Eternal Bharat: Truth, Meaning and Beauty (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798885751537)

ABOUT THE BOOK: -

Eternal Bhārat describes India's civilizational engagement with the eternal and how this led to amazing insights into the nature of reality; insights, which got mapped into Bhārat's art and culture-across literature, theatre, music, dance, painting and architecture, and much more. Exploring consciousness via three aspects of will, knowledge and action, Bhāratiya art and culture essayed how life is meant to be lived to the fullest in the domains of ambition and desire, even while staying within the guardrails of ethics and morality, and freedom and renunciation.

Subhash Kak is professor at Oklahoma State University in Stillwater. He has authored twenty-five books, of which the most recent was The Idea of India: Bharat as a Civilisation. Since 2018, he has been a member of the Indian Prime Minister's Science, Technology, and Innovation Advisory Council.

"Subhash Kak presents a clear, concise, luminous yet multidimensional view of what is probably the oldest, most profound and transcendent civilization in the world, that of India, Eternal Bharat, the land of perennial seers and sages."

-David Frawley

Acharya, Author, and Director, American Institute of Vedic Studies

"The book would very well serve as a gateway to Indian knowledge and is a must-read for any serious student of Indian knowledge and its civilizational past."

-B. Mahadevan

Professor, Indian Institute of Management Bangalore

"Subhash Kak maps the Cosmic processes represented by Shiva, Vishnu and the Goddess on the canvas of a place called Time using the wisdom of Vedas and Upanishads and what emerges is Eternal Bharat."

-Sanjay Dixit

Author and Founder of the Jaipur Dialogues

"In this beautifully illustrated and lucidly articulated book, Subhash Kak dives deep into the meaning of "eternal" Bharat that is India... Highly recommended!"

"This book offers a bridge to profound concepts, inviting readers of all ages, particularly the youth, to explore and understand the depths of Hindu thought in the context of the modern world.'

-Hari Vadlamani

Founder, INDICA

"Quoting extensively from Upanishadic, Vedic and other texts, Subhash-ji explains the Indic view of the nature of consciousness, a question of urgent interest today as many debate whether artificial intelligences can ever become conscious."
