DESCRIPTION:
This book addresses the issue of "Christian Gospel" and "Culture" in the multi-faith context of India. The Author believes that, Bishop Lesslie Newbigin's clarion call of "Gospel as Public Truth" is the point of departure in relation to the Religious Pluralism prevalent in India. Christian Gospel is unabashedly hinged to the person of Jesus, the Christ. When this Gospel is preached as "Public Truth" in a context like India there is all possibility that it is misunderstood and even rejected. In such a scenario, two tendencies are usually visible: privatizing of the Christian Gospel or a bulldozing of it on others. Either of these can be dangerous, detrimental and counter productive to the affirmation of both Christian Gospel and Culture.

DESCRIPTION:
The Sermons and sayings of the Buddha are gems of “purest ray serene”,picked up at random from the vast treasures of Digha Nikaya,Majjhima Nikaya ,Anguttara Nikaya ,Uddana etc. It may be that there are numerous verses and chapters in these noble works that could be considered more illuminating than those selected by us.
But then such a selection as this, of its very nature, can never be fully representative.
The short pieces put together in this volume are not literal translation of the texts on which they are based. The writings published in the present series were not designed to be translations of the Buddhist texts. Our object has been to present in simple language the kernel of Buddhist thought in such a manner that the common man may be able to grasp it without difficulty. Therefore, the success of our endeavor, in our opinion, is to be judged by the reaction of the common man and not that of the spiritual mentor or the literary critic.

DESCRIPTION:
The wisdom contained in Seeds of consciousness and Prior to Consciousness emerged from dialogues with devotees, who came from all over the world to learn the mysteries of life at the feet of the Maharaj, until a few days before his death in 1981 at the age of 84. Jean Dunn, a close follower of Maharaj, was with him towards his last days. She observes that,”During the last two years of his life Maharaj did not entertain any questions pertaining to this worldly life and its improvement. He taught only the highest truth. Even one sentenceof his was like an Upanishad. He was very blunt and sharp in his answers and did not cater for anyone’s ego.
In fact, his stated purpose was to destroy this ‘Pseudo-entity’. To be in his presence was to feel the vibrant truth, Impossible to describe. He was amazing to watch …….One could only gaze at him in total love and awe”, says Jean.

DESCRIPTION:
Jean Dunn has once again accompanied the great teacher of ‘IAMNESS’ on his journey through the material world and recorded his precious final teachings. To hear faithful transcription of the Maharaj’s voice is to put oneself at his feet one more time. Long time students of this great teacher will find comfort in the unchanging assurances of a spiritual testament which has already touched their lives; new comers to his message of beingness and the final abode of the absolute will find here the keys he offers to unlocking the human riddle and may then deepen their understanding by reading the earlier works of Maharaj.Each of his messages reads as a final insistent imperative.
“True happiness cannot be found in things that change, decay and die. True happiness comes from the self and can be found in self only-not your bodily self, but the inner self - which is the everlasting reservoir of joy. All search for happiness outside yourself is misery and leads to more misery.”- Nisargadatta Maharaj
