A number of living creatures are nicely depicted in this beautiful Madhubani painting. The painting shows the symbiotic relationship between different animals, how one is dependent on other. The painting also shows the peaceful co-existence of various species. Madhubani painting, also known as Mithila Art as this genre is centred around Mithila region of Bihar, is marked by line drawings filled in by bright colours and contrasts or patterns. Though traditionally done by the women folk of the region, nowadays men are also involved in the process. These are basically tribal art which are marked by the application of strong earthly colours. Madhubani paintings are done with mineral pigments prepared by the artists. The work is done on freshly plastered or a mud wall. But nowadays, to meet the growing commercial demand, such paintings are also done on paper, cloth and canvas.

500 years of innovation from brillant minds

Whose idea was it to have machines that spit money?
Did the inventor of Semtex – the notorious explosive of choice for terrorist groups around the world – regret his discovery?
Where will the world be without GPS?

Many things we take for granted today – the ability to live without fearing the attack of deadly viruses or getting in touch with a loved one who lives in another part of the world with a flick of a button – are the results of the toil and tears of many men and women over the years. Thanks to those brilliant minds and their amazing inventions, the mankind was able to make a giant leap into the modern world we live in today.

World’s Greatest Inventions recounts the 500year saga of innovation that has shaped the world we live in, from the first pocket watch to the latest nanotechnology. Arranged chronologically, each invention is placed in its historical context. Inside these pages you will meet the people involved, and discover their ingenuity and persistence, their triumphs and tragedies.

David Ellyard has a clear and compelling understanding of how new ideas and innovative technology are transforming our present lives and our common future. This comes from a life deeply involved in science, technology and innovation; as a researcher (including a year in Antarctica), teacher, radio and TV broadcaster, successful author and Government policy adviser. He is a great believer in making science relevant, of putting it in a context.

Description:

‘Decoding Karl is akin to understanding electricity: simply cannot be done. Its effects, though, may be felt and described. That’s what you may encounter here in Worry And Be Happy.
It’s the welcome release from needing any release which makes Karl’s display of ‘the audacity of hopelessness’ in this book so enchanting and endearing.
If you believe you have ‘made it spiritually’ it may be worthwhile to test your ‘understanding’ through an encounter with Karl. Honestly though, in such a situation, he is not the kind of guy you would particuiarly enjoy meeting! In the now overcrowded world of sagely Advaita gurus dishing out profound insights into our real nature, Karl stands out as a sore thumb. Like a drunken Kung-Fu master, Karl, in his crazy off-balance style, mocks and punctures the validity of these insights - displaying unshakable balance!
With sparkling and soothing humour, Karl mesmerizingly rips through anything and everything that can be ripped through, to the mixed dismay and wonder of onlookers. And underlining it all is an unmistakable unshakability. In fact, it is this effortless unshakability which manifests through Karl that draws seasoned seekers to him. They flock to him either through resignation or a renewed desire for a breakthrough. Thankfully, once there, neither seems to matter!

The beautiful Gond painting depicts three tribal women worshipping the nag god (snake god) with great reverence and respect. The snake god is a popular deity for the Gond people and he is painted black whereas the three tribal women are painted red, pink and black on acrylic.

The Hindu women devotees all over the country with devotion and respect worship Shivlinga. The painters of Mithila have created one of the finest specimens of artistic excellence in the form of the painting. The painting has reflected the love of the folk artists for colour and trees around which their lives have been surrounded. Two women have been shown pouring milk on the Shivlinga.

Description:

‘Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi and the Holy Hill of Arunachala are the names given to that Ultimate Truth which is beyond all names and forms. The identity of these two forms as the one Ultimate Truth, the Self, leads us to call Bhagavan ‘Arunachala-Ramana’. He realized not only Arunachala, but every being and everything as His own Self. Arunachala-Ramana had no merely localised experience of ‘I’ as the body-mind complex; He realized the ‘I’ as this universal, all-pervading Self.
The name and form of Arunachala-Ramana is the entry door to realization of this universal, all-pervading Self for spiritual seekers. He has appeared as the Guru to guide them on this journey to the ultimate fulfilment of one’s life to realize the Self.
Those who worship the Holy Hill of Arunachala by per-forming Giripradakshina receive blessings to accelerate reaching their goal to merge with that Self into which Arunachala-Ramana has merged. Arunachala-Ramana has said time again that the Holy Hill of Arunachala waits to respond eagerly and tenderly to even the devotee’s weakest yearning to fulfill the Ultimate Goal of Life.
As Arunachala-Ramana said, He has not gone anywhere, but dwells in devotees’ hearts, and is eternally there as the Self.

The beautiful image of Lord Ganesha is nicely carved out of soft pink stone from Orissa. The Lord of Learning and the Patron Deity of letters and scriptures, is shown writing the epic Mahabharata attentively with his tusk. When Vyasa wanted to compose the Mahabharata, Brahma suggested Him that Ganesha be his scribe. Vyasa agreed and Ganesha brought his broken tusk as a writing quill. Vyasa dictated the entire epic in verse. Ganesha recorded every word for Gods and men alike. Scholars, both mythical and historical, explain that this is so because, before undertaking to do the work, Ganesha stipulated that the dictation should never falter and that he should, at all times, be able to understand what was being said. Thus, it is not strange that such a conscientious god is propitiated by all and sundry.

DESCRIPTION: 

प्रसिद्ध लेखक कमलेश्वर की आत्मकथा के दो खंड प्रकाशित होकर बहुत लोकप्रिय हो चुके हैं। ये एक व्यक्ति से जुड़े होने पर भी अपने-आप में स्वतंत्र हैं और समय के क्रम में मोटे तौर पर ही चलते हैं। तीसरे खंड, 'जलती हुई नदी' की थीम भी एक रहस्यमयी स्त्री से बँधी आरम्भ से अंत तक चलती है। उसी के साथ वे व्यक्तियों और घटनाओं को अपनी विशिष्ट ईमानदारी और बेबाकी के साथ साहित्य, कला और फिल्म की कहानी कहते चलते हैं। बंबई के फिल्म-जगत में प्रतिष्ठित होने वाले कमलेश्वर हिन्दी साहित्य के पहले अग्रणी लेखक थे, और इस दुनिया का चित्रण भी उनका सबसे अलग और विशिष्ट है। ये झांकियाँ बहुत आकर्षक बन पड़ी हैं।
