मास्टर शेफ़ संजीव कपूर भारत में पाककला के सर्वोच्च शिखर पर बैठे हैं। इस किताब में संजीव कपूर आपको भारत के सड़कों से होते हुए गली-कूचों के ललचाने और मुँह में पानी लानेवाले सफर पर ले जाएँगे। जहाँ आप अपने देश के स्वादिष्ट स्ट्रीट फूड का मजा ले सकेंगे। आपका यह सफर दिल्ली में किसी चाट के ठेले पर खड़े होकर राजकचौरी का स्वाद लेते हुए शुरू होगा और बंगाल में पुचके का लुत्फ़ उठाते हुए मुम्बई में वड़ा पाव खाते हुए दक्षिण में जाकर मसाला वडा और परोठा कुर्मा का जायका लेते हुए गंगा जमुना ज्यूस, मसाला सोडा और ठंडी कुल्फी फालुदे के साथ खत्म होगा।

Thansen is a legendary symbol of classical Indian music. Heralded as one of the greatest musicians of all times, Tansen was also a pioneer who opened up new avenues in song and composition by breaking down the convention of the traditional jatis and ragas of Hindustani classical music. He was not only a great performer, but also a highly accomplished composer and musicologist. Tansen found great patronage in the Mughal Emperor Akbar, and came to be renowned as one of the “nine game” of his court.

Indian music had no system of notations and therefore there is no way of knowing how musicians performed in the past. Tansen is still a living influence today because of his original composition like Miyan Ki Malhar, Darbari Kanada, Miyan Ki Todi and Dhrupad, which are everlasting in their appeal and are enriched by Tansen’s typical genius.

The legends of Tansen’s ability to start a fire with his rendition of the raga Deepak or to bring down rains with Raga Megh Malhar may not bear scrutiny of science perhaps. But they certainly contain a seed of truth about the immense potentialities of music, it invoked by geniuses like Tansen.

Tantra: The Cult of the Feminine reveals a practical and balanced, modern view of the secret teachings of Tantric yoga. Tantra known in India for several millennia, brings us a different view of life, the world, and oneself which is at once new and archaic, exotic yet very close to the roots of each of us. Being neither a sect nor a religion, it is a yogic discipline that awakens not only the sacredness and magic of the sexual act, but of life itself.

Van Lysebeth discloses the sexual techniques of Tantra that can be used by Western couples to enhance relationships and help open the door to a new kind of enlightenment. He also reveals the wisdom of tantra--the essential belief that our universe is a creation of the physical and spiritual union of the Mala and Female principles, manifested in the human plane as Love. He shows us how the repression of feminine values in our patriarchal civilization is the esoteric cause of many of the modern world`s crises. Tantra affirms that a true understanding of feminine values can bring about much-needed changes in our society. Van Lysebeth`s warmth and insight brings modern readers to new dimensions of feeling and understanding!

A Complex body of religious practices that spread throughout the Hindu, Buddhist, and Jain traditions; a form of spirituality that seemingly combines sexuality, sensual pleasure, and the full range of physical experience with the religious life-Tantra has played a central yet conflicted role in the Western imagination ever since the first "discovery" of Indian religions by European scholars. Always radical, always extremely other, Tantra has proved to be a key factor in the imagining of India. This book offers a critical account of how the phenomenon came to be.

Tracing the complex genealogy of Tantra as a category within the history of religions, Hugh B. Urban reveals how it has been formed through the interply of popular and scholarly imaginations. tantra emerges as a product of mirroring and misrepresentation at work between East and West-a dialectical category born of the ongoing play between Western and Indian minds. Embracing historical detail, textual analysis, popular cultural phenomena, and critical theory, this book shows Tantra as a shifting amalgam of factasies, fears, and wish fulfilment, at once native and other, that strikes at the very heart of our constructions of the exotic Orient and the contemporary West.

Review:

A powerful book demonstrating how the Western study of Hinduism, Indian religious texts, and American popular culture have become related to one another in exceptionally intimate and creative ways. Urban refuses to narrate yet another postcolonial narrative about the evil West, producing instead a subtle and much more accurate reading of the cultural encounter that produced, intentionally or not, a new form of erotic mysticism-Western Tantra." - Jeffrey J. Kripal, author of Kali's Child: The Mystical and the Erotic in the Life and Teachings of Ramakrishna

Tantric Revisionings presents stimulating new perspectives on Hindu and Budhist religion, particularly their Tantric versions, in India, Tibet or in modern Western societies. Geoffrey Samule adopts an historically and textually informed anthropoliogical approach, seeking to locate and undrstand religion in its social and cultural context. The question of the relation between `popular` (folk, domestic, village, monastic) religion and elite (Literary, textual, monastic) religion forms a recurring theme through these studies.
