DESCRIPTION:
यह उपन्यास अठारहवीं शताब्दी के प्रारम्भिक दौर में उत्तर भारत की राजनीति में जबरदस्त हलचल मचा देने वाली बेगम समरू के रहस्य और रोमांच से भरे जीवन पर आधारित है। जब औरतें पर्दे से बाहर नहीं निकलती थीं, कोठे पर मुजरा करने वाली समरू ने एक यूरोपीय सेनानी को अपना दीवाना बनाकर शादी कर ली। समरू ने पति के साथ अपनी एक छोटी सी सेना खड़ी कर ली और बड़े-बड़े सूरमाओं को अपनी बहादुरी और रणकौशल से धूल चटा कर मेरठ के समीप सरदाना की गद्दी पर जा बैठी। सिर पर पगड़ी बांधे, घोड़े पर सवार होकर सेना का नेतृत्व करती वीरांगना...कल्पना कीजिए उस आश्चर्यचकित कर देने वाले दृश्य की!

DESCRIPTION:
1919 में प्रकाशित उपन्यास सेवासदन मूलतः उर्दू में लिखा गया था और इसका नाम था, बाज़ारे-हुस्न। इससे पहले मुंशी पे्रमचन्द ने लघु उपन्यास ही लिखे थे और यह उनका पहला महत्त्वपूर्ण उपन्यास था। इसकी कहानी बीसवीं सदी में वाराणसी की पृष्ठभूमि पर केन्द्रित है जहाँ नायिका सुमन अपने पति के साथ रहती है। प्रेम के अभाव में उनका दाम्पत्य जीवन सुखद नहीं था। दुखी और उदास सुमन इतनी मायूस हो जाती है कि पथ-भ्रष्ट होकर बनारस के एक कोठे पर पहुँच जाती है। फिर कहानी कुछ ऐसा मोड़ लेती है कि वह कोठे को छोड़ एक अनाथालय का रुख करती है और उनकी सेवा में अपना सम्पूर्ण जीवन समर्पित कर देती है। अन्य कई उपन्यासों की तरह प्रेमचंद का यह उपन्यास भी स्त्री-केन्द्रित है जिसमें सुमन के किरदार के माध्यम से प्रेमचंद ने उस समय के समाज पर व्यंग्यात्मक प्रहार किया है।

About the Book:
Vasubandhu, one of the most famous Mahayana Buddhist Philosophers, wrote works on a vast variety of subjects. This collection of translations includes the Vada-Vidhi, a work on logic; the Panca-skandhaka-prakarana, which deals with the 'aggregates' making up 'personality'; the Karmasiddhi-prakarana, which in explaining psychic continuity, also attacks many features of earlier Buddhist Psychology; the famous Vimsatika and Trimsika, which take Buddhist psychology into hitherto unexplored areas; the Madhyanta-Vibhaga-bhasya, one of the most profound books for Mahayana realization; and the Tri-svabhava-nirdesa which shows a way for ridding consciousness of ensnaring mental constructions. A glossary of key words is included, as are the texts of those works which survive in Sanskrit. Each translation is prefaced by an explanatory introduction and is followed by notes. These include also references to other Indian philosophical systems and occasional comparisons with modern Western psychology systems, particularly where the latter seem inadequate in comparison with Vasubandhu's Yogacara.

DESCRIPTION:
भारत की एकमात्र महिला प्रधानमन्त्री रहीं इन्दिरा गाँधी के जीवन पर आधारित है लेखक राजेन्द्र मोहन भटनागर की यह पुस्तक। यह इन्दिरा गाँधी की 67 सालों की उथल-पुथल भरी, घटनापूर्ण ज़िन्दगी की गाथा है जो इस बात पर प्रकाश डालती है कि एक संकोची, एकान्त पसन्द, गुमसुम रहने वाली लड़की में ऐसी कौन सी विलक्षणताएँ थीं जिनके कारण वह दो बार देश की प्रधानमन्त्री चुनी गयीं। बैंकों के राष्ट्रीयकरण, बांग्लादेश के जन्म, एमरजेंसी, और ब्लू-स्टार ऑपरेशन जैसे ऐतिहासिक निर्णयों से जहाँ इन्दिरा गाँधी की छवि एक दबंग, निष्ठुर नेता की थी वहीं अपने व्यक्तिगत जीवन में वह संवेदनशील, कला और संस्कृति की परख रखने वाली, ज़िन्दगी की हर छोटी-से-छोटी बात पर ध्यान देनेवाली महिला और ममतामयी माँ थीं। उनके जीवन के इन सभी पहलुओं को एक साथ बुनकर लेखक ने एक रोचक और पठनीय जीवनी का सृजन किया है। राजस्थान साहित्य अकादमी के सर्वोच्च सम्मान ‘मीरा पुरस्कार’ और ‘विशिष्ट साहित्यकार सम्मान’ आदि पुरस्कारों से सम्मानित राजेन्द्र मोहन भटनागर अपने ऐतिहासिक उपन्यासों के लिए विशेष रूप से जाने जाते हैं। युगपुरुष अंबेडकर, विवेकानन्द, सरदार, दलित संत, गौरांग और कुली बैरिस्टर उनकी कुछ लोकप्रिय रचनाएँ हैं।

Description:
Shaivism encompasses all aspects of religion: a philosophy, a theology, a conception of the universe, a current of devotion, a world of myths, elaborate rituals in organized temples, expressions in plastic arts, in poetry, music, dance. Images of Shiva of great variety and impressive beauty are countless all over India. To improve our understanding of such a rich and elevated subject, the sources are the Sanskrit texts of Epics, Puranas and Agamas. The present book gives a clear presentation of Shavism through a survey and an erudite reading of this vast literature. The Agamas are the key to the knowledge of temple organization and rituals, the description of which is a unique and original contribution of this work.
This very readable and reliable work contains an amazing quantity of information, carefully referenced at every step, and is likely to be of the greatest utility to researchers in history of religion, medieval to modern, as well as to the general reader interested in Shaivism.
About Author:
Pandit N. Ramachandra Bhatt has devoted his whole life to research and bring to light Shaivagama literature. His view of Shaivism is thus based on the ancient tradition of ritualistic performance and literary composition, founded on his advanced erudition, intelligently directed, rooted in his own experience of religious practice as a brahmana follower of the faith. This is Shaivism seen from outside and inside, a picture representing authentically the knowledge and the religious fcelinas of millions of worshippers in this modern world.

DESCRIPTION:
Ashapurna Debi gazed into the heart of the domestic life of the Indian woman as no other writer in the world has done. In one story after another, numbering into thousands by the time she was done, she examined the imprisonment of the women within their homes and their responses to the power play, pressures and hypocrisies lying beneath the surface of the apparent solidity of the middle-class urban family. Nobody has written as relentlessly, with as much insight and yet with as light a touch, of the darkness of both the interior and the behavioural life within the four walls of the home. Over more than 70 years of a writing career, she created an extraordinary oeuvre, whose depths will be mined for generations.Twenty-one of Ashapurna Debi’s most shocking stories, cherry-picked from over a thousand, have been brought together in this collection. Each of them unravels an unexpected, even dreadful, side to the personalities of the women who feature in them. In every story, a deceptively quiet but potentially explosive act of revolt takes place – or comes close to taking place. Far from the sweet and submissive stereotype of wife/mother/daughter/woman of the house that familial structures have enforced, it is the rebellious side of the woman, often forced to emerge through cruelty, viciousness and even hatred, that stands revealed. these are scandalous stories, each one of them.

DESCRIPTION:
The story of a profound and beautiful guru-shishya relationship In the impoverished village of Rikhia, a forgotten corner of northern India, its primarily aboriginal Santali population subsisted without electricity, water, roads, or sanitation. Malnutrition, disease and illness were par for the course of their collective lives. Until. . . Today, there has been a 360-degree transformation in this community. You can see well-fed toddlers playing on quiet roadsides, calling out 'Namo Narayan!' to passers-by, older children cycling to well-attended schools, and everyone busy in a productive and positive way. How did that come about? That is the story Barbara Pidgeon tellsus and, in doing so, reveals the extraordinary lives of the two people, the principal architects of this change and their relationship to one another. One of them, the guru, Swami Satyananada, a stalwart of yogic philosophy, founder of the Bihar School of Yoga, and the other, his disciple, Swami Satyasangananda, one of the few women
sannyasins. This book gives an insight into both these deeply spiritual and extraordinary people from whose lives we have many lessons to learn.
About the Author
Barbara Pidgeon grew up in Scotland but has spent much of her adult life in several countries around the world. As an expatriate worker she always endeavoured to understand the diverse cultures she felt privileged to work and live amongst and would seek firsthand experience in their cultural and spiritual practices. Her many enriching experiences over the years led her to a rural spot in Jharkand, India where she met her guru Swami Swami Satyasangananda Saraswati who s story she had the great honour to write about in this book.
Currently, she lives in London researching how humans breathe, a topic that she finds incredulous that we know so little of and one that will be the subject of her next book.

DESCRIPTION:
The No. 1 New York Times bestseller, The Power of Now is a guide to spiritual enlightenment from a man who is emerging as one of this generation’s clearest, most inspiring teachers. Eckhart Tolle is not aligned with any particular religion but does what all the great masters have done: shows that the way, the truth, and the light already exist within each human being. There is no need to look elsewhere. During February March 2002, Eckhart traveled to India to enlighten people on the spiritual path through a series of talks in Chennai and Mumbai, and an eight day Spiritual Retreat held in Rishikesh. The Indian edition of The Power of Now, already in its twentieth reprint, has sold over two million copies. The Gujarati translation of this book will spread his teaching to an even wider audience. At the heart of this book, which has already been translated into almost all the major languages of the world, is Eckhart’s own story of early despair that culminated in a life transforming experience of enlightenment at the age of twenty nine. He emerged to share insights on the perils of the mind, the power of the present, and the accessibility of one’s true nature.
About the Book:
Shakti: Power in the Conceptual Structure of Karimpur Religion adds to the growing literature about the village Karimpur, first made famous by William and Charlotta Wiser (The Hindu Jajmani System and Behind Mud Walls). In this book, village beliefs about the nature of ritual and the organization of the pantheon, as expressed in myth and song, are explored using structural and linguistic analysis. It is shown that the concept of power, Shakti, is critical to understanding the nature of the Hindu pantheon and that the gods, and thus the rituals directed to them, are ordered by their perceived powers. Hindu deities and humans are bound together in a mutual giving of boons and service, and humans are as necessary to the gods as are gods to humans. Finally, this mutual bonding is shown to carry over to human-human relationship, particularly those of the Jajmani system.
About the Author:
Susan Snow Wadley is Professor of Anthropology at Syracuse University, USA. She received her training at the University of Chicago and has made numerous field trips to North India. In the past ten years she has written extensively on village religion and folklore in North India, in addition to editing volumes on Women in India.
The story of shakuntala originally appeared in the first book of the Mahabharata where the lineage of the chief characters is detailed. It was later adapted with minor changes into a play by kalidasa, the great Sanskrit poet and dramatist.
Shakuntala was the daughter of Sage Vishvamitra and Menaka, a celestail maiden. When shakuntala was born, Menaka abandoned her near Sage Kanva's hermitage where he found her and made her his foster daughter. One day King Dushyanta of Hastinapura met her while he was hunting in the forest. Enamoured by her beauty, he married her and returned to his palace, promising to send for her at the soonest. Later, Shakuntala went to his court,Dushyanta did not recognise her, owing to a curse placed on her by sage Durvasa.
In the end, however, the truth of her claims was proved, and Shakuntala and Dushyanta were reunited. Their son Bharat, a direct ancestor of the Pandava and Kaurava princes, is the one who gave our country its name - 'Bharat' .
