In Akasha, Sundaram shares her personal experiences regarding spiritual conditioning and the final ceiling layer it imposes upon the spiritual climb. She describes how the awakening of the mind is the beginning of enhanced life, but the body must be involved as well. A process of self-discipline and self-reflection helps the mind and body purify and permanently strengthen. Presenting the two-year Practice Pathway instruction to reaching and remaining with the higher self, Akasha conveys a truth of not only the spiritual mind but the spiritual depth of the body. It shows how the awakening of both creates the final height of an individual which is the Akasha self.
Without a clear understanding or expectation of where her explorations would lead, Usha Sita Sundaram began to look within for peace, understanding, and compassion. That quest for a better life introduced her to the many benefits of meditation. Now, two decades later, she knows profound gratitude for the many gifts she has received. Mind: The Journey into the Expanse presents the diary-based expression of her travel through what she calls the "egoic self" into a higher thought-yielding place of clear and purposeful action. In stark contrast to our culture's obsession with instant gratification, she has come to appreciate the unfolding of wisdom at its own pace. Awakening, ironically enough, is not the result of an overnight epiphany, but rather a reward that is brought to fruition slowly and purposefully. Awakening is what happens despite the overwhelming frustration. It is the knowing that the truth is within reach-and well worth the effort.

This second volume of “Sathyam Sivam Sundaram” narrates the life history of Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba, covering the period 1962 to 1968, when He was at the age of 36 to 42 years, in Prof. N. Kasturi’s inimitable, poetic style. Prof. N. Kasturi is the chosen biographer of Bhagawan, who lived with Swami and experienced the Divine Leelas, during these years and it is most appropriate to get this first-hand information from his writings for our benefit. Bhagawan’s historic letter dated 25.05.1947, in His own handwriting declaring His task, vow, and mission is included in this volume. Many incidents and miracles that happened during this period with Bhagawan’s grace are brought out in this volume most interestingly, along with many, appropriate photographs, which will form a garland for the living and loving Divinity, Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba. Prof. Kasturi gives a clarion call to all: “Come! Give me your hand. We shall go along, page after page, sharing the wonder and the wisdom, the awe and the mystery, the truth and the testimony, the glory and the grandeur, and the abundance of the peace.”
This book seeks to understand the major mythological role models that mark the moral landscape navigated by young Hindu women. Traditionally, the goddess Sita, faithful consort of the god Rama, is regarded as the most important positive role model for women. The case of Radha, who is mostly portrayed as a clandestine lover of the god Krishna, seems to challenge some of the norms the example of Sita has set. That these role models are just as relevant today as they have been in the past is witnessed by the popularity of the televised versions of their stories, and the many allusions to them in popular culture.Taking the case of Sita as main point of reference, but comparing throughout with Ra...
The concept of Empowerment is a multi-faceted, multi-dimensional and multi-layered. The women’s empowerment is a process by which women gain greater share of control over resource-material, human and intellectual like knowledge, information, ideas and financial resources like money-and access to money and control over decision-making in the home, community, society and nation.1 The Proceedings of the Third International Women’s Conference held at Nairobi in the year 1985, paved the way for emergence of concept of women empowerment and the statesmen of great vision perceived it as a powerful tool for re-distribution of social power and control of resources in favor of women.
