The Torana in Indian and Southeast Asian Architecture
The present work discuses in depth the subject of toranas (arched portals or festoons) in the ancient and medieval architecture of South- and South-east Asia, with special emphasis on Indian representations.

Time in Indian Culture –Diverse Perspectives
Time pervades the Indian psyche: its presence is both experienced and debated in this tradition. Kala is a word which is familiar to most Indians and is used variously to mean time personified, time as death, time as the supreme reality, time as a cycle, time as the appropriate moment, time as destiny and so forth. A number of other words like samaya, rtu, vela, akasa, ksana, muhurtta, ghadi, etc. are used either to refer to time or to its different aspects. While kala is the generic expression for time, it occurs only once in the Rgveda, and that too... Read More

Political Thought In Ancient India
Ancient Indians were a highly organized polity, with a well-established worldview of the Rajya (the State). And also of its seven distinct organs: svamin (the king), amatyas (the ministers), janapada/rastra (the territory and the people), durgas/pura (the forts / capital), kosa (the treasury), danda/bala (the army), and mitra tatha niti (the allies and inter-state relations). In their togetherness, these components of the state led political ideologues to advance the Theory of Saptanga: the 'seven limbs' each of which admitted varying emphases with ancient scholars, according to the changing political situations or their own predilections. Besides traditional/ semi-historical writings, the... Read More

Classical Samkhya: An Interpretation of its History and Meaning
The tradition of Samkhya is one of the oldest and most influential in the intellectual history of India. The fundamental notions of Samkhya namely prakrti, purusa, buddhi, ahamkara, manas and the three gunas provided the conceptual framework in which much of Indian philosophizing occurred and the classical formulations of Yoga and Vedanta together with many traditions of Buddhist philosophy and meditation developed vis-a-vis the intellectual perspective of the Samkhya. Similarly, on a general cultural level, the influence of Samkhya was profound and important over many centuries in such areas as law, medicine, ancient science and mathematics, logic, mythology, cosmology and...

The Practical Sanskrit-English Dictionary
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
