Interstate Relations In Northern India (Circa 800-1200 CE)
FEEL highly gratified to bring out this book Interstate Relations in Northern India, quintessentially the PhD thesis of my husband, late Shri Shiv Gopal Bajpai, which was submitted to the University of London in 1967. For some reason, it couldn't be published while he was alive. Though, five decades are a long period, I find still merit in publishing this in-depth, scholarly and well-referenced thesis, for its relevance is beyond topicality as the study has its focus on a period, 800-1200 CH. India has a huge depository of literature on interstate relations from the Vedic period. The Vedas, Mahabharata, Kautilya's... Read More

Life, Death and the Ashtavakra Gita
The Ashtavakra Gita is considered to be the most distilled, purest form of the lessons of the Upanishads. It has been described variously as the final word, or the masterpiece, of the Advaita Vedanta school of Hindu philosophy. The text is a dialogue, at once utterly simple and compellingly profound, between the sage Ashtavakra and the wise king Janaka on the nature of truth and how one can attain it. It is said that when all spiritual texts fall silent, Ashtavakra begins to speak. In this book, two of India’s most exciting thinkers on Hinduism bring together their expertise and... Read More

Dattatreya: The Immortal Guru, Yogin, and Avatara
This book presents the multi-faceted Hindu deity Dattatreya from his Puranic emergence up to modern times. Dattatreya's Brahmanical portrayal, as well as his even more archaic characterization as a Tantric antinomian figure, combines both Vaisnava and Saiva motifs. Over the course of time, Dattatreya has come to embody the roles of the immortal guru, yogin, and avatara in a paradigmatic manner. From the sixteenth century, Dattatreya's glorious characterization emerged as the incarnation of the Trimurti to Brahma, Visnu, and Siva. Although Maharastra is the heartland of Dattatreya devotion, his presence is attested to throughout India and extends beyond the boundaries of... Read More

Philosophy and Theistic Mysticism of the Alvars
The god-intoxicated twelve Vaisnava Saints of South India popularly known as Alvars, who lived between the fifth and eighth centuries A.D. represent a significant phase of Vaisnava Philosophy and Religion which provided a solid foundation for the development of the system of Visistadvaita Vedanta in the hands of Ramanuja and his illustrious successors. They have bequeathed a rich heritage for posterity in the form of four thousand devotional Tamil hymns collectively known as Nalayira-Divyaprabandham, replete with philosophical and theological teachings. This book attempts to present these teachings as contained in the original hymns in a systematic manner against the background... Read More

कृष्ण स्वयं काव्यम्,Krishna as Poetry
The romantic Krishna finds a textual presence for the first time in the Bhagavata Purana and then for a thousand years we celebrate that Krishna through heart-throbbing poetry. Krishna is indeed both the kavi and the kavya, rasa and rasika, the shabda and the artha, He is Purusha and Prakriti. Krishna dances and frolics, speaks and sings, and shringara in its many colours comes alive for us through kavya. We are the gopis of Vrindavana, the nayikas of Ritikavya as Krishna comes alive not through religious rites and rituals but through the joy of poetry and painting and we acclaim... Read More
