Language: EnglishPages: 480Foreword THE PATH OF THE MASTERS by Dr. Julian Johnson has made a unique contribution to the spread of Sant Mat across the world. A universal path of action taught by spiritual masters, Sant Mat enables people to experience divine reality within themselves, irrespective of their religion or cultural affiliations. The attentive reader may find that some of Dr. Johnson's opinions have been stated in an extreme manner. Perhaps his tone and language will appear patronizing when looked at through the lens of a modern global awareness of religious and cultural history. If we step back, we realize that like all of us, Dr. Johnson was a man of his times, yet he was also a man of logic and reason who rejected blind faith. His background and the many events of his life that started his search and eventually led him to India are described in brief in the Preface. Throughout his life Dr. Johnson searched for God. He quotes Swami Vivekananda: "The end of all religions is the realization of God:' Dr. Johnson sought that realization. He wanted it demonstrable as any other science, universally applicable to all humanity, not distorted by superstition that was unbefitting to a scientific age, not limited to some people and inaccessible to others. Most importantly he sought spiritual reality he could experience here and now in this very life. He could not find it in religion, he could not find it in other philosophies, he could not find anyone among the priests and clergy, the academics or philosophers, who could answer his questions or point out a way that made sense to him. Nothing short of personal experience would satisfy him. In his restless searching he had lived a full and rich life, knowing many ups and downs. After some seventy years, after giving up a ve

The tafsīr of al-Qurṭubī is perhaps one of the most compendious of them all and is certainly among the most famous. As its title, al-Jāmi' li Aḥkām al-Qur'ān - The General Judgments of the Qur'an, suggests, its main focus is on the rulings and judgments to be found in the Qur'ān. However, in the course of doing that, al-Qurṭubī examines all the relevant sciences necessary, such as the ḥadīth pertaining to the āyahs, events in the sīrah, what the Companions, their Followers and other noted people of knowledge said about the āyahs, essential aspects of Arabic etymology, syntax and usage, copiously illustrated by examples, and much more.In this volume, the author continues through the second juz'(two ḥizbs) of Sūrat al-Baqarah, stopping to examine aḥkām/judgments in greater detail including the changing of the qiblah, ḥajj, retaliation, fasting, wills and bequests, menstruation, marriage and divorce, fighting in the Way of Allah, Ṭālūt and Jālūt, and lending Allah a generous loan, a list, however, which hardly does justice to the range of subject matter and depth of treatment of this extraordinary work.

This book explores the rhetoric and ritual of Indian elites undercolonialism, focusing on the city of Surat in the Bombay Presidency. It particularly examines how local elites appropriated and modified the liberal representative discourse of Britain and thus fashioned a "public' culture that excluded the city's underclasses. Departing from traditional explanations that have seen this process as resulting from English education or radical transformations in society, Haynes emphasizes the importance of the unequal power relationship between the British and those Indians who struggled for political influence and justice within the colonial framework. A major contribution of the book is Haynes' analysis of the emergence and ultimate failure of Ghandian cultural meanings in Indian politics after 1923.The book addresses issues of importance to historians and anthropologists of India, to political scientists seeking to understand the origins of democracy in the "Third World," and general readers interested in comprehending processes of cultural change in colonial contexts.

Tolstoy wrote some incredible novels, but these little fables are quick to read and simply told. The most memorable one describes the fate of a man who lets his greed get the best of him. These four short stories, (What Men Live By, Three Questions, The Coffee-House of Surat, and How Much Land Does a Man Need?) are well worth reading, re-reading, and mulling over.

Socioeconomic history of Surat; a study.

An acclaimed history of empire and resistance: this is the moving story of the rebel prince who beat the world’s most powerful corporation. The ships of the East India Company first docked at India's shores in Surat in the early 17th century. In time, through astute politics and military power, the Company became masters of this great port. But the Company came not with the intention of building Indian maritime trade, but with the single-minded goal of destroying its trading prowess. By 1800 the port was completely annexed, through a Treaty that gave protection to future generations of the local Nawab rulers. But, as elsewhere in India, the Company violated its promises. It stopped the family’s income, usurping its palaces, estates, jewellery and possessions. This left the infant granddaughters of the last Nawab on the brink of destitution. But in an unprecedented counter-attack, the father of the two girls stood to defy the Empire and expose its corruption overseas to the British at home. Traveling to London, he would shatter the Company's reputation. His campaign for justice would call for the end of British rule in Hindustan. Not only did the prince win back the family's possessions for his daughters but found true love in Victorian England.

Padma Desai grew up in the 1930s in the provincial world of Surat, where she had a sheltered and strict upbringing in a traditional Gujarati Anavil Brahmin family. Her academic brilliance won her a scholarship to Bombay University, where the first heady taste of freedom in the big city led to tragic consequences???seduction by a fellow student whom she was then compelled to marry. In a failed attempt to end this disastrous first marriage, she converted to Christianity. A scholarship to America in 1955 launched her on her long journey to liberation from the burdens and constraints of her life in India, with a growing self-awareness and transformation at many levels, as she made a new life for herself, met and married the celebrated economist Jagdish Bhagwati, became a mother, and rose to academic eminence at Harvard and Columbia. How did she navigate the tumultuous road to assimilation in American society and culture? And what did she retain of her Indian upbringing in the process? This brave and moving memoir, written with a novelist???s skill at evoking personalities, places and atmosphere, and a scholar???s insights into culture and society, community and family.
