Aprašymas

2020 Reprint of the 1915 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition and not reproduced with Optical Recognition software. Written by Nobel Prize Laureate Rabindranath Tagore, Sadhana is a profound, highly accessible introduction to India's ancient spiritual heritage. This collection of essays is Rabindranath Tagore's excellent introduction to the subject of Indian spirituality. Tagore's objective in this work was to give the reader an understanding not only of the scripture but as to the practice, as he writes, "So in these papers, it may be hoped, western readers will have an opportunity of coming into touch with the ancient spirit of India as revealed in our sacred texts and manifested in the life of to-day." Compiled and translated by Tagore from his Bengali lectures, the book consists of eight essays, in which Tagore answers some of the most profound questions of life: Why did God create this world? Why would a Perfect Being, instead of remaining eternally concentrated in Himself, go through the trouble of manifesting the Universe? Why does evil exist? Do love and beauty have a purpose?
