Book is undamaged in overall good condition clean with unmarked text and firm secure binding free of inscriptions and stamps however the manufacturing quality of paper and binding is somehow not on par with Western standards: boards are a bit crooked with creases and uneven wrinkly texture; there is also slight wrinkling of pastedowns and some of the pages book is not moisture-damaged. -- "Hitopadesa or 'Good instructions' is famous for its wisdom and is one of the most popular books on ethics and polity from Niti-sastra. Many verses can be traced to the Puranas and Itihasas. It uses the story-within-a-story-format with animals as the main characters. The first book Mitralabha 'Acquisition of Friends' defines the characteristics of real friends and shows the importance of having them. Hitopadesa is an especially helpful tool in decision-making as it teaches one the valuable art of discrimination. During moments of decision fate is written. In movements of indecision and doubt Hitopadesa can illuminate one's intelligence inspire one to face problems as well as help one overcome obstacles on the path o enlightenment." "About 1500 vears ago the King of Iran got a book with the secret of how to raise the dead by means of a rasayana an elixir of life. The book explained how the elixir was extracted from herbs and trees growing on the high mountains of India. Eager to sample this elixir the King sent his chief minister on a quest for the prescribed herbs and trees. In India the minister was well-received and aided by sages he scoured the mountains for the herbs and trees to make the elixir. No mixture they made however could bring the dead back to life. Finally the disappointed minister concluded that the information was false. Greatly distressed about returning empty-handed and disappointing his king the minister asked his hosts what he should do. They led him to a famous philosopher who once searched in vain for the same elixir and in the end discovered hat the elixir was actually a book. The philosopher explained that the story about the elixir was allegorical. The high mountains in the story represented the wise and learned men of lofty intellect; the trees and herbs which are products of the mountains indicated the various writings of those sages; the elixir indicated the wisdom extracted from the sages' writings which revived the dead intelligence and buried thoughts of ignorant materialistic men. Relieved and elated the minister begged a copy of the book from the philosopher translated it and returned to his king. That book we know today as the Pancatantra of Visnu Sarma; it is the basis of the Hitopadesa. As Visnu Sarma is the narrator in both books he was thought the author of Hitopadesa. Study of old hand-written manuscripts reveal however that Narayana Pandit who lived in 14th-century Bengal wrote the book on the request of King Dhavalacandra drawing heavily from Pancatantra. It is common knowledge that beginning students learn more effectively by singing rhymes since this evokes emotions and aids memorization. Though this method is employed today using nursery rhymes these are generally inane and of no practical value. In contrast ancient Vedic teachers taught simple melodious Sanskrit verses. These hold invaluable wisdom which blossomed as the child matured; indeed as the years passed the verses became more meaningful. It should be noted that Sri Narayana Pandita uses a dialectic technique called purva-paksa-presenting a piece of conventional wisdom which is actually detrimental to spiritual progress and is the antithesis to what he wants to establish. After giving the antithesis he systematically refutes it and presents the actual conclusion siddhanta. This method is used in the Srimad-Bhagavatam and other Vedic literatures." from the Introduction <br/> <br/> Jiva Institute hardcover
