Svayambodha and Shatrubodha: Hindu View of Self and the World Hardcover
$29.00Svayambodha and Shatrubodha aims to build a foundational framework to help Hindus discover who they are and who they are not. The Hindu consciousness is built upon the wisdom to differentiate between dharma and adharma. As long as this viveka is alive, Hindu society thrives. A loss of this discriminating power leads to decay and degeneration. In the last few hundred years, especially in the post-independence era, this core Hindu aptitude to survive and thrive has been lost. As a result, the very fabric of Hindu society developed ruptures, leading to socio-political and civilizational decline. Great saints, thinkers, and leaders like Swami Vivekananda, Shri Aurobindo, Lokmanya Tilak, Veer Savarkar, Ram Swarup, and Sita Ram Goel started and continued the revival of the Hindu intellect. This book is a small attempt to take that intellectual Hindu renaissance forward by rekindling the viveka that is necessary to differentiate between dharma and adharma. The Svayambodha–Shatrubodha framework does this by making Hindus aware of their civilizational core on one hand and by sensitizing them about the civilizational threats that Sanatana Dharma and Hindu society face today.Product description
