                                                  The Illustrated Ramayana

                                                  One dark night, thousands of years ago, when saints and demons roamed the earth, a great and powerful king was born. He was called Ravana, “Loud Wailing,” for the cry of terror he incited in others. On that somber moonless night, blood poured from the heavens and carnivorous animals paced left and right...

                                                  Born on that fearsome night, the ten-headed Ravana grew in size and evil intent. He terrorized gods and humans alike. To end his menace, Lord Vishnu took birth as Prince Rama, the eldest son of King Dasharatha of Ayodhya.

                                                  A Prince in Exile, the first book in The Illustrated Ramayana trilogy, is the adventurous and romantic tale of this Suryavanshi hero. Join Rama and his brothers on their youthful odyssey as they slay blood-thirsty demons and steal the hearts of dainty damsels – all laid out with splendid illustrations.
                                                  Written by Vrinda Sheth & Illustrations by Anna Johansson.

Their voices came up to the Princess on her tower, and she heard the words threaded on their screams like beads on sharp needles: "The dragon, the dragon, the dragon! Open the gates! The dragon is coming! The fiery dragon!" The fire-breathing, winged supernatural beasts are out to create mischief and no one is safe when dragons are on the prowl...

The author draws an amusing picture of an ultra-modern Bengali intellectual whose Oxford education, while giving him a superiority complex, has induced in him a craze for conscious originality which results in a deliberate and frivolous contrariness to all accepted opinion and convention. His aggressive self-complacence, however, receives a shock when as the result of an accidental meeting he falls in love with and wins in return the heart of, a quite different product of modern culture - a highly educated girl of fine sensibility and deep feelings. This love being more or less genuine and different from his previous experience of coquetry, releases his own submerged depth of sincerity, which he finds hard to adjust to the habits of sophistry and pose, practiced so long. In the process he manages to strike a new romantic attitude. The struggle makes of him a curiously pathetic figure -one who is being worked against his grain. The tragedy is understood by the girl, who releases him from his troth and disappears from his life. The last poem which she addresses to her lover gives evidence of the depth of feeling of which she was capable.

                                                                                                  In Krsna-Sandarbha, Srila Jiva Gosvami explicitly endeavors to prove once and for all that Sri Krsna is the original Personality of Godhead, ad all other forms of Godhead are His expansions. In this volume, we also see some quotations from the Sarva-samvadini, which is Jiva Gosvami commentary on his own Sat-sandarbha.

                                                                                                  In the Krsna-sandarbha itself, second-to-last text, the purpose of the book is very succinctly stated: The description of sambandha (the relationship between the individual living entities and the Supreme Personality of Godhead), which was begun in the Tattva-sandarbha, and continued in the Bhagavat-sandarbha ad Paramatma-sandarbha, is now concluded in this Krsna-sandarbha. In the next book (Srimad-bhakti-sandarbha), I shall describe abhidheya (devotional service, or the activities of the relationship between the individual living entities and the Supreme Lord) and in the last book (Priti-sandarbha), I shall describe prayojana (pure love for Krsna, the result of engaging in the activities of devotional service).

                                                                                                  That Sri Krsna is the original Supreme Personality of Godhead (as the sruti-mantra explains: Sri Krsna, accompanied by Srimati Radharani, is the original Supreme Personality of Godhead) has been explained in this Krsna-sandarbha.

                                                                                                  In his purport to the first verse of Srimad-Bhagavatam, Srila Prabhupada has written: Sri Vyasadeva asserts herein that Sri Krsna is the original personality of Godhead, and all others are His direct or indirect plenary portions or portions of the portion. Srila Jiva Gosvami has even more explicitly explained the subject matter in his Krsna-sandarbha.

The first group represents the stories of 'lyric awareness'. As in all poetry, the themes are elemental, such as birth and death, beauty, love and childhood and the treatment often reveals a symbolic dimension added to realistic presentation. The prevailing mood of the second group of stories in this selection is of the 'tears at the heart of things'. These stories are naturally allied to the brief tales of 'lyric awareness' but with a difference. Through his acute understanding of the complex social forces at work, Anand describes an India where tradition clashes with modernity. The range and variety of Anand's short stories are not only in mood, tone and spirit but also in locale, characters and form. The setting ranges from the Punjab (as in the Parrot in the Cage) to Uttar Pradesh (as in the Price of Bananas) and Kashmir (as in Kashmir Idyll). Both the village and the city get almost equal representation. Mulk Raj Anand's stories are a museum of human nature. Among the Indian writers of the short story in English, he has few peers.

It is his last completed novel which brings out the realistic interpretation of Indian village society. This is a story of people, hungry and semi starved, yet hopeful and optimistic in the truest spirit of the age it represent.

These stories were meant to impart worldly wisdom to the dull-witted sons of a king and have since travelled the world, awakening intelligence in readers across centuries. Arthur Ryder, a Professor of Sanskrit at the University of California, translated the Sanskrit original into English in 1925. This re-write of the Ryder translation is aimed at today's busy reader and the original interwoven stories are presented separately. Archaic English prose makes way for modern language. The "Principle" clearly and simply summarizes the wisdom imparted at the end of each story. Arthur Ryder's brilliant introduction and charming verse translations remain untouched. This book is a rare coming together of simple format, rich poetry, practical wisdom and lofty ideals, a vehicle to transmit the simple and timeless truths of the Panchatantra in a concise manner to a modern audience.

Though not necessarily representative of the authors' complete works, the stories have been carefully chosen to showcase their versatility and skill as storytellers. The collection covers an extraordinary range of themes, styles and settings, allowing the reader a glimpse of another world gone by. Yet, these stories seem timeless and the characters in them show the same foibles, fears and hopes as do people in the brave new world of the 21st century.

It tells the much beloved tale of the young bride Scheherazade, who spun enchanting stories to escape death at the hands of her husband, King Shahryar. Scheherazade would begin a new tale each evening but always withhold the ending; a thousand and one nights later, the king found his true love and her life was spared forever. Magical Tales of the Arabian Nights includes timeless favorites such as Aladdin, Sinbad the Sailor, Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves, and even lesser known gems like the whimsical Story of the Three Sisters and the more intricate one of The Three Calendars. The mystical tales of this collection have long contributed to popular imagination, demonstrating that Scheherazades spell remains unbroken even to this day.

In the course of this discussion it is emphatically and repeatedly explained that devotional service to the Lord must be executed under the direction of a bona fide spiritual master. The qualifications of such a spiritual master are discussed at great length and indeed, association with such an advance devotee is explained as the actual cause of engagement in devotional service.

He later came to Navadvipa to study Sanskrit, and, following in the footsteps of Sri Nityananda Prabhu, he circumambulated the entire Navadvipa-dhama. After visiting Navadvipa-dhama he went to Benares to study Sanskrit under Madhusudana Vacaspati, and after finishing his studies in Benares he went to Vrndavana and took shelter of his uncles, Sri Rupa and Sanatana.

These profound and life-enriching sayings of the Prophet have served as one of the main sources of divine guidance and law for Muslims through the ages. This selection helps readers gain or renew their acquaintance with Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) who is undoubtedly one of the most influential figures in history and who serves as a role model for more than one billion Muslims across the world. His sayings represent the Islamic code of conduct governing every Muslim's family, social, political, economic and spiritual life. His instructions have relevance for both individual and collective life. This selection thus stands out as a helpful introduction to both the Prophet and to Islamic beliefs and code of conduct.
