Description:

Ashtavakra Says: You are not the body which is composed of the five elements. You are that Consciousness which has provided the inert body with the sentience that makes the senses function I regard to their objects. It is sentience which makes the psychosomatic apparatus work as a unit. Anticipating the query from his intelligent disciple, the guru tells him further, You are not the physical organism but Consciousness which works not as someone in charge of the operations of the physical organism but merely as the witness of the operations.

DESCRIPTION:

अश्वत्थामामहाभारत का शापित योद्धा इसे नियति की विडंबना ही कहेंगे कि महाभारत की गाथा का एक अत्यंत महत्वपूर्ण और अमर पात्र होने के बावजूद, अश्वत्थामा सदा उपेक्षित रहा है. पौराणिक साहित्य में अश्वत्थामा सहित और भी लोग हैं, जिन्हें अमर मन जाता है. परंतु जहाँ अन्य लोगों को
अमर होने का 'वरदान' प्राप्त हुआ, वहीँ अश्वत्थामा को अमरता 'शाप' में मिली थी! युद्ध की कथा सदा निर्मम नरसंहार, निर्दोषों की हत्या और दुष्कर्मों की काली स्याही से ही लिखी जाती है. तो फिर महाभारत जैसे महायुद्ध में अश्वत्थामा से ऐसे कौन-से दो अक्षम्य अपराध हो गये थे, जिनके लिए
श्रीकृष्ण ने उसे एकाकी व जर्जर अवस्था में हज़ारों वर्षों तक पृथ्वी पर भटकने का विकट शाप दे डाला? उसके मन में यह प्रश्न उठता है कि श्रीकृष्ण ने इतना कठोर शाप देकर उसके साथ अन्याय किया या फिर इसके पीछे भगवान का कोई दैवी प्रयोजन था? क्या अश्वत्थामा के माध्यम से भगवान कृष्ण
आधुनिक समाज को कोई संदेश देना चाहते थे? अधिकांश जगत अश्वथामा को दुर्योधन कि भांति कुटिल और दुराचारी समझता है. लेखक ने इस उपन्यास में अश्वत्थामा के जीवन के अनछुए पहलुओं को उजागर करते हुए, उस महान योद्धा के दृष्टिकोण से महाभारत की कथा को नए रूप में प्रस्तुत
किया है. साहित्य के कन्धों पर यह ज़िम्मेदारी है कि विस्मृत नायक-नायिकाओं को पुनर्स्थापित करें. 'अश्वत्थामा' इस श्रेणी में एक आवश्यक महनीय प्रयास है. - डॉ. कुमार विश्वास, कवि एवं राजनेताअर्धसत्य, मनुष्य के लिए सदैव सुख का कारण और आत्म-मंथन का विषय रहा है. 'अश्वत्थामा' का पात्र इसी द्वंद्व का प्रतीक है.- सुतपा सिकदार, लेखिका एवं फिल्म निर्माता.

DESCRIPTION: 

Over a hundred years after the Mahabharata War, an ancient power threatens to destroy the new Age of Men, by establishing the Age of Terror of the asuras, long believed to be extinct. the only hurdle in its path is Guru Dronacharya’s son, the mighty but accursed warrior Ashwatthama, who lost all his powers following Lord Krishna’s curse and who unwittingly finds himself drawn into the quest of the lost bow of Lord Rama, the Kodanda. As ghosts of the distant past return to haunt him and the line between friends and enemies blurs, Ashwatthama must fight his inner demons to emerge victorious. He undertakes a perilous journey—across the vast plains of the Ganges, to the snow-capped peaks of the Himavant where the price of failure is a fate worse than death and death is a privilege not granted to Ashwatthama.

DESCRIPTION:

The author here attempts to formulate an Asian Christology in line with the thoughts of Fr. Tissa Balasuriya. Balasuriya was critical to the western, traditional, classical interpretations of Christ that were indifferent and ignorant to the contextual realities of Asia. This scholarly research provides a lucid picture of how Asians respond and interpret Christ in terms of their context.

About the Author

Dr. K.L. Hazra received his M.A., LL.B., and Diploma in French language from the University of Calcutta. He obtained his Ph.D. degree at the University of Peradoniya, Sri Lanka. He was a Commonwealth scholar. He is the author of a number of paper published in the noted journals and periodicals in English and Bengali. He is one of India's leading Indologists. He is a versatile scholar and is quite well-known for his contributions to the field of Buddhism. He is a well-known author of South and South-East Asian History and is one of the most influential thinkers of Buddhist history in India. He is the author of several books.

This is the first comprehensive study of the joint commemorative and victory coins of ancient India Which form a more important source of history than the normal issues. The Introduction discusses the nature and scope of the wok. The book is divided into three sections dealing with the Joint Issues, Commemorative Meda-Iiions, and Victory Medals.A detailed bibliography, an exhaustive index, and sixteen Plates of Photographic illustrations add to the merit of the work.

"The language whose phonology is described in this work is standard Hindi, i.e., the Hindi used in everyday casual speech by educated native speakers in cities such as Varanasi, Lucknow, Delhi etc., which is different from highly Sanskritized Hindi called literary style Hindi and highly Perso-Arabicized Urdu, a native speaker being one who has learnt the language as his first language.

The author’s interest lies in accounting for the Hindi speakers’ competence i.e., providing evidence for the psychological reality of certain sound patterns of Hindi. This study is a mixture of two types of evidence. Some evidence is provided from experimental data and other is from hypercorrection, from children’s mistakes, from native speakers’ reactions to certain forms. The model used is that of generative phonology with modifications suggested throughout.

The work is divided into six chapters. The first chapter deals with the segments of Hindi that need to be recognized as phonemes. Chapter 2 deals with current morpheme structure theory, and some suggested revisions of it. Chapter 3 discusses the 'abstractness’ issue. Chapter 4 gives a detailed account of the initial, medial and final clusters of Hindi, and gives the if-then sequential constraints necessary to account for these. Chapter 5 has two parts, the first discussing the problem of nasalization in Hindi and the second dealing with the issue of homorganic nasals in Hindi. The sixth chapter discusses the o-deletion rule in Hindi."

Description:

The distinguishing feature of all schools of Indian philosophy in general is that these do not remain content with merely enunciating the metaphysical tenets of the particular school, but they also set up the spiritual goal before the seekers, prescribing the modes of spiritual discipline to reach it. Spiritual discipline or Yoga therefore constitutes an inseparable part of the philosophy of every school. This is very true especially in the case of Tantric schools, in which spiritual practices or sadhana kriya dominate. The performance of kriya in the prescribed manner forms an integral part of all texts dealing with Tantra Yoga.
This book opens with an account of the nature, origin and development of Saiva-Sakta Tantras, their classification under different schools, the wealth of literature available belonging to these schools, etc. It also sheds light on the principal metaphysical tenets of Saiva and Sakta Tantras, relevant to the study of Tantra-Yoga. The topics covered in this book are the concepts of divine Grace or saktipata, guru and his different kinds, the process of initiation (diksa) and its varieties, mantra’s nature and place in sadhana kriya, different modes of spiritual discipline, Kundalini Yoga, the highest spiritual goal, etc.
This book attempts to remove the misconceptions widespread in the academic world about the theory and practice of Tantra-Yoga, which have been deliberately kept secret by the practitioners to prevent their misuse by unscrupulous persons.

A birth chart consists of planets, signs, nakshatras, and houses. The interface of these elements indicates the qualities, characteristics and the course of life of an individual. The more we try to learn about these fundamentals the better would we be qualified to decipher a chart. Certain aspects of these fundamentals have been taken up for study in this book. Combustion of planets, their debilitation. their aspects and their role as dispositors have been studied in detail. Drawing on the knowledge available in the classics these issues have been explained in detail in this book. A large number of illustrations drawn from real life have been used to explain and support the statements. In many respects the explanations throw new light on and reveal new facets of these fundamentals. This will aid the astrologer in analysing a chart correctly and in more depth.
