The Hidden Wisdom of the Goddess
The Hidden Wisdom of the Goddess
The Hidden Wisdom of the Goddess is an extended meditation in the form of a novel that follows the Devimahatmya’s basic outline, condensed here and expanded there in freely imaginative ways. In the Devimahatmya the seer Medhas teaches through the language of myth, which cries out for interpretation, because little is spelled out. The Hidden Wisdom to the Goddess communicates the hidden wisdom of the holy man’s teachings simply, directly, and eloquently.
Most of the book consists of newly invented scenes, incidents, and conversations between Medhas and his two disciples, the king Suratha and the merchant Samadhi. As the book progresses, the main characters become fleshed out and take on a life of their own. All the while, the writing probes ever deeper into the mysterious of human existence.

The World Peace Agenda: Based on Shanti-Parva of the Mahabharata
The World Peace Agenda: Based on Shanti-Parva of the Mahabharata
This book presents Shanti-Parva’s peace-messages for consideration by everyone else. With the hope that plenty of purposeful discussion (with an open mind) will be held, to arrive at new proposals which can help bring world peace within the reach of humankind in the twenty-first century. Readers will discover that the peace-promoting messages of Shanti-Parva (when suitably interpreted) have universal appeal even today. These messages envisage the launching of a new peace-initiative, based on the explicit declaration of the Mahabharata verse 12.94.1 that says “wars cannot provide a satisfactory solution to any dispute”, and incorporate several novel features which are summarized in the last chapter of this book.

Vedic Cosmography and Astronomy
Vedic Cosmography and Astronomy
The mysteries of the fifth Canto of the Srimad Bhagavatam have long puzzled students of Vedic cosmography and astronomy. Confronted with a description of the universe that seems much at variance with the information provided by our senses and standard astronomical calculations, foreign observers and even Indian commentators from the middle ages up to the present have concluded that the Bhagavatam’s account elaborated in other Puranas must be mythological. On the other hand the same persons have been much impressed with vedic astronomical treatises the jyotisasastras which provide remarkably accurate measurements of the solar system.

Kali: The Black Goddess of Dakshineshwar
Kali: The Black Goddess of Dakshineshwar
Most major religions–Christianity, Judaism, Islam-do not acknowledge the feminine power of God. Nevertheless, this mysterious feminine power of God strikes a special chord in most people’s hearts. The concept of the Mother Goddess in the West–the meek, ever-loving, patiently suffering female-is very different than the image of Kali in the Hindu pantheon. The Dakshineswar Temple in India is devoted to the worship of Ma Kali, and this book tells you all about the temple and how Kali is worshipped there-here festivals, her daily rituals. You get an insight into mystics who attained God by worshipping Kali, and read about the Godman Sri Ramakrishna, who lived and worshipped there–her festivals, her daily rituals. You get an insight into mystics who attained God by worshipping Kali, and read about the Godman Sri Ramakrishna, who lived and worshipped the live image of Kali at the Dakshineswar Kali Temple. This is a living story, and one of
inspiration.

The Sacred Mountain: The Complete Guide to Tibet’s Mount Kailas
The Sacred Mountain: The Complete Guide to Tibet’s Mount Kailas
Mount Kailas-the most sacred mountain in the world. Uncannily symmetrical, this remote and remarkable peak located in the forbidden land of Tibet might have been built by superhuman hands. It stands out of a primordial hands. It stands out of a primordial landscape: a horizontally stratified plinth thousands of feet high, crowned with a perfect cone of pure snow.
To Hindus it is the Throne of the great god Shiva. Buddhists associate it with Chakrasamvara, a powerful Tantric deity, and with the sage Milarepa, who fought a magic duel there with a shaman priest in ancient times. To the Bonpo, the followers of the indigenous religion of Tibet, it is the giant crystal on which their founder, Thonpa Shenrab, descended to earth from the skies.
For more than a millennium, Buddhist, Hindu and Bonpo pilgrims have been visiting this Throne of the Gods and performing pious cirumabulation around it. John Snelling recounts their difficult and dangerous pilgrimages and analyzes the spiritual significance of Kailas-and of sacred mountains in general. He also retells the tales of the handful of Western travellers who reached Kailas between 1715 and 1949-an exclusive club of intrepid explorers, mountaineers, big game hunters and officials. Then in 1984 the Chinese authorities allowed Westerners freer access; so the tales of a new wave of contemporary travellers have in this completely revised and enlarged edition been added to those of their great precursors.
The new edition of this acclaimed travel book is particularly indispensible for all those wishing to visit Mount Kailas, for it contains a comprehensive Guide for Travellers as well as up-to-date maps. For the armchair traveller there is much to absorb and thrill too-not least the lavish array of photographs, many in colour…
