The beautiful image of Lord Ganesha is nicely carved out of soft pink stone from Orissa. The Lord of Learning and the Patron Deity of letters and scriptures, is shown writing the epic Mahabharata attentively with his tusk. When Vyasa wanted to compose the Mahabharata, Brahma suggested Him that Ganesha be his scribe. Vyasa agreed and Ganesha brought his broken tusk as a writing quill. Vyasa dictated the entire epic in verse. Ganesha recorded every word for Gods and men alike. Scholars, both mythical and historical, explain that this is so because, before undertaking to do the work, Ganesha stipulated that the dictation should never falter and that he should, at all times, be able to understand what was being said. Thus, it is not strange that such a conscientious god is propitiated by all and sundry.

DESCRIPTION: 

साफ़ और सीधी बात कहने वाले, जोश मलीहाबादी ने अपनी आत्मकथा उतनी ही साफ़गोई से बयां की है जितने वे खुद थे। 1898 में अविभाजित भारत में मलीहाबाद के यूनाइटिड प्राविन्स में एक साहित्यिक परिवार में उनका जन्म हुआ और नाम रखा गया, शब्बीर हसन खान। जब उन्होंने शायरी करनी शुरू की तो अपना नाम जोश मलीहाबादी रख लिया। जोशीले तो वे थे ही और सोच भी शुरू से ही सत्ता-विरोधी थी। ‘हुस्न और इंकलाब’ नज़्म के बाद उन्हें ‘शायर-ए-इंकलाब’ कहा जाने लगा। 1925 में उस्मानिया विश्वविद्यालय में जब वे काम करते थे, तो उन्होंने हैदराबाद के निज़ाम के खिलाफ़ एक नज़्म कही जिसके चलते उन्हें हैदराबाद छोड़ना पड़ा और उन्होंने कलीम नामक पत्रिका शुरू की जिसमें अंग्रेज़ों के खिलाफ़ लिखते थे। विभाजन के बाद जोश कुछ समय तक भारत में रहे। 1954 में उन्हें भारत सरकार ने पद्मभूषण से सम्मानित किया। लेकिन उर्दू ज़बान के कट्टर समर्थक जोश मलीहाबादी ने महसूस किया कि भारत में उर्दू ज़बान का पहले जैसा दर्जा नहीं रहेगा और इसलिए 1958 में वे पाकिस्तान जा बसे और आखिर तक वहीं रहे। 1982 में 83 साल की उम्र में उनका निधन हुआ। जोश मलीहाबादी की ज़िन्दगी जितनी विवादग्रस्त थी, उतनी ही उनकी यह आत्मकथा चर्चित रही। आज भी जोश मलीहाबादी का नाम ऊँचे दर्जे के शायरों में शुमार है और उनकी नज़्में और शे’र बहुत लोकप्रिय हैं। यही कारण है कि उनकी आत्मकथा को आज भी पाठक पढ़ना चाहते हैं।

Description:

The present edition of Yajurveda with English version of Mahidhara and Uvata's commentary by Griffith has become conspicuous with the salient feature, the old usage of English version has been replaced by the corresponding modern usage in order that the contents of the translation may be easily made out even by a layman. For instance, the old pronominal forms like, thy, thou, thee, thine, etc. have been replaced by the corresponding terms in modern English. The old English usage of verbal forms has also been supplanted with the corresponding usage in modern English.

Particular significance attaches to Yaksas in Indian mythology, religion and art. Their almost universal presence in the earlier Indian religions, Hindu, Buddhist and Jaina, wherein they are invested with peculiar traits and powers, indicates their importance.

Ananda Coomaraswamy's Yaksas is an attempt at bringing together the mass of information from literary and monumental sources about Yaksas and Yaksis, their origin, and development from the conceptual, mythological and iconographical points of view. Coomaraswamy has shown how this non-and pre-Aryan "animistic" concept originated and, in the historical times, dovetailed with the Hindu, Buddhist and Jaina religious systems to the extent that the concept of Yaksattva got closely bound up with the idea of reincarnation.

In the preparation of this monograph, Coomaraswamy has extensively drawn upon the sectarian and semi-secular literature and has shown unmistakable evidences of the Yaksas' once honourable status, their benevolence toward men and the affection felt by men toward them. Coomaraswamy begins by tracing the origin of the word yaksa which is first found in Jaiminiya Brahmana, where it means nothing more than 'a wondrous thing.' In course of time Yaksas and Yaksis are often mentioned and their names are found in the Epics, Buddhist and Jaina works and even in sculpture. In Jaina books Yakkhas are often called Devas, where, as Sasana Devatas they are usually guardian angels. In Buddhist works they are sometimes represented as teachers of good morals and as guardian spirits.

Of equal importance are the Yaksas and Yaksis in early Indian art and in the early examples (Bharhut, Sanci, Gandhara, etc.) they are frequently represented as Atlantes, supporters of buildings and superstructures. The early iconography of Yaksas, again, seems to have formed the foundation of later Hindu and Buddhist iconography. Coomaraswamy has traced a kind of Bhakti cult centering round the worship of Yaksas on the basis of the Yaksa caityas, the offerings to the Yaksas and has tried to show that the facts of Yaksa worship correspond almost exactly with those of other Bhakti religions.

"Coming as it does from the pen of Ananda Coomaraswamy, this brilliant monograph is the acme of scholarship and brilliance and provides a mass of well-documented information. The work is divided into the two parts, an Appendix giving Tale of a Yaksa found in the Divyavadana, alongwith 73 plates.

The huge image of mythological beast Yali is being given a detail as well as refine treatment in the beautiful Kalamkari painting. The Yali is a creature in an Indian legend, with the body of a lion and the trunk and tusks of an elephant. His tail, body as well as the legs are treated with minute detail. The ferocious animal is painted indigo. Its body has some sparkling designs on it. The background of the painting is painted maroon.

Description

The beautiful brass knob depicts Yali in a most accomplished manner. Yali is also known as Vyala or Sarabham or Vidala in Sanskrit. He is a mythical creature seen in many Hindu temples, often sculpted onto the pillars. Yali is a motif in Indian art and it has been widely used in south Indian sculpture. Descriptions of and references to yalis are very old, but they became prominent in south Indian sculpture in the 16th century. Yalis are believed to be more powerful than the lion or tiger or the elephant. In its iconography and image the yali has a catlike graceful body, but the head of a lion with tusks of an elephant (gaja) and tail of a serpent. Sometimes they have been shown standing on the back of a makara, another mythical creature. Yali is found as stone carvings in numerous temples in Tamil Nadu and across South India, including the Kailasanathar Temple, Tharamangalam, Salem district, Tamil Nadu.

Description

What happens when a clone of Yamraj, the Lord of Death, gets emotional and upsets the power structure in Devlok, the realm of Gods?

Yamraj Number 5003 is the story of one of the thousands of cloned Yamrajs in Mrityuloka. The Yamrajs are supposed to carry out their duties like robots, but by some fluke one Yamraj—code-named #5003—has a ‘manufacturing defect’ by which he can think and feel, making him ‘different’. He begins to question the status quo, shaking the very foundation of the power structure in Devlok, making the divine trinity—Brahma, Vishnu and Maheshwar—jittery. What happens when they decide to take action against the erring Yamraj? Woven with humour, this multilayered novel will move the readers as well as entertain them. Originally published in Odia and translated into Assamese, this hugely popular novel is being published in English for the first time.
