Sacred Seed
"... More than an essay collection, this is a call for worldwide action." — Publishers Weekly Essential to survival, seeds have profound spiritual implications. For centuries the planting of seed in the earth not only nourished humanity, but also symbolized the mystery of life and the journey of the soul. In our current supermarket lifestyle of pre-packaged products, far removed from the cycles of planting, we have nearly forgotten this mystery. Now as the integrity of the seed is threatened, so is its primal meaning. Inspired by physicist and environmental leader Dr. Vandana Shiva, each essay draws on the wisdom of ancient and modern traditions. Mystics, shamans, monastics and priests rem...
SAMKSIPTA BHAGAVAD GITA
All of us want freedom. The key question is from what? Some of us want freedom from boredom, relationships, poverty, politicians, insecurity, fear of old age and a zillion other things. Even if we manage to free ourselves from one issue, the next one crops up. Is there no end to this cycle? How would it be, if we free ourselves from one issue and the rest of the problems disappear? Sounds very interesting and tempting, does it not? The trials and tribulations that we undergo, which is Sa?sara, are because we think we are bound to this world and its attendant sorrows but the truth is we are not bound. We are already free but we don’t know this. How does one get out of this illusion? Only with knowledge. This is precisely what the Bhagavad Gita teaches us through a great conversation between Lord K???a and Arjuna. This book attempts to give a concise version of the profound truth in simple terms. Abstract of the various sadhanas like Karma Yoga, Bhakti Yoga and Jñana Yoga have been discussed to inspire the reader for a more comprehensive study of these texts.

Menstruation Across Cultures
Menstruation across Cultures attempts to provide a detailed review of menstruation notions prevalent in India and in cultures from across the world.

Two themes of special focus in the book are: Impurity and Sacrality. While they are often understood as being opposed to each other, the book examines how they are treated as two sides of the same coin, when it comes to menstruation. This is especially true in Indic traditions and pre-Christian polytheistic traditi...
The Dhvanyāloka of Ānandavardhana with the Locana of Abhinavagupta
For nearly a thousand years the brilliant analysis of aesthetic experience set forth in the Locana of Abhinavagupta, India's founding literary critic, has dominated traditional Indian theory on poetics and aesthetics. The Locana, presented here in English translation for the first time, is a commentary on the ninth-century Dhvanyaloka of Anandavardhana, which is itself the pivotal work in the history of Indian poetics. The Dhvanyaloka revolutionized Sanskrit literary theory by proposing that the main goal of good poetry is the evocation of a mood or "flavor" (rasa) and that this process can be explained only by recognizing a semantic power beyond denotation and metaphor, namely, the power of...
