Extricating liberalism from the haze of anti-modernist and anti-European caricature, this book traces the role of liberal philosophy in the building of a new nation. It examines the role of toleration, rights, and mediation in the postcolony. Through the biographies of four Filipino scholar-bureaucrats—Camilo Osias, Salvador Araneta, Carlos P. Romulo, and Salvador P. Lopez—Lisandro E. Claudio argues that liberal thought served as the grammar of Filipino democracy in the 20th century. By looking at various articulations of liberalism in pedagogy, international affairs, economics, and literature, Claudio not only narrates an obscured history of the Philippine state, he also argues for a new liberalism rooted in the postcolonial experience, a timely intervention considering current developments in politics in Southeast Asia.

Nitya Seva, A devotee’s heartbeat by Srila Gopal Krishna Goswami Maharaj, compiled by Hg Cittahari Caitanya Prabhu. In the course of your day-to-day living, you will remember the Supreme Lord and understand the subjects of devotional service. If the Supreme Lord desires, you will be able to return to this place. Then you will again get the opportunity to hear discussions of Hari. The devotees should forget about their miseries by being satisfied to live in whatever situation the Supreme Lord is happy to keep them. Ordinary people cannot understand discussions of the Supreme Lord, talks of Mahäprabhu, and the extraordinary characteristics of the devotees. Simply by awakening the propensity to serve the Lord lying dormant in the heart, one can think of Hari without cessation. Compiled from the lectures of Srila Gopal Krishna Goswami Maharaj

"“Hari-tosanam” means pleasing the Personality of Godhead by Srila Gopala Krishna Goswami Maharaj, compiled by Sarvasakshi Prabhu These words are the part of a famous verse from theSrimad Bhägavatam (1.2.13), where Süta Gosvämi is explaining the ultimate perfection of life. Lord Krishna says in Bhagavad-gitä 15.15, vedaiç ca sarvair aham eva vedyaù - knowing the Vedas means understanding the Supreme Lord. And if a person understands the Supreme Lord, he will undoubtedly take refuge in Him and engage in His devotional service birth after birth. Therefore, the ultimate perfection of life is pleasing the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Every living entity should know that they are the part and parcel of Supreme Personality of Godhead and their ultimate duty is to serve Him. The government—indeed, the entire society—should be structured in such a way that everyone can be trained to satisfy the Supreme Personality of Godhead. But unfortunately, especially in this age, people do not know that the highest goal of human life is to please Lord Vishnu compiled from the lectures of Srila Gopal Krishna Goswami Maharaj."
