Description
The book presents a seven‑volume project that re‑imagines hermeneutics through a decolonial lens rooted in the Global South. It argues that interpretation should be understood as a spiritual sadhana, a disciplined practice of silence, desire, and liberation, rather than a purely intellectual exercise. Drawing on Western thinkers such as Plato, Descartes, Hegel, Heidegger, and Gadamer, the author re‑situates their ideas within Indian metaphysics, Kundalini‑Yoga, Vedic cosmology, and tantric traditions. The volumes explore themes of language as a vibrational field, the primacy of sound (nāda) over text, the ontology of being as a dynamic, sonic reality, and the role of mantra as an ontological act. The work critiques logocentrism, Cartesian dualism, and Kantian subject‑object binaries, proposing instead a hermeneutics of resonance, surrender, and cosmic awakening. It offers a coherent, spiritually grounded framework that seeks to replace Eurocentric models with an Indian‑inspired, planetary hermeneutics.
