Our story takes place in British India around the first half of the twentieth century when great political changes were sweeping the globe. The two world wars were exposing inhabitants of the world’s secluded regions to modernity, creating cultural conflicts. The mighty British Empire, after reaching its zenith, was crumbling. Gandhi was emerging as a national leader and teaching his followers that freedom from foreign domination can be attained by nonviolent means and that the inhumane treatment of outcastes in India is evil and must end. Father Gambino, twenty-eight, reaches India in 1920 from Italy. He mission is to spread Christ’s love to the pagans who worship idols and believe in many gods instead of his one true God. His goal is to save souls and open churches, schools, and orphanages. He refuses to learn or benefit from the experiences of other Catholic priests in India. He suspects many of his Christian beliefs were diluted, or even defiled, by exposure to Eastern thoughts. After a few years, however, his provincialism lessens when he meets and hears a scholarly British commissioner with in-depth knowledge of Hinduism and Buddhism. When the Japanese army reaches the Indo-Burmese border, Gambino moves from central India to the northeast to work in the Assam Mission. Here, the year after America enters World War II, he rescues an orphan from certain starvation and takes him to a Catholic orphanage. Krishna Swamy was born in the Deccan in 1885, the grandson of a temple priest who believes that everyone shouldn’t read or even hear the Vedas. He accepts the caste system as a natural order. His son secretly resents him and spends the last years of his life with the untouchables, defiantly teaching them the forbidden Vedas. When he masters the Sanskrit grammar his grandfather teaches, Krishna accompanies two of his friends on a pilgrimage. During the journey, the precocious seventeen-year-old observes the strength and confidence of Westerners and the fatalism and superstitions of his countrymen. At Banaras and Sarnath, they expand their horizons by attending many theological discussions. After relinquishing his priestly birthrights, he assumes the nonsectarian name of Bir Dharma and proceeds alone to Calcutta University to become “modern” by studying Christianity, English, and Western values. Professor Das and Brother Curren offer him a scholarship as a Sanskrit grammarian. Bir and Curren become close friends. They discuss commonalities between Hinduism and Catholicism. Bir soon discovers that studying other faiths develops respect for all religions. In 1911, Bir meets Nongrim Hilly in Calcutta who later joins the priesthood to spread Christ’s love to the remote northeast regions. Hilly asks Bir to convert and join him in spreading Catholicism. But Bir declines. He fears organized religions. After six years at the university, Bir goes to Delhi to work in the construction of the new imperial capital. There, a Sikh befriends him and invites him to a gurdwara where he learns about Guru Nanak’s teachings and Sikh history. Construction slows during World War I. Unemployment grows, and the future looks bleak. A cult member offers human sacrifice for early rain. While reporting this monstrosity to a newspaper, Bir meets a foreign war correspondent who introduces him to American and Indian papers as a Westernized guru and freelancer. His fame spreads. Colleges and universities invite him to lecture. Commissioner Gait requests him to speak about Hinduism to his new Indian Civil Service officers. Here Bir meets Gambino. When Bir visits the temples of Bhubaneswar, a cyclone devastates the coastal regions of Orrisa. Gambino joins the Catholic Relief Mission and shows Bir the importance of organization in undertaking large projects. Gambino next visits Father Kenny in Calcutta who advises him to meet Father Hil

For almost fifty years, Sources of Japanese Tradition has been the single most valuable collection of English-language readings on Japan. Unrivalled in its wide selection of source materials on history, society, politics, education, philosophy, and religion, the two-volume textbook is a crucial resource for students, scholars, and readers seeking an introduction to Japanese civilization. Originally published in a single hardcover book, Volume 2 is now available as an abridged, two-part paperback. Part 1 covers the Tokugawa period to 1868, including texts that address the spread of neo-Confucianism and Buddhism and the initial encounters of Japan and the West. Part 2 begins with the Meiji period and ends at the new millennium, shedding light on such major movements as the Enlightenment, constitutionalism, nationalism, socialism, and feminism, and the impact of the postwar occupation. Commentary by major scholars and comprehensive bibliographies and indexes are included. Together, these readings map out the development of modern Japanese civilization and illuminate the thought and teachings of its intellectual, political, and religious leaders.

Bushido Explained written by Alexander Bennett and has been published by Tuttle Publishing this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2020-03-10 with Sports & Recreation categories.
This seminal work by historian Alexander Bennett presents a broad overview of the Japanese "Way of the Warrior" as it is expressed in scores of classical Japanese texts written by famous Samurai themselves. Bennett's analysis of these writings shows that the essential meaning of Bushido, the Samurai's code of conduct and ethics, evolved significantly over time--from the 12th century when the warrior class was elevated to become an elite group, to the 19th century when the Samurai class was suddenly disbanded. Bushido Explained takes a visual approach to presenting important concepts and terminology, helping readers easily navigate the complex world of the Samurai. The text is written in a highly accessible style, with sidebars presenting interesting concepts, facts and important Samurai figures who were central to Bushido's evolution. The different types of Bushido--which vary by region, time period and Samurai rank--are presented with over 300 informative diagrams and illustrations. No other book offers such a wide-ranging, yet clear analysis of Bushido--debunking myths and misconceptions about who the Samurai truly were. Bushido Explained presents a precise overview of Samurai ideals and culture in a logical, chronological order. Author Alexander Bennett--a professor of Japanese history, martial arts and Budo theory at Kansai university in Japan--uses this information and teaching methods in his Japanese Studies: Introduction to Bushido class. Now, readers all over the world can sit in on the unique lesson.
