DESCRIPTION:
बीसवीं सदी के प्रारम्भिक दौर में बांगला समाज में जहाँ नारी को कुछ बोलने की आज़ादी नहीं थी, उस परिवेश में जब कमल अलग-अलग मुद्दों पर अपने पति से प्रश्न करती है तो उसे यह फूटी आँख नहीं भाता। स्वतंत्र विचार वाली मुँहफट कमल का हर प्रश्न पुरुष के नारी के ऊपर स्वामित्व की नींव पर चोट पहुँचाता है। जैसे-जैसे कमल के प्रश्न बढ़ते हैं, उसके और उसके पति शिवनाथ, जिससे वह पूरे रीति-रिवाज़ से ब्याही भी नहीं है, के बीच टकराव और तनाव बढ़ता जाता है और कमल अपने अलग रास्ते पर निकल जाती है... 1931 में लिखा शरतचन्द्र का यह उपन्यास आज भी उतना ही प्रासंगिक है, क्योंकि नारी जिन प्रश्नों के उत्तर तब तलाश रही थी वे आज भी अनुत्तरित हैं।

With a plethora of stories, unfamiliar and untold, a key to the deity’s chief symbols, a map to jyotirlingas, and a list of the ravel-haired god’s many names, Shiva: An Introduction takes the reader on a journey through Shaivite philosophy, history, folklore, ritual and myth.

DESCRIPTION:
Throbbing with non-stop excitement, Shiva in the City of Nectar sweeps across Heaven, Earth and the Underworld, narrating the exploits of the mysterious and powerful blue-throated god. One after another, the tales unfold the follies of ancient devas, asuras, sages, men and mythical beasts. And through them all, Shiva blithely takes on the guise of beggar, saint, monarch, merchant, fisherman, hunter, warrior and woodcutter; walking through the three worlds to slay rampaging demons, perform his Dance of Bliss and embrace good and bad alike.
Shiva is portrayed in all his multi-faceted mystique – the tender lover who woos and weds Goddess Meenakshi; the eternal Guru who dispenses wisdom; the fierce avenger whose third eye flashes fire; the generous benefactor who showers blessings on his devotees; and, above all, the gentle prankster who embodies the essence of Vedic faith.

Description
Ability is an important tool in life. Ability without commitment and awareness is like a vehicle without the engine. The Shiva Sutra enhances one's awareness in a way one sees an opportunity in a difficulty and not a difficulty in an opportunity. There is an 'outside reality' and an 'inside reality' of one's mind. There is also another dimension called 'spiritual reality'. To harmonize all of them is a great awakening. Ordinary being loves one's own 'psycho dramas' of justification, proving one's point of view, blaming, being helpless and this leads one to a state of inner poverty. To free oneself from these lower states of poverty and see them as 'errors in one's thinking' is part of being effective and experiencing inner prosperity. The profound teaching of Lord Shiva introduces us to a bigger container where one learns to be charitable to one's own self. This practice of making a bigger container is essentially spiritual. Dive deep into these mystic teachings. - Swami Sukhabodhananda.

DESCRIPTION:
A biography of one of the greatest heroes in Indian history. He was a great warrior, courageous, valiant, dedicated to free his country from occupation from outsiders.
At such a peiod was Shivaji born. He was the son of an incredible brave father and wise and loving mother. These two and teacher named Dadoji were the moulding influences on shivaji’s character. The boy showed and uncommon understanding of the happenings around him. The wicked deeds of the ruling class made him angry and restless. The flame of freedom burnt in the little boy’s heart. He collected around him a band of devoted followers and as they grew up they swore to throw off the yoke of alien rule.
How shivaji carried out his ambitious plans with success, is told in pictures in the following pages.
A great warrior and skilled administrator, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, better known as Shivaji, was the founder of the great Maratha Empire, and one who instilled a sense of Maratha identity in his people. At a time, when the Mughal Empire was at its zenith, Shivaji was the only one who dared to challenge the might of Emperor Aurangzeb. He steadily grew his army from a humble contingent of 2,000 soldiers to a force of 100,000. Assisted by a disciplined military system, a well-structured administrative organization and a deeply traditional society, soon the Maratha force became the only military power of consequence against the Mughals in India. Including accounts of legendary encounters like those with the Adil-Shahi Sultanate and the menacing Aurangzeb, The Grand Rebel is an epic saga of an Indian warrior king whose tales of victory and valour have been inspiring the nation for centuries.
AUTHOR OF THE BOOK
Dennis Kincaid (1905–1937), a civil servant in British India, arrived in Bombay in 1928 to work with the courts. He was the elder son of Charles Augustus Kincaid, a distinguished civil servant, and a well-known novelist and historical writer. Also a novelist, Dennis authored British Social Life in India, 1608-1937, a classic account of the British in colonial India. His Cactus Land was an unusual story, breaking with the conventions of Indian novels of that period. Dennis died on 10 June 1937 while swimming in a rough sea.

DESCRIPTION:
'The epic text of Ranjit Desai's Shriman Yogi finds new voice in Vikrant Pande's nuanced translation, an immersive narrative of the foundations of the Maratha empire and the saga of its charismatic founder.' - Namita Gokhale. Young Shivaji reaches Pune, a dying fort city, with his mother Jijabai and lights the first lamp within its ruins. While his father Shahaji Bhosle is away on deputation by the Adil Shah sultanate after having failed in a revolt against it, Shivaji learns how an empire is built from the ground up. Thus begins the life of the Great Maratha. What awaits Shivaji is nothing short of the vast scroll of history, and it takes him from Surat to Thanjavur and all the way to Aurangzeb's durbar in Agra. He dreams of freeing his land from the clutches of Mughal rule, and though he suffers many defeats and personal losses along the way he never gives up his vision of Hindavi Swaraj. Amidst political intrigue and a chain of skirmishes, Shivaji becomes a leader, a warrior and a tactician par excellence, driven by immense pride and love for his motherland.

Description:
chilling parable about modern-day India. Crushed by successive crop failures and the burden of debt, Sudhakar Bhadra kills himself. The powerful district committee of Mityala routinely dismisses the suicide and refuses compensation to his widow. Gangiri, his brother, makes it his lifes mission to bring justice to the dead by influencing the committee to validate similar farmer suicides. Keyur Kashinath of the Democratic Party first-time member of Parliament from Mityala, and son of Vaishnav Kashinath, the partys general secretary is the heir to his fathers power in Delhi politics. He faces his first crisis; every suicide in his constituency certified by the committee as debt-related is a blot on the partys image, and his competence. The brilliant farmer battles his inheritance of despair, the arrogant politician fights for the power he has received as legacy. Their two worlds collide in a conflict that pushes both to the limits of morality from where there is no turning back. At stake is the truth about inherited democratic power. And at the end, there can only be one winner. Passionate and startlingly insightful, Shoes of the Dead is a chilling parable of modern-day India.
