The manner of aging is a cultural construct and there is a specifically Indian way of aging. That way is shown in this book through the anlyses of key concepts—aging (jara), stages of life (asarama), time (kala), determinate deeds (karma), desire (kama), change (parinama), and rejuvenative force (vaja).The author offers important transcultural insights into the realities of aging, disease, and inevitable death faced by all. The composite Inidan religious tradition provides patterns for shaping the aging experience into a meaningful system of vital social values, ethical principles, and life goals, This analysis of the Indian approach provides significant clues for understanding aging in other cultures.

This book is a revised master's thesis submitted to Concordia University, which is a reprint of the 1984 edition. Divided into six chapters, this book addresses the issue of Sarvodaya raised by a prominent Indian freedom fighter, educator, activist, and the successor of Mahatma Gandhi, Vinoba Bhave. This publication reminds me of Bhave as a successful reformer. This book offers a critical study of Bhave's effort to bring about revolutionary changes in traditional property, polity, and family relations and thereby, establish economic equality and social justice in modern India. For this purpose, it is argued here, that Vinoba made extensive use of the familiar Hindu myths and metaphors. The present study, therefore, also evaluates his relative success as a mythmaker and a transmitter of his cherished ideals and concepts through the medium of myths to his intended audiences.
