Description

The spectacular Kalamkari painting depicts the family of God Ramchandra, the key figure in the Great Indian Epic Ramayana. Here Lord Ramchandra and His wife Seeta are seated and Laxman, Bharat are standing. Shatrughna (right) and devotee Hanuman (left) are sitting in deep devotion. Kalamkari (meaning pen work) is one of the most popular genres of painting in Indian and in such painting only natural dyes are used. This genre of painting is marked by strong colour pattern and lines.

The Ramayana is the earliest epic poem written in Sanskrit, and is the oldest work of poetry. Its author, Sage Valmiki is known as the ‘Adi Kavi’ or pristine poet.
It is said that the poem flowed form the compassionate heart of Valmiki when he witnessed the sorrow of a female Krauncha bird when the merciless arrow of a hunter killed its mate. This ‘spontaneous overflow of powerful emotion’ saw the creation of a powerful epic that still inspires that soul of India, 2000 years after it was first written.
The Ramayana is such an integral part of our heritage that our apparent diversities are reflected in differing versions written in various languages. The Ramayanas of Kamban, Tulsidas, Kirtivas and Tunchan, are variations of the same theme.
This sublime theme is embodied in the character of Rama and Sita – the highest ideals of ‘men’ and ‘woman’. The idea that God fulfills Himself through the best of men is conveyed through Rama’s life.
This is the sotry of the Ramayana. The story narrated in the following in the pages is based on Ramcharit–Manas of Tulsidasa.

Description

The brass statuette of Rambhakta Hanuman has been chiseled out with greater finesse. The face of this great devotee of Lord Ram is beaming with satisfaction praising his Lord.

Description

The epic battle between Lord Ram and the demon king Ravana comes alive in this beautiful applique work. Lord Ramchandra aided by the monkey force of Hanuman and Sugriv attacked Lanka, the citadel of power of Ravana, who had abducted the wife of Ramchandra thereby inviting death at doorstep. Here both monkey force and the demons are given a vivid depiction. Black, green and water colours are carefully used to give a complete picture of the battle which finally Ravana lost with his death. Appliques are the perfect way to create plain articles of clothing, or make old clothes into something fresh. They can also be used to make personalized gifts like t-shirts, tote bags, or caps for friends or loved ones.

The book contains the role of the Ramacaritamanasa in the lives of Hindi-speaking indentured labourers and their progeny in South Africa; and their perceptions of Sri Rama and the Ramacaritamanasa. The South African Hindus of Hindi-speaking origin cherish the Ramacaritamanasa as scripture, and delve deep into the lake of Sri Rama's Acts to gain solace and guidance. Its role as an agent of religio-cultural continuity amonst Hindi-speaking Hindus clearly indicates its importance in the years to come.

The triumph of wit over might, of brain over brawn, is a recurring theme in literature. Sometimes, as in the fable of David and Goliath, the gigantic Goliath is defeated with a sling and stone. But more often, like with Tenali Raman, it is done with nimble wit.

Tenali Raman was Telugu poet and jester at the court of King Krisnadevaraya of Vijayanagara. He was renowned as the “Birbal of the South” and many stories that have passed into folklore are attributed to him. Some of these are obviously invented to show his ready wit, like the one about his encounter with Goddess Kali.

This story describes the series of events that first bring the poor young lad Ramalingam of Tenali to the court of King Krishnadevaraya.

Description:

Taking cue from the Ulladu Narpadu and its supplement written by Ramana Maharshi, this book reflects on the sage’s philosophy of existence. It is considered as the quintessential scripture of Ramana Maharshi.

"Under whatever name we worship It,It leads us on to knowledge of the nameless,formless Absolute.
Yet to see one's Self in the Absolute,to subside into it and be one with it,this is the true knowledge of the truth."

This is a typical translation by the Author of the Tamil original verse,Ulladu narpadu (Forty Verses of Existence) authored by Sri Ramana Maharshi.Sri Ramana hardly contributed any writings and probably this is the only major work.His Philosophy and Spirituality were more expounded by clearing the doubts of devotees by way of Questions and Answers.

Description:

It is an account of the life and teaching of Sri Ramana Maharshi, which has a special relevance to our age with its dominant mood of wistful reluctant skepticism as Dr S. Radhakrishnan observes.  It also outlines Hinduism based on the Indian scriptures, which is essentially spiritualSri Ramana Gita without ceasing to be rational and ethical.

The author has packed into this small volume all of the essential information relating to the teachings of Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi(1879-1950),the great Indian sage. The life of Sri Ramana Mahrshi fills us us with wonder.As a teenager,hardly seventeen,he realised the self through a spontaneous act of Self-enquiry without any conscious effort on his part,or any trainining imparted by a teacher. He left his home in 1896,came to Arunachala (Tiruvannamalai)where he lived as an all-renouncing sage,in a state of continuous self-absorption for a period of fifty four years until his mahanirvana in 1950. The instructions given by Sri Raman to his early devotees are all portrayed by the author.They have a lasting value.Also included are Paul Brunton's experiences. Sri Maharshi's message is that self-knowledge is not something to be acquired afresh.It is only becoming aware of one's own natural state of Pure Being,through self-enquiry. The spirit of this simple but profound message has been captured by the author in his presentation.

Description:

Ramana has often been described as “an incarnation of Advaita”. The description is an intriguing philosophical oxymoron as the thunderous truth of Advaita boldly declares that no one has ever been born, lived, or died, and yet it is, without doubt, an astonishingly powerful image in conveying the profound affinity that exists between the teachings of Advaita and Ramana. As one passes the philosophically relevant portions of Ramana’s life and teachings through the lens of Advaita, they will be seen to be in perfect accordance with the essence of Advaita’s philosophical teachings. What is all the more astonishing is that Ramana’s teachings emerged spontaneously as the fruit of his sudden Great Awakening and only subsequently, almost by accident, did he learn of the ancient Upanishadic and Advaitic teachings. This book is an attempt to view, to see (have darshan) the life and teachings of Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharsi through the lens of the philosophical system (darshana) known as Advaita Vedanta. Not only does the word darshan mean “being in the presence” of a sage or deity, but it is also the nearest equivalent Sanskrit word for “philosophy”. Darshana, from the Sanskrit root drsh meaning “to see” implies not only vision (which includes insight, intuition, and vision of the truth), but also the instrument of vision (such as viewpoint, world-view, doctrine, philosophical system).
