The beautiful Kalamkari painting depicts the Lord Shiva (Nataraj Shiva) performing his cosmic dance in a most prolific manner. Nataraja (The King of Dance) is the dancing posture of the Shiva, who performs his divine dance as a part of his divine duties of creation and destruction. The Lord Shiva is shown dancing in a circle of flames, lifting his left leg and balancing over a demon or dwarf (Apasmara) who symbolizes ignorance. It is a well-known sculptural symbol in India and popularly used as a symbol of Indian culture. A specific hand gesture (mudra) is used to hold the drum. It symbolizes sound originating Creation. As the Lord of Dance, Nataraja, Shiva performs the tandava, the dance in which the universe is created, maintained, and resolved. Shiva's long, matted tresses, usually piled up in a knot, loosen during the dance and crash into the heavenly bodies, knocking them off course or destroying them utterly. In his ten different hands, the Lord is holding ten different weapons. He is wearing some beautiful ornaments and drapery.

Description:

It is everyone’s experience that the basis of daily living is facing life from moment to moment, necessarily accepting whatever the moment brings - sometimes pain, sometimes pleasure. The interconnected opposites of pain and pleasure, along with the opposites of every conceivable kind, beginning with male and female, form the very basis of life and living; and, therefore, it is impossible to separate one from the other. What the human being wants is one and not the other - pleasure and not the pain. And this pursuit of one as against the other is the main cause of why religion flourishes, various god-men flourish, promising the impossible and leading to frustration.

The present work contains thirty-three articles of the authors on some unique, interesting and significant coins and sigils which throw flashes of light on various aspects of the history, culture, religion, art, economy, trade and commerce, science and technology of the people of India in different periods of its long history. It is for the first time that minuscule copper punch-marked coins from Vidisha have been brought to light which acquaint us of the local economy during the later half of the first millennium BCE. The uniface cast copper coins collected from eastern Malwa and Khandesh region establish relationship of the area with the Deccan which has yielded similar coins. Coins of the city-state of Hathodaka indicate the role the city-states played in the development of trade and commerce in the Narmada valley during the early centuries before the commencement of the Common Era. The silver and copper coins from Eran-Ujjayin» region indicate the continued use of the white metal and corroborate the popularity of Vaishªavism in central India evidenced earlier by the discovery of an elliptical temple plan and the Garu©a-dhvaja pillar inscription at Vidisha. The indigenous gold coin confirms the use of this valuable metal for indigenous coinage before the Kush¹ªas. Another coin takes back the antiquity of the auspicious Hindu mythological art-motif of cow suckling the calf to circa third-second century BCE. New Mitra and S¹tav¹hana coins add to our existing knowledge by bits while Kalachuri and inscribed Vishªukuª©in type coins betray the existence of the scions of these dynasties or their allies in central India. Indo-Sassanian, Param¹ra and Y¹dava type coins from the region reveal the political developments of the medieval period while a piece with erotic theme tells of the use of a hitherto unknown motif. The darb of Akbar betrays the erring human nature and a coin-die of the emperor confirms the existence of a mint-town. The tetra-lingual silver seal of Nabha bears evidence to the use and popularity of various languages in the Malwa region of Punjab and the secular outlook of its rulers. All the articles thus help us in our understanding of our history in a better way to enlighten our future course.

DESCRIPTION: 

विश्व प्रसिद्ध अर्थशास्त्री अमर्त्य सेन ने अर्थशास्त्र को परंपरागत संकुचित दायरे के बाहर विकासशील देशों की समस्याओं, जैसे गरीबी की आर्थिक और सामाजिक समस्याओं के साथ जोड़ा है। उनकी प्रत्येक नई पुस्तक इसलिए चर्चा का केन्द्र बन जाती है क्योंकि वे अर्थशास्त्री की दृष्टि से सामाजिक समस्याओं पर नये ढंग से विचार करते हैं और नई संभावनाएं बनाते हैं। नोबेल पुरस्कार से सम्मानित अमर्त्य सेन को अपनी इस नई देन के लिए विश्व-भर में सम्मानित किया जा रहा है। इससे पहले भी उन्होंने अपनी पुस्तकों में सामाजिक न्याय पर विशद् चर्चा की है और इसके विभिन्न पक्षों पर विचार किया है। न्याय एक ऐसा आदर्श है जो आज भी जनसाधारण की पहुँच के बाहर है। यह भी विचारणीय है कि वर्तमान न्याय व्यवस्था में जीवन-मूल्यों की रक्षा और वृद्धि कहाँ तक हो पाती है। इस महत्त्वपूर्ण पुस्तक में विद्वान् लेखक ने न्याय की विभिन्न परिभाषाओं-परिकल्पनाओं पर गंभीरता से विचार किया है और उनके मत में न्याय को अभी तक ठीक दिशा नहीं मिल पाई है। संसार के प्रसिद्ध विचारकों रूसो, कांट, लाक, हाब्स ने अपने-अपने समय में इस विषय पर विचार किया है और वे तत्कालीन नीतिकारों के विचारों से प्रभावित रहे हैं। इस पुस्तक में न्याय, विशेषकर सामाजिक न्याय के स्वरूप को परिभाषित करने का, विभिन्न दृष्टिकोणों से उसे परखने का प्रयत्न किया गया है। एक अत्यंत महत्त्वपूर्ण पुस्तक जो नई सोच के साथ न्याय की व्यवस्था के सभी पक्षों पर मौलिक विचार प्रस्तुत करती है। समीक्षकों की दृष्टि में यह पुस्तक इस संसार में अन्याय के विरुद्ध सार्थक आवाज़ उठाती है और न्याय की नई व्यवस्था की रूपरेखा प्रस्तुत करती है।

Description

The Warli painting depicts the serene beauty of an Indian village in a most artistic manner. The long chain of human figures has been painted using natural dyes to give the painting an attractive look. Whereas some people are busy in the paddy fields, some others are working in the kitchen. Yet other people are busy chatting with each other and others are pulling the bullock carts. Village life is full of revelry and merriment and the painting has been a testimony of that gaiety.

DESCRIPTION:

There are not many books on gems. The author, in this book has done a yeoman service both to the gems and to their wearers. Gems are bestowed with divine powers. They can perform miracles if worn in a proper way. This book provides you accurate knowledge about the use of right stone at suspicious time in a right way. The learned author has given details about composition, constituents, chemical properties and medicinal use of gems in this small but very useful book. Herein you will get information about precious, semi precious and inexpensive gems, their sources and formation, their correspondence with planets, their powers to protect from malignant influences of planets and warning about coming danger. In this book you will get very useful information about artificial gems and test of genuine gems. It is equally useful for gem-wearers, astrologers and those who deal in gems. The love of precious stones is deeply implanted in the human heart and the cause of this must be sought not only in their colouring and brilliancy but also in their durability. The sheen and colouration of precious stones are the same today as they were thousands of years ago and will be for thousand of years to come. In a world of change the permanence has a charm of its own that was early appreciated. The influence exerted by precious stones was assumed in medieval times without question. Auto suggestion may also afford an explanation that is mysterious in the effects attributed to precious stones, for if the wearer be firmly convinced that the gem he is wearing produces certain results, this conviction will impress itself upon his thought and hence upon his very organism. He will really experience the influence, and the effects will manifest themselves just as powerfully as though they were caused by vibrations or emanations from the material body of the stones.
