Description:

An eminent Swiss metaphysician and scholar of oriental languages, Titus Burckhardt (1908-84) devoted his life to the timeless and universal wisdom present in Sufism, Vedanta, Taoism, Platonism and the other great esoteric and sapiential traditions. His book Sacred Art in East and West appeared in German and in French. Its scope is wide, covering Hindu, Christian, Islamic, Buddhist and Far-Eastern sacred art, and the author succeeds in a remarkable way in conveying the distinctive qualities characteristic of each, while at the same time emphasizing their unity of principle. Every sacred art is deeply rooted in the religion in which it originates, and it plays an indispensable part in preserving the character and continuity of the sacred civilization connected with that religion. This, however, does not imply that everything that could be called “religious art” is in fact sacred art properly so called, which is identifiable as such by its style and its methods rather than by its models.

Plants personify the divine — The Rig Veda (X.97) Trees and plants have long been held sacred to communities the world over. In India, we have a whole variety of flora that feature in our myths, our epics, our rituals, our worship and our daily life. There is the pipal, under which the Buddha meditated on the path to enlightenment; the banyan, in whose branches hide spirits; the ashoka, in a grove of which Sita sheltered when she was Ravana’s prisoner; the tulsi, without which no Hindu house is considered complete; the bilva, with whose leaves it is possible to inadvertently worship Shiva. Before temples were constructed, trees were open-air shrines sheltering the deity, and many were symbolic of the Buddha himself. Sacred Plants of India systematically lays out the sociocultural roots of the various plants found in the Indian subcontinent, while also asserting their ecological importance to our survival. Informative, thought-provoking and meticulously researched, this book draws on mythology and botany and the ancient religious traditions of India to assemble a detailed and fascinating account of India’s flora.

DESCRIPTION:

Sahara Group, the second largest employer in India, is embroiled in a legal battle with the regulators. Two of its firms are under a strict directive from the Supreme Court of India to refund all money that it had collected in the form of deposit or debentures to all its depositors within 3 months. Sahara : The Untold Story is a highly illustrated, anecdotal account of the biggest crisis ever for this corporate giant, how it originated in the first place and, years later, how and why they are wrapped up in the same kind conflict once again.

Two of the Sahara group of companies are impeached by the Supreme Court of India with violation of regulatory norms by selling off public debentures and raising money. They are under a deadline of 3 months to refund all the money to their investors. The group has a history of a tussle with the income tax department as well. In 1996, IT charged them to furnish all details pertaining to a list of 100 MLAs, MPs, and eminent dignitaries, who were supposedly depositing mammoth amounts of black money with them. What followed was a string of ultimatums from the IT department to Sahara, and Sahara group forefending their strikes every time with all the possible excuses. What is more intriguing and equally amusing is that such a corporate giant does not have all details of its depositors. There are myriad instances, vividly picturing each and every detail of this debacle, capturing even the subtle nuances of the complicated battle, in this book.

Sahara : The Untold Story is an insight into the powerful corporate giant, revealing some unheard and buried secrets.

DESCRIPTION:

"It is better to be aflame for an instant, rather than smoke away for ages!" This is the injunction given by a brave mother to her defeated warrior son in the ancient epic, the Mahabharata. It is indeed an exhortation to all of us, defeated souls, to live life as it ought to be lived, to be fired by the highest ideals and values which make our lives truly meaningful. Life may be short, but it need not be small! How can we live such a life How can we light up the brilliant flame of true living Dada J P Vaswani shows us the way of inspiration. He tells us to read about the lives of the saints, the great ones of East and West who came to bless all people of all faiths. Even if we are able to imbibe one ideal from one of them and translate it into deeds of daily living, our lives will not be in vain. In this book he tells us about saints, ancient and contemporary, whom he reveres. Here we get to know about the saints from Dada's own unique and loving perspective. He tells us about Vishwamitra and St Francis; Meher Baba and Ba'al Shem Tov; Bhakta Tuladhar and Narsi Mehta. Dada shows us how Joan of Arc and Mahavira, Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and Nandanar can help us to live a life that is truly beautiful.

DESCRIPTION:

God made all men equal, and His divine spark animates every being He created. All men are equal, and yet there are chosen few whom we call 'Men of God'. Why are they special? What makes these men and women the chosen of the Lord? What makes us venerate them as saints, mahatmas and spiritual leaders?

The answer is simple: they become chosen of the Lord because they chose the Lord above all else. They made bhakti, devotion, the foundation of their life. To whichever faith or denomination they belonged, they chose to do good to all. They chose truth, goodness, compassion, simplicity, service and sacrifice - and attained an exalted
status among men.

In the Fourth Volume of this ongoing series, Dada J.P.Vaswani introduces to us a few more of these saintly souls, each one of them are guides and saviours of humanity. Himself a universalist and a great spiritual leader whose religion of love and unity transcends all narrow creeds, Rev. Dada helps us touch the very heart of the mystery,
the great spiritual shakti that these saints represent.

Summary: Thus the aim of the book is so noble as to allow the reader to have the vision of unity in the midst of diversity. Description: The goal and purpose in writing this book is to highlight, in the midst of diversity, the essential unity that seems to be constitutive of such religions that have an orientation that is deeply mystical. Basing himself on the absolutistic metaphysical thought of Kashmir Saivism, the author thereby has attempted to interpret spirituality in such universal terms as would enable one to discover the principle of unity of Being among the spiritualities of all major religions.

About the Book : Sakya or Buddhist Origins by Mrs. Rhys Davids is as relevant today as it was in 1928, the year of its first publication. Time has added to its value. The remarkable progress in the realm of Science has not abated man's yearning for the call of the quest.

As the title implies, its aim is to unravel the genuine message of Gotama, the Buddha, from the accretions in the Pali scriptures, by adopting the techniques of archaeologist. It is divided into two parts. Part one treats of "the discovery, the reconstruction, the rehabilitation of that which, at its birth, was a new and true word from very man to very man, true always and everywhere." Part two tells how this gospel came to be dressed "to suit a monastic set of ideals." An appendix dealing with Pali Pitakas is added.

Over the years, in spite of a large number of books, the horizons of knowledge about Buddhism have remained stationary. This book takes a further step in widening that Knowledge and thus provides an impetus for further research.

About the Author : Mrs. Rhys Davids (27 September 1857 - 26 June 1942), a well-known authority on Buddhism, undertook the difficult task of translating from original Pali a number of Buddhist works which justifiably earned her a place among the foremost scholars of Buddhism. She was a pupil of Prof. T.W. Rhys Davids whom she later married. Besides her translation of the Dhamma-Sangani undertook the translation and interpretation of a number of works on Abhidhamma. As the editor of the Pali Text Society, a number of other works were published under her guidance. She was also the author of a number of books and articles: the more well-known are: Buddhist Psychology, translation of Thera-T
