The Elder Brother
A leading figure in the Theosophical Society, Leadbeater was a prolific author, writing on subjects ranging from Buddhism, Masonic history and the origins of Christianity through to the power of thought and the fourth dimension. Leadbeater was also the force behind Annie Besant, the discoverer and educator if Krishnamurti, and became Presiding Bishop of the Liberal Catholic Church. For all his influence Charles Leadbeater remains largely unknown as a man. This biography, first published in 1982, dispels many of the mysteries surrounding his life, and Leadbeater emerges as neither evil degenerate or infallible saint, but as a complex and eccentric adventurer into the realm of the occult. This title will be of particular interest to students of history and theology.

Kundalini - an Occult Experience (Aziloth Books)
'Kundalini' is the Indian word for a spiritual energy known by a variety of titles to many cultures - 'Shekinah' in mystical Judaism, 'Sekhem' in Egypt, 'Da Kan Li' in Daoism. Present throughout the universe, Kundalini is thought to lie quiescent in most humans at the base of the spine. In this book, Dr. Arundale gives a clear, concise and very personal account of this powerful force which, when aroused, migrates up the spine, vivifying successive chakra until reaching the crown - when it bestows 'enlightenment' of long or short duration. Dr George S Arundale spent many years in India studying its spiritual traditions, and working alongside such luminaries as Annie Besant. He was principal of the Central Hindu College in Varanasi, and in 1934 was elected as president of the Theosophical Society, a post he held until his death in 1945.

A Taste for Purity
In nineteenth-century Europe and North America, an organized vegetarian movement began warning of the health risks and ethical problems of meat eating. Presenting a vegetarian diet as a cure for the social ills brought on by industrialization and urbanization, this movement idealized South Asia as a model. In colonial India, where diets were far more varied than Western admirers realized, new motives for avoiding meat also took hold. Hindu nationalists claimed that vegetarianism would cleanse the body for anticolonial resistance, and an increasingly militant cow protection movement mobilized against meat eaters, particularly Muslims. Unearthing the connections among these developments and ma...

Maria Montessori's Erdkinder
Consistently based on the developmental needs in adolescence, Maria Montessori designed the concept of a `Center for Study and Work in the Countryside' for students aged 12 - 18 years, which gives young people the opportunity to learn about the basic structures of production, trade and services in a manageable, transparent and at the same time protected setting through Practice-Theory linked experiences. The book presents the basics of Maria Montessori's concept and gives, through reports with practitioners and interviews with Montessori experts insights into authentic implementations of the Farm school concept - and thus into a learning arrangement that allows young people a high degree of responsibility and participation and strengthens their commitment to a sustainable approach to natural resources and a peaceful way of living. The book also addresses schools without a Farm school practice and shows ways of approaching crucial components of this authentic and highly topical concept.

The Lost Legacy of the Nilgiris
The book has a background of more than 10 years of research. Nilgiris has a rich history and heritage as it was the summer capital of the Madras Presidency. Many of the annual tourism events, held in the district headquarters of Ootacamund or better known as Ooty, are still the remnants of the British colonisation. The idea occurred when the author found many attractive old British buildings and became interested in their history. Soon she realized that many little details are not included in history books, and therefore she decided to pen down all her investigations for the Nilgiris people. Nilgiris is in a way lucky to have been the summer capital, here the level of the English language is...
