Inner Traditions (Publisher)
Product Specifications
Book Description
What is the Nature of the social order that unquestionably produced one of the
greatest and longest lasting civilizations known to humankind? Alain Danielou,
distinguished Orientalist, musicologist, and linguist, reveals the foundations
of India's culture and the four aims of human life as they are viewed in the
traditional Hindu society: virtue on a moral plane; success on the material and
social planes; pleasure on a sensual plane; and liberation on a spiritual plane.
Coexistent with these aims are the four stages of life: quest for knowledge,
family life, retreat into the forest, and renunciation.
A four-fold division can be found in all traditional societies throughout
