Description:
Siva Sutras: The Yoga of Supreme Identity by Jaideva Singh
Text of the Sutras and the Commentary Vimarsini of Ksemaraja
The Saiva philosophy of Kashmir is generally called Trika Sastra, because it is philosophy of the triad ñ (1) Siva (2) Sakti (3) Nara ñ the bound soul or (1) para ñ the highest (2) parapara ñ identity in difference and (3) apara ñ difference. The literature of the Trika system of Kashmir falls into three categories, viz., (1) the Agama Sastra, (2) the Spanda Sastra and (3) the Pratyabhijna Sastra. Agama Sastra is considered to be revelation by Siva. It lays down both the principles and practices of the system. The most important Agama of the Trika system was known as the Siva Sutras.
Siva Sutras are considered to be a revealed book of the Yoga: supreme identity of the individual self with the Divine. Here and English translation of the Siva Sutras has been provided, together with an abstract of each sutra, throws a flood of light on the entire system of Saiva Yoga. A glossary of technical terms and index are appended for the convenience of the reader.
Four commentaries on Siva Sutras are available at present, the Vimarsini commentary of Ksemaraja in prose, the Siva-sutra-vrtti by some anonymous author in prose, the Siva-sutra-varttikam by Varadaraja in verse.
The Siva-Sutra-vrtti is so close to Vimarsini that it appears to be either a preliminary draft or a later abstract of the Vimarsini. There is a strong presumption that the author of the Vrtti was Ksemaraja himself.
The aim of this book is basically to introduce the reader to the fundamental principles that Trika Philosophers have enunciated in their philosophical-cum-theological treatises. Such an approach has been adopted deliberately on account of the fact that Trika system of thought, which is very rich in philosophical vocabulary, is hardly known to general public in the manner of Advaita Vedanta of Samkara. Although non-dualistic in orientation, yet it differs radically from the monism of Samkara with regard to the nature of the Absolute and the world. The Trika philosophy rejects the Vedantic view of the Absolute theistically, and so speaks of Paramasiva as being both consciousness and reflective awareness. As such the Absolute freedom, and so the school also is referred to as being that of Freedom. Insofar as the status of the world is concerned, the Trika thinks of it as being extension/emission/reflection of Paramasiva and so is considered to be real. It means that the world, even though a reflection of Paramasiva, is actually Siva itself.
From these main differences it can be discerned that the Trika absolutism is radically different from the one that Samkara has adumbrated. It is hoped that the reader upon reading the book will be able to have the grasp of the main philosophical principles that the Trika has enunciated and developed.
Moti Lal Pandit, trained as a theologian and linguist, has been engaged for last three decades in such dialogic research as would disseminate knowledge concerning the essence of such forms of spirituality as has been enunciated by such major religions as Hinduism, Buddhism and Christianity. The result of this untiring effort has been the publication of such books as, for example, Vedic Hinduism; Philosophy of the Upanisads; Samkara's Concept of Reality; Being as Becoming; Beyond the Word; Transcendence and Negation; Buddhism: A Religion of Salvation; The Trika Saivism of Kashmir; Encounter with Buddhism; and The Disclosure of Being.

DESCRIPTION:
Mahamanav Shri Krishna - A number of texts presenting the biography, green, character and epic of Shri krishna in many languages of the world have been written for many centuries and will continue to be written. In the last fifty years, many able and famous writers of Gujarat have started writing biographies depicting Krishna's life in a modern context. Unfortunately, instead of introducing or interpreting the ancient traditions of Krishna's life in these biographies, these Shabda swamis have blown up balloons of their own imagination. Has added fictional occasions, characters and dialogues that are not in the ancient tradition. One such character writer has made Krishna Madari to explain the occasion of Kaliyadaman. Whatever the literary value of such additions, it is true that such representations are corrupting the ancient traditions instead of making them clear. A humble attempt has been made here to collect the fragments of the scattered tradition in the scriptures of a thousand years ago and present them in an integrated form and to capture the image of the human form of Lord Krishna, the supreme devotee of the Hindus.

Introduction
By the mercy of the most compassionate Sri Gaurasundara this book, Sri Mathura-mahatmya, compiled by Srila Rupa Gosvami, who was one of the associates of Sri Guranga, has been published. It was the utmost desire of Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Gosvami Prabhupada that at least the literatures written by the Gosvamis be printed. Lord Gaurasundara, the deliverer of the fallen souls in this age of Kali, has counted the limb 'residing at Mathura' as one of the five principle limbs of devotional service. Therefore the principle fruit of visiting, circumambulating, and residing at Mathura is the fifth objective of life called love of God. But keeping different qualifications of the devotees in the mind, Srila Rupa Gosvamipada has included various processes of devotional service such as devotional service mixed with karma or jnana by quoting statements from various scriptures. In this way he established that Mathura vanquishes all one's sinful reactions and awards piety and liberation. According to the statement of a Mahajana, citta drdha hana lage mahima-jnana haita- "One's mind becomes fixed by understanding the glories of the Lord," the neophyte devotees' faith will certainly be strengthened by studying this Mathura-mahatmya. There is no doubt that this book compiled by Srila Rupa Gosvamipada under the instruction of Lord Sri Gaurasundara will be highly regarded by the intelligent readers. A life sketch of Srila Rupa Gosvamipada has also been included in this book. Our only goal of life is to receive the dust from the feet of the Vaisnavas who strictly follow the path exhibited by Sri Rupa. If the merciful readers relish this book and shower blessings on us, then our attempt will be successful.

DESCRIPTION:
Written in the early twentieth century, The Dance of Shiva was a remarkable book for its time. It discussed in depth the unique nature of the Indian ethos, understood by so few in the Western world and misinterpreted by so many. A collection of fourteen lectures, these essays on Indian art and culture offer a lucid representation of the
opinions and attitudes held by Indian intellectuals during the British Raj. Ranging from topics such as music during Vedic times, Indian attitudes towards family, women and love, analyses of the symbolism of Nataraja and the many-armed gods of India, to the Indian concept of beauty, The Dance of Shiva is an effervescent account of the Indian experience through the ages.
