Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - If at any time you have looked upon the happenings in India with deep anguish and longed for solutions this book is for you. It brings together a set of timeless ancient ideas that have worked wonders when they were properly applied in the past; these ideas have been re-interpreted for the present India. The book also gives an action plan for the villages of India to journey into freedom through their own village self-initiative. In the search for a socio-political-economic solution for the difficult challenges faced by India the book delves into spiritualism and tradition without losing sight of scientific principles. This harmonizing between science and spirituality is unique about the book. Over all, the book seeks to inform Team India about the opportunities available for realizing India's best potentials. A revolution must happen in the villages of India. The governments of independent India, in their sincere but misplaced attempts at doing welfare for the villages, have been stifling village life, killing village initiatives, and muting village self-expression. They did not lack good intention but they did lack the conviction to implement Gandhian ideas. It is high time for the citizens in the villages to dispel the ignorance, to take initiative, and work in teams to unleash their potentials. When villages rise, India will transform. And surely they will because the answers emerge from Gandhiji's vision, from the successful 'village republics' described in the Uttaramerur inscriptions and from the various present day successful village revolutions that have dotted the length and breadth of India. India has had an uninterrupted civilisation for at least five thousand years. This is partly because our ancient wise have taught us to raise ourselves to excellence and freedom. The freedom the ancients talk about is not limited to the freedom the nation achieved at Independence. It is about life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness is flavoured by a deep self-understanding. It is about doing duties rather than asking for rights. And there is historical evidence to suggest that when this duty bound excellence manifested in the actions of the temporal powers, then under those temporal powers common people rose to excellence, happiness and prosperity. In this time and age, all those wielding power be it in their homes, workplaces, communities or government, must understand how these levers turn. Understanding duty bound excellence as encoded in dharma will make India rise to be the thought leader of the 21st century. His perspectives on the various aspects of Hinduism are well presented, and he makes a convincing case for the reader to pay heed to the intellectual giants of ancient India. In my view, this is an excellent book, and very briefly, it is a great tribute to Hinduism. - T.N. Seshan (IAS), Former Chief Election Commissioner of India, Chennai, Feb 2013 This book is a very valuable contribution by Mr Nixon Fernando to remove the apathy and indifference with which those in power look at development issues. - Dr. Lalitha Ramamurthi, Chairperson, Gandhi Peace Foundation, Chennai. Nixon's methods of drawing secular but spiritual wisdom from the works of the wise is sure to benefit serious thinkers and light up the path ahead a little more. - Prof. Bala V. Balachandran, Founder and Dean, Great Lakes Institute of Management, Chennai, India Distinguished Professor (Emeritus in service) Northwestern University, Illinois, USA.…
