Description
Book Description: Hard Bound, , Fine, (Demy Octavo), (Sanskrit Text, Roman with English Translation), Three Shatakas of Bhartrihari maps the journey of the human mind through different stages of growth and maturity : from the pleasures of erotic love and ecstatic celebration of senses through n indignant rejection of earthly ple4asures to an equanimity, a calm attained by the taming of the temptations through meditation and philosophical contemplation on the nature of things. In keeping with Hindu view of life, the ancient poet gives as much importance of love as to dispassion (Vairagya) and ethical conduct (Niti). The aphorisms on ethical conduct enshrine the quintessence of the Vedantic view of life as Bhartrihari makes the Law of karma subservient to the human freewill and individual effort, thereby reinstating the dignity of man
