This introductory text points to some of the diverse tapestries of
Hindu worldviews where scriptural revelation, logical
argumentation, embodied affectivity, moral reasoning, and aesthetic
cultivation constitute densely interwoven conceptual threads. It
begins with an exploration of some classical iterations of the
quest for a fundamental ontology amidst the diversities of the
everyday world. This quest is often embedded in both a diagnosis of
the human condition as structured by suffering and a therapy for
recovery from worldly fragmentation. A crucial aspect of this
therapeutic structure is the analysis of the means of knowledge and
the categories of reality, since in order to know the nature of the
world one must proceed along truth-tracking routes. Such dynamic
mind-world encounters are mediated through language, and Hindu
philosophical texts extensively discuss the motif of whether or not
deep reality can be comprehended through linguistic structures.
These philosophical exercises also shape reflections on themes such
as aesthetics, social organization, the meaning of life, and so on.
As Hinduism increasingly migrates to western locations through
practices of yoga, meditation, and mindfulness, and along with
sensibilities relating to vegetarianism, ecology, and pacifism, we
encounter multiple translations of these classical motifs relating
to the self, language, and consciousness.
