DEMOCRACY WITH DHARMA: THE SUCCESSFUL INDIAN EXPERIMENT
0₹795.00About the Book
India’s democracy evokes strong opinions and reactions, yet the truth rarely fits the extremes. While international observers frequently sound alarms about the direction India is heading, many within India view these judgements as overstated or inattentive to the country’s unique political landscape. Between these contrasting perspectives lies a more measured story— one of a vast, plural society negotiating modern democratic life with all its tensions, traditions, and upheavals through the prisms of religion, caste, ancient dharmic values and its rapid surge ahead on the road to technological advancements and modernity.

DEMYSTIFYING MADRASAH AND DEOBANDI ISLAM: LEGACY AND HISTORY OF DARUL ULOOM DEOBAND
0₹595.00About the Book
Demystifying Madrasah and Deobandi Islam traces the origin, evolution and growth of the Deobandi movement and madrasahs and outlines how Darul Uloom inspired and nurtured scores of such institutions across the globe, guiding millions of Muslims to embrace advancements in education while retaining the pristine form of Islam. Deobandi thought has remained steeped in Indian ethos and culture, embracing its diversity, plurality and universalism and thus differs significantly from the madrasahs in countries like Pakistan and Afghanistan. The book’s in-depth study of Deobandi Islam examines how its leaders contributed to the Indian polity and their role in the Indian freedom struggle. The author reconstructs the history of Deobandism and madrasahs through authoritative information from interviews with prominent Muslim scholars, academicians and religious clerics.

KATHAK LOK : TEMPLE, TRADITION AND HISTORY
0₹750.00About the Book
This book is the result of 7,000 kilometres of travel through North India and five years of untiring field work, investigation and research. The mission was to understand the existence of Kathak villages and what Kathak and ‘Kathak Lok’ represented. Going from village to village, seeing Kathak-s dance in temples, meeting Maharajas, dancers, scholars and swamis, the authors peeled layer upon layer of history. Bit by bit facts revealed themselves, slowly lifting the curtain to a clear and accurate picture. The authors unearth little-known facts of pre-Christian era roots of Kathak and its role in propagating and preserving dharma, over the centuries, which continues as a living tradition today. This book will shatter many popular perceptions—such as the Mughal origins of Kathak or the belief that Kathak is the dance of the courtesans.

RAMAYANA A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF RAMAKATHAS
0₹995.00About the Book
The story of Rama has been a part of our lives for ever and will probably continue to be so…. But most of us are unaware that the story has as many variations as there are versions. In the author’s own words Valmiki’s Ramayana has taken several ‘incarnations’ due to the efforts of many great writers who wanted to bring the story to their own people in their own language. In his book, Professor AA Manavalan, an eminent scholar in the field of comparative literature, has painstakingly made an intensive and analytical study of the Rama story in 48 languages including the folk tradition. Professor Manavalan’s main focus is on how the receiving language’s rendering could make a greater impact than the original in the popular imagination of the people. Ramayana – A Comparative Study of Ramakathas, an English rendition of Ramakaathaiyum Ramayanangalum, presented by CT Indra and Prema Jagannathan, captures the thematic purpose of Prof AA Manavalan’s Tamil original and creates a forum ‘to discuss whether Ramayana is an ethical text or an ideological text’.

SANATANA DHARMA THE PATHWAY TO A HAPPY LIFE
0₹599.00About the Book
With the changing times, we seem to be too engrossed in our silos of individual growth and achievements and tend to ignore or even ridicule tradition. To be Western is the trend, without realising that the philosophical tradition of the West is trying to discover the beauty of Sanatan Dharma—an all-inclusive way of life. From Adi to Anant, Sanatan Dharm is the constant evolution and revelations of human possibilities. It keeps transforming with time to suit the need for existence. It is not rigid. But the moral order underlying existence never changes. When duty becomes a part of consciousness and gets the backing of impeccable philosophy of existence, life becomes much easier. Sanatan Dharm does just that. As we step into this new world, Sanatan Dharm will find increasing resonance with those who wish to understand religion and its purpose in life. This is because Sanatan Dharm is not prescriptive and gives individuals the liberty to be seekers and find their own enlightenment. It rather guides people to attain higher levels of spiritual discovery.

0₹450.00About the Book
What is the essence of Sanatana Dharma? Why has Hinduism endured for millennia, and is it now under threat? Can metaphysical questions like ‘Who am I?’ and ‘Is there a God?’ be answered through personal experience rather than blind belief? In this compelling collection of forty-three thought-provoking articles, Maria Wirth explores the spiritual depth of India’s ancient wisdom traditions, the power of Vedic philosophy, and the relevance of Sanatana Dharma in a modern world rife with ideological conflict. The essays span a wide range of topics—from the Kanwar Yatra and the sacred city of Haridwar, to critiques of religious conversion, violent verses in religious texts, and a powerful letter addressed to the Pope questioning aspects of Christianity.

WORLD RELIGIONS: AN INTRODUCTION
0₹395.00About the Book
Ganga Somany was born a century ago and belonged to another era that believed religion was based on Truth and that simple living and high thinking was a way of life. She was a staunch secularist and an avid follower of Mahatma Gandhi. She wrote this path-breaking book, World Religions thirty-five years ago as a teaching tool for use in school so that children would learn that all religions are based on Truth and that differences, if any, are man-made. In her travels, Ganga found that schools in London would also teach children the rudiments of religion and philosophy—subjects that were not necessarily covered in exams. The book introduces the world’s ten most popular religions through fables and insightful life-sketches of their founders. Colourful illustrations and photographs enhance the reading experience. The book’s aim is to promote peace, contentment, love and harmony among the world’s 8.2 billion people who follow one of these religions. The author’s daughter, Malati Kanoria, brings to you this abridged and edited version of her mother’s book, World Religions: An Introduction in the hope that children will read it to know the truth behind the world’s important religions.
