There are two opposing views about language, both advanced by distinguished thinkers. One view holds that a language is external to objects and thoughts; the otherview regards it as fundamental to them. In what sense or senses are these views true? Can they be reconciled?
Language has not merely expressed man's fears; it has also expressed his sense of mystery. Again and again, man has sung of Gods and Divine Life and his idea of the Good and the Beautiful in ...
As its very name describes, this volume is a rejoinder to Pope John Paul’s recent book crossing the Threshold of Hope. While repeating old claims for the Church and its dogmas, his book notices non-Christian religions without the customary derogatory epithets. It is a new thing in Christianity. In the past, “other” religions were simply handiwork of the devil, and it was the special duty of the Church to overthrow them. The old aim still remains ...
The present title "Elements of the Nature and Prospectus of Soil" deals with the environment of soil including the climate terrain and vegetation. It also provides the nature of soil, its structure and ecology in a clear, authoritative and readable style with clear and self explanatory illustration.

His Hindu View of Christianity and Islam is a classic in the field of comparative religion, for the first time perhaps introducing a ...
This work, from a non-Muslim perspective, is based on Sahih Muslim, which has the advantage of being available in an English translation. The subjects that the Hadis treat are multiple and diverse. It gives the Prophet's view of Allah, of the here and the hereafter of hell and heaven, of the Last Day of Judgment, or iman (faith), Salat (prayer), Zakat (poor tax), Sawm (fast), and hajj (Pilgrimage), popularly known as religious subjects; but it also includes his ...
Hitherto, scholars have looked at Hinduism through the eyes of Christianity and Islam, but here an attempt has been made to discuss them from the viewpoint of Hindu spirituality. The two prophetic religions have a long history of conflict but they also share a common spiritual perspective. Almost from their birth, they have been systematic persecutors of pagan religions, cultures and nations. In the heyday of their domination, they acquired great prestige and ...
First published in 1861 in four volumes, this Indian reprint with a 26-page introduction by Ram Swarup, is a pioneering study based wholly on orthodox original sources. After this work, many Lives of the Prophet have appeared, but it still remains a classic and in some ways has not yet been surpassed in comprehensiveness and in the wealth of material. William Muir's The Life of Mahomet was first published in four volumes, a pioneering study based wholly on ...
