The most sacred and most ancient book of India, the Rg Veda, evokes his presence in its hymns. Vedic myths, ritual, and even astronomy testify to his existence from the dawn of time. In a lively meditation of Siva-based on original Sanskrit texts, many heretofore not translated-Stella Kramrisch ponders the metaphysics, ontology, and myths of Siva from the Vedas to the Puranas. Who is Siva? the author asks. Who is this god whose being comprises and transcends everything? None of the pairs of opposites, nor the sum of his uncounted names, defines him. From the down of creation, the Wild God, whose ancient name is Rudra, is Consciousness. He is the Great Yogi, the guardian of the absolute. His actions are the themes of the myths in which his nature unfolds. By retelling and interweaving the many myths that continue to convey Siva`s presence as a living god in India today, Professor Kramrisch unfolds the paradoxes in Siva`s nature and thus in the nature of consciousness itself. The magnificent sculptures at Elephanta, illustrated at the end of the book, capture in another medium the presence of the god.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"vendor-unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":12544420446278,"sku":"B1522","price":46.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0020\/8378\/2726\/products\/803cef76f490534b8325b939c6c2b2f7.jpg?v=1571611593"},{"product_id":"indian-sculpture-ancient-classical-and-mediaeval","title":"Indian Sculpture : Ancient, Classical and Mediaeval","description":"The book surveys the structure of Indian sculpture in its relevant aspects.

The Art of Ancient India is the result of the author’s aim to provide such a synthesis. Noted expert Sherman E.

And what we sometimes think of as a modern concern with ecology and alternative medicine is really as old as the traditional medical techniques of the classical West of South Asia. It is to the latter that Francis Zimmermann turns his attention, in a remarkable evocation that combines Sanskrit studies and anthropology. He reconstructs and exposes the linkage between humors, persons, and soils in classical Hindu medicine. His work will interested those involved in the areas of medical anthropology, medical anthropology, medical history, philosophy of science, philosophy of language, and South Asian studies. It will also be valued for the vivid and accurate descriptions it offers of a few basic ideas our time has borrowed from Hindu culture: flower power, vegetarianism, non-violence, and the comic dimensions of the human body. In classical Ayurvedic medicine, a comprehensive view of the whole human person included the patient's humoral integration into the surrounding soil. The Jungle was the most crucial environment, and the Jungle was - and is - the dry land of the Punjab and the Delhi Doab, an open vegetation of thorny shrubs. The polarity of dry lands and wet lands framed not only the whole Ayurvedic materia medica but also the more general conception of a comic physiology governed by Agni (the sun) and Soma (the dispenser of rain). Clearing the land and draining the body were two aspects of one and the same art of managing the transactions of all sorts of vital fluids, saps, juices, savors, and humor. Medicine in the context of thought and practice associated with the Jungle was, and still in modern India, a kind of agriculture.","brand":"vendor-unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":12544424902726,"sku":"B1529","price":23.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0020\/8378\/2726\/products\/e1d8c36893eb1f85dbabab7db1e20d52.jpg?v=1571611593"},{"product_id":"healing-our-hormones-healing-our-lives-medicine-spirituality","title":"Healing Our Hormones Healing Our Lives (Medicine \u0026 Spirituality)","description":"ISBN(Hardbound):  8178223953, 9788178223957\u003cbr\u003eSeries: Medicine \u0026amp; Spirituality\t\u003cbr\u003ePages: xii, 232\t\u003cbr\u003eLanguage: English\t\u003cbr\u003eYear of Pub.: 2013\t\u003cbr\u003eEdition: 1st","brand":"vendor-unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":12544425394246,"sku":"B1536","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0020\/8378\/2726\/products\/d7ea4ce619994cabe3cfab30b3b42a96.jpg?v=1571611593"},{"product_id":"inner-tantric-yoga","title":"Inner Tantric Yoga","description":" Inner Tantric yoga presents the deeper tradition of Tantra, its multidimensional vision of the Divine and its transformative practices of mantra and meditation that take us far beyond the outer models of how Tantra is usually presented today.

When Hoovayya and Ramayya return from their studies in the city to their ancestral home, much has changed, throwing the even tenor of village life out of joint. The entry of Subbamma, the young wife of much-married Chandrayya Gowda into the House of Kanooru, sets in motion an irrevocable chain of events which signify the coming of age of a resolutely traditional society. Acutely conscious of the burden of their education amidst the torpor of manorial life, the brothers are forced to witness the descent into cruelty of Chandrayya Gowda, who breaks old familial ties, and demands an impossible fealty. The petty meanness of the Gowda s old age and the idealistic vitality of youth confront each other when Hoovayya and Ramayya both fall in love with Seethe, their childhood playmate, with disastrous consequences for the manor house of Kanooru. The epic conflicts of a decaying feudal order are seen through a multiplicity of characters, and voices that refuse to be silenced. The first stirrings of change in the lives of the Belas, the highland plantation workers and their labouring women, the proud Shudra landowners, the secretive and predatory Agrahara of the Brahmins, are dramatized by a humane eye sensitive to the slightest nuance. The House of Kanooru is ultimately a moving tribute by one of Kannada s greatest writers to the spirit of modernity. Translated from the Kannada by B.C.

Its importance derives also from its being the foundational text of Yoga, the system which plays a basic role in the culture of India. Indeed a knowledge of this system is necessary to understand the highly varied expressions of Indian culture, including those which, like Buddhism, reject the orthodox Brahminical tradition. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe present book is an attempt of interpretation of the Yogasutras based on some special criteria adopted by the authors: (1) To use the traditional commentaries as auxiliaries, not as guides, with prudence and freedom, (2) To interpret those Sutras, in which Patanjali analyzes real phenomena, as what they actually are: descriptions of facts of experience. To such an end the authors have tried to have a clear idea of the phenomena to which Patanjali refers, and in this task they have found extremely useful the descriptions of their mystical experiences by Yogis of India and Christian mystics. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book includes the Sanskrit text of the Sutras and an English translation by the authors.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"vendor-unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":12544462291014,"sku":"B111","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0020\/8378\/2726\/products\/c387812fa6d8147fcf1ed93614b2cf32.jpg?v=1571611604"},{"product_id":"yogasutra-of-patanjali","title":"Yogasutra of Patanjali","description":"The YOGASUTRA OF PATANJALI constitutes one of the six Darsana of Ancient Indian Philosophy, the sole aim of which is to unravel the mysteries of yoga, give insights into its practices and lead the aspirant from the realisation of the Individual Self to that of the Supreme Self. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book is divided into four Chapters.
