This book has been written by a scholar who has occupied himself with the subject of religion for over fifty years. But no finality can be claimed. The reason is that religion deals with what is transcendent, in the sense that it deals with what man is going to be. Advaitism terms this futuristic end as becoming Brahman. However, Bergson and other evolutionists would say that religion is a collective and cooperative effort of men to become gods. This simply means the divinising of man what Aurobindo calls super-mind. The terms gods and supermind are vague and impre-cise. They refer to a state beyond human ills, beyond human infatuation and beyond the befogging of human intellect. One thing is clear that fighting with other human beings in the name of religion is sub-human. As religious men we are fellow-travellers in the direction of the realm of spirit. Here the nomenclature of Hindus, Muslims, Christians, etc., ceases to be meaningful. Hence, the religion of man to which we are looking forward is not so much in the past as it is yet to be. Of course, we have to go very far and we have not made any beginning yet. However, at present the advaitic principle of differenceless Brahman can serve the purpose of harmonizing all religions. Here this principle has been adopted and key-concepts of different religions have been shown to mingle into one another.

The book is really an Introduction to Contemporary Religious Philosophy, and, is a helpful guide to the students. The modern relevance of Advaitism has been given its rightful claim in the book.

This book addresses the welfare gains and costs of accumulating foreign exchange reserves and the implications for the functioning of the global financial system. The tremendous growth of central bank reserves has led to an increased focus on raising returns in addition to the traditional preference central banks have for maintaining liquid portfolios. Issues such as asset and currency diversification, the impact of new accounting rules and the profit distribution agreements with the government are analysed, adding new insights to the current debate on the optimal size of central bank reserves. This book brings together a wide range of experts from central banks, investment banks and the academic community.

Kongres Pancasila IV ini merupakan rangkaian dan kesinambungan dari Kongres Pancasila sebelumnya, yaitu Kongres Pancasila I tgl 1 Juni 2009 di Yogyakarta; Kongres Pancasila II tgl. 1 Juni 2010 di Denpasar; dan Kongres Pancasila III tgl.1 Juni 2011 di Surabaya. Dari tiga kali Kongres Pancasila tersebut telah banyak dihasilkan rumusan-rumusan deklarasi yang sangat berkualitas dan bermakna. Atas dasar hasil-hasil yang telah dicapai dari Kongres Pancasila sebelumnya itu, maka pada Kongres Pancasila IV kali ini dipilih dan ditetapkan tema “Strategi Pelembagaan Nilai-nilai Pancasila dalam Menegakkan Konstitusionalitas Indonesia”. Tema ini dipilih dengan pertimbangan-pertimbangan sebagai berikut: Saat ini tidak ada lembaga khusus pengawal Pancasila. Padahal, diakui atau tidak Pancasila adalah dasar Negara Indonesia. Keadaan ini dinilai jauh lebih buruk jika dibandingkan dengan masa sebelum reformasi. Saat itu, MPR mempunyai berbagai wewenang, dan salah satunya “memelihara” Pancasila. Ketiadaan lembaga khusus pengawal Pancasila itu menyebabkan Pancasila kehilangan dasar legitimasi kenegaraannya. Ketiadaan lembaga khusus pengawal Pancasila, berimplikasi pada tidak adanya mekanisme yang jelas dalam mensosialisasikan Pancasila. Peran tersebut saat ini nampaknya berusaha dimainkan oleh MPR dengan slogan kebanggaannya “4 Pilar Hidup Bernegara” yang mensejajarkan posisi Pancasila dengan NKRI, UUD 1945 dan Bhinneka Tunggal Ika. Terlepas dari ketidaktepatan konsep dasar yang ada dalam slogan itu, kita mengakui bahwa MPR memiliki niat baik untuk membumikan Pancasila. Saat ini tidak ada rambu-rambu pengimplementasian Pancasila yang jelas dan baku. Padahal, rambu-rambu itu mutlak diperlukan agar dapat diperoleh hasil yang optimal. Dengan kata lain, rambu-rambu itu perlu segera diadakan. Mempertimbangkan hal-hal diatas, kiranya perlu ada upaya serius untuk membentuk atau menunjuk lembaga khusus pengawal Pancasila, yang nantinya diberi wewenang, antara lain untuk menyusun rambu-rambu pengimplementasian Pancasila tersebut secara tepat, terstruktur, dinamis dankontekstual.
