WHY DON’T YOU CONVERT
0₹245.00About the Book
Why Don’t You Convert? is a collection of twenty-three stories based on true events spanning several decades in the life of the author — from the idyllic early days as a fresh medical graduate in Kashmir, to the trauma of the refugee camps in Jammu. He looks at his subjects not only through the lens of a doctor but also through the prism of a writer, interested in their diseases as much as in the subjects themselves with their myriad physical, psychological and existential problems.
You have the story of a man unable to erase the spit that his father-in-law flings into his face; a young woman caught between the humiliation of rejection and the relentless persuasion to convert; a doctor kidnapped to treat a terrorist in his hideout; a running cricket commentary that brings to life a patient in coma; a pir with magical powers to congeal the blood in the womb of maidens; a dwarfish boy who will stop at nothing to grow tall; an old man who develops intractable hiccups after giving chase to a thief; a bear hug that robs a doctor of his sleep… each story brings alive the human touch as the deft narrative unfolds through scenes and situations, through narratives and dialogues, through drama and suspense, through agony and ecstasy, holding the reader spellbound till the very end.

WHY HINDU DHARMA IS UNDER ATTACK BY MUSLIMS, CHRISTIANS AND THE LEFT: A COLLECTION OF ESSAYS
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.

WOMEN IN PERSPECTIVE
0₹595.00About The Book
The very notion of woman submissiveness, spontaneous, trained or socially conditioned, has triggered off a range of varied shades of violence around her in the form of domestic violence, female foeticide, female infanticide, rape, acid attacks, denial of parliamentary participation and so on. Through this book, which is a collection of essays on women related issues, the author has sought to highlight the images of women as they see them. The multiple ways and gender bias as seen through the eyes of women. While the male dominated feudal society discusses things from a traditional viewpoint, these essays try to touch upon what impact these incidents produce on suffering women. The central theme is why should she be treated as a commodity. Why is she defied to be commodified? Why can’t society treat her as equal?

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.

YOGA-ANATOMY AND THE JOURNEY WITHIN
0₹425.00About The Book
This book is about the forgotten art and science of healing: retrieved and reaped in easy steps. Equally, it is an attempt at interpreting the ancient Upanishadic wisdom through the author’s insight: showing the essential oneness of spirituality with the mind-body matrix. Layers of wisdom unravel as the author unfolds the science of Yoga: dispelling myths while reinforcing the Truth. Touching upon subjects of contemporary interest – Cosmic Energy, Reiki, Karma, Kundalini, Yoga, Health etc – the book has a universal appeal. Of particular interest to the scientifically-inclined is the author’s juxtaposing of scriptural wisdom of the East with the West’s path-breaking findings in Quantum Physics, Probabilistic nature of the Universe, Psychoneuroimmunology and Parapsychology. That the author throws light on these esoteric matters through the prism of his spiritual experiences, lends the whole narrative a kind of authenticity not common in books of this genre. The highlight of the book is its ability to touch the yoga-inclined masses in their daily life and facilitate their ‘three-dimensional’ healing through easy-to-make forays in diet control, asana-pranayama, alternative therapy, meditation and karmic remedies.

YOUR PRIME MINISTER IS DEAD

YOUTH & INDIA’S SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS
0₹750.00About the Book
Youth & India’s Sustainable Development Goals gives an overview of the state of India’s youth and the lacuna in their development. It is a book that provides perspectives on the role and contribution of 300 million youth in achieving the UN-set sustainable development goals. Despite umpteen policies for children and youth for more than 70 years, welfare measures do not percolate down to those who need them the most. The chain of weak mothers giving birth to malnourished children continues to make generations of Indian youth weak, incapable, uneducated, unskilled and poor. But surprisingly, no attempts have been made by researchers to study and provide ways to remedy the looming skill-level disaster that the country faces in the coming decade.
