Healing The Future |
$14.49 $10.14 |
|
| It sounds crazy in these ‘physical' times, yet is a fact that the greatest possibilities of body-cure lie in our ability to ‘forget' the body. As we gradually lose body-consciousness—identifying more and more with the spirit—physical disability and mental trauma wear off on their own. To practise yoga is to climb from body to mind, and from mind to spirit. Healing (literally, to make whole), is then much more than riddance from physical imperfections. It is the... |

| Our knowledge of Indian society during British rule in the nineteenth century has rested primarily on the voluminous records of the East India Company, the works of various Europeans, the writings of many civil servants of the Company and the accounts of Indians writing in this period. Interesting first-hand and very useful alternative sources are writings of Indians produced on request or assignment by company administrators. Such accounts are by no means readily available; they were probably... |

Cultural Interface of India With Asia |
$145.00 $101.50 |

| The reality of the Indian presence in Asian cultures is undeniable. Recent scholarship in the field of Asian cultural studies has laid much stress on the essential oneness of the substratum that defines what may be termed as an Asian identity. Buddhism and Hinduism, having originated in India, travelled beyond the frontiers of the land of their origin, and in many ways, moulded the beliefs and faith of the people of Asia. Trade, political ambitions, and religious pursuits led to a dissemination... |

Vedic Beliefs and Practices (2 vols.) |

| The Vedic ritual reasonings (arthavada-s) glorifying the Vedic rites and rituals and initially springing from the 'sacred' tradition, bring directly or indirectly with them the beliefs and practices prevalent in the then Vedic society. At times are indicated in them the 'avedic' beliefs and practices. The arthavada-s thus bear relation to the 'secular' or profane tradition.

| These discoveries establish the Alampur temples to be the proto-types originated and developed by the Chalukyas in their hegemony at Aihole, Pattadakal and Badami in Karnataka, independently of any proximate Gupta influence.
Also, importantly, by the transmission of influences through the political incursions of the Chalukyan kings into the Kalinga territory (historic orissa), its famed temples at Mukhalingam were mediately derived. |

The Udgitha Upasana, looking apparently as some activity, leads the upasaka 'worshipper' to unity or oneness with the Udgitha which is nothing else then the Brahman.

| The English version of the poetry of Sufi: Hazrat Inayat Khan reflects his deep love for these outpourings of the heart and his affection for his peers on the Path. The English rendering is typcal of the outgoing Victorian age. But even today its devotional nature and blossming description seem to be apt to the rich flowering of the Urdu original.

The Playworld of Sanskrit Drama |

| The `Playworld of Sanskrit Drama` is the `poetic universe` (kavyasam) posited by Anandavardhana and other poeticians. Each of the seven plays studied here - works of Bhasa, Kalidasa, Sudraka, and Visakhadatta- provides us with a different angle of approach to the crucial issues of kavya, and their fundamental ambivalence, which cannot be understood or even delineated by the conventional approach to Indian aesthetics.

However, even though intuition is natural and necessary for human knowledge and understanding, it is not viewed with favour by many thinkers around the world. The reason is that, in general, it has been taken to be a nondiscursive form or... |

| In Thinking and Destiny, something new, although older than time, is now made known to the world--about Consciousness. The information is largely about the makeup of the human, where man comes from, what becomes of him; it explains what thinking is; it tells how a thought is created, and how thoughts are exteriorized into acts, objects and events, and how they make his destiny. Destiny is thus shown to be self-determined by thinking; and the process of re-existence and the after-death states... |
