Sacred Books of the East, by F Max Muller

About the Book:
In the age when the right to learn the Vedic literature was confined to only a particular class, Lord Krishna conveyed the gist of knowledge enshrined in our scriptures to Arjuna through the divine message called the GITA.
Thus He made this supreme knowledge accessible to all classes of the society.
In this sense the Gita is a revolutionary creation of its age and for all the ages.

About the Author:
He has published books-articles on subjects like spiritualism, psychology etc. His deep knowledge of spiritualism and yoga won him the VIshwa Yoga Sammelan 1986 award and the title YOGARATNA.

This interpretation of the Gita is culmination of his deep study and thinking.

About the Book:
This book makes an initial investigation into T`ien-t`ai Chih-i`s masterpiece The Profound Meaning of the Lotus Sutra in an endeavor to unravel his systematic approach to elaborating Buddhism and his Buddhist philosophy in religious salvation. This book is divided into two volumes. Volume one concentrates on the uniqueness of the Hsuan-i<-i> and Chih-i`s achievements in the Hsuan-i<-i>. As the embodiment of Chih-i`s own philosophy, the coherent and integrated nature of his text fully displays his perfect and harmonizing philosophy. Closely related to the first volume is the second volume of this book. In order to make the assessment of Chih-i`s system, thoughts and achievements comprehensible in the context of the Hsuan-i<-i>, volume two launches an unprecedented exploration of this gigantic text Hsuan-i<-i>, giving a delineation of the whole work by outlining, explaining and analyzing its complicated structure, its rich content, and its sophisticated theories. The textual study of this book brings into light a new perspective of understanding the depth of Chih-i`s philosophy, and contributes to the field of study of T`ien-t`ai Buddhism.

The three volumes of the historical part of the Akbarnama<-i> have been translated by Mr. H. Beveridge, I.C.S., with an introduction, explanatory notes and an index at the end. The translation has been made from the Bibliotheca Indica edition of the text in consultation with several manuscripts in the British Museum, the Indian office and the Royal Asiatic Society?s Library.

Should we not be grateful to Allamah Abul Fazl<-i> for the Akbarnama<-i> which he wrote eloquently over so many years till he was murdered by Jehangir, Akbar?s unworthy son? Where should we have looked for a knowledge of many important facts of Indian history, its culture, tradition, had there been no Akbarnama<-i>? These three volumes cover the period from 1542 A.D. to 1605 A.D.

Bhagat Singh Revisited, by Chander Pal Singh

Gul-Badan Begam (Princess Rose-Body) was a daughter of Zahru-d-din Muhammad Babar, in whom were united the lines of highest Central Asian Aristocracy - namely, that of Timur the Turk, through his son Miran-Shah and that of Chinghiz, the Mughal, through his son Changhatai.

The little history which is reproduced in the book has few, if any, compeers in as much as it is the work of a lady and lights up her woman`s world. The book is its sole witness, for no one speaks of it. It is not literature, but a simple setting down of what she knew or had heard, for the help of Akbarnama. This was not her only composition, for she followed the fashion of her day and wrote verses.

Beyond Bokhara, by Garry Alder

Ancient India (Bharat) has been historically too defaced beyond recognition for her children to know their lofty cultural heritage. This was the political mischief of the Western colonists, particularly the British, with their agenda to infuse ethnic inferiority complex in Indian psyche, so that European culture looks superior.

The book, as based on irrefutable documented evidences, has made a modest attempt to expose their dirty agenda and un-earthen related historical truths which have been misconceived, misrepresented and distorted.

Humanisn is an approach in academic discipline, philosophy or practice. It focuses on human values and concerns. In philosophy, humanism is a perspective which affirms some notion of human nature, and is contrasted with anti-humanism. It stresses the unity and compatibility of the truth found in all philosophical and theological schools and systems and emphasizes the dignity of human person. The book highlights the importance of the value of humanism practised and propagated by Christianity which is fully committed to human liberation and emancipation. This book is an integration of humanist ethical ideals with religious beliefs which centre on human needs, interests and abilities.

Rajbir Deswal, has a tender heart but possesses a consummate penâ??prerequisites for anyone seeking to fly on the wing of poesy. His poems are all full of distilled and practical wisdom. He doesnâ??t lose sight of Nature around abounding in bounties that generally go unsung and unheeded. His philosophical detachment is obtaining despite his peek into a world of spirituality throughout his present work. Gainsaid then that the philosophical side of â??My Own Khajurahoâ?? conveying a message to celebrate nothingness taken in the stride should not go unheeded.

This book deals in depth understanding of multifold dimensions of abstract sciences as conceived and perceived by the self analysis and from valuable sayings and quotations of many spiritually evolved and self realized divine personalities of the world from their rare classical universal wonderful contributions, which evolved the author`s thinking and created the spikes of silence in the author`s deep contemplation.

Baarishein Girti Rahin, by Rajbir Deswal `Aamil`

The Mohammedan period of Indian history is an invasion of the Turks into the immemorial systems, rule and customs of Ancient India. The period ends when one of the last of these Muslim rulers, oppressed by of Hindu ascendency, placed himself under English protection and Modern India came into being. Ancient India was too deeply rooted in its traditions to wither even under the storm of the Muslim conquest. The old Indian life survived the shock of the new ideas and it outlived the Muslim period. But little altered in the modern Age of English domination. The history of the Mohammedan period is, therefore, necessarily more a chronicle of kings and courts and conquests than of organic or national growth. As a source it is invaluable, and the present book owes an immense debt of it; indeed, no modern historian of India can afford to neglect it.

Linguistic Survey of India, by George A Grierson

During a very important period of the history of the Sikhs, the author of the book - Cunningham spent eight years of his service from 1838-1846 in close contact with them. The result of his eight years residence was to give him a great insight into the history of the Sikhs and to inspire in him a partiality which is only too clearly visible in his handling of the events leading up to the outbreak of hostilities with the British. The whole book bears evidence of most meticulous care, and the voluminous footnotes show the breadth and variety of author`s study.

Indeed, as the result of certain strictures upon the policy of the government of India in dealing with Gulab singh Jammu, the author was dismissed from his employment from the political department and sent back to regimental duty. The principal object in writing this history has not always been understood, the Author`s main endeavour was to give Sikhism its place in the general history of humanity, by showing his connection with different creeds of India, by exhibiting it as a natural and important result of the Muhammadan conquest, and by impressing upon the people of England the great necessity of attending to the mental changes in progress.
