DESCRIPTION: 

The India Ruskin Bond loves does not always make headlines. But he finds it wherever he goes in fields or forests, towns or villages, mountains or deserts and in the hearts and minds of the people who have given him love and affection for the better part of a lifetime. Bond is in his element when writing about all that he cares deeply for his adopted family, his friends, his writing, the simple humour of everyday life, The mountains, roads, rivers and small towns which manifests his immense love for nature and people. In this heartfelt collection of poems and essays, Ruskin Bond looks back on his unique relationship with this country and its people from the time he came back, still only a boy, to take up the challenge of being a writer in a swiftly changing India.

From the Jacket:

Amazing it appears, yet it is true. In every period of its long history, two types of geniuses have flourished in India: one was concerned with man's existence and the other tried to make his existence comfortable, at times even enviable. This book The Indian Craftsman, by Ananda K. Coomaraswamy is a study of the second type of genius, the Indian craftsman.

The author has treated his subject from three points of view: the village, the town and the palace or temple, i.e. where the craftsman lived, worked and had their patrons. He has also minutely examined how the caste system, religion and the guild set up standards of quality and enforced their strict adherence. He has devoted an entire chapter to throw light on the system of education and training that ensured and regulated the right number of craftsmen for every craft at a particular period so that at no period there was neither a surplus nor a deficit of craftsmen.

Ten appendices add further information from different angles. This book is indeed a welcome resurrection at this particular time; for the traditional craftsmen are disappearing. The philosophy that sustained them through vicissitudes seems no longer valid. All those who have a love for Indian crafts and who want to either practise or preserve them will find this an excellent book.

The tall and standing figure of Lord Vishnu, the preserver of the universe and one of the Trinity Gods in Hinduism, the other two being Lord Brahma and Lord Shiva, is nice crafted out of brass. The figure is being minutely executed with a deeper sense of accomplishment. Whereas the lower part of the figure is beautifully adorned the upper part is left unadorned. It is said that Lord Vishnu comes to the world in ten different incarnations to rescue His disciples from the impending catastrophe.

The Warli tribes are the inhabitants of Maharashtra and live in hamlets of thatched mud-huts. These huts are constructed around a central cell as is painted in the piece. The painting has shown the festive season for the tribes who decorate their homes during this period with much enthusiasm. The houses have been painted beautifully. Their beliefs, superstitions all get reflected in the beautiful piece of work. They use simple folk symbols drawn with bold, easy strokes and uncluttered with none but the most minimal colors since none is needed to draw attention to their message. The tribal people have been depicted busy with their daily works.

Description

Private Passion and Perennial Wisdom

J. Krishnamurti was a revolutionary in the deepest sense of that word.

To the world at large, he was a renowned philosopher, orator, author and educator, whom the theosophists regarded as World Teacher – a messianic figure who would bring about world enlightenment.

But who was he in his private life?

Krishnamurti broke away from the Theosophical Society in 1929 declaring the need for complete spiritual freedom through self-awareness. To further his cause around the globe, he established the Krishnamurti Foundation. For over 60 years, he publicly shunned belief systems and presuppositions of any sort. However, evidence suggests that his life was saturated with the esoteric, with frequent episodes of hallucinations and out-of-body experiences.

Krishnamurti’s personal life is a strange and sublime story, not the least because most of it was kept secret for more than five decades. The Inner Life of Krishnamurti is the ripened fruit of author Aryel Sanat’s 30-plus years of meticulous research into the life and works of the enigmatic truth-seeker.
