About the Literature

 

The books were published between 1977 and 2008. The entire work has been written in Hindi, and the core books published in about 13 volumes,  in the classical Indian style  in three sets: Darshan, Vaada and Shastra. (Direct Insight > Dialectics> Code of Conduct)

The literature has been written using the paribhasha* style or definition method where all important words/concepts have been defined anew. The ‘definitions’ connect the ‘word’ with ‘meaning’ in reality.

The books are not mutually exclusive of each other – since it is the same existence, reality they are addressing, only seen in different dimensions of cognition & different ‘aspects’ of living.

Knowledge itself is such that all of it can be expressed in a single line. The books only contain information. The Human being is ultimately the carrier of this knowledge.

The purpose of publishing the books is neither for publicity nor profit. The entire cost of publishing has been borne by Shree A Nagraj himself. It is hoped that you would use these books to have realization yourself and live with evidence of the same.

#This set of books focus on the realization and insights achieved of reality. The meaning of the word ‘Darshan’ means direct ’seeing reality as-it-is’ or ‘sight’ or ‘realistic-view’ .

Shaastra: or Codes

-Humane code of conduct

Definition of Shaastra: Inspiration for self-discipline, Activity of transmission capable of ensuring assimilation of restraint 

# translators notes: ‘shaastra’ denotes code-of-conduct or ‘discipline’. i.e. the darsana’s cover the understanding of reality, the vaad or ‘isms cover the expansion & explanation of what was understood at the level of thought – i.e. such ‘knowledge’ coming in thought, and this thought then comes in living, in the form of a self-determined ‘code-of-conduct, based on what was understood/known. 

Sociology – behavioral:

  • In behavior, in the form of sociology, (behavioral sociology). Maps to darsana of human behavior and behavior-centric humanism which provide its basis.

Lays out the proposed organization of human societal systems in 5 aspects and ’10 staged arrangement’ of world order.

Psychology – consciousness based:

  • In mentality as human-consciousness oriented psychology. – maps to darsana of human realization/experience and experience-centric spiritualism  which provide its basis.

 Samvidhan: Human Constitution:

– in the form of humane code of ethics 

Definition of Constitution: Aphorisms and explanation of Law frameworksfor the purpose of evidence of perfection in tradition. Law frameworks, Norms, Justice, Conduct; Awakened Human, Fundamental Rights, Orderliness (Human Systems).

#The Constitution provides the overall basis& law-frameworks  for Human Society and its existential basis on Actuality, Reality & Truth. This is a ‘Universal Human Constitution’

‘Proof ‘or ‘evidence’ (pramana) is thus of:

  1. ‘evidence of realization’,
  2. ‘evidence in behavior’ and
  3. ‘evidence in experiment’ (in work)

via living according to humane psychology, sociology & economics – respectively.


*Paribhasha means definitions. Although the words used in these books and on this site may seem familiar, they have different meanings than which is currently associated with them. The definitions, or paribhasha – link the words to meanings in reality – entities in reality are as meanings, and on reading the words with the definitions (paribhasha ), and deploying our ability for imagination, it becomes possible to understand the same meanings ourselves. I.e. These words are pointers to meanings in reality, which can be studied, understood (‘seen‘) and ‘realized’ by a human being, in himself.

It is a requirement that the literature be studied with the accompanying definitions or paribhasha.
