THE THIRD EYE—The Mystery of Sri Sri Ramakrishna’s Visions
The 19th century Hindu super-saint Avatar Sri Sri Ramakrishna descended on earth as a God incarnate to bring about harmony between different religions – some of those believing in gods without forms and a few having faith on gods and goddesses with forms. He was an evangelist of spirituality rather than a religious missionary. His every step, every move was based on his clear visions of the far and near pasts as well as the proximal and distant futures. This was possible because of the mystical powers of his open and active third eye. The author, who is until now, the only Ramakrishna scholar who has been studying him deeply bio-behaviourally, explains, with adequate authentic supportive d...

The Brahmo Samaj and the Shaping of the Modern Indian Mind
As the forerunners of Indian modernization, the community of Bengali intellectuals known as the Brahmo Samaj played a crucial role in the genesis and development of every major religious, social, and political movement in India from 1820 to 1930.

What Is a Classic?
What Is a Classic? revisits the famous question posed by critics from Sainte-Beuve and T. S. Eliot to J. M. Coetzee to ask how classics emanate from postcolonial histories and societies. Exploring definitive trends in twentieth- and twenty-first century English and Anglophone literature, Ankhi Mukherjee demonstrates the relevance of the question of the classic for the global politics of identifying and perpetuating so-called core texts. Emergent canons are scrutinized in the context of the wider cultural phenomena of book prizes, the translation and distribution of world literatures, and multimedia adaptations of world classics. Throughout, Mukherjee attunes traditional literary critical concerns to the value contestations mobilizing postcolonial and world literature. The breadth of debates and topics she addresses, as well as the book's ambitious historical schema, which includes South Asia, Africa, the Middle East, the West Indies, Australia, New Zealand, Europe, and North America, set this study apart from related titles on the bookshelf today.
