Devtaon Ka Maun - Journey Into...

Rajiv Mudgal

This book “देवताओं का मौन (The Gods have gone silent)” is a philosophical journey into the very living heart of non-dual Vedanta. 
Today our modern existence rests on the loss and disappearance of the fact-value distinction that embody science and technological development at the expense of what it means to be a living being. It traces the essence of Vedanta through the streets and crossings of modern India and engages with extraordinary living masters in trying to answer some of our most pressing spiritual questions such as:What is this dwelling and who is this dweller.How is the dweller to chalk his way to his being?Who are the modern Rishis and how are we to become one?If Truth cannot be acquired or learnt, then how can it be transmitted. 
How do we know it, If it is the indescribable, undefinable, unutterable, unspeakable, incommunicable, ineffable; beyond words, beyond description, then by what and in what are we to seek its body.

Literature and the New Culture...

Deborah Appleman

Can educators continue to teach troubling but worthwhile texts? 
 
 
 
Our current "culture wars" have reshaped the politics of secondary literature instruction. Due to a variety of challenges from both the left and the right—to language or subject matter, to potentially triggering content, or to authors who have been canceled—school reading lists are rapidly shrinking. For many teachers, choosing which books to include in their curriculum has become an agonizing task with political, professional, and ethical dimensions. 
 
 
 
In Literature and the New Culture Wars, Deborah Appleman calls for a reacknowledgment of the intellectual and affective work that literature can do, and offers ways to continue to teach troubling texts without doing harm. Rather than banishing challenged texts from our classrooms, she writes, we should be confronting and teaching the controversies they invoke. Her book is a timely and eloquent argument for a reasoned approach to determining what literature still deserves to be read and taught and discussed.
