DESCRIPTION: 

The India Ruskin Bond loves does not always make headlines. But he finds it wherever he goes in fields or forests, towns or villages, mountains or deserts and in the hearts and minds of the people who have given him love and affection for the better part of a lifetime. Bond is in his element when writing about all that he cares deeply for his adopted family, his friends, his writing, the simple humour of everyday life, The mountains, roads, rivers and small towns which manifests his immense love for nature and people. In this heartfelt collection of poems and essays, Ruskin Bond looks back on his unique relationship with this country and its people from the time he came back, still only a boy, to take up the challenge of being a writer in a swiftly changing India.

इस कहानी का बीज मेरे सामने बोया गया था और आज कहानी फसल बन कर लहलहा रही है, CODE काकोरी को दिल से मुबारकबाद— साजिद नाडियाडवाला काकोरी अस्पताल के वॉर्ड में एक डेड बॉडी पड़ी है, जो पूरी तरह काली पड़ चुकी है। लाश पर सोने-चांदी के ब्रिटिश कॉइंस पड़े हैं। हर सिक्के पर क्वीन विक्टोरिया की तस्वीर छपी है। क़ातिल ने लाश के सीने पर पीतल की थंब पिन से एक ए फोर साइज़ का कागज़ टैग किया है, जिस पर लिखा है—हिंदुस्तान रिपब्लिकन एसोसिएशन। आख़िर क़ातिल का इशारा क्या है? क्यों छोड़े हैं उसने ये सुराग़? पुलिस को क्यों चैलेंज कर रहा है ये क़ातिल? असल में ये वही विक्टोरियन कॉइंस हैं, जो 1925 के ‘काकोरी कांड’ में लूटे गए थे। ये वही हिंदुस्तान रिपब्लिकन एसोसिएशन है जो 1924 में चंद्रशेखर आज़ाद ने बनाई थी। तब मक़सद था ब्रिटिश हुकूमत के ख़िलाफ़ बारूदी जंग छेड़ना, और बारूद उगलने वाले हथियार ख़रीदने के लिये 9 अगस्त 1925 को ट्रेन रोककर काकोरी में ही लूटा गया, अंग्रेज़ों का खज़ाना।मनोज राजन त्रिपाठी के इस उपन्यास में थ्रिल है, सस्पेंस है, एक्शन है, कॉमेडी है, ड्रामा है; कहने का मतलब, एक पूरी फ़िल्म का मज़ा है।

DESCRIPTION: 

"You have done so by your own seeking in your own way,through thought, through meditation, through knowledge, through enlightenment. You have learned nothing through teachings, and so I think, O Illustrious One, that nobody finds salvation through teachings. To nobody, O Illustrious One, can you communicate in words and teachings, what happened to you in the hour of your enlightenment. The teachings of the enlightened Buddha embrace much, they teach much—how to live righteously, how to avoid evil. But there is one thing that this clear, worthy instruction does not contain; it does not contain the secret of what the Illustrious One himself experienced—he alone among hundreds of thousands.".

DESCRIPTION:

This book on Jaino-Buddhist religion places stress on the common factors on the religious life of the Jaina and Buddhists. On comparing the literature of both, the writer has come to the conclusion that coming in close association each sect has either borrowed from the other or both have derived material from a common source. He has shown the similarities between old Jainism and old Buddhism and proved that both were one and the same at their base; that the old Buddhism was nothing but old Jainism and that Gautama Buddha must have preached the same philosophy that was preached by old Buddhism. This is a reprint of the 1932 classic.

DESCRIPTION:

Dharmasastra is not just a corpus of scriptural texts, It is rather a genre, in its own right, of writings comprising prescriptive codes of righteous conduct in different spheres: whether familial, societal, ritualistic, legal, or even political. For the first time, this book offers a quintessentials view of the dharmasastra (smrti) literature. Which today, along with its digests and commentaries, looks like a vast reservoir of literary workds that have been accumulating over the centuries since their legendary beginnings with Manu.

Designed primarily for reference, this Companion is styled and structured to bring forth the dharmasastra-essentials in the quickest time. Listed here, alphabetically, are the major authors with their biographic sketches. And, these besides, the titles, together with descriptive details of their thematic content, dates/probable dates of their composition, published editions and commentaries their upon. Also included here are as many as 12 appendices which, in their totality, embody dharmasastrra-based information on geographi, flora and fauna mixed castes/tribes, neop-smriti schools, and the kind of relation smrti literature has with the Mahabharata, Puranas, and tantra, among other aspects.

Professor Banerji’s book not only tries to show how dharmasastra words are representative of the ancient/medieval political, social and cultural milieus, but is also a painstaking attempt to gauge their influence in conditioning the Indian way of life and psyche. Supported by an extensive glossarial index of smrti literature, it is indisputably a valued companion to the dharmasastraspecialists, Indologists and the scholars of ancient/medieval Indian sociology.

DESCRIPTION:

Munshi Premchand is one of the most important writers of the Hindi-Urdu canon in India. His prolific writing contributed largely to shape the genre of short stories as we know it in India. His range and diversity were limitless as he tackled themes of romance and satire, gender politics and social inequality, with unmatched skill and compassion.
Premchand's wrote prolifically about life in the city in the India of his time . In fact, his fictional corpus, if read uncritically, would lend itself to an easy binary between country life and city life. This collection attempts to break away from the misconceptions to bring to light the nuance in his understanding of city life.

DESCRIPTION:

This book is the second book in the Secrets series written by the author. The first book "Secrets of Bhagawat, Mahabharat and Ramayan" focused mostly on the stories in the Bhagwat and barely touched a few stories from Ramayana. The current book is an attempt to look at the Ramayana holistically and explain all the spiritural secrets hidden in its many many stories. Written in easy to understand format - starts with a short version of each of the stories in Ramayana, followed by a spiritual explanation of the story both in Hindi n English. The Ramayana epic is like a beautiful necklace. It has various precious stones depicting the vividness of human emotions, worldly relations, responsibilities, insights in politics, architecture, astronomy, religion et al. However the thread that brings all these precious stones together as a necklace is a thread of Spirituality. Without understanding the spiritual meaning for which this epic was written, everything becomes irrelavent. This work is an attempt to bring that spirituality to the masses.
