| Budhanum
Naunuguruvaum - Dr K Sugathan An
in depth study which starts with Gautama Budha
more than 2500 years ago and ends in Narayana
Guru, who is considered as a modern Budha by
many.
Thus the book in a way spans the last 2500
years and throws light on vastly diversified
areas of religious, social and cultural evolution
in India.
The book explains the foundations of Budhism.
For most of us budhism is just 'ahimso
paramodharmam' as we learned in schools... We get
a much clearer picture from this book. Dr
Sugathan has used the original Pali language
(with the more familiar Sanskrit versions in
quotes) when the principles of Budhism are
discussed.
The book also contains a short description of
all religions in the world, some of them not
known to us in day-to-day life.
The book contains a list of 9 pages (approx
360 ) of references on Narayana Guru, Budha,
religion, related Kerala History and related
subjects. Quite a collection.
The author Dr Sugathan is known to us here in
Guruforum. For many Keralites he is known through
his extraordinary book "Mozhiyarivu"
(linguistics) and "Heartarivu" (on
Heart and heart attack).
The book is published by Mathrubhumi and is
available at all bookstalls - DC Books, Current
Books, TBS etc . The book can also be ordered
through Mathrubhumi news agents.
