This book on Jaino-Buddhist religion places stress on the common factors on the religious life of the Jaina and Buddhists. On comparing the literature of both, the writer has come to the conclusion that coming in close association each sect has either borrowed from the other or both have derived material from a common source. He has shown the similarities between old Jainism and old Buddhism and proved that both were one and the same at their base; that the old Buddhism was nothing but old Jainism and that Gautama Buddha must have preached the same philosophy that was preached by old Buddhism. This is a reprint of the 1932 classic.

Language: Translated into English with Notes Pages: 413 Preface India has long continued to be the centre of attraction not only in respect of its wealth and civilization but in that of its intellectual advancement. To it converged, as to a common focus, the eyes of foreigners from the earliest period of the world's history. It was the one fountain of knowledge from which issued streams to water distant lands of ignorance at every point of the compass, now yielding abundance of intellectual harvest. Time was when Indian wisdom shone resplendent, and, from its eminence, dazzled the eyes of distant nations-distant geographically and distant chronologically,- illumined every corner of the intellectual horizon and served as a beacon, lighting the paths of erring travellers. History is puzzled in its attempt to reach the data of Aryan civilization. Antiquarians are at logger-heads in their conclusions touching the age of Aryan learning. Now it is well known that Aryan learning dates from the remotest antiquity. The Aryans have cultivated almost every department of knowledge. As the art of printing was unknown a large proportion of Aryan literature ha been washed into oblivion by the mighty ways of time. Not a few remain, "Like Stranded wrecks the tide returning hoarse to sweep them from our sight". Unless rescued from their fate. But most of the Hindus, of the present day, can not use the books themselves. The public can therefore do much if their eyes could only be opened to the importance of the subject, Most of the English knowing natives hardly know what these books treat of. I have many a time astonished young Collegians and graduates they were surprised to find that the Aryans knew what the Europeans know forgetting that these sciences were taken to the west from here. Now it has come to my knowled

Language: (English Translation Only) Pages: 570 From the Jacket The Natyasastra deals with the rules relating to theatrical performances, in fact to the science of stage. The science is intended as a guide alike to the poet and the player. The author of this work was Bharata, the sage. It is known as Sutra as it embodies principles set out in a very concise form. The present work consists of 36 chapters. Bharata divides the work broadly into four sections based on abhinayas or modes of conveyance of the theatrical pleasure, called rasa, is pure and differs from the pleasure we derive from the actual contact with the objects of world which is always mingled with pain, these modes of abhinaya are four, 1) Sattvika conveyed by the effort of mind,2) Angika or the natural movement of the organs when any thought is expressed or conveyed, 3) Vacika, the delivery through expression and 4) Aharya, the dress, attached great importance to the first of these modes and deals with it in chapters 6 and 7. Expressions of feeling is conveyed to a strangers only by gestures or through the organs of speech. Hence Angika abhinaya comes next and is dealt with in chapters 8th which extends over chapters 14 to 20. Then comes Ahraya, i.e. dress and scenic aplliances and mutual conduct or movements on the stage along with the musical auxilaries behind the stage to intensify the emotional effect produced on the stage. The fourth the commencement of the actual drama. Chapter 35 and 36 are supplementary and deal with the qualifications and behaviour of the actors and actresses on the stage and how the theatrice descended from Heaven to Earth. The present translation includes critical notes and an index of the terms. The book is published under Raga Nrtya Series no.2.
