Gandhi, Ramchandra
SITA’S KITCHEN. A Testimony of Faith and Inquiry.
Albany, State University of New York Press , 1992. 1st edition 127 pp. Pb. Exploring the meaning of a Buddhist story, this book is a testimony of faith in the urgent relevance of India's spiritual traditions to the future of life on Earth, and it is an inquiry into the meaning of some central notions of these traditions. In the Introduction, Ramchandra Gandhi raises the Ayodhya issue to international and universal levels. In the text, he offers a solution on the local and national levels. The temple mound in Ayodhya - the sacred hill on which the present Babri Masjid was built, also known as Sita's Kitchen - was originally a sacred place of the Adivasis (the aboriginal inhabitants of the subcontinent). As an aboriginal place sacred to the Mother Goddess, the hill in Ayodhya brings together all religions. near fine condition
