The Art of Ancient India: Buddhist, Hindu, Jain
The Art of Ancient India: Buddhist, Hindu, Jain
To scholars in the field, the need for an up-to-date overview of the art of South Asia has been apparent for decades. Although many regional and dynastic genres of Indic art are fairly well understood, the broad, overall representation of Indiaês centuries of splendor has been lacking. The Art of Ancient India is the result of the authorês aim to provide such a synthesis. Noted expert Sherman E. Lee has commented: –Not since Coomaraswamyês History of Indian and Indonesian Art (1927) has there been a survey of such completeness.” Indeed, this work restudies and reevaluates every frontier of ancient Indic art _ from its prehistoric roots up to the period of Muslim rule, from the Himalayan north to the tropical south, and from the earliest extant writing through the most modern scholarship on the subject.
This dynamic survey-generously complemented with 775 illustrations, including 48 in full color and numerous architectural ground plans, and detailed maps and fine drawings, and further enhanced by its guide to Sanskrit, copious notes, extensive bibliography, and glossary of South Asian art terms-is the most comprehensive and most fully illustrated study of South Asian art available.
The works and monuments included in this volume have been selected not only for their artistic merit but also in order to both provide general coverage and include transitional works that furnish the key to an all encompassing view of the art.
An outstanding portrayal of ancient Indiaês highest intellectual and technical achievements, this volume is written for many audiences: scholars, for whom it provides an up-to-date background against which to examine their own areas of study; teachers and students of college level, for whom it supplies a complete summary of and a resource for their own deeper investigations into Indic art; and curious readers, for whom it gives a broad-based introduction to this fascinating area of world art.

Forms of the Goddess Lajja Gauri in Indian Art
Forms of the Goddess Lajja Gauri in Indian Art
To convey her majesty, the painters who created Lajja Gauri’s portraits drew on a plethora of traditional symbols of prosperity, fertility, and life-force. Due to the lack of supporting texts, the research begins with the items themselves and works backwards to establish their meaning. To better understand Lajja Gauri’s rich symbolic meaning and cultural background, Carol Bolon traces the evolution of the goddess’s shape over the course of four centuries, including its likely acceptance from tribal worship into Hindu temples

The Art of India Through the Ages: Traditions of Indian Sculpture Painting and Architecture: With 180 Illustrations in Colour and Monochrome
The visual arts of India have been underappreciated for centuries, despite the fact that Europeans were the first to discover and study their poetry and philosophy in India over a century ago. While ‘Sakuntala’ and ‘The Sermons of Buddha’ were regarded as literary masterpieces on par with those of Sophocles and Plato, the Indian arts were viewed as a visual supplement to the study of religion or anthropology in a faraway land, one that was enigmatic, sensual, and exotic.
The finding that Indian art has a suitable position in the history of art had still to be made. This book is the first of its kind in the field, therefore there is no need to worry about hyperbole.
As a result of researchers’ inability to demonstrate that Indian sculpture and building had the same artistic worth as Greek sculpture and mediaeval churches, this is what has occurred
The book’s 180 images serve as a visual tour of Hindu and Buddhist art in India.
Many of these pictures, many of which have never been seen before, were taken over the course of extended travels and years of intensive investigation This collection includes intricate temple structures, gracefully swaying bronze statues, magnificent rock-hewn representations of gods and monsters, murals, artistic reliefs, massive statues and busts, etc. It is likely that students will find the comprehensive images of buildings and sculptures (some of which were taken in extremely challenging conditions) as well as the eight colour reproductions of paintings, which augment the monochrome, photogravures, particularly valuable.₹2,500.00 -
Inscriptions of Orissa (Vol. 1): (Vol.I: Circa Fifth-Eight Centuries A.D.)
Inscriptions of Orissa (Vol. 1): (Vol.I: Circa Fifth-Eight Centuries A.D.)
The present volume inscriptions of orissa, the result of the intellectual labour, covers a subject
of immense value for those interested in the reconstruction of ancient and
mediaeval history and culture of Orissa, the major part of which is still
in darkness. Based on the original documents in the form of copper plate
and stone records, discovered from different parts of Orissa, it presents
almost a complete picture of the history and culture of the period (C.A.D.
5th-8th century A.D.) in Orissa as part of the wider scene that obtained in
the Indian sub-continent.
The volume deals with as many as sixty valuable epigraphic records that
fall within the period set for the book which have been divided into five
sections along with an extensive introductory analysis of the texts studied
from various aspects. It presents a chronologically classified list of
inscriptions which are of undoubted historical importance. In its
originality of materials and the manner of presentation, the volume is sure
to remain a source book for the research scholars in this field of their
study.

Inscriptions of the Sarabhapuriyas, Panudvamsins and Somavamsins (2 Vols.)
Inscriptions of the Sarabhapuriyas, Panudvamsins and Somavamsins (2 Vols.)
This work is a product of the Inscriptions of India Programme of the Indian Council of Historical Research undertaken with a view to making inscriptions dating from circa sixth to fourteenth century a.d. available in handy volumes. Part I studies the inscriptions of the Sarabhapuriyas, Panduvamsins and Somavamsins who played a major role in shaping the destinies of the Chhattisgarh region of Madhya Pradesh (Kosala) and the adjoining region of Orissa from about the sixth to the early twelfth century a.d. It provides a background to the study of the inscriptions by attempting to deal with their formal aspects like the format, palaeography, language, orthography, contents and methods of dating and to trace, for the first time, the evolution of their draft. Dharmasastra injunctions regarding the preparation of deeds of land-grants and their actual epigraphic parallels have also been discussed at length. The work sheds welcome light on the chronology and history of the region during the period in question and offers several original suggestions basing on fresh discoveries and new interpretation of known records. With its many interesting features, the work will surely be found enlightening by students and researchers delving deep into early Indian history and epigraphy.

Indian Epigraphical Glossary
Indian Epigraphical Glossary
The interested world of scholars is sure to receive with gratitude this
latest work from the erudite pen of Prof. D.C. Sircar who has opened up for
us new vistas in the study of Indian antiquities. Prof. Sircar’s Indian
Epigraphical Glossary, characterised by a wide sweep of vision based on a
meticulous attention to details, is a contribution of the utmost
importance. Here one finds an embarras de richesses in a comprehensive
dictionary of technical expressioins found in documents embracing nearly
2000 years in time and the entire Indian sub-continent in space and written
in a variety of languages. It offers a panorama of Indian political and
cultural life as enshrined in a series of expressions which are precise and
historically important. Many of them remained obscure, and Prof. Sircar,
with his thorough knowledge of the subject in the study of which he has
spent a life-time, has succeeded in most cases in giving quite satisfactory
interpretations. The mass of material in this invaluable publication, which
will continue to be an indispensable work of reference for many years to
come, brings in a volume of lexical material for the compilation of an
exhaustive Dictionary of Sanskrit. The importance of the work, which I
would consider epoch-making in the domain of Indology, has been
considerably enhanced by three remarkable Appendices.

From Mind to Super Mind: A Commentary on Bhagavad Gita
The message of the Gita has an important and a practical bearing on the problems of the modern age. It shows a way out of the complexities of the mind to complete and unfettered freedom of the Super-Mind. This path is not meant only for the few, it can be trodden by all who seek freedom from life’s entanglements. In an age where the individual is becoming more and more insignificant due to the impacts of political, economic and social forces, the Gita brings to man a message of hope and cheer, for it shows a way of life which leads to the regaining of his lost significance, and the spiritual regeneration of man is indeed the way to the creation of a happy society.

Astavakragita: The Song of the Self Supreme
Astavakragita (The Song of the Self Supreme) contains the Sanskrit text of Astavakragita (both in Nagari and Roman script), its English translation, Exegesis and Glossarial Index. It presents in twenty chapters the substance of Astavakra’s teaching in respect of the Cosmic Self in the form of his dialogue with Janaka, the seer-king of Videha. The teaching is based on the Upanisadic creed of Absolute monism (Advaitavada) that identifies the Self with the non-dual Ultimate Reality. But the contribution of Astavakra is also immense, for he has introduced the element of emotional experience or the mystical feeling as the means for realizing the non-dual nature of the Self. Written in a lucid style and dealing systematically with the subject matter, the book will hold a unique position among the contemplative classics of the world.

Bhagavad Gita: The Dialogue between Sri Krishna and Arjuna: Including Introduction, Sanskrit Text, Roman Transliteration, English Translation and Commentaries
Fraught with feelings of self-doubt and hopelessness, a great warrior collapses in self-defeat, posing questions for his charioteer, just before the immense battle begins on the plain of Kuruksetra. It is as if there was an interruption of the epic story of the Mahabharata, which pauses dramatically for the dialogue between the teacher, Sri Krishna, and his disciple, Arjuna, which is known as the Bhagavad Gita. This dialogue has been handed down as part of the oral Vedic tradition in an unbroken line of knowledge for more than 5000 years. And despite such antiquity, Arjuna’s questions remain just as relevant today, because the human sense of insufficiency and desire for fulfillment are timeless. Fortunately for Arjuna and all of us, the solution is also timeless. Sri Krishna teaches him the knowledge about the ultimate truth of the Self, the essential nature of the human being, covering the topics of dharma (appropriate action to fulfill what must be done) and yoga (to do so unmoved by the results of such action) while keeping a vision of Isvara (the Cause and the Order that is the Universe) to attain moksha, final liberation from the human sense of limitation. With an unwavering dedication to the original Sanskrit and the tradition of Advaita Vedanta, Gloria Arieira unfolds the beauty and clarity of the message that is the Bhagavad Gita the very knowledge of the Self that removed Arjuna’s confusion, allowing him to rise to his feet once again.

The Bhagavad-Gita: The Song of God: Original Sanskrit text & Roman Transliteration, A lucid english rendition,
The Gita is a song-not just any song, but a very special song, the song of God-sung by the
Divine Being of infinite consciousness to His most beloved devotee, Arjuna. Arjuna in Sanskrit means clear white light, the brightness and clarity, the name of the man who manifested the clarity of pure devotion by which the Lord’s wisdom may be heard, and by which the universal form may be perceived. And what a song it is! A symphony of soul’s longing for divinity, of the search for clarity, the explanations of yoga-what constitutes divine union, and how one gets there. No
subject of spiritual evolution remains neglected by the Gita.
The Gita has been translated into more languages than any other literary work. In English
alone there are more renditions than can be counted. Each one has its own character, each one
a slightly different analysis. Some are poetic, some philosophical, some dogmatic, some universal.
This translation by Dr. Prasad is just beautiful-so simple and clear. He uses just enough sanskrit to convey the majesty and beauty of the language and the intensity of the dialogue, and yet does not leave the reader dumbfounded in an unintelligible maze of vocabulary. The universal principle of the philosophy he espouses are filled with poetic grace and style. He captures so much of the Grace of the Gita, even in the prose of English, that the orchestrations of wisdom cannot but help lull our hearts after every chapter.
From Confusion’s first desire to neglect one’s duty or responsibilities, to the infinite vision of
the Lord as a consequence of total surrender to the will of God, Prasad’s rendering takes the
reader from doubts and misgivings to perfect efficiency in all that one undertakes.
The Bhagavad-Gita has the original Sanskrit text with Roman transliteration, and a lucid English rendition. Concise and to the point commentaries on two hundred twenty-seven selected key verses are provided. One hundred thirty three verses are printed in red to enable the first-time readers to study these verses before delving deep into the vast ocean of transcendental knowledge. The teachings of saints and sages of major religious denominations as well as world leaders and scholars have been included. Quotations from the Vedas, Puranas, Upanisads, Smrtis, Ramayana, Mahabharata, Bhakti-sutras, Brahma-sutra, Yoga-sutra, as well as other major scriptures of the world such as the Bible, Dhammapad and Koran have been incorporated to underline the basic unity of all religious thoughts and to promote the universal brotherhood of mankind. Epilogue, references, Sanskrit transliteration and pronuciation guide, glossary and index are provided. A guide to meditation, beautiful pictures and Gita Calisa are included for daily Sadhana.

The Bhagavad Gita: A Transcreation of the song celestial
The Bhagavad Gita is one of the world’s greatest scriptures, the key sacred text of Hinduism. It means the ‘Song of God’ and is often called the ‘Song Celestial’. Alan Jacobs has succeeded in revitalizing the ancient text into a form which reveals the full majesty of the magnificent scriptures as well as its practical message for today’s seekers. The outdated English of Sir Edwin Arnold’s fine poetic translation in 1885 has been trasnsformed and given clear meaning. It has also been expanded to reinforce the poetic imagery using cotemporary free verse based on innovative metaphors. “It is like a great symphony. each chapter relates to the last but leads on to the coda.”

The Social Role of the Gita: How and Why
Although the Bhagavad-gita has traditionally been regarded as a poem of primarily religious significance, Dr. Agarwal shows that with the proper interpretation its message may be ransformed into a set of practical ethical guidelines. This practical aspect of the Gitaês teaching, its insistence that involvement with the world is an ethically correct function of human behaviour, is the focus of this book. That involvement with the worldês is expressed by the term ‘Lokasamgraha’. The term covers a multitude of social and political forms of behaviour and attitudes of mind and is perhaps more central to the meaning the Gita should have for modern man than its traditional other-worldly interpretation.
Dr. Agarwal has examined the various ways in which India has reacted to the impact of many powerful foreign influences over the past two centuries. He has done so by studying the lives and the activities of select Hindu thinkers who through their writings and their ways of life showed their awareness of a need to preserve an Indian identity. All of them undertook to define these differences and thus established their views on what might be acceptable alternatives for India and the Indian genius vis-a-vis those principles and customs that run counter to the Indian tradition. But they were not unanimous in either their conclusions or the strategies they devised for attaining their common goal. The author has concentrated on the role the Bhagavad-gita has played in the lives and works of these thinkers.

Srimad Bhagavad Gita
Srimad Bhagavad Gita presents “The Sermons from the Illustrious Lord Krsna to Arjuna,” compiled by the great ancient seer, Vyasa. Here is a rendering of Srimad Bhagavad Gita into English. While translating from Sanskrit into English, the author has spent about ten years in first realizing and then choosing the exact equivalent English words for translation so that the beauty, substance, meanings, dignity and grace of the original is not disturbed. Though the melody and magic of the verses is difficult to recapture in another medium, yet the author has tried his utmost to bring it in its best. To feel the dignity of phrase and the intensity of utterance, the author has given the text in Roman script so that those who know Sanskrit can enjoy its fullness while pondering over in its original, whereas others who do not know Sanskrit also get a fairly correct idea of the spirit of the poem.

About the Author(s)
Kailash Nath Kalia was born in Talwan (Punjab) and became increasingly interested in Indian philosophy during his active participation in the struggle for Indian independence. In 1950, he joined the Vishveshvaranand Vedic Research Institute (Hoshiarpur, Punjab), serving as its Assistant Director. In 1966 he moved to the United Kingdom and founded the Vivekananda Centre, a charitable organisation whose ethos allied service to spirituality. The Bhagavad Gita was fundamental to the author’s lifelong charitable work and service. He believed that the Gita’s inspirational teachings provided spiritual guidance for the individual and enabled mutual respect and understanding between people. Kailash Nath Kalia passed away on June 23, 1989. This book has been prepared posthumously from the manuscript he left behind. It is hoped that this work will help to disseminate the Gita’s message of universal harmony and spiritual enlightenment and so fulfil his cherished wish. *The author’s proceeds will be donated to charity.*

Tat Tvam Asi (2 Vols.): The Universal Message in The Bhagavadgita
The Bhagavad Gita, a great poem attributed to Rsi Vedavyasa, expounds Vedanta philosophy in the dynamic setting of a battlefield where Lord Krsna reveals the teaching of Vedanta to the warrior-prince Arjuna. The essence of the Gita is to make one realize tat tvam asi. We are the atman or Divinity with an outer covering of the physical body inside which is a subtle body consisting of the mind and the intellect. Unfortunately, we get attached to the body and develop the ego which is the ‘I’ or ‘My’ -ness in us. It makes us believe that our physical body is real. We forget that we are living because of the life force inside us. The life force is the spiritual energy and is known commonly as ‘soul’ or Atman. Tat Tvam Asi is a ‘great Upanisadic sentence’ exhorting us to realize our own divine identity. To realize one’s divine status, to realize the same divine status in all forms manifest in the universe is to realize the oneness of all beings.
