The idea of writing this book was in my mind while I was interested in the study of Buddhism at Taisho University, Tokyo. Then I had a chance to study as an India Cultural Scholarship Student in 1959 and Joined the Department of Buddhist Studies, at Delhi University. I study the Buddhist scriptures written in Sanskrit, Pali, and Tibetan. There were many names of Bhikkhus, Bhikkhunis, lay-followers, and names of towns, mountains, and rivers which I never had seen with my eyes. During my three-year stay in India I visited almost all Buddhist excavated sights, read books, and talked with... Read More
English, 158 Pgs. (HB)Badarayanavyasa's 'Brahmasutra' is universally recognized as the manual of Vedanta philosophy i.e. the quintessence of vedas.

Sanskrit & English, 1038 Pgs. (HB)A vast literature available in the form of Puranas stands next to the Vedas, in importance and popularity. It envisages to popularize the precepts, morals and values, propounded in the Vedas, the Upanisads, the Epics, and the Dharmasastras. It not only succeeded in its mission, but also in completely revitalizing and revolutionizing, and modernising the Vedic religion. Later and modern Hindu religion is an offshoot of the Puranic religion. The path of devotion and worship propounded in Vedic literature as against the path of ritualistic exercises was followed more vigorously in the Puranas. Thus, the Puranas freed Hinduism from the...

Sanskrit 382 Pgs. (HB)Matsyapurana ka Pratimashastriya Vivechan" by Deenbandhu Pandey is a scholarly work focused on the Matsya Purana, one of the eighteen Mahāpurāṇas in Hindu tradition.

Sanskrit & Hindi, 145 Pgs. (HB)The book presents a comparative study of some Vedic elements such as deities, mantra-s, rituals, myths etc., reflected in the Purana-s. Purana-s, the literature of the masses, attempt at the re-statement of the meaning of the Vida-s in their own style. In doing so, they resort to additions, omissions, simplifications and modifications; yet the main stream is never lost sight of. Well considered arrangement of the chapters and two appendices, giving a bird's eye-view of the position of the Vedic mantra-s in the Purana-s, special features of the book. It is hoped that this seminal work, presenting a comparative angle,... Read More
