The basic Sutras expounding the system are by Siva himself, followed by Parasurama Gaudapada and others: but like Sankaracarya in the realm of Vedanta whose basis lay in the Upanisads, the person who made the system... |

Divine Songs of Sage Poet Ramprasad |
$25.99 $18.19 |
|
| 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),... |

The Bijak of Kabir |
$14.95 $10.47 |
|
| 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... |

A Hundred Devotional Songs of Tagore |
