Was Swami Vivekananda Truly an Epitome of Indian Culture and Nationalism? Seeing through the Eyes of Acharya Pradyot Kumar Mukhopadhyay
The Unhappy Cārvāka
Metareflections on Krishna Chandra Bhattacharyya’s Bhagvadgītā Vicāra
This review article critically studies Krishna Chandra Bhattacharyya’s (KCB) Bhagavadgītā Vicāra using D. K. Mohanta’s English translation from Bengali, published by the Indian Council of Philosophical Research. The article can be considered a metareflection, as it researches into the KCB’s reflections and interpretation of the Bhagavadgītā thematically rather than chronologically. Utilizing Mohanta’s translation, the article scrutinizes the grad…

Dharma Out of the Mystic Cave
The Gnostic Journey from the Life Divine to the Divine Life
In recent years, Sri Aurobindo—a twentieth-century Indian thinker and visionary—has attracted renewed interest across diverse fields, including spirituality, nationalism, aesthetics and the philosophy of mind.

Such questions have been a riddle for ancient sages and modern scholars of the Vedāntic tradition, alike. Interestingly, if any thinker has made this discourse more puzzling, it is none other than Śaṅkarācārya (c. 7th–9th centuries CE); through his famous dictum, Brahma satyam jagat-mith…
Making of Contemporary Indian Philosophy and Dilemmas of Demanded Change
One of the legacies of Western philosophical thought has been its evolution through movements and slogans such as modernism, postmodernism, existentialism and analyticism. These popular intellectual standpoints have contributed to making Western culture more dialogical and progressive. However, in contrast, exploration of socio-philosophical movements within the Indian philosophical tradition, except for ancient times, remains relatively uncharte…
Essential Unity of Jainism and Sustainability
The conventional concept of sustainability is commonly limited to the realm of diplomacy, emphasizing the need to protect the environment while also addressing human needs and desires. However, upon closer examination, this definition and practice reveals a deeply ingrained anthropocentric perspective in which human beings occupy the dominant position within the value systems. This perspective raises the crucial question of whether it provides a …

The five papers identify actions and movements that are situated in the "middle" between the individual and larger social and economic formations, and inbetween social and economic status- quo and revolution…
