PRAYER FASHIONS MAN –
Frithjof Schuon on the Spiritual Life
₨1,150
“In this finely selected anthology the editor takes us to the very heart and soul of Schuon’s message, bringing to light the ‘categorical imperative’ of prayer that underlies the whole corpus of Schuon’s works and without which, those works would remain merely theoretical. To read this book is to feel the irresistible at­traction of prayer, Schuon’s reflections on the spiritual life being suffused with an alchemical power that can arise only from a consciousness rooted in the Object of prayer. What Schuon has experienced he conveys, and in so doing galvanizes our own aspirations for ‘the one thing needful.”

–Reza S Kazemi

“In this superb volume Cutsinger masterfully presents Schuon’s most magisterial passages on the interior life and the soul’s relation to God. His inclusion of previously unpublished letters is a coup that reveals another side of Schuon, a tenderness that places the sage’s adamantine intellectual style in a surprising new light.” – Philip Novak

SURVEY OF METAPHYSICS AND ESOTERISM
Author:
Frithj of Schuon
₨.840
Frithjof Schuon “Once again one reaches for superlatives. This book is not for everyone, for it is metaphysically demanding. But for those who think philosophically it constitutes a kind of Principia Metaphysica, setting forth the principles of being with almost mathematical economy and precision. The author reveals himself again as the most comprehen-sive and architectonic metaphysician of our century.” —Huston Smith
***
“A magnificent book, which exceeds what even this master’s most faithf61 readers have been led to expect. Schuon proves anew, by an even greater compression and irradiation of his Wisdom, how inexhaustibly beautiful is the Truth.” —James S. Cutsinger ***
“The highest praise that I can offer concerning the writings of Frithjof Schuon is that they are worthy of their subject matter—the teachings of the great spiritual traditions. Whether one’s views are supported or challenged by these writings, any serious person will feel grateful to be confronted by such a generously discerning intellect and to witness the emergence of authentic contemplative thought in this darkening time.” —Jacob Needleman

ISLAM AND THE PERENNIAL PHILOSOPHY
This is Frithjof Schuon’s third book on Islam. The opening chapters leave us with a much clearer understanding of the relationship between the great religions and their necessary diversity on the plane of forms. Among particular matters dealt with are certain spiritual and psychological problems relating to the Companions of the Prophet. In this connection, an altogether new light is thrown on the origins of Shi‘ism– a light which, strange to say, may “achieve the impossible” and satisfy both Sunnis and Shi‘ites.

The central section of the book is largely concerned with metaphysical questions, which the past has handed down to us unanswered or badly answered. The author pleads for a general use, in expounding religion, of “arguments of a higher order, intellectual rather than sentimental,” and he himself leads the ways. Particularly striking is his treatment of the age-old stumbling block; how can we explain the existence of evil in the light of the truth that God is both Good and Omnipotent?

The final chapters are on the Afterlife, one of them being in part a commentary on the Qur’anic promise that for each blessed soul there shall be two Paradises– a much neglected doctrine which contains a solution to more than one enigma.

STATIONS OF WISDOM
In this book Schuon deals with a wide range of metaphysical, doctrinal and practical matters, such as, for example, methods of prayer or the discipline of charity. His profound insights into the great religious traditions are in the last chapter united into a picture of the six essential aspects of spiritual wisdom, which he says can be found in every true and complete way. In a time of increasing scepticism or anxious bewilderment and confusion in relation to the realm of the spirit this book will repay thoughtful study. Some readers will find that religious ‘problems’ when related to their appropriate levels will disappear; others that new questions and perceptions will awake. Whatever the religion a man may follow Schuon’s remarkable writings should provide much material for thought and no small measure of spiritual stimulus.

Schuon was considered as one of the very few Europeans qualified to give an authentic interpretation of Oriental doctrines and T. S. Eliot wrote of the first of M. Schuon’s books to appear in English that he had met no more impressive work in the field of the comparative study of Oriental and Occidental Religion.

LOGIC AND TRANSCENDENCE
Author:
Frithjof Schuon
“This work is a veritable hymn to the intellect and of the intellect. It penetrates in unparalleled fashion into the labyrinth of modern philosophical thought to unveil solutions to problems which would seem to be otherwise insoluble. In fact most often Schuon provides solutions for currently debated philosophical problems by demonstrating them to be the results of ill posed questions. He removes the opaqueness and ambiguity of modern rationalism and irrationalism like the morning sun whose very appearance dispels the fog. This work is one of Schuon’s metaphysical masterpieces, and one of the most important philosophical works of this century if philosophy be understood in its traditional sense as the love of wisdom.”

CONCENTRIC CIRCLES- Nurturing Awe and Wonder in Early Learning: A Foundational Approach
CONCENTRIC CIRCLES Nurturing Awe and Wonder in Early Learning: A Foundational Approach Elora Ruth Harder /Muzaffar Iqbal The environment, learning materials, teaching methodologies and specific worldviews of teachers all contribute to the shaping of the conceptual framework in which young learners may spend much of the rest of their lives. Rather than arithmetic, language arts, and science lessons, it is this “molding” of the young learner that is the most important aspect of early childhood education. Once formed, this framework has a profound effect on one’s entire life. It ncit only influences initial ideas about how the physical world surrounding us came into existence, but also informs our inter-personal relations, lifestyles, habits, attitudes toward life and learning, and much deeper processes which affect the spiritual and emotional composition of our beings. In fact, one may say that the years of early childhood education are the most important developmental time in a person’s entire life. Concentric Circles is based on a thematic approach which seamlessly blends the Quednic worldview with pedagogical material, techniques, and tools, and situates the entire process of learning in Islamic intellectual soil. It integrates disciplines and allows teachers at schools and parents at home to draw upon a large body of material from the three realms from which the Qur’an itself draws its material: the cosmos, the nafs, and the human story. Thus restructured, the process of learning becomes transformative through its inseparable and seamless linkage with the Book.Author:
