Description:
One of the oldest living religions in the world, with approximately a billion adherents, Hinduism is both a school of thought and a way of life. Drawing from a colossal pool of texts written across the ages – from the Upanishads and the Vedas to the Gita and the Puranas – the religion melds together a range of voices. Yet, given the complexity of its philosophical thrust, the contradictions in its discourse, and the sheer immensity of its bank of wisdom, Hinduism remains a mystery, even to its followers. Hinduism: An Introduction attempts to simplify an undeniably complex belief-system, and shed light on its eternal laws.

Dashavatar is a collection of ten spell-binding stories for children. In each of the narratives, the world is on the brink of collapse, entrenched in vice and sin, when the Lord decides to intervene and rescue it. He takes on a variety of forms, sometimes splendorous, at other times disarmingly humble. From Matsya avatar, where Vishnu assumes the shape of a fish, to Vamana avatar, where he shrinks in size, from Krishna avatar, where he becomes the Blue One, the eternal flutist, to Kalki, the future, where he will ride astride a horse and reinstate justice, each of the stories speaks of the Lord’s benevolence, and the triumph of good over evil.

Description:
Balaji–Venkateshwara: An Introduction attempts to unravel the life of Balaji and study his temple, nestled in the hills of South India. It is said that Lord Vishnu, to rescue a world in distress, took the form of Balaji-Venkateshwara, the destroyer of all sins. Yet, who really was Balaji? What is the legend behind his incarnation? What are the stories behind his temple’s origin? What are the meanings behind the rituals he demands? The book attempts to answer these questions, and more, for the pilgrim-soul.
The Temple of Balaji or Venkateshwara on Tirumala hill above the town of Tirupati in India has become a focal point of contemporary religion attracting crowds of all ages,faiths and Nationaliteis.However,not much is known about the God,except his ability to answer prayers and perform the most improbable miracles.Not many people are aware that the sanctity of the God and the hill is over two thousand years old.What makes the temple so popular,and what are the beliefs of the people,are the questions that this Book has tried to answer.
This Book is a collection of the folk legends about Venkateshwara,the sacred Tirumala hill and it's many lakes and waterfalls,his miracles,and the beutiful rituals and festivals associated with him.He is a manifestation of Vishnu the preserver,and his association with the other incarnations is well documented.
There are rare photographs of the God,his gold and diamond jewellery,the various other bronzes and sculptures contained in the temple and the images of the festivals for which Tirumala has been famous from time immemorial.The illustrations of the stories have been executed in the Tirupati style of drawing.
This Book should be of equal interest to to the layman,the scholar and the devotee,and a valuable addition to every home and library.
