Both, attack all kinds of determinism and totalitarianism. While postmodern thinkers like Bataille, Foucault, Derrida, Lyotard, Deleuze, Guattari, Boudieu, Rorty, Geertz, Irigaray have, through their works, attacked the epistemic rationalist enterprise of the West that eliminates the difference of the Other\/Subject. The main challenge before the postmodernism was to liberate the subject and the human beings from all types of Oedipal. The Sikh Gurus, although their texts were written in a different period in which the sultan\/emperor was the central governing figure, evolved the concept of Sahaja to liberate the individuals from the Oedipal or the despotic ruler. To counter the territorializing strategies of then dominant classes, the Gurus established a God who is creative, libidinal and wonderous, is not a rational sign. The Gurus’ collective effort was not only transforming individual psyche, but transforming a cultural psyche from repression to celebrative of other’s difference. For this the Guru used multiple strategies. This work traces the central themes of postmodernism and Sikhism: liberation of humankind and living in co-existential\/sahaja of others difference.","brand":"ramblingsofasikh","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37045410496676,"sku":"","price":12.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0512\/0570\/1796\/files\/sikhism-and-postmodern-thought-by-gurbhagat-singh-9190046.jpg?v=1756601446"},{"product_id":"bhai-jaita-s-sri-gur-katha-by-neeti-singh","title":"Bhai Jaita’s Sri Gur Katha by Neeti Singh","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBhai Jaita’s Sri Gur Katha\u003c\/em\u003e by Neeti Singh is a Sikh spirituality book.

A foreword by Professor Raj Kumar Hans constructs an informed and scholarly framework around the text, in terms of Sikh history, ideology and dalit Dynamics, then and now. An introduction by the translator speaks of the scholarship potential the Katha holds as a source text for historians, anthropologists, social scientists and researchers in religious and literary studies. In the larger context of Gurbani and Bhakti poetics, the Srl Gur Katha emerges as a text furnished by local and transnational poetic traditions which in turn were influenced by the dust-storms of religious confluence and conflict. Of this, the Katha text is both an expression and an extension; as on the one hand it subsumes and shifts stylistic and substantial boundaries and, on the other, culls new strategies and dynamics into the poetics of mystic and militant verse writings in Punjabi.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can check out my book review on this book, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/posts\/43263260\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Hardback\u003cbr\u003e- ISBN:\u003cspan class=\"author-bold\"\u003e 81-7205-543-9\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e- Edition(s):\u003cspan class=\"author-bold\"\u003e Aug-2015 1st\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e- Pages:\u003cspan class=\"author-bold\"\u003e 143\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ramblingsofasikh","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37045434417316,"sku":"","price":10.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0512\/0570\/1796\/files\/bhai-jaitas-sri-gur-katha-by-neeti-singh-3644729.jpg?v=1756601045"},{"product_id":"sri-dasam-granth-sahib-questions-answers-by-g-s-mann-and-kamalroop-singh","title":"Sri Dasam Granth Sahib: Questions \u0026 Answers by G.S.

Its fifty-seven beautiful iconotexts narrate the life of the first Sikh Guru from his first day at school to his final moments. The talented artist Alam Chand Raj illustrates Guru Nanak’s sensuous feel for the all-inclusive Divine, his interior and exterior journeys, his manifold inter-faith conversations, his environmental aesthetics, and his marvelous actions. In the language of vibrant colours Guru Nanak’s transcendent materiality and world-affirming existentiality are exquisitely written out. The stylistic infusions of Punjabi art, Chaurapanchasika style and folk-art style of the Rajasthani Malwa School bring the historical Guru close to the viewer.

Additionally, the book looks at how these concepts address broader themes such as the body, health and well-being, creation and cosmology, death and rebirth, the nature of action and intention, bioethics and, a theme that undergirds every chapter, spirituality.

Through a case study of Sikhism, he launches an extended critique of religion as a cultural universal.

In turn, Sikhs began to define themselves as a \"nation\" and a \"world religion\" that was separate from, but parallel to, the rise of the Indian state and global Hinduism. Rather than investigate these processes in isolation from Europe, Mandair shifts the focus closer to the political history of ideas, thereby recovering part of Europe's repressed colonial memory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMandair rethinks the intersection of religion and the secular in discourses such as history of religions, postcolonial theory, and recent continental philosophy. Though seemingly unconnected, these discourses are shown to be linked to a philosophy of \"generalized translation\" that emerged as a key conceptual matrix in the colonial encounter between India and the West. In this riveting study, Mandair demonstrates how this philosophy of translation continues to influence the repetitions of religion and identity politics in the lives of South Asians, and the way the academy, state, and media have analyzed such phenomena.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ramblingsofasikh","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50834584993956,"sku":"","price":26.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0512\/0570\/1796\/files\/religion-and-the-specter-of-the-west-by-arvind-pal-s-mandair-2588814.jpg?v=1756600402"},{"product_id":"the-granth-of-guru-gobind-singh-essays-lectures-and-translations-copy","title":"Guru Gobind Singh Scholarly Bundle: The Granth of Guru Gobind, Master of the White Hawk and The Road To Empire","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eGuru Gobind Singh Scholarly Bundle: The Granth of Guru Gobind, Master of the White Hawk and The Road To Empire\u003c\/em\u003e by Dr. Kamalroop Singh is a book bundle book.
