The Ramayana, from the time immomorial has dominated the Indian religious scene. Right from the age of the sage Valmiki, the poineer in Sanskrit poetry, the theme of Ramayana had such a mass appeal that during the times subsequent to those of Valmiki a number of works on the theme, appeared in the entire length and breadth of the country not only in Sanskrit but also in the regional languages. The work of the Ramayana of Krttivasa happens to be one of them. In the eastern region of the country, Madhava Kandali composed his Ramayana in Assamese language in the... Read More
Engish, 766 Pgs. (HB)The first two khaas of the Brahmavaivarta Puraa (BvP) deal with Brahma and Prakti respectively. Both introduce the theology that enables Ka to be treated as identical to the supreme Brahma and as Viu/ Narayaa in all his forms. Ultimately everything goes back to Ka as the source of power and being, even including the mother goddesses who are so prolific in the text, not just in its second khaa. The fourth and final that treats the mythology of Ka himself, with a focus on his birth, and just before this comes the Gaapatikhaa (GKh). GKh is one of the... Read More

Foreword People have been eating animals since at least the Ice Age, when, some anthropologists say, our early ancestors abandoned a plant-oriented diet in favor of one containing meat.

English, 134 Pgs. (PB)Ayurvedic methods go back thousands of years. You are what you eat is a fact frequently forgotten in the urgency of the modern world. People look for artificial remedies such as antibiotics when causes and cures are so natural, so obvious and so well proven. Within the Ayurvedic tradition, the food regime is a vital aspect. Wholesome meals are to be eaten calmly, followed by a short period of contemplation. Particularly recommended are energy-giving foods known as 'sattvic', such as fresh fruit and vegetables (except root vegetables), whole milk, wheat-based products, rice and vegetable oil. Foods which sap energy, called... Read More
English, 152 Pgs. (PB)This Dictionary has been undertaken to supply a want long felt by the student, of a complete and at the same time cheap Sanskrit-English Dictionary. Very little need, I think, be said with regard to the necessity of bringing out a work like this, when the study of Sanskrit has received such a strong impetus during the last twenty five years. There have been four or five Sanskrit-English Dictionaries published till now; but very few of them fulfill the requirements of students and at the same time being within their easy reach. The Dictionaries of Professors Wilson and Monier Williams... Read More
English & Sanskrit, 1174 Pgs. (HB)Introduction The translator of the Satapatha- Brahmana can be under no illusion as to the reception his production is likely to meet with at the hand of the general reader. In the whole range of literature few works are probably less calculated to excite the interest of any outside the very limited number of specialists, than the ancient theological writings of the Hindus, known by the name of Brahmanas. For wearisome prolixity of exposition, characterised by dogmatic assertion and a flimsy symbolism rather than by serious reasoning, these works are perhaps not equalled anywhere; unless, indeed, it be by the...
