The Bijak of Kabir |
$14.95 $8.97 |
|
| Kabir was an extraordinary poet whose works have been sung and recited by
millions throughout North India for half a millennium. He was perhaps illiterate
(I don't touch ink or paper, this hand never grasped a pen), and he preached an
abrasive, sometimes shocking, always uncomprising message exhorting his audience
to shed their delusions, pretensions and empty orthodoxies in favour of an
intense, direct personal confrontation with truth.
The Bijak is one of the most important... |

ancient Chinese classic. Offers the essence of each word and makes Lao Tsu's
teaching immediate and alive.
Scholars say that the original Tao Te Ching is a poem.

A Hundred Devotional Songs of Tagore |
$11.95 $7.17 |
|
| Devotion is dedication of the self to the All Serene. To Rabindranath
Tagore, it is more than mere dedication. It is a vrata to be in perfect unison
with the Vratapati, the Lord of askance in sincerity, purity and poignance.
To be christened with the spirituality of Tagore in the most intrinsic and poignant pattern is to muse and re-muse his devotional songs, and in doing so, one cannot but discover within oneself the lotus-land of spiritual excellence. Indeed, somewhere in the heartland... |

Divine Songs of Sage Poet Ramprasad |
$25.49 $15.29 |
|
| Ramprasad Sen was born in the second decade of the eighteenth century in Halishahar in (then) Bengal. He was a great saint in Shakta cult. But, he was too a natural poet and composer.
The songs are hymns to Goddess Mother Kali couched in rustic words and symbols of everyday life. Yet, most of this symbolism is a rare mosaic of the occult mystery of Tantrashastra and carry a double meaning. Thus, flying kites, the blind ox trudging routine endless circles of the village oil-machine (ghaani),... |
