By writing this book, the author wishes to share his perspective on Reality, the Cosmos, Life, Birth, Death, Rebirth, Transmigration, Divinity, the Karmic cycle, Moksha, Nirvana based on knowledge gathered from experience, Hindu scriptures and customs, Vedic and Puranic stories, the institution of deities, religious rituals and practices, Science and the world at large. In this book, the author has made an effort to trace the rationale behind Hindu myths, Deities, Rituals, and Beliefs. The author draws moral courage and strength to write this book from the institution of Devi/Devta, which forms an integral part of the social fabric of Pahari culture (culture of the people living in the hills) widely spread in the Western Himalayas, especially Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand. The book’s premise for the plurality of Hindu deities may, in part, be traced to this Devi/Devta culture. The author earnestly believes that the book would make interesting and informative reading, as it presents a perspective that is apparently at variance with some of the popular notions of Reality and Divinity. It is not a commentary or critique on any religious philosophy, beliefs, or scientific discoveries/theories, though reference to them has been liberally made. The author hopes that his perspective would help kindle the imagination and curiosity of the reader to explore the vast and enigmatic Reality/Cosmos at a personal level and find his/her answers to the aforesaid metaphysical matters.

In this extraordinarily candid book, Umesh Patri presents a fresh reappraisal of the impact of Indian scriptures on American transcendentalism which flourished in New England in the 19th century. The major premise of the study is that other influences on the transcendentalists, such as Chinese, Persian, Sufi, Arabic, Neo-Platonism and German transcendentalism, are of less significance than that of Indian scriptures comprising of Hindu and Buddhist texts. In the writings of Emerson, Thoreau and minor transcendentalists like Alcott, Fuller, Channing, Johnson, Brownson, etc., the influence of Indian scriptures is clearly discernable. An attempt has been made here to show that Indian scriptures have not only influenced the philosophical thinking of these writers but also their lifestyle and social conduct. It also attempts to show that transcendentalism was not an isolated movement but was a part of a cultural renaissance which swept the entire nation in the wake of avid interest and curiosity in the ancient lore of other countries. Transcendentalism, it is suggested here, continues to affect the thinking of Americans and can be viewed as a continuing movement of thought in American intellectual history. This book draws attention to many aspects of transcendentalism which have not been adequately discussed so far.

This book unfolds the eternal truths about the kingdom of God through the eight parables described in the gospel of Matthew chapter 13, emphasising Christ as the person of the fulfilment of all the types, shadows, figures, pictures, symbols, illustrations, patterns, events, feasts, ceremonies, rituals, sacrifices, people, promises, prophecies and even the various laws of the old covenant. These parables expose the three-fold aspect of the judgement by which the old covenant remains completely abolished. The first was when Christ crucified Adam in His body of flesh and separated Adam from Himself. The second was when Christ as the Son of Man appeared in judgement over the nation of Israel and the temple in A.D. 70 through the Roman army, destroying the entire old covenant system. The third is the subjective experience of the objective reality of Christ’s death to be manifested in each one of us personally through the new birth when we identify ourselves with Him by bearing His death and live by His life. All the Parables concern themselves with the kingdom of God which is a spiritual kingdom formed within us when our created or soulish life is replaced with the divine life of God in Christ Jesus. Since only Christ lives in His kingdom, He invites us to live in and by Him who alone is the life, thus destroying our Adamic nature that stands in opposition to the will of the Father, by His abiding presence within us, and enables the transition from Adam the living soul or the realm of death into Christ the life-giving Spirit or the realm of life. The Parables of Matthew 13 thus consummate the desire of Christ, “that they may be one,” when mankind irrespective of denomination, caste, colour, creed and nationality live in and by the life of the One who died and rose for them, establishing them in the Father.
