Description:

Banaras, usually known as a religious and cultural centre, is also famous since antiquity for its textile industry. Banaras textiles and the designs produced there were sold throughout India and exported to many foreign countries. The Buddha was shrouded in a fine Banaras cloth, and kings and queens all over India used to dress with its more exquisite brocades. All foreign visitors to the city commented on this textile art, in which Banaras traditionally excelled.
Textiles of Bananas: Yesterday and Today is the product of a deep research on this textile industry since the distant past up to our times. The book explains in detail the different designs used and their conception, the various types of cloth weaving and the techniques employed (making of the threads, dyeing, stretching the warp, polishing, tools used, etc.), and handicrafts such as embroideries (karchobi, zardozi, etc.). It also studies the socio-economic condition of the artisans.
Illustrated with many colour and black and white pictures showing old and new designs, this book is the more complete book on this subject up to date, and will be invaluable for researchers, designers, and art lovers.

Description

The beautiful resin figure of Lord Buddha is given a refine exquisite treatment with a greater degree of refinement and minute carving. Thai Buddha refers to a statue of Buddha that either resides in, or was created in, the country of Thailand. The Sukhothai period brought forth an interpretation of the Thai Buddha that is elegant, with sinuous bodies and slender, oval faces. This style emphasised the spiritual aspect of the Buddha by omitting anatomical details. The effect was enhanced by the common practice of casting images in metal rather than carving them. This period saw the introduction of the "walking Buddha" pose. Sukhothai artists tried to follow the defining marks of a Buddha set out in ancient Pali texts:

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।

Jaya's life comes apart at the seams when her husband is asked to leave his job while allegations of business malpractice against him are investigated. Her familiar existence disrupted, her husband's reputation in question and their future as a family in jeopardy; Jaya, a failed writer, is haunted by memories of the past. Differences with her husband, frustrations in their seventeen-year-old marriage, disappointment in her two teenage children, the claustrophia of her childhood-all begin to surface. In her small suburban Bombay flat, Jaya grapples with these and other truths about herself-among them her failure at writing and her fear of anger. . . Shashi Deshpande gives us an exceptionally accomplished portrayal of a woman trying to erase a 'long silence' begun in childhood and rooted in herself and in the constraints of her life

DESCRIPTION: 

The Bhakti saint-poet Kabir's sakhis/ dohas (couplets) have been a source of wisdom to people across the spectrums of caste, class and creed. His sakhis are his conversations with God, with himself and with us in everyday colourful tongue that leave a mark on readers of all ages.
Several translations have appeared until now but this book by Chandan Sinha is a first of its kind. In his Foreword, John Stratton Hawley calls this a 'strikingly original book' that translates the sakhis in rhyme—as in the original—which is easy enough 'in Hindi, but it’s very much harder in English.' A short explanation follows each translation.It is a book to turn to every day.

DESCRIPTION:

In the spirit of both Eastern and Western traditions, Dr. David Simon shows how changing our mindset from commandment to personal commitment can help us make the life transformations we want and need. We were raised on the Ten Commandments and unfortunately most of us use the philosophy of "thou shalt not" (eat too much, drink too much, work too hard, etc.) to command ourselves to change. Dr. Simon encourages us to embrace the power of commitment to create a life of greater peace, vitality, love and purpose. Through commitment to loving more openly, embracing abundance, relaxing and being authentic, we can translate our desires into actions that bring about transformation and healing.

DESCRIPTION:

Introduction

The Supreme Personality of Godhead, devotional service and the devotee are all transcendental. The mentality of lording it over material nature is artificial and it obstructs the path toward genuine self-realization. Artificially considering oneself to be the of material nature cannot be the constitutional position of the pure spirit soul. While engaging in material activities after having given up the cultivation of religious principles, people whose hearts are attacked by the three material qualities traverse the paths of karma and jnana. As a result, they experience various bodily and mental miseries, being obserbed in self-centered activities.

The Supreme Lord, Sri Krsna, who is fully transcendental, is served by the pure spirit souls by means of devotional service that is unmotivated and uninterrupted. Until a living entity voluntarily engages his body, mind and speech in the cultivation of Krsna consciousness, he remains unhappy, due to lack of knowledge about his constitutional position and due to engaging in material sense gratification or cultivating knowledge of impersonal Brahman.
