DESCRIPTION:

The magnificent monuments of Gulbarga, Bidar and Bijapur in northern Karnataka are manifestations of a vibrant culture that flourished under the rule of the Bahmani and Adil Shahi sultans during the 14th to 17th centuries. The wealth of these rulers derived from the lucrative trade routes that traversed the Deccan plateau, while the splendour of their courts owed much to an open immigration policy by which gifted individuals from other parts of India, as well as from the Middle East and Central Asia, were encouraged to settle.

Though the Bahmanis were supplanted partly by the Adil Shahis at the turn of the 16th century and the latter were annihilated by the Mughal invasion of the Deccan in the 1680s, their capital cities preserve many splendid buildings. These include the imposing fortresses of Gulbarga and Bidar, the grand audience halls and ornate residential apartments in Bidar and Bijapur, the mosques and Sufi shrines in Gulbarga and the beautifully decorated royal tombs on the outskirts of Bidar and Bijapur. For more adventurous travellers there are the abandoned ruins of Firuzabad and the decaying pleasure resort at Kumatgi.All these monuments and sites are described and profusely illustrated in this guidebook, the first ever to be published for this region.

About the Book : This is the first comprehensive survey of the sculpture of the Gupta period in India (4th, 5th and 6th centuries). The Gupta age is the classical period of Indian civilization, still regarded as a golden age, when many of the elements of Indian civilization which have endured to this day assumed their present form. More than 140 examples of Gupta sculpture, in both stone and terracotta, are illustrated. These include well known masterpieces like the Sarnath Buddhas as well as numerous work discovered in the past thirty years before its publication, both Hindu and Jain. Terracottas, in which the Gupta modelers reached heights rarely if ever surpassed and which have been hither-to grossly neglected, are here for the first time given proper attention.

An introduction briefly describes the historical and social background of Gupta art, and its development, and suggests some of its most salient characteristics. While Gupta is remarkably homogeneous in style, the Gupta dominion stretched across the whole of north India, and separate sections are devoted to the various regions. More detailed description of individual pieces, with other relevant information and bibliographical reference, are contained in the notes to the plates.

About the Author : Dr. James C. Harle, who was trained as a historian and a Sanskritist, has been a visitor to India over the past forty years.

Description

Modern-day Gurgaon was Guru Dronacharya’s village, a gift from the Pandavas and Kauravas for training them in military arts. While the legends of the mythical village are woven around the warrior mystic, the Millennium City, as it stands today, owes its rapid growth to globalization, outsourcing and the BPO boom.

From swanky malls and skyscrapers to pot-hole-ridden roads where gleaming Mercs vie for space with rickety rickshaws; from voluptuous North Indian aunties and brawny local men to rotund Bengali mashimas; from designer stores and Starbucks coffee to roadside vans peddling chole bhature; Drona’s village is riddled with contradictions, both hilarious and poignant, irreverent and bittersweet. Gurgaon Diaries is a humorous peek at the workings of this modern-day village and how the Millennium City is a paradox in itself.

DESCRIPTION: 

अगर आपको मेरी कहानियाँ अश्लील या गंदी लगती हैं, तो जिस समाज में आप रह रहे हैं, वह अश्लील और गंदा है। मेरी कहानियाँ तो केवल सच दर्शाती हैं... अक्सर ऐसा कहते थे मंटो जब उन पर अश्लीलता के इल्ज़ाम लगते। बेबाक सच लिखने वाले मंटो बहुत से ऐसे मुद्दों पर भी लिखते जिन्हें उस समय के समाज में बंद दरवाज़ों के पीछे दबा कर, छुपा कर रखा जाता था। सच सामने लाने के साथ, कहानी कहने की अपनी बेमिसाल अदा और उर्दू ज़बान पर बेजोड़ पकड़ ने सआदत हसन मंटो को कहानी का बेताज बादशाह बना दिया। मात्र 43 सालों की ज़िंदगी में उन्होंने 200 से अधिक कहानियाँ, एक उपन्यास, तीन निबन्ध-संग्रह और अनेक नाटक, रेडियो और फ़िल्म पटकथाएँ लिखीं। फ्रेंच और रूसी लेखकों से प्रभावित, वामपंथी सोच वाले मंटो के लेखन में सच्चाई को ऐसे पेश करने की ताकत है जो लंबे अर्से तक पाठक के दिलोदिमाग पर अपनी पकड़ बनाए रखती है। 2012 में पूरे हिन्दुस्तान में मनाई गई मंटो की जन्म-शताब्दी इस बात का सबूत है कि मंटो आज भी अपने पाठकों और प्रशंसकों के लिए ज़िंदा हैं।

When Guru Ramdas chose his youngest son, Arjanmal, to succeed him as the fifth guru of the Sikhs, it created a lot of ill-will in his eldest son, Prithichand. But the choice was nt wrong. Guru Arjan was the very embodiment of love, humility and courage. His greatest sahib and construction of the Har Mandir Sahib in Amritar. He was the first Sikh martyr and by his death inspired his followers to uphold the truth under any pressure.

DESCRIPTION:

Just as Kirtan-Sadhana has been made the special Kali-Yuga Sadhana for quick God-vision, even so herein you have the New Yoga, a Yoga most eminently suitable for this age of doubt and scepticism, pride and egoism. It is Guru-Bhakti Yoga. This Yoga is marvellous. Its power is tremendous. Its efficacy is most unfailing. The true glory
of Guru-Bhakti is indescribable. It is the Yoga par excellence for this age, which makes God appear here before you in flesh and blood and move with you in this very life. The hard Rajasic ego is the arch enemy of the Sadhaka. Guru-Bhakti Yoga is the surest and best Sadhana to destroy arrogance and to dissolve the vicious ego. Just as a particular deadly germ can be annihilated only by a certain specific chemical germicide, even so, to destroy Avidya and Ahankara, this unique Guru Bhakti-Yoga is the peerless specific. They are the gravest ‘Mayacide’ and ‘egocide’. They become quite powerless and no longer afflict the fortunate soul who saturates himself with the spirit of Guru-Bhakti-Yoga. Blessed indeed is the man who earnestly takes to this Yoga; for he will obtain crowning success in all other Yogas. To him will accrue the choicest fruits of perfection in Karma, Bhakti, Dhyana and Jnana.

The qualification for taking to this Yoga is the simple trio of sincerity, faith and obedience. Be sincere in your aspirations for Perfection. Be not vague or half-hearted. Then have perfect faith in the one you have accepted as your Guru. Do not allow even so much as a shadow of doubt to approach you. When once you have reposed
absolute faith in him, then know that what he instructs you is indeed for your highest good. Therefore, obey his word implicitly. Follow his teachings to the letter. Be earnest in doing thus, and take my word: you will attain Perfection; I assure you emphatically.

DESCRIPTION:

Containing the biographies of lord dattatreya, (lord bramha, vishnu and mahesh) and his subsequent incarnations sripada sri vallabha and sri narasimha saraswati, this owkr clarifies several doubts on religious dogmas, rituals and doctrines through a conversation between the master and his disciple

The spectacular marble painting is given a respectable touch with a deep sense of gravity and piety. The bird on his hand is also given a refine touch. Guru Govind Singh was the tenth Guru (religious leader) of Sikhism. Born in Patna, Bihar, he became a Guru at the age of nine years, succeeding his father Guru Tegh Bahadur. He was the leader of the Sikh faith, a warrior, a poet, and a philosopher, all rolled in one. His establishment of the Khalsa is considered as one of the most important events in the history of Sikhism. He fought as many as 20 defensive battles against the Mughals who were ruling from Delhi at that time. Guru Gobind Singh was the last human Sikh Guru; and declared the Guru Granth Sahib, the holy scripture of Sikhism, as the next permanent Sikh Guru. Here his turban, beard, all are given a detail and serious touch.

The Mughal Empire founded in the early 16th century began to disintegrate towards the later years of the 17th century. Two people who hastened its end were shivaji along with his Marathas in the Deccan and Guru Gobind Singh and the Sikhs in northern India.

Guru Gobind Singh's short career was not marked by any spectacular achievement on the battlefield. His chief contribution was to convert a pacifist, passive and fatalist community of Punjabi Sikhs into a militant, aggressive and determined brotherhood of the Khalsa. He gave sikhism its five sacred symbols, including the unshorn hair and beard, which made the Sikh members of the one casteless family - the Singhs. He was the chief proponent of the Dharmayuddha philosophy - war for the sake of righteousness - to which he committed his four sons and his following. Guru Gobind Singh was the last of the ten Gurus and one of the greatest poets of the Punjabi language. The Qualities that distinguish the Sikhs of today can be traced back to the tradition started by Guru Gobind Singh

Description

Guru Nanak, the founder of Sikhism, was born in a critical period of Indian history. On the one hand, people were divided into castes, sects and factions; on the other, the Muslim rulers committed atrocities on the Hindus and the weaker sections of society. The masses in their hardships and miseries cried for saviour. Nanak came as God’s messenger in the common man’s hour of dire need.

It was a period of transition from medievalism to modernism. Men of action and thought explored the world of matter and spirit. Guru Nanak revealed the secret of man’s spiritual potential. Similarly, he accepted life’s struggles and hardships and pioneereda movement of reform in social and religious conduct. He reformed the dregs of society through argument, conviction and personal example. His followers, called ‘sikhs’ formed a group of God-fearing men and women devoted to the service of the people. He laid down simple rules of conduct through which man could lead a humane and meaningful life and find his own fulfillment. Hindus and Muslims revered him alike. His life is an inspiring example of the practice of truth, love and humility.
