‘‘वह एक सामान्य-सा दिन था - चेन्नई की अन्ना यूनिवर्सिटी के परिसर में ‘संकल्पना से लक्ष्य तक’ विषय पर मेरा एक व्याख्यान हुआ था जो एक घंटे से बढ़ कर दो घंटे का हो गया था। उसके बाद मैंने शोध छात्रों के साथ भोजन किया और फिर क्लास में गया। शाम को जब अपने कमरे में लौट रहा था, वाइस-चांसलर प्रोफेसर ए. कलानिधि भी मेरे साथ थे। उन्होंने मुझे बताया कि दिन भर कोई मुझसे संपर्क करने की कोशिश करता रहा। जैसे ही मैं कमरे में घुसा, फ़ोन बज रहा था। फ़ोन उठाने पर उधर से आवाज़ आई, ‘प्रधानमंत्री आपसे बात करना चाहते हैं। कुछ ही महीने पहले मैंने कैबिनेट स्तर का मुख्य वैज्ञानिक सलाहकार का अपना पद छोड़ा था ताकि मैं अध्यापन के अपने काम की ओर लौट सकूँ। जैसे ही मैंने प्रधानमंत्री अटल बिहारी वाजपेयी से बात की, मेरे जीवन ने एक नया मोड़ लिया।’’ ‘टर्निंग प्वाइंट्स’ पूर्व राष्ट्रपति कलाम की अतुल्य कहानी है जो वहाँ से शुरू होती है, जहाँ उनकी आत्मकथा का पहला भाग ‘विंग्स आफ फायर’ ठहर गया था। यह कहानी उनके जीवन और राष्ट्रपतित्व-काल के कुछ ऐसे पहलू उजागर करती है जो अब तक अनजाने रहे हैं। कई विवादास्पद मुद्दों पर भी पहली बार उन्होंने अपना बयान दिया है। यह केवल एक असाधारण व्यक्ति की जीवन-गाथा नहीं है, बल्कि एक संकल्पना का दर्शन भी है कि कैसे एक भव्य विरासत वाला देश, अपनी दक्षता, योग्यता, प्रयास और दृढ़ विश्वास के सहारे महान बन सकता है। देश-विदेश के लाखों युवाओं के आदर्श और प्रेरणास्रोत, भ्पामत के ग्यारहवें राष्ट्रपति ए.पी.जे. अब्दुल कलाम सर्वाधिक लोकप्रिय रहे हैं। उनकी लिखी पुस्तकंे ‘विंग्स आॅफ फायर’, ‘इनडोमिटेबल स्पिरिट’, ‘स्पिरिट आफ इंडिया’, ‘इग्नाइटिड माइंड्स’ बैस्टसैलर रही हैं।

 

Twilight of the sultanate is a political, social and cultural history of the Sultanate of the Delhi from the invasion of Timur to the conquest of Babar (1398-1526). This period of a century and a quarter presents the spectacle of a curious contradiction of unceasing political upheavals and great cultural achievements. It is not only a coherent sequence of history and continuity that the author portrays in this volume, but the very atmosphere of those turbulent and disorderly days. Timur’s capture of Delhi vivifies the terror of the times, amidst which Timur, who was sixty-three, ‘immersed himheslf in pleasure and enjoyment.’ ‘No one ever achieved a victory over Bahlul Lodi,’ and yet he could calmly tell his restive Afghan nobles: ‘If you do not think me worthy of the Station (of Monarch), you may choose loved to have the learned Ulema about him, but drank wine in secret ‘to keep himself in health.’ And Babur’s keen intellect rightly noted that India ‘has masses of gold and silver,’ a fact in many ways responsible for her chequered history.

“In the political field the first half of the 15^th century was a period of decay; the second half of upheavals, but in the cultural field it was an age of sustained progress,” says the author. This period witnessed great development in architecture, music, education and social reform. “there was continuous progress of synthesis in spite of all conflicts, political, social, intellectual.” Muriel edition of the Twilight of the sultanate rightly observes: ‘Even more interesting are the final observations of the author on the emergence of the integrated Indian culture.’ As Professor Lal say: “Babur appreciated it and Akbar worked upon it.”

In brief, Twilight of the Sultanate “ is a painstaking and scholarly book, which Indian medievalists will find Indispensable.”

A History of Sufism in India

by

Dr. S.A.A.Rizvi

IN TWO VOLUMES

     The present work seeks to study sufism as a psycho-historical

phenomenon, the author seeing it as a potential force to meet

social and political challenges produced by protracted political upheaval, associated with autocratic oppression and economic deprivation. It is divided into two volumes.

     The first volume outlines the history of Sufism before it was firmly established in India and then goes on to discuss the principal trends in sufi developments there from the thirteenth to the beginning of the sixteenth century. Chronologically it is concerned with sufi history from the establishment of the       Delhi Sultanate to the beginning of the Mughal empire. Naturally it lays great emphasis on the Chishtiyya, Suhrawadiyya, Firdaosiyya and Kubrawiyya orders, but the contribution made by qalandars and legendary and semi-legendary saints have also not been neglected. A detailed discussion of the interaction of medieval Hindu mystic  traditions and Sufism shows a unique polarity between the intolerant rigidity of the orthodox and the flexibility of the sufis in India.

      The fifteenth century also saw the introduction to India of the Shattari and the Qadiri orders  these orders, along with the Naqshbandis and Chishtis, will be discussed in the second volume.  This will also outline the impact of Indian sufis on the contemporary Islamic world, concluding with the influence of modernism on Sufism in India.

     Mainly concentrating on the development of Indian sufi orders and their internal conflicts and internal threats, the two volumes deal with only the most important personalities of each order, their basic teachings and their contributions to religious, mystical, social, economic and political thoughts.  They are not intended to be a directory of Indian sufis.

The five rules of a Twitch hiker

 You can only accept offers of travel and accommodation from people on Twitter.

• You can't make any travel plans further than three days in advance.
• You can only spend money on food, drink and anything that fits in your suitcase.
• If there is more than one offer, you choose. If there is only one, you have to take it within 48 hours.
• If you are unable to move on from a location within 48 hours, the challenge is over and you go home.

 Bored in the supermarket one day, Paul wonders how far he can get in 30 days through the goodwill of fellow 'Twittering social networkers. He sets his sights on Campbell Island near New Zealand -the point on the planet opposite to his home in Newcastle. In an adventure wrapped in nonsense, he travels by car, bus, boat, plane and train, sleeps in five-star luxury and on no-star sofas, resorts to the hair of the dog in multiple time zones and schmoozes with Hollywood A-listers -all the while wearing the same pair of underpants.

Discription:

The “ Stanzas of Dzyan” are the core of H.P. Blavatsky’s  The Secret Doctrine. This book  lays bare the underlying structure of her work so that the whole may be more easily grasped. The Prologues and Epilogues  which H.P.B provided are have been included, also the headings of the Stanzas of both Books, and of each verse of the Second Book.

Late medieval poems from Kerala that still resonate in every Malayali’s heart touchstones of faith in Kerala. Puntanam’s Jnana-paana may claim to be the first original modern poem in Malayalam; simple and innocent, it still speaks directly to the reader. Melpattur’s Narayaniyam is ‘the last great hurrah of classical Sanskrit’ in India; the poem excerpted here, majestic in its humility, describes a vision of the Lord. With his elegant verse translations, Vijay Nambisan brings these poems to a new audience. Also translated is a poem by Mahakavi Vallathol which relates the story of Melpattur and Puntanam’s meeting and how the Sanskritist scorned the vernacular poet. In his incisive ‘Translator’s Apology’, Nambisan explores the dynamics of Malayali culture; places its literature in context; studies matters of prosody; and questions the attitude of an elitist language to a regional one.

सच्ची घटनाओं पर आधारित 1857 के पहले स्वतंत्रता-संग्राम की पृष्ठभूमि पर लिखा गया यह उपन्यास इतिहास के शिकंजे में जकड़े प्रेम-भरे दिल की एक दास्तान है। रूथ एक अंग्रेज़ लड़की है जो अपने माता-पिता के साथ शाहजहांपुर में रहती है। चर्च में आते-जाते रूथ एक पठान नवाब जावेद खान के मन को भा जाती है। विद्रोहियों और अंग्रेज़ी फौजियों के बीच छिड़ी लड़ाई से बचने के लिए रूथ और उसकी मां को जावेद खान के पास पनाह लेनी पड़ती है। क्या जावेद खान रूथ को अपना बना पाता है? रूथ के मन में जावेद खान के प्रति घृणा और क्रोध क्या प्यार में बदल जाता है? दिल की इन्हीं सब परतों में छिपी भावनाओं को एक मार्मिक कहानी में बदल दिया है रस्किन बान्ड की कलम ने, जिस पर श्याम बेनेगल ने 1979 में ‘जुनून’ फिल्म भी बनाई थी। ‘‘रस्किन बान्ड का यह उपन्यास अति पठनीय...आखिरी पन्ना पलटते हुए अफसोस होता है कि उपन्यास खत्म हो गया...दिल को छू लेने वाली कहानी बहुत देर तक याद रहती है।’’-संडे ट्रिब्यून ‘‘1857 की आज़ादी की लड़ाई पर आधारित यदि आप कोई उपन्यास खोज रहे हैं तो रस्किन बाॅन्ड का यह उपन्यास सबसे बेहतर है।’’-हिन्दुस्तान टाइम्स

"Shiva created sixty four Tantras to hide the real 'Sri Vidya' accomplishment, from the people of this world. Oh Devi! It is your virtue which made this penance again available for this world" (Shri Saundarya Lahiri-Verse 31) Being written by Shiva himself along with 63 other Tantras, this Tantra in itself is capable of fulfilling, all worldly desires of human being. Being preached to Lankesh Ravan by Lord Shiva, this tantra consists of worship rituals of; Sri Kali Ji and Sri Ardrapati Devi. It has various exorcisms, Yakshini accomplishments and Bhootini and Indrajaal accomplishments along with various Ayurveda treatments. Those who use it in right manner, without hurting human civilization; would become eligible for next stages of tantric penances, which takes seeker to the supreme abode. About the Author Giri Ratna Mishra, is an Electronics and Communications engineer by qualification and an ex-IT Executive of an MNC. Being initiated by the great social reformer and Saint of India, Aghoreshwar Bhagwan Ram Ji, he has given up his professional career and is now involved in serving his Deity under the guidance of his able Guru. Being born in Varanasi as a son of Smt. Padma Mishra and Sri Raghvendra Mishra, he has taken up a responsibility to spread the pragmatic message of Tantra to society: so that Tantric diaspora may convert into mass. Preface Indian society has always been intellectual. It has always been keen to know about reasons behind their existence, life beyond life, creation of universe and about the nature of one who rules this world. There were various schools of philosophy which propounded various theories to define the principles which can answer above questions. Amongst them six principal schools are: • "Nyaya" • "Samkhya" • "Vaisesika" • "Yoga" • "Purva Mimamsa" • "Uttara Mimamsa" Apart from it there were a few more thoughts which took shape of philosophy.

उमराव जान उन्नीसवीं सदी की लखनऊ की तवायफ़ थी जो अपनी खूबसूरती, शोख अदाओं और नाच-गाने के साथ अपनी शायरी के लिए भी मशहूर थी। हर शाम उसका कोठा घुँघरुओं की गूँज, जामों की खनक, शेरो-शायरी की वाहवाही से गुलज़ार हो उठता और खानदानी रईस, जोशीले नवाबज़ादे, नामी गुण्डे, शराबी-कबाबी उसकी रौनक बढ़ाते। उमराव जान अदा पढ़ते पाठक की आँखों के करीब दो सौ साल पहले की लखनवी तहज़ीब की जीती-जागती तस्वीर उभर आती है। लेकिन उमराव जान की चमक शानो-शौकत के पीछे एक छोटी-सी लड़की, अमीरन की दिल को छू लेने वाली दुखभरी कहानी है। कम उम्र में अमीरन का अपहरण कर उसे कोठे पर बेचा जाता है। अमीरन से उमराव जान बनी लड़की का शरीर मजबूरन कोठे पर है, लेकिन उसकी रूह फ़ैजाबाद के अपने घर की तलाश में भटकती रहती है। 1899 में उर्दू में पहली बार उमराव जान अदा प्रकाशित हुई थी। माना जाता है कि लेखक की मुलाकात उमराव जान से एक मुशायरे में हुई और उसने अपनी कहानी बयान की और लेखक ने इसे इस ढंग से लिखा जैसे उमराव जान खुद अपनी दास्तान बयाँ कर रही हो। एक सदी से भी ज़्यादा समय बीत जाने के बाद भी उमराव जान का रोमाँच वैसे ही बरकरार है और लोग आज भी उसके बारे में जानने को बेकरार रहते हैं-चाहे किताब की बाबत हो या फिर फ़िल्म के।

"A timeless selection of writings from India's best-loved author

I know the world's a crowded place,
And elephants do take up space,
But if it makes a difference, Lord,
I'd gladly share my room and board.
A baby elephant would do...
But, if he brings his mother too,
There's Dad's garage. He wouldn't mind.
To elephants, he's more than kind.
But I wonder what my Mum would say
If their aunts and uncles came to stay!

Ruskin Bond has regaled generations of readers for decades. This delightful collection of poetry, prose and non-fiction brings together some of his best work in a single volume. Sumptuously illustrated, Uncles, Aunts and Elephants is a book to treasure for all times."

Description:

Understanding Ramayana as Rama Within is an attempt at enacting the Ramayana using the body – both the physical and the metaphysical ones – as the stage. With Ravana representing the ego, Laksmana the body, Sita the mind, and Ram the soul, the book traces the spiritual journey from the outward to the inward. It speaks of the divinity that is man. With vibrant paintings and colour plates, the book is as much a visual treat as it is an intellectual delight.

Understanding Sankara brings together the essays of the late Richard De Smet, SJ (1916-1997) on the great Indian Advaitin. With the help of his discovery of a doctrine of laksana (analogy) in Sankara, De Smet challenges the traditional interpretation of the acarya as an illusionistic mayavadin. He also attempts a dialogue between Sankara's Advaita and Christianity, especially as represented by Thomas Aquinas. The present collection makes available this important contribution to Indology and opens it up to dialectic and dialogue.

Description

Unhurried Tales: My Favourite Novellas brings together, for the very first time, Ruskin Bonds favourite (and finest) novellas. The stories in this book include Time Stops at Shamli (written in 1956 and published for the first time in 1987); The Blue Umbrella, which has been a bestseller for the last forty years; Angry River, which was a longer work when it was first written; Bus Stop, Pipalnagar; Night of the Leopard; The Last Tiger and Tales of Fosterganj, his latest novella, which was published in 2013.

These stories speak of a world that has long vanished, but it is a world that has lost none of its power to enchant. Whether we are accompanying Sita on her perilous journey down the angry river or Bisnu as he gets the better of a dangerous leopard, whether we delight in Binyas joy at owning her blue umbrella or are saddened by the fate of the last tiger, whether we laugh uproariously at the antics of the eccentric guests at the 'hotel in Shamli, get involved in the adventures of the boys in Pipalnagar or plunge into the various goings-on in the 'backwater of Fosterganj, we are always entertained, always charmed. All the stories unwind in an unhurried way, even those that are filled with death-defying thrills and spills, and it is this quality that enables us to sink into them and experience to its fullest the magic of the fiction that Ruskin Bond has spun out of the hills and small towns of India for over sixty years.
