Jainism is aside from Buddhism, the only surviving example of India`s ancient non-Vedic religious traditions celebrated for its systematic practice of non-violence and for the rigor of the asceticism it promotes. It sheds light on a little known religious tradition and demonstrates that divine absence.

Description
H.G. Wells, in his Short History of the World, says that Ashoka’s “reign for eight and twenty years was one of the brightest interludes in the troubled history of mankind”. Wells goes on to say, “Such was Ashoka, the greatest of kings. He was far in advance of his age”.
This volume is based on the original research of the author into the Mahavamsa, the Dipavamsa (the commentary on the Mahavamsa) and the edicts of Ashoka. Pali manuscript and other secondary sources have also been extensively studied in gleaning facts that will kindle new interest in the great Emperor Ashoka.

Ashtavakra Says: You are not the body which is composed of the five elements. You are that Consciousness which has provided the inert body with the sentience that makes the senses function I regard to their objects. It is sentience which makes the psychosomatic apparatus work as a unit. Anticipating the query from his intelligent disciple, the guru tells him further, You are not the physical organism but Consciousness which works not as someone in charge of the operations of the physical organism but merely as the witness of the operations.

अश्वत्थामामहाभारत का शापित योद्धा इसे नियति की विडंबना ही कहेंगे कि महाभारत की गाथा का एक अत्यंत महत्वपूर्ण और अमर पात्र होने के बावजूद, अश्वत्थामा सदा उपेक्षित रहा है. पौराणिक साहित्य में अश्वत्थामा सहित और भी लोग हैं, जिन्हें अमर मन जाता है. परंतु जहाँ अन्य लोगों कोअमर होने का 'वरदान' प्राप्त हुआ, वहीँ अश्वत्थामा को अमरता 'शाप' में मिली थी! युद्ध की कथा सदा निर्मम नरसंहार, निर्दोषों की हत्या और दुष्कर्मों की काली स्याही से ही लिखी जाती है. तो फिर महाभारत जैसे महायुद्ध में अश्वत्थामा से ऐसे कौन-से दो अक्षम्य अपराध हो गये थे, जिनके लिए
श्रीकृष्ण ने उसे एकाकी व जर्जर अवस्था में हज़ारों वर्षों तक पृथ्वी पर भटकने का विकट शाप दे डाला? उसके मन में यह प्रश्न उठता है कि श्रीकृष्ण ने इतना कठोर शाप देकर उसके साथ अन्याय किया या फिर इसके पीछे भगवान का कोई दैवी प्रयोजन था? क्या अश्वत्थामा के माध्यम से भगवान कृष्ण
आधुनिक समाज को कोई संदेश देना चाहते थे? अधिकांश जगत अश्वथामा को दुर्योधन कि भांति कुटिल और दुराचारी समझता है. लेखक ने इस उपन्यास में अश्वत्थामा के जीवन के अनछुए पहलुओं को उजागर करते हुए, उस महान योद्धा के दृष्टिकोण से महाभारत की कथा को नए रूप में प्रस्तुत
किया है. साहित्य के कन्धों पर यह ज़िम्मेदारी है कि विस्मृत नायक-नायिकाओं को पुनर्स्थापित करें. 'अश्वत्थामा' इस श्रेणी में एक आवश्यक महनीय प्रयास है. - डॉ. कुमार विश्वास, कवि एवं राजनेताअर्धसत्य, मनुष्य के लिए सदैव सुख का कारण और आत्म-मंथन का विषय रहा है. 'अश्वत्थामा' का पात्र इसी द्वंद्व का प्रतीक है.- सुतपा सिकदार, लेखिका एवं फिल्म निर्माता.

DESCRIPTION:
Over a hundred years after the Mahabharata War, an ancient power threatens to destroy the new Age of Men, by establishing the Age of Terror of the asuras, long believed to be extinct. the only hurdle in its path is Guru Dronacharya’s son, the mighty but accursed warrior Ashwatthama, who lost all his powers following Lord Krishna’s curse and who unwittingly finds himself drawn into the quest of the lost bow of Lord Rama, the Kodanda. As ghosts of the distant past return to haunt him and the line between friends and enemies blurs, Ashwatthama must fight his inner demons to emerge victorious. He undertakes a perilous journey—across the vast plains of the Ganges, to the snow-capped peaks of the Himavant where the price of failure is a fate worse than death and death is a privilege not granted to Ashwatthama.

This scholarly research provides a lucid picture of how Asians respond and interpret Christ in terms of their context.

"The language whose phonology is described in this work is standard Hindi, i.e., the Hindi used in everyday casual speech by educated native speakers in cities such as Varanasi, Lucknow, Delhi etc., which is different from highly Sanskritized Hindi called literary style Hindi and highly Perso-Arabicized Urdu, a native speaker being one who has learnt the language as his first language.
The author’s interest lies in accounting for the Hindi speakers’ competence i.e., providing evidence for the psychological reality of certain sound patterns of Hindi. This study is a mixture of two types of evidence. Some evidence is provided from experimental data and other is from hypercorrection, from children’s mistakes, from native speakers’ reactions to certain forms. The model used is that of generative phonology with modifications suggested throughout.
The work is divided into six chapters. The first chapter deals with the segments of Hindi that need to be recognized as phonemes. Chapter 2 deals with current morpheme structure theory, and some suggested revisions of it. Chapter 3 discusses the 'abstractness’ issue. Chapter 4 gives a detailed account of the initial, medial and final clusters of Hindi, and gives the if-then sequential constraints necessary to account for these. Chapter 5 has two parts, the first discussing the problem of nasalization in Hindi and the second dealing with the issue of homorganic nasals in Hindi. The sixth chapter discusses the o-deletion rule in Hindi."

Description:
The distinguishing feature of all schools of Indian philosophy in general is that these do not remain content with merely enunciating the metaphysical tenets of the particular school, but they also set up the spiritual goal before the seekers, prescribing the modes of spiritual discipline to reach it. Spiritual discipline or Yoga therefore constitutes an inseparable part of the philosophy of every school. This is very true especially in the case of Tantric schools, in which spiritual practices or sadhana kriya dominate. The performance of kriya in the prescribed manner forms an integral part of all texts dealing with Tantra Yoga.
This book opens with an account of the nature, origin and development of Saiva-Sakta Tantras, their classification under different schools, the wealth of literature available belonging to these schools, etc. It also sheds light on the principal metaphysical tenets of Saiva and Sakta Tantras, relevant to the study of Tantra-Yoga. The topics covered in this book are the concepts of divine Grace or saktipata, guru and his different kinds, the process of initiation (diksa) and its varieties, mantra’s nature and place in sadhana kriya, different modes of spiritual discipline, Kundalini Yoga, the highest spiritual goal, etc.
This book attempts to remove the misconceptions widespread in the academic world about the theory and practice of Tantra-Yoga, which have been deliberately kept secret by the practitioners to prevent their misuse by unscrupulous persons.

Description:
The Astavakra Gita is a unique text among the world's contemplative classics dealing systematically with the mystical experiences of the Self on its way to transcendence, peace and bliss. There are few ancient treatises in East or West which evince such profound and lively concern with the Supreme Self as the ultimate reality, embodied in mystical insight and experience, and written with such spiritual imagination and poetic fervour. Astavakra Gita (The Song of the Self Supreme) contains the Sanskrit text of Astavakra Gita (both in Nagari and Roman script), its English translation, Exegesis and Glossarial Index. It presents in twenty chapters the substance of Astavakra's teaching in respect of the Cosmic Self in the form of his dialogue with Janaka, the magnificent king of Videha. The teaching is based on the Upanisadic creed of Absolute monism (Advaitavada) that identifies the Self with the non-dual Ultimate Reality. But the contribution of Astavakra is also immense, for he has introduced the element of emotional experience or the mystical feeling as the means for realizing the non-dual nature of the Self. Written in a lucid style and dealing systematically with the subject matter, the book, it is hoped, will hold a unique position among the contemplative classics of the world.

DESCRIPTION:
This recognized classic of modem astrology is truly a pioneering book. It established a new science of astrological psychology. It presents a language of energy that has enabled astrology to be widely and reliably used in the helping professions as well as by the general public. As Library Journal stated, “Transcending the boundaries of separate disciplines, this work represents a major distillation of astrological principles.This book relates astrology to modem psychology and explains the use of astrology as a practical method of understanding one’s attunement to universal forces. It clearly shows how to approach astrology with a real understanding of the energies involved. Part I of the book explains how astrology can be the most valuable psychological tool for understanding oneself and others. Analyzing the scientific, philosophical, and intuitive dimensions of astrology, it is oriented toward the layman with no astrological
knowledge, astrology students and professionals, and those engaged in any form of the counseling arts.
Part II deals specifically with the interpretation and practical application of astrological factors based on the actual energies involved (air, fire, water, & earth). It presents a dynamic application of astrological knowledge that clarifies and illuminates traditional techniques and meanings by placing them in the perspective of understanding the vital energies inherent in all life processes.
