Description:
Atma-Siddhi, a 142 verse philosophical poem, is a dialogue between the master and the pupil, on the subject of the soul and its journey through this world of material manifestations. Written in lyrical and lucid Gujarati, by the great Jain saint, Srimad Rajchandraji, it is as relevant today, as when it was first written more than a hundred years ago. A contemporary of Gandhiji, Srimadji was considered by the Mahatma to be his spiritual mentor. Attaining enlightenment at an unbelievably young age of 32 years, Srimadji, remains, even today, one of those iconic spiritual teachers, who balanced, with ease and grace, the life of a householder with that of a sage.The book is an interpretation that underscores the validity of Srimadji’s work, for young and old, the spiritually and not so spiritually inclined, in a manner that is interesting as well as insightful.

Black and white. Left and right. Believers and infidels. Us and them. The list is endless and should make it painfully obvious: differences between people are inherently dangerous Difference divides; it breeds prejudices, fear and hatred; and sometimes, it kills. This is what Paths to Peace is about: how to avoid the traps of hatred, even if there is no hope of avoiding, removing or convincing those with whom we disagree. No religion or cultural tradition is immune to the poison of fanaticism and hatred. In each and every one of them, however, paths to peace can be found.

Originally, written in Gujarati, it has been translated into English by Dr. Kalindi Randeri, a distinguished educationist in her own right to form a part – a delectable part – of the history of our times. What is most endearing is that the rich flavor of the original is retained in full to captivate the reader which in itself is worthy of applause. To read this memoir is to get a better acquaintance of the politics and history, not to speak of culture of India from of the mid-sixties of the twentieth century onwards.

Description:
The book is a celebration of Krishna… in many ways. It pays tribute to the long, varied and unbroken tradition of Krishna paintings, from the exquisite miniatures of north India to the extravagant Tanjore paintings of the south, enlivening each page with their spiritual euphoria. The book does more. It brings a selection from the rich cornucopia of bhakti (devotional) poetry – verses of singers and saints, poets and philosophers, who have called out, in love and longing, to the incomparable Blue God. Together they make Krishna, a complete sensuous experience. Written in lucid and lyrical language, one idea emerges through the book with clarity – Krishna is relevant, more relevant today, than even when he first walked the earth as man.
