DESCRIPTION:

The history of Sanskrit literature is by itself a fascinating subject in which not only students of language but also the intelligentsia in general find an abiding interest. This prompted the author to undertake the first edition of the book under the title, An Introduction to Classical Sanskrit, in a short compass in 1943. It is indeed a matter of gratification that the edition was exhausted in a rather short time and there has been a persistent demand for a new edition of it. The present edition, however, is not just a reprint of the former; much new matter has been put into it and the whole book has been thoroughly revised and brought up-to-date. The scope of the book has also been suitably widened which will be evident from its rechristening A Concise History of Sanskrit Literature. Thus it will satisfy its users much more than its predecessor. The impetus to the writing of the present work came from the students days of the author at Presidency College, Calcutta. The paucity of suitable text-books on the subject intended for degree and post-graduate students of Indian universities and the difficulties which our students experience in tackling the subject was felt by author himself in college life.

This book contains an elaborate account of all branches of Classical Sanskrit Literature on the basis of literary, epigraphical and numismatical sources. In 23 chapters, each chapter dealing with a particular topic arranged chronologically. Chapter I-V are on the Epics, Puranas, Tantras, Post-Epic and Inscriptional poetry. Chr. VI deals with Early Buddhist works in Sanskrit. Chrs. VII-XII are related to the Court Epics, Drama, Poetry, Historical Writings, Prose and Campu literature. Chrs. XIII-XXI are related to the Court Epics, Drama, Poetry, Historical Writings, Prose and Campu literature. Chrs. XIII-XXI discuss Grammar, Poetics, Dramaturgy, Metrics, Lexicography, Civil and Religious Laws, Politics, Erotics, Medicine, Astronomy, Mathematics and Astrology. Chrs. XXII-XXIII treat miscellaneous sciences as well as Hindu Philosophical thought.

DESCRIPTION:

This book is designed to serve as a foundation for a competency-based course in Advanced Hindi for students of Hindi as a Second Language. It is also appropriate for those generally interested in such aspects of language control as intensive reading of authentic textual materials of literary significance, oral production (involving situational conversation, oral presentation, and simultaneous translation), and structured writing using thematic vocabulary. Such aspects of a competency-based language course as advanced listening comprehension and rapid non-intensive reading can be strengthened with the use of supplementary materials in conjunction with this textbook. Attention drawn in this book to the structural strategies of the more productive constructions and expressions, as well as derivational devices and collocational constraints peculiar to authentic Hindi texts, should also be helpful in enhancing these skills.

The scenic beauty of an Indian village has been vividly portrayed here. Busy life of the rural folks, the women going to workplace, the menfolks are busy with their works all have been accommodated in the painting. Even animals have been given equal importance in the beautiful Warli Painting. An Indian village in remote area is with out any motor vehicle and the painting is a fitting example of the bare truth. ‘Pen work’ as literally translated, Warli paintings are popular in parts of Maharashtra and has a tradition of age-old century. In fact the hustle bustle of a village life is portrayed in a most attractive manner. The bullock carts, the birds atop the trees all have made the scenic beauty of a village life worth watching.

Description:

In this book Ramesh reveals himself as a spiritual Master for the modern age. His insightful commentary unlocks the beauty and the mystery in this ancient text. He points us to the Understanding that is the true nature of us all.

One of the most colourful festivals celebrated by the Bengalees, the artists of Bengal have given Durga Puja a vivrant treatment. Patachitra paintings are one of the most beautiful folk paintings in India and the treatment of vibrant colour and strong lines are the defining features of this form of panting. The painting has depicted the all-powerful Durga killing the demon Mahisasur. The people regaling the spirit of the Puja have also found a colourful treatment in the painting. Indeed a collector’s rare choice. While the puja embodies the spirit of the victory of the good over the evil, it also reminds about the power of the Goddess Durga who was born out of the collective power of all the gods.

Description

A Monk's Light Musing son Life's Serious Stuff

What is the sum total of human life? Are we to keep working towards eternally elusive and expanding goals?

In our continuous effort to be more productive and ever progressive, we tend to lose sight of the beautiful side of existence – its simplicity. A Fistful of Wisdom reminds us that life is playful and it is demanding, but it is also a gift, a precious and priceless blessing. The more we learn to appreciate the beauty in simple things, the easier our survival. This book reminds us to observe and appreciate each passing moment and experience the pure joy of just being here and now.

Bestselling author and mystic Om Swami doles out simple yet profound wisdom about the true meaning of happiness in his characteristic light-hearted way. Inside these pages, you will find a spiritual guru’s lucid solutions to problems and challenges related to modern-day living.

The beautiful image of the Garbha musician has been nicely crafted in the traditional dhokra style revealing some greater level of artistic excellence and sculptural refinement. The tribal artist is shown playing the drum with his both hands. He is also shown wearing nice clothes. The figure has been crafted in the lost wax technique. The figurine attests to the refined excellence of the dhokra artists and their desire to preserve this fine art. 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.
