Bhaja Govindam : Follow Your Heart
Author:
Chandrika
|
|
Adi Sankara’s Bhaja Govindam is a little collection of thirty-one verses in Sanskrit by the saint and scholar Adi Sankaracharya and his disciples. Also known as Moha Mudgara or The End of Illusion, the verses look at the eternal question of man’s quest for happiness in a world that is transient and filled with delusions. Sankara in clear and lucid language, (probably the simplest Sanskrit text available) speaks of man’s weaknesses – lust, anger, greed and attachment – and the steps needed to overcome them. Our present translation includes stories from the vast repertoire of wisdom literature across a wide spectrum of spiritual traditions. It also contains an exhaustive biography of Adi Sankara himself, his contribution to Hinduism and a chapter on the relevance of Bhaja Govindam today. |

Atma-Siddhi : In Search of the Soul
Author:
Chandrika
|
|
Atma Siddhi (In Search of the Soul) is a 142 verse philosophical poem, a dialogue between the master and the pupil, on the subject of the soul and its journey through this world of material manifestations. Written in lyrical and lucid Gujarati, by the great Jain saint, Srimad Rajchandraji, it is as relevant today, as when it was first written more than a hundred years ago. A contemporary of Gandhiji, Srimadji was considered by the Mahatma to be his spiritual mentor. Attaining enlightenment at an unbelievably young age of 32 years, Srimadji, remains, even today, one of those iconic spiritual teachers, who balanced, with ease and grace, the life of a householder with that of a sage. |

Understanding Ramayana as Rama Within
Author:
G. L. Narayan
|
|
Understanding Ramayana as Rama Within is an attempt at enacting the Ramayana using the body – both the physical and the metaphysical ones – as the stage. With Ravana representing the ego, Laksmana the body, Sita the mind, and Ram the soul, the book traces the spiritual journey from the outward to the inward. It speaks of the divinity that is man. With vibrant paintings and colour plates, the book is as much a visual treat as it is an intellectual delight. |

Devi's Emerald
Author:
Ruzbeh Nari Bharucha
|
|
Devi’s Emerald is at once a biographical account and a spellbinding story, a homage to a spiritualist and a plea for faith. It delves into the lives of those who have witnessed and experienced the love of Ma Mookambika – the Universal Mother – and Swamiji. It narrates the experiences of his countless devotees. Most of all, with humour and sassiness, the book celebrates the grandest of all miracles – the resurrection of belief. |

Author:
Jayandra Soni

Vasantagauravam is a collection of fifteen essays on the many facets of Jaina philosophy, and its practice, particularly in South India, between the second and the thirteenth century. Drawing from archaeological findings and ancient texts, it covers a range of topics – from Ajitasenacarya’s status in the sect to the patronage extended by the Kasamba, Calukya and Hoysala dynasties to the rise of women ascetics in the Jaina tradition. Furthermore, it looks west, and studies the occidental scholar’s perception of Jain thought. With its objective analyses and valuable insights, the book is certain to enthrall spiritualists and seekers. |
