Ishopanishad: Call for Equality and Equilibrium holds up a venerable scripture and views it from an innovative perspective. While the traditional approach to reading and interpreting this poetic work has focused upon a spiritual exploration of its message, author Ranjan Kumar Singh looks at the Ishopanishad from a secular perspective. By virtue of this original path, the author embraces an understanding of equality, not just predating but also prefiguring the notion of equality that emerged more than two millennia later from the works of Thomas More and Karl Marx and found expression in the systems of socialism and communism. Ishopanishad: Call for Equality and Equilibrium explores the connection between socialism and the Ishopanishad, which sketches, maybe for the first time, the outlines of a benevolent state with a classless society of volunteers administered in accordance with their own moral code rooted in the ideals expressed in the scripture. Whether you have made the Ishopanishad the focus of your reflection for some time or find yourself drawn to this topic for the first time, the present book offers a unique and contemporary journey into the heart of the poetic text that is ancient and yet inspiring as it asks us to work tirelessly throughout the life.
