500 years of innovation from brillant minds

Whose idea was it to have machines that spit money?
Did the inventor of Semtex – the notorious explosive of choice for terrorist groups around the world – regret his discovery?
Where will the world be without GPS?

Many things we take for granted today – the ability to live without fearing the attack of deadly viruses or getting in touch with a loved one who lives in another part of the world with a flick of a button – are the results of the toil and tears of many men and women over the years. Thanks to those brilliant minds and their amazing inventions, the mankind was able to make a giant leap into the modern world we live in today.

World’s Greatest Inventions recounts the 500year saga of innovation that has shaped the world we live in, from the first pocket watch to the latest nanotechnology. Arranged chronologically, each invention is placed in its historical context. Inside these pages you will meet the people involved, and discover their ingenuity and persistence, their triumphs and tragedies.

David Ellyard has a clear and compelling understanding of how new ideas and innovative technology are transforming our present lives and our common future. This comes from a life deeply involved in science, technology and innovation; as a researcher (including a year in Antarctica), teacher, radio and TV broadcaster, successful author and Government policy adviser. He is a great believer in making science relevant, of putting it in a context.

Description:

‘Decoding Karl is akin to understanding electricity: simply cannot be done. Its effects, though, may be felt and described. That’s what you may encounter here in Worry And Be Happy.
It’s the welcome release from needing any release which makes Karl’s display of ‘the audacity of hopelessness’ in this book so enchanting and endearing.
If you believe you have ‘made it spiritually’ it may be worthwhile to test your ‘understanding’ through an encounter with Karl. Honestly though, in such a situation, he is not the kind of guy you would particuiarly enjoy meeting! In the now overcrowded world of sagely Advaita gurus dishing out profound insights into our real nature, Karl stands out as a sore thumb. Like a drunken Kung-Fu master, Karl, in his crazy off-balance style, mocks and punctures the validity of these insights - displaying unshakable balance!
With sparkling and soothing humour, Karl mesmerizingly rips through anything and everything that can be ripped through, to the mixed dismay and wonder of onlookers. And underlining it all is an unmistakable unshakability. In fact, it is this effortless unshakability which manifests through Karl that draws seasoned seekers to him. They flock to him either through resignation or a renewed desire for a breakthrough. Thankfully, once there, neither seems to matter!

The beautiful Gond painting depicts three tribal women worshipping the nag god (snake god) with great reverence and respect. The snake god is a popular deity for the Gond people and he is painted black whereas the three tribal women are painted red, pink and black on acrylic.

The Hindu women devotees all over the country with devotion and respect worship Shivlinga. The painters of Mithila have created one of the finest specimens of artistic excellence in the form of the painting. The painting has reflected the love of the folk artists for colour and trees around which their lives have been surrounded. Two women have been shown pouring milk on the Shivlinga.

Description:

‘Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi and the Holy Hill of Arunachala are the names given to that Ultimate Truth which is beyond all names and forms. The identity of these two forms as the one Ultimate Truth, the Self, leads us to call Bhagavan ‘Arunachala-Ramana’. He realized not only Arunachala, but every being and everything as His own Self. Arunachala-Ramana had no merely localised experience of ‘I’ as the body-mind complex; He realized the ‘I’ as this universal, all-pervading Self.
The name and form of Arunachala-Ramana is the entry door to realization of this universal, all-pervading Self for spiritual seekers. He has appeared as the Guru to guide them on this journey to the ultimate fulfilment of one’s life to realize the Self.
Those who worship the Holy Hill of Arunachala by per-forming Giripradakshina receive blessings to accelerate reaching their goal to merge with that Self into which Arunachala-Ramana has merged. Arunachala-Ramana has said time again that the Holy Hill of Arunachala waits to respond eagerly and tenderly to even the devotee’s weakest yearning to fulfill the Ultimate Goal of Life.
As Arunachala-Ramana said, He has not gone anywhere, but dwells in devotees’ hearts, and is eternally there as the Self.

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.

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.
