The Lord Buddha, the emblem of non-violence and peace, has been shown seated with his legs folded; left hand on his lap, palm upward and the right hand on his shin, palm inward with fingers pointing toward the earth. The posture is called bhumisparsa mudra (Touching the earth). This hand gesture symbolizes his overcoming the last obstacle to enlightenment i.e., self-doubt. Once he overcomes this last obstacle, Lord Buddha attained Nirvana (total salvation). The brass work of Lord Buddha is unique in its treatment. Smoothness and half closed eyes have given the statue a remarkable appearance.

This statue of Buddha is the inspiration to learn and follow the principles propagated by him. In his perseverance to know the cause of sufferings in the world he acquired precious knowledge and become known as Buddha which means “awakened one" or "the enlightened one. This statue of Gautam Buddha reminds a person of his principles that should be followed for a meaningful life.

Description:

Calm Is Greater Than Joy describes how the man of understanding lives his life without the sense of separation (without seeing the manifestation as the face of an enemy). The Sage is in perfect harmony with whatever happens in the manifestation. He is able to use his working mind because the ‘me’ mind, the thinking mind, has merged into the Heart. Here four renowned Masters describe how they are able to live in samsara (in the eye of the storm) in total peace without isolating themselves. Their calm is quite contagious because the mind in them has stopped creating problems; they have no issues either with God or with the society they live in.

Description

Memoir of a four-time cancer survivor LAUREN SEGAL

Cancer: A Love Story is the intimately searing memoir of a four-time cancer survivor. The book breathlessly tracks author Lauren Segal’s journey to come to terms with the untold challenges of facing the dreaded disease. Forced to face her needle phobia, the author leads the reader into her crumbling world as she confronts the terrors of treatment—from debilitating chemo to nuking radiation. Death is her uninvited companion.

But in the midst of her lonely horror, in a quest for deeper meaning, Lauren discovers the unexpected gift of awareness of unanticipated opportunities that cancer presents—to confront her unmasked humanity—her fears, strengths and weaknesses.

“I have come to understand that in the same way that the majestic lotus flower has its roots in murky waters, so too does the emergence of beauty in life sometimes depend on life’s darker events.”

Lauren Segal currently works as a museum curator; her most recent project is curating and designing the new Johannesburg Holocaust and Genocide Centre. She heads up Trace, a research, design and exhibition company. Inspired by her own journey into self-discovery and healing, Lauren is currently studying part-time to become a psychoanalyst.

“What a privilege to read this immensely inspirational and brave story. Lauren’s personality and energy leaps off the page – the mark of a natural and gifted writer.”
—David Cohen, campaigns editor and chief feature writer, London Evening Standard

About the Book
Candipatha, a part of the Markandeya Purana, which is one of the eighteen major Puranas, is its most important segment. Apart from Sridurgasaptasati, which forms the core of Candipatha, there are, preceding and succeeding it, several hymns of equal importance and, in the course of its ritual performance, all these hymns, as an integral totality, have to be recited as indicated in this book.

Candipatha celebrates the Feminine Power, Durga – Sakti – with her innumerable names, across in this sacred text, represents the quintessential woman. She is the source, substratum and ultimate Life Force. All the gods, men, birds, animal, even demons, all the elements, all moving and stationary objects are but Her fragmental particles. The universe is Her playground as well as Her play. At will, She creates, sustains and dissolves it. In Candipatha we see Her in Her full glory, majesty and splendor. As the Mother, She loves and protects Her children and as the invincible Kali, She decimates the forces of evil when they threaten righteousness, peace and Her devotees in the world.

The present publication includes, in addition to Sridurgasaptasati and the other associate hymns, a detailed Introductory Essay, which besides discussing the contents and importance of this work and its symbolism, provides a panoramic view of the Mother worship through the millennia. The four appendices include (i) Names, Adjectives, Incarnations, Epithets, etc., of the Mother Goddess (ii) Weapons mentioned in the text and their functions (iii) Glossary of important terms and (iv) the First-line index of Sanskrit verses, chapter-wise.

The beautiful candle holder depicts six human figures on it. Cast on the dhokra format, the work reveals a deep sense of accomplishment and satisfaction. Meaning "oldest," dhokra is a crafting tradition dating as far back as 2000 B.C. Dhokra art is largely associated with the tribal groups of northern India, including Vindhyas and the Eastern Ghats, Bihar and its surroundings, Orissa, Madhya Pradesh and West Bengal. Myriad images are cast in the dhokra tradition as artisans preserve their millenary culture, custom and belief through the wondrous pieces they create.

The candle stand crafted in the Dhokra technique reveals the smoothness and refine character of this method. Four human figures have been crafted in the stand and the lost wax technique is being applied while crafting the figure. Detailed in the perfection of a handcrafted legacy, the figurine attests to the desire of the dhokra artists to preserve their fine art.

DESCRIPTION: 

‘If you live in the hills of India, it is only a matter of time before you meet a ghost…’Vintage storyteller Ruskin Bond has created some unforgettable characters in his novels and stories, but perhaps the most memorable and unusual among them are the ghosts and spirits he has encountered. These ghosts are not always horrific; they are mysterious and often benevolent, or lonely creatures looking for company among humans.

Here you will find the spirit of a captain from the British army who returns to the town he founded and rues the lack of Irish whisky; a little boy, long dead, who continues to guide passers-by on treacherous mountain routes; a heartbroken young girl of long ago who seduces young men with her song, and another who longs for a family and some friends.Set in the hills and foothills of North India—the perfect haunt for ghosts and spirits—this collection by the master storyteller will leave you spellbound.

The beautiful eyes of the Devi, a local goddess of the Mithila region in Bihar, is being given a nice depiction in the Madhubani painting. Tatoo paintings are quite popular in the Mithila region and a number of animal figures are painted in such paintings. The raw materials used for this painting are papers, satin cloth, fabric cloth, cotton, cloth etc. Mithila paintings, alternately called Madhubani, are a folk tradition kept alive by women in northern Bihar. Together, they draw traditional designs and depict events from epic mythology on the floors and walls of their houses using crushed wet rice and natural colors on handmade paper. From this age old tradition stemmed the practice of drawing Mithila paintings on a canvas of handmade paper or pure mulberry silk fabric, using natural colors and dyes. Brushes, sharpened reeds and pen nibs are used to draw the designs and figurations.
