Renewing Eternity: Traditional Perspectives for the Modern Hindu - Twenty One Wide-Ranging Essays (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798987834176)

From the author of "Light in the Forest: A Dharmic Landscape for Hindu Kids & Their Parents" and "It's Not for Nothing That We Stand for Something: Basic Intellectual Self-Defence for Hindu Parents" comes this compelling compilation of 21 essays-now presented with a brand-new Preface and Epilogue.

Wide-ranging, incisive and thought-provoking, these essays distil complex ideas from philosophy, sociology, anthropology, and theology into accessible language with an engaging and intimate style. They equip readers with the intellectual tools to navigate contemporary cultural and ideological challenges with clarity and confidence.

Structured into six distinct sections, this book explores:

1. AWAKENING - A sharper, more reciprocal understanding of the place of Hindus in the matrix of modern life.

2. CLARITY - A critical response to historical and contemporary misconceptions that have shaped discourse on Hindu society.

3. CULTURE & VALUES - A deep dive into the nature of cultural imagination with a focus on Hindu values and their place in Modernity.

4. COMMUNITY & SOCIETY - A fresh perspective on the nature of social structures that challenges inherited narratives while fostering self-awareness about ancestral Hindu frameworks.

5. PURVA PAKSHA - A rigorous critique of Western Modernity, Liberalism, and Progressivism from a traditional lens.

6. ENQUIRY - A recap of the dilemmas that Western Modernity has brought to our doorstep, and their possible intellectual resolution through a series of questions, answers and thought excursions.

Rooted in Dharmic thought and unafraid to challenge prevailing narratives, this book is an invitation to think critically, reclaim intellectual agency, and engage with the modern world from a position of insight & strength.
