DESCRIPTION:

Chaalak Khargosh features a lucidly written fable of a rabbit that uses his presence of mind and manages to outsmart a fox. The story reverses a classic trope because foxes are usually shown as clever characters in most fables for children. In this story however, the fox is the one that gets tricked. __ Sharing your food with your friends is always a pleasure isn't it? But what happens when three friends in the story (Mithai ki Potli) —an elephant, a mouse and a monkey come across a pouch of sweets? There's also a wolf that is trying to steal the pouch. So how does the story end? Is it the friends who win or is it the sneaky wolf? __ Age group: For young learners, short stories are a key to learning a language they are not familiar with. The multilingual storybook series includes books for kids that are presented by Eduvate. These books are meant for children aged 5-6 years but can be read till the age of 10 years. Some of the short stories are based on panchatantra, jataka tales etc. __ Illustrations: Each page contains a colourful illustration, making the short stories more engaging for kids. Parents can ask the child to observe the pictures and predict what will happen next. Kids can describe what they see in the picture and build a conversation around it. __ Reading Habit Development: This storybook helps build a habit for reading among children in this age group. A regular reading habit is essential in learning a language. __Animations and videos to aid listening: Sufficient listening exposure is essential for learning any language. These storybooks can also be a great help for a child whose parents have moved and settled in a new city. Each storybook comes with four QR codes which can be scanned to access animated versions of the story in three languages. There is also a QR code for a flip book video where each page is shown on the screen. The pages are then read aloud in Hindi, English and Bengali. Storytelling creates a habit of listening among kids

Description:

Faith does not last long without experiences and I must admit that I have also experienced the miraculous Hanuman Chalisa. I don't have to prove anything if someone challenges me. I am inspired to write this booklet for the benefit of the believer.

"SHRI RAMACHARITAMANASA of Tulasidasa is the single most popular book of the Hindus, which, for over four centuries, has greatly appealed equally to the rich and the poor, the educated and the illiterate, the old and the young, and the scholar and the common man.

Its popularity is by no means limited to India, nor are the Hindus its only readers. The message of the RAMACHARITAMANASA is all the more relevant today as it reiterates man’s faith in the soundness of moral order that sustain the world. Dark and evil forces may, and will, on occasions, threaten to disrupt that order but divine intervention will ultimately chasten and subdue those forces.

Keeping in mind people’s ever-increasing quest for the epic, this unique edition of the RAMACHARITAMANASA with verse to verse Hindi and English translation along with Tulasidasa’s original text has been prepared. The translation rendered by an accomplished scholar maintains the intrinsic richness of the original. Special care has been taken for making it useful to the Indian brethren living abroad to whom the dialect of Tulasidasa’s original may be somewhat incomprehensible. There has been a long-standing demand from the vast Indian community settled abroad for a standard and authentic edition of the RAMACHARITAMANASA. The present edition has been designed to meet their requirement by using the most modern printing and processing techniques to make it a work of international standard.

A special feature of this edition is the inclusion of Lavakushakanda, Shri Hanumanchalisa and Shri Ramashalaka Prashnavali. The mode of its recitation is given as a separate appendix. Adding to its uniqueness is the important section containing Indian, and European and American Scholar’s criticisms on Tulasidasa’s RAMACHARITAMANASA . A glossary of important proper nouns and epithets is given at the end.

Dr. R.C. Prasad translated SHRI RAMACHARITAMANASA into simple and lucid English and Hindi. He was a University Professor of English in Patna University where he taught for about three decades. He was an eminent author, translator and editor. He had a good number of books to his credit.

Review:

""Now we have an excellent rendering of the original into simple Hindi and English with its two disputed chapter in the appendices along with opinions of scholars both Indian and European"" - Kushwant Singh, The Hindustan Times, New Delhi, December 10 , 198"

Sri Ramacaritamanasa of Gosvami Tulasidasa enjoys a unique place among the classics of the worldís literature. It is a fine specimen of most exquisite poetry and can compare favourably with the best poems of the world. It was considered to be the best work on Devotion by Mahåtmå Gåndh∂, the Father of the Nation. It is universally acclaimed by all classes of people from Bihar to Punjab and Jammu & Kashmir, and from the Himålayas to Gujarat and Maharashtra. In fact, over the years its vast popularity has spread throughout the country and abroad. In a moving tribute to the great saint, Bhårata Ratna

Shri C. Rajagopalcari wrote :
“Tulasidasa made his vision of God into a concrete reality for the commonest of men around him. Tulasidasa could have made himself as grand or obscure as any philosopher, ancient or modern, for he had learning enough for it; but he was too pious to lose himself in that manner. His great love of the common folk enabled him to produce a work (Sri Ramacaritamanasa) that has stood the test of centuries like a rock among philosophers, pandits and lowly men and women”

Description:

Tantraloka is a magnum opus in the horizon of Indian philosophy. This great work, created by the well-known polymath Acharya Abhinavaguptapada (tenth century ce), is a compendium of all Tantrika rituals and essence drawn from the light of all pre-treatises on Indian Tantra till the time of the creator. This text consists of thirty- seven chapters. It reflects on Tantra from the background of Kashmir Shaivism which is known as the monistic philosophy of Pratyabhijna. Abhinavagupta explains here at length about the ways to worship the Supreme Consciousness in order to attain this state of Absolute ecstasy and liberation in one single life of mankind. This work is before the English-speaking world for the first time in a hermeneutic way. With a great lineage of Pandit Ishwarchandra Vidyasagar and Pandit Suniti Kumar Chaturjya, Gautam Chatterjee is initiated by Pt. Gopinath Kaviraj, and has been a close associate of Thakur Jaidev Singh and Pt. Vraj Vallabh Dwivedi in the discipline of Kashmir Shaivism. Graduated in Mathematics, Gautam is now the founder president of Abhinavagupta Academy, a centre for consciousness studies in Banaras, developed a lucid way to yoga practices to enrich the richest Tantric tradition of monistic Shaivism in Kashi, spiritually and ontologically, and also metaphysically. Author of his oft-quoted book White Shadow of Consciousness, Shree Gautam teaches in Banaras Hindu University.
