Kalikapurane Murtivinirdesah
Kalikapurane Murtivinirdesah
The Kalikapurane Murtivinirdesah is the ninth volume in the series of the kalamulasastra project. It is a collection of around 550 lines from the Kalika Purana. These verses include a bodily description of a variety of gods, goddesses, and demi-gods, as well as other beings. Some of them are just abstract ideas, while others are embodied as sculptures made of stone and metal.
The Kalika Purana is a significant upa-purana that has been cited as an authoritative source by the smrti digest authors (nibandhakaras) from almost every region of India. The Kalika Purana is a text that was created in ancient Assam (Kamarupa) in the late ninth or early tenth century A.D. Its purpose was to exalt the mother goddess Kamakhya and to offer a ceremonial system for worshipping her. The Kalika Purana focuses mostly on describing the many incarnations of the goddess, along with providing specifics of their iconography, as well as their horses and weapons. Additionally, it discusses the representations of other gods and goddesses that were housed in Kamarupa. In order to provide a comprehensive picture, all of the verses that deal with the gods and are spread out among the many chapters of the Kalika Purana have been collated according to the gods. The Sanskrit verses are presented with an accurate translation of those verses into English.

The Pravargya Brahmana of the Taittiriya Aranyaka: An Ancient Commentary on the Pravargya Ritual
The Pravargya Brahmana of the Taittiriya Aranyaka: An Ancient Commentary on the Pravargya Ritual
A historical commentary on the Pravargya ceremony can be found in Prapathaka 5, which is part of the Taittiriya Aranyaka in the Andhra recension. This commentary, known as the Pravargya Brahmana, is presented here in a translation that also includes annotations. An investigation of the Pravargya ritual is included in the Introduction. This ceremony is referred to as “One of the few rites that have been specifically alluded to in the Rgveda (typically under the term “Gharma”).” The abstract and spiritual character of what is most likely the primary purpose of the ritual – the participants should acquire the lustre of the sun – the straightforward means by which it can be performed, and the manner in which the main implement, the pot which is heated to a red-hot temperature, is worshipped, give it a special place among the vast assortment of Vedic rites. In addition to the translation, the original Sanskrit text of the Pravargya Brahmana of the Taittiriyas has also been provided here. The present work was prepared under the direction of Professor Dr. H.W. Bodewitz (Utrecht), and it is an expansion of an essay that the author wrote as part of the author’s partial fulfilment of the requirement for the degree of “doctorandus” at the University of Utrecht, 1987. This work was prepared under the guidance of Professor Dr. H.W. Bodewitz (Utrecht).

The Book of Hindu Imagery: Gods and Their Symbols
The Book of Hindu Imagery: Gods and Their Symbols
Hinduism is more than a religion; it is a way of ife that has developed over approximately 5 milennia. Its rich and multicultured history, which has no equivalent among the great religions of the world, has made the structure of its mythical and philosophical principles into a highly
differentiated maze, of which total knowledge is a practical impossibility.
This volume cannot offer a complete survey of the meaning of Hinduism, but Eva Rudy Jansen does provide an extensive compilation of important deities and their divine manifestations, so that modern students can understand the significance of the Hindu pantheon.
To facilitate easy recognition, a survey of ritual gestures, postures, attires and attributes as well as an index are included. Over 100 illustrations and several photographs make this book an important
reference, both to the student of Hindu art and the interested amateur.

Hindus must pray daily morning at sunrise and evening at sunset one must have divine communication with God, and ask Him for Light and Guidance in life. Hindu scriptures abound in prayers.

A few simple prayers, will serve our needs beautifully. The only thing we have to constantly keep in mind is the purity of our hearts and sincerity of purpose.

The Sraddha: The Hindu Book of the Dead (A Treatise on the Sraddha Ceremonies)
The Sraddha: The Hindu Book of the Dead (A Treatise on the Sraddha Ceremonies)
Of the sixteen samskaras which encompass a Hindu life the last one is performed for the dead by their sons or grandsons or relatives. Many passages in the Puranas and Dharmasastras extol the role of the son in the life of devout Hindu. The present book deals with the rite of Sraddha and vindicates the popular belief that Sraddha, being an important topic, forms an integral part of Hindu Dharmasastra. The belief in the after-death survival of deceased ancestors and their separate world belongs to the Indo-Iranian period and as such is pre-Vedic. Ancestor-worship for one’s prosperity, continuation of one’s race, is as old as the Rgveda. Preface, Introduction, The Antyesti Samskara, Appendices, Glossary.

Stories Behind Verses
Stories Behind Verses is a remarkable collection of over a hundred anecdotes, each of which captures a story behind the composition of a Sanskrit verse. Collected over several years from various sources with tireless effort by Śatāvadhāni Dr. R Ganesh, these stories took the shape of the Kannada book Kavitegondu Kathe. When this was published in 1996, it was a first of its kind. It gained wide popularity among the critics and the laity not only for its riveting episodes but also for its mellifluous writing.
This book is an English adaptation of Kavitegondu Kathe by Arjun Bharadwaj and Shashi Kiran B N, who have captured the original in both letter and spirit. Witty, romantic, melancholic, provocative, poignant, and profound by turns, Stories Behind Verses will tug your tendermost strings of feeling and stir your emotions.₹287.50Stories Behind Verses

When Did The Mahabharata War Happen
The Mystery of Arundhati
The Mahabharata text contains the history of one of the key events of Indian civilization, viz. The Mahabharata War. The text is a rich depository of customs and culture, science and philosophy of the Mahabharata era. The Mahabharata is the longest epic poem known and consists of over 100,000 shloka and is roughly ten times the length of the Iliad and the Odyssey combined. The Indian tradition calls the text the Pancham (fifth) veda.
It is then natural that numerous attempts have been made to date the events of the Mahabharata war. There are more than 125+ claims, by those many different researchers, for the timing of the Mahabharata war. Unfortunately, majority of these claims are based on either selective evidence or dogmas of AIT/Kaliyuga and show characteristics lack of scientific acumen and logical reasoning. This is precisely the reason why researchers have ended up with 125+ different claims while simultaneously claiming to have employed identical evidence.
What could be the outcome if one can employ all the evidence of the Mahabharata text and test it objectively with the help of science? Is it even possible to accomplish such a thing and arrive at a unified answer?
Nilesh Oak enumerated 215+ specific astronomy and associated observations from the Mahabharata text and tested them with the scientific acumen and logical reasoning to arrive at 5561 BCE as the year of the Mahabharata war.
The book explores unique astronomy observations from the Mahabharata text that decisively falsify 96%+ of all existing claims for the year of the Mahabharata War.₹361.10 -
12209 BCE Rama Ravana Yuddha
Rama Ravana Yuddha
Valmiki Ramayana contains the history of one of the key events of Indian civilization, viz. The Rama-Ravana Yuddha. The Ramayana consists of nearly 24,000 Shloka, divided into seven Kandas and about 500 Sargas. Valmiki Ramayana has the status of the adi-kavya (first poem).
There are 15+ attempts to date the events of Ramayana. Unfortunately, the majority of these claims are based on either selective evidence or dogmas of AIT/Chatur-Yuga cycles and show characteristics lack of scientific acumen and logical reasoning. This is precisely the reason why researchers have ended up with multiple claims while simultaneously claiming to have employed identical evidence.
What could be the outcome if one can employ all the evidence of the Valmiki Ramayana and test it objectively with the help of science? Is it even possible to accomplish such a thing and arrive at a unified answer?
Nilesh Oak enumerated 575+ specific astronomy and associated observations from Valmiki Ramayana and tested them with the scientific acumen and logical reasoning to arrive at 12209 BCE as the year of the Rama-Ravana Yuddha.
