Non-Renunciation: Themes and Interpretations of Hindu Culture

This critical study offers a fresh appraisal of Hindu tradition as a rich and sensible philosophy of life, one based on plenitude, domesticity, transcendence, and control. Distinguished scholar T.N. Madan analyzes the ideas of Hinduism that dominate the literature of India, such as "renunciation," "purity," and "auspiciousness," and explains how modernity has changed conceptions of the good life, causing Hindus to search anew for their sense of self and social orientation.Madan, Triloki N. is the author of 'Non-Renunciation: Themes and Interpretations of Hindu Culture' with ISBN 9780195620405 and ISBN 0195620402.
