Description
"‘On the morning of 19 September, while Miss Mountstephen was still away, Miss Garnett-Orme was found dead in her bed. The door was locked from the inside. On her bedside table was a glass. She was positioned on the bed as though laid out by a nurse or undertaker.’ From ‘A Mussoorie Mystery’ by Ruskin Bond.
There are very few readers who don’t get a feeling of satisfaction from reading a good short story. It is the ending to a story that can make the reader sit up and think about it—some can be good, some twisted and some absolutely anticlimactic! Read about a couple who set out to get the perfect gift for each other and the surprising twist in the end in ‘The Gift of the Magi’; a robotic dancing partner, which creates more menace than a human partner ever can in ‘The Dancing Partner’; and Bond’s own telling of a mystery set in Mussoorie, which caught the fancy of none other than Conan Doyle, the creator of Sherlock Holmes; and many more such stories. Selected and edited by Ruskin Bond, this collection is abound with several fantastic, scary, surprising and humorous stories.

Description
From the pen of Ananda K. Coomaraswamy this small but wonderful volume is an essay in translation and exegesis in relation to the Vedas in which passages from the Rgveda and the Brhadaranyaka and Maitri Upanisads, dealing with cosmogony, ontology and teleology, have been interpreted in a new perception of the quite extraordinary depth of those ideas and their amazing psychological accuracy. According to Coomaraswamy no great extension of our present measure of understanding of the Vedas can be expected from philological research alone. Further progress in the interpretation of the difficult cycle of liturgies cannot be made until they are more profoundly explained from the viewpoint of the history of religion and translated in accordance with the true spirit of the textual contents. The passages translated and interpreted in this volume reflect their technical significance and at the same time a comparative approach. This has made the work exceptional in regard to quality, understanding and depth.
About the Author:- Ananda Kentish Coomaraswamy, the greatest among the Indian Art-historians, was born in Colombo on August 22, 1887. after graduating from the University of London with honours in Geology in 1900, he became the director of the Mineralogical Survey of Ceylon. During his three-year's stay in Ceylon, he formed the Ceylon Social Reformation Society and led the University movement in which he initiated the national education, teaching of vernaculars in all school and revival of Indian culture. Between 1906 and 1917, when he joined as the Curator of Indian Art at the Boston Museum he was busy lecturing on Indian art. In 1938, he became the Chairman of National Committee for India's Freedom. His contributions on Indian Philosophy, religion, art and iconography, painting and literature are of the greatest importance as were his contributions on music, science and Islamic art. He died on September 9, 1947

DESCRIPTION:
Explore the World of Quantum Spirituality
Quantum theory demands a radical re-visioning of the role of consciousness as the underlying organizing principle of the universe. Quantum physics is the bridge that elegantly connects two heretofore separate parts of ourselves in one stunning stroke, unifying the physical with the spiritual dimension of experience.
Written for readers with no background in quantum physics, Levy contemplates the deeper philosophical underpinnings of quantum physics, exploring the fundamental conditions it provokes:
• What is implied by the concept of no “objective reality?”
• How are we participating via our consciousness in creating our experience of a reality that quantum theory itself describes as “dreamlike?”
• What are the implications for us in our everyday lives that as quantum theory reveals that what we call reality is more like a dream that we had previously imagined?

Description:
“Marco Pallis was at once an incomparable authority on Buddhism, especially in its Tibetan form, a defender and protector of the Tibetan tradition in the West since the tragedies of 1951, a lover of nature and a mountain climber who first encountered Tibetan Buddhism while climbing Himalayan peaks in the 1920s, a profound student of other religions, especially Christianity, and a very accomplished musician. All of these concerns of Pallis are reflected in A Buddhist Spectrum, whose themes are woven together by the principles of tradition and, more particularly, by Buddhism. It is a Buddhist work on both religion as such and religions in their multiplicity, presented in a contemporary but traditional language. A major characteristic of the book is that it is concerned with the reality of Buddhism and not just a theoretical analysis of its ideas. A Buddhist Spectrum is a wise book while being thoroughly reliable from a scholarly point of view.
A Buddhist Spectrum is at once one of the most readable works on Buddhism and a major work on comparative religion and living spirituality. It is the fruit of the thoughts and meditations of a man whose authoritative exposition during several decades of religious questions in general and Buddhism in particular, especially in its Tibetan form, have had a profound influence upon many scholars and practitioners of religion in both East and West.”
—Seyyed Hossein Nasr, George Washington University

It shows how the early Christians created a space for themselves in-between and beyond those two polar opposite spaces; and how they grew, expanded and eventually erased those spaces of power.

AFTERWORD BY OM SWAMI
7 Spiritual Practices to Catapult You to Happiness
Want to know the greatest benefit of being a sannyasin?
Well, you never have to stand in front of your cupboard and think: what should I wear today? There is only one color. When I was initiated into sannyasa, I thought I had become a different person forever. The reality was far from it.
The only solace: I was not the only one.
Having met numerous seekers who visit our ashram to meet my guru, Om Swami, I realized that most of them had similar woes. My failures were everyday failures for others just as much. They too were dancing to the fickle tunes of their unanchored and untamed minds.
But there was hope. Simple instructions from the ingenious mind of my master rescued me. It is his infallible wisdom that I have tried to capture in this book. I hope the lessons in these pages bring you as much peace and clarity as they brought me.

The Illustrated Ramayana
One dark night, thousands of years ago, when saints and demons roamed the earth, a great and powerful king was born. He was called Ravana, “Loud Wailing,” for the cry of terror he incited in others. On that somber moonless night, blood poured from the heavens and carnivorous animals paced left and right...
Born on that fearsome night, the ten-headed Ravana grew in size and evil intent. He terrorized gods and humans alike. To end his menace, Lord Vishnu took birth as Prince Rama, the eldest son of King Dasharatha of Ayodhya.
A Prince in Exile, the first book in The Illustrated Ramayana trilogy, is the adventurous and romantic tale of this Suryavanshi hero. Join Rama and his brothers on their youthful odyssey as they slay blood-thirsty demons and steal the hearts of dainty damsels – all laid out with splendid illustrations.

Description:
Son of renowned Sanskrit scholar and Diwan or Prime Minister of Porbandar state, Rao Bahadur Dr. Shankarrao P. Pandit, Vamanrao (1882-1941) was born with a marked talent for portraiture, later honed by two of the most celebrated artists of Europe, Philip de Laszlo and John Singer Sargent.Vamanrao has painted the well-known and well-heeled: Sir Dorab Tata, Sudhira Devi (Gayatri Devi's paternal aunt), Sir Cowasji Jehangir, Sir Ibrahim Rahimtoolah, Maharaja Sayajirao Geakwar, Maharaja Tukojirao Holkar and other 40 odd Maharajas such as Ranas, Raos, Maharanas and Rajas from several princely states across India.
After his law education in London, Vamanrao moved to Vienna where Philip de Laszlo was already a recognised portrait artist in Europe. He spent four years with de Laszlo, travelling extensively throughout Europe visiting crowned heads of Europe and the aristocracy. During this time, a friendship evolved between the two. De Laszlo made a suave portrait of the very handsome Vamanrao dressed as an Indian prince which was exhibited in 1907. In 1097 Vamanrao moved back to London and joined the Royal Academy under Sargent. In his time in Europe, Vamanrao painted portraits of Lady Nina Corbet, Baron Arild Rosencrantz, the celebrated artist Otto Friedrick and the Countess of Bective among other aristocrats and nobility.
Vamanrao's style of portraiture has the European academic approach and yet sports a distinct style - he used a muted colour palette and presented the jewels and pearls of his Indian sitters without overstating them. Says historian Sharada Dwivedi, who places Vamanrao's paintings at an extremely high level" in the context of Indian art, "There are many unsung artists. Vamanrao Pandit has been rediscovered now. His portraiture is as sensitive as, say, Raja Ravi Varma's or Dhurandhar's, although very different in style.

Sir M.Monier-Williams embarked upon Sanskrit-English Dictionary, with the primary object of exhibiting, by a lucid etymological arrangement, the structure of the Sanskrit language, the very key-stone of the science of Comparative Philology. Though all lexicographers have to rely on the work of their earlier compeers, Sir Williams` work is unique and original in its plan and execution, the utility of which is seen in its repeated reprints. This is not a mere aggregation of words and meanings but the fruit of a colossal industry and experience with the actual treatises in the original language on a number of subjects. All the words are arranged etymologically and philologically with special reference to cognate Indo-European languages. The author refers to several authors and extant works. the work includes well over 1,80,000 words. This invaluable thesaurus serves far too well the needs of researchers and lovers of Sanskrit. There is an elaborate and informative Introduction detailing the inception and progress of this huge task, successfully completed with the collaboration of devoted scholars like Prof. E. Leumann, Prof. C. Cappeller and others.
