The Imitation of Sankara
Being A Collection of Several Texts Bearing on the Advaita
By M.N. Dvivedi.
Sri Garib Das Oriental Series No. 37
Sri Satguru Publications (Delhi), ISBN 81-7030-027-4
Price: Rs.200
Contents:
1. Prologue. 2. Brahman. 3. Self-identity. 4. The Means. 5. Liberation. 6. Conclusion. Index.
The present collection here is not entirely from the works of Sankara, but from all works bearing on the philosophy taught by Sankara and his followers. The whole collection is being divided into sections and sub-sections with a view to exhaust the main topics of the absolute philosophy. Texts from the Upanisads and other works are often referred to in Vedanta writings. That almost every important reference of this kind may easily be traced to its place in this collection, where it should be found in its entirety with translation, a careful alphabetical index has been appended in the end. Another index puts together the principal points of this philosophy, and directs even the most casual reader to whatever information this book can give on the questions and its bearings. Words not Englished in the text have been collected together for explanation in an index, to which the reader may conveniently refer

A Comparative Survey of Hindu, Christian and Jewish Mysticism/E.M. Abrahams. Delhi, Sri Satguru, 1995, xxvii, 274 p., ISBN 81-7030-406-7. Rs.300
Contents: Foreword. Introduction. I. Introductory : General considerations regarding mysticism: 1. Hindu mysticism. 2. Buddhist mysticism. II. The Mysticism of : 1. Isa Upanisad. 2. Katha Upanisad. 3. Mundaka Upanisad. 4. Kena Upanisad. III. Christian mysticism: 1. The cloud of unknowing. IV. Kabbalistic (Jewish) mysticism. V. Conclusions. Appendix : i. Psychedelic experience. ii. Modern physics and mysticism•the quantum factor. Bibliography. Glossary. Index.
"The present book is a comparative and evaluative study of Hindu, Christian, and Jewish mysticism. Not much work is done in the field, though there are sketchy studies of any two of these schools and not all together. Again the author has taken within his scope, not only the three schools of Vedanta, but has considered the four important Upanisad viz. Isa, Kena, Katha, and Mundaka. He has also rightly considered Buddhism. His study of these is through and understanding very clear. He has then dealt with Christianity, with reference to the New Testament and the Christian mystics. He has drawn on their works copiously. Being a practicing Jew himself, his study of Judaism and Kabbalah is thorough and gives a complete insight into these religious systems. The most important addition is the study of a great work, "The Cloud of Unknowing " by an unknown author, who appears to be a Catholic Christian and who chose to remain anonymous."

9. On Being Mindless- Buddhist Meditation and the Mind Bodhy Problem/ Paul J. Griffiths, Rs. 450
ISBN: 81-7030-606-X, Series: Bibliotheca Indo-Buddhica Series No.196
About the Book
Indian Buddhist philosophers say that it is possible to achieve, by specific meditational techniques, a distinctive ‘altered state’ which they call ‘the attainment of cessation’. In this state, the stream of mental events is temporarily brought to a complete halt: the practitioner becomes mindless. The possibility and desirability of such an altered state was extensively discussed by Buddhist thinkers in India. In these discussions, they were compelled to consider the causal connections between the mental and the physical, and thus to clarify their positions on what in the west has usually been called the mind-body problem. On Being Mindless presents these discussions to an English speaking readership for the first time, including analysis and translation of texts not previously available in English and, in some cases, of material not available in any Western language. Opposing fashionably relativistic approaches to non-Western philosophical traditions, Paul Griffiths critically comments upon the analyses of mindlessness given by Buddhist thinkers. He maintains that “the functions, nature, and limits of rationality are conceived similarly in all cultures” and rejects” that humility which, all too often in those Western academic circles where the study of Buddhist thought is carried on, refuses to take its material with philosophical seriousness”. On Being Mindless is a study in cross-cultural philosophy which should do much to increase awareness among Western scholars of the precision and subtlety of India Philosophical thinking. It may also encourage Western philosophers to look beyond the barriers of their own culture and language for serious philosophical analysis.

11. Secrets of the Lotus - Studies in Buddhist Meditation/ Ed. Donald K. Swearer, Rs. 250
ISBN: 81-7030-528-4, Series: Bibliotheca Indo-Buddhica Series No. 176
About the Book
In January 1969 an unusual workshop was held at Oberlin College in Ohio - an experimental project in Buddhist meditation. It brought together a Thai Buddhist meditation teacher, the Venerable Chao Khun Sobhana Dhammasudhi, and a Zen priest, the Reverend Eshin Nishimura, to share with Professor Donald K. Swearer in instructing a group of students in the theory and practice of satipatthana and zazen, two forms of Buddhist meditation.
Secrets of the Lotus - prepared by Professor Swearer, the Venerable Dhammasudhi, and the Reverend Nishimura - grew out of this successful venture, and is designed to meet a special need. While recent books dealing with Buddhist meditation have focused on either the Zen or the Theravada tradition, this volume discusses meditation within both traditions, employing classical texts with explanatory commentary and contemporary exposition. The reader also learns exactly what happened at the experimental workshop and how the participants responded.

This new translation, drawings its inspiration from both careful scholarship and yogic practice, offers innovative features in that it: provides a full grammatical analysis of each term used by Patanjali, including an analysis of word compounds.

Includes a concise introduction, surveying earlier scholarship on the text and highlighting what the translators perceive to be its central theme: the process of subtilization. Uses consistent translation of Sanskrit terms such as artha (purpose) and visaya (condition), whereas prior translations have often given more than one translation for the same Sanskrit word.

From the preface:
"Much has been written about Yoga ever since the Theosophists "discovered" spiritual India, and not a little of a very uninformed nature which, in place of elucidating a complex mental science, has either perplexed the student or rendered the whole subject ridiculous. In this book it is my intention to abide by facts and simultaneously introduce sufficient cross references to other mystical systems, such as western magic and the Qabalah, to show that Yoga is one of a series of means of deliverance from worldly illusions. All these systems are closely related; for, in one sense, they and many others, such as Christian mysticism, Quietism, Buddhism, Taoism and Sufism, are spiritual languages the words of which differ in sound but the meanings of which are identical."

The Imitation of Buddha - Quotations from Buddhist Literature for Each Day..
The Imitation of Buddha
Quotations from Buddhist Literature for Each Day in the Year
Ernest M. Bowden
Bibliotheca Indo Buddhica Series No.61
146 pages
Sri Satguru Publications (Delhi),ISBN: 81-7030-185-8
Price Rs. 200
About the Book
In this compilation no attempt has been made to present a general view of Buddhism as a religious or philosophical system. The aim has rather to turn Buddhism to account as a moral force by bringing together a selection of its beautiful sentiments and lofty maxims, and particularly by including some of those which inculcate mercy to lower animals. In the average Buddhist treatise , with its earnest exhortations, recurring as a matter of course , to show mercy on every living thing; and this difference along is an adequate reason for compiling a Buddhist anthology. The author has here supplied those who buy and use the book with rubies and sapphires and emeralds of wisdom, compassion and human brotherhood, any one of which, worn on the heart, would be sufficient to make the wearer rich beyond estimation for a day.

Authoritative Guide to Indian Philosophy
Tradition and Reflection
Explorations in Indian Thought
By Wilhelm Halbfass
Sri Satguru Publications (Delhi), ISBN 81-7030-300-1
Price: Rs. 400
Contents:
Preface. 1. The idea of the Veda and the identity of Hinduism. 2. The presence of the Veda in Indian philosophical reflection. 3.Vedic orthodoxy and the plurality of religious traditions. 4. Vedic apologetics, ritual killing, and the foundations of ethics. 5. Human reason and Vedic revelation in Advaita Vedanta. 6. Sankara, the Yoga of Patanjali, and the so-called Yogasutrabhasyavivarana. 7. The therapeutic paradigm and the search for identity in Indian philosophy. 8. Man and Self in traditional Indian thought. 9. Competing causalities: Karma, Vedic rituals, and the natural world. 10. Homo hierarchicus: the conceptualization of the Varna system in Indian thought. Index.
About the Book
This book examines, above all, the relationship between reason and Vedic revelation, and the philosophical responses to the idea of the Veda. It deals with such topics as dharma, karma and rebirth, the role of man in the universe, the motivation and justification of human actions, the relationship between ritual norms and universal ethics, and reflections on the goals and sources of human knowledge.
Halbfass presents previously unknown materials concerning the history of sectarian movements, including the notorious "Thags" (thaka), and relations between Indian and Iranian thought. The approach is partly philosophical and partly historical and philological; to a certain extent, it is also comparative.
The author explores indigenous Indian reflections on the sources, the structure and the meaning of the Hindu tradition, and traditional philosophical responses to social and historical realities. He does not deal with social and historical realities per se; rather, basing his work on the premise that to understand these realities the reflections and constructions of traditional Indian theorists are no less significant than the observations and paradigms of modern western historians and social scientists, he explores the self-understanding of such leading thinkers as Sankara, Kumarila, Bhartrhari and Udayana.

"This book permits us to penetrate within one of the most ancient ascetic spirituality, that followed by some 6000 Jaina women ascetics.
"Written with their collaboration, it presents to the reader their life of radical renunciation of which one of the hallmarks is incessant pilgrimage, a regular shifting from one place to the next in a sustained striving towards self-purification, a striving of which the final goal is Nirvana.
"Here then we have before us the whole Jaina tradition, presented through scriptures, ancient texts, biographies, epigraphy and iconography. Here too we may observe its outworking in contemporary daily life and its contribution to inter-cultural and inter-monastic encounter.

Reprint. Delhi, Satguru, 2002, 6 Vols., 2411 p., Rs.3000. oo US$116 (set). ISBN 81-7030-730-9.
"In 1805 H.T. Colebrooke, wrote an elaborate essay on the Vedas in the Asiatic Researches. This essay created a lot of interest in Europe to take up Vedic studies seriously. The efforts to study were directed towards three points: 1. Critical editions of the Vedic text. 2. Translations of those texts and. 3. Study of those texts in order to get acquainted with ancient Indian Culture and Philosophy.
"It was H.H. Wilson, who for the first time translated entirely the Rgveda into English. H.H. Wilson based his English translation on the commentary of Sayanacharya and has given his own interpretations in the notes wherever there are differences with the commentary. This is prose English translation of the Rgveda with exhaustive notes."

Life and Teachings of Sri Ma Anandmayi : A Bird on the Wing/Bithika Mukerji.
Life and Teachings of Sri Ma Anandmayi : A Bird on the Wing/Bithika Mukerji.
Delhi, Sri Satguru Pub., 2005, xix, 347 p., US$22. (pbk). ISBN 81-7030-810-0.
Contents: Preface. 1. The places where Sri Ma Anandamayi lived as a child. 2. From childhood of maturity. 3. The manifestation of Sakti as Sadhana. 4. The Ma of Dhaka. 5. The beginning of the ceaseless wanderings. 6. The last years in Dhaka. 7. The bird on the wing. 8. The pilgrimage to Kailasha. 9. Sri Ramani Mohan Chakravarty : Bhyolanathji. 10. The changing order. 11. Sri Ma and the Sadhu-samaja. 12. A harmonius presence. 13. A confluence of many streams. 14. Through a spectrum of rainbow colours. 15. Swami Muktananda Giri. 16. The last flight - beyond horizons. Glossary of Sanskrit words. Index.
"For a span of more than 50 years Ma Anandamayi treaded gracefully the spiritual horizon of India -- and in her wake followed top dignitaries, as well as the lowliest of the lowly, enchanted by her gentle dispensation of wisdom and love to all...
To the man in the street she was the guru' and confidante of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. All V.I.Ps visiting India made an appointment with her an item in their itineraries. No big religious function was held anywhere in the country without an invitation to her for her gracious and radiant presence on the dais.
The keepers of our heritage -- the ascetic orders of India were united in recognizing Ma Anandamayi as the quintessence of the Upanishadic tradition....scholars trained in modern universities derived inspiration from her. Ma Anandamayi by her presence in our midst during the most difficult decades of our times, consolidated our past and taught how to live in the very demanding times of the twentieth century and face up to the challenge of the twenty first. She was born in India but in herself she belongs to humanity (Colin Turnbull).
Swami Sivananda (Divine Life Society) had said that she was the finest flower that the soil of India had produced. Such question as whether she was an incarnation, a Siddha Yogin or the adya sakti (Pandit Gopinath Kaviraj) used to sink into irrelevancies in her presence. She was for everyone, man, women and child from all corners of the world, a guide of infallible power, a friend of unfailing compassion and understanding.
To Ma Anandamayi, there was no one who was an 'other'. In her we touched a dimension of unity which encompassed all religions and all countries. Each person in her presence found fulfilment and her presence is ever-abiding

1. The Compendium on Ganesa/ S.K. Ramachandra Rao. Second revised and enlarged edition. Delhi, Sri Satguru, 2005, xvi, 292 p., ISBN 81-7030-828-3.
Price: Rs. 500
Contents:
Introduction. 1. The Vedic background. 2. In the Smrti context. 3. Tantrik involvements. 4. Myths and legends. 5. Forms for worship.
From the introduction: "Ganesa's popularity is manifold. He is the favourite God of the masses. He is also the favourite subject for curio-hunters and collectors of icons. Painters and sculptors have revelled in depicting this God in a variety of forms and postures. The Tantrik practitioners have found in him a benevolent power, quick to acquire and enduring in nature. There is no religious group in the country which dispenses with his services. And more importantly, Ganesa has been subjected to endless enquiry about his origin, nature, significance, symbolism and cultic involvement. Research scholars have surrounded him with diverse theories: sociological, anthropological, cultural, historical, literary and linguistic, political and economic answers are suggested to be the secret of his popularity; agriculture, hunting, elephant capture, formation of early totemistic communities, and strife amongst them are sought to be seen in the background of this deity. Excessive use of imagination appears to be the undercurrent in all such studies, which have also incidentally brought to surface many interesting aspects of Ganesa-worship.
Literature about Ganesa is remarkable, varied and large. Every Indian language has works bearing on this deity and on his worship. Works in Sanskrit, which appear to have provided the main source material for all of them, are themselves large in number and varied in nature : puranas, kalpas, paddhatis, sadhanas, vidhis and namavalis. Representations of Ganesa in stone, metal, clay and wood, and in painting are equally numerous and varied."

2. Ganapati : Song of the Self/ John A. Grimes. Reprint. 1996,.Delhi.Sri Satguru. xx, 231 p., figures,
Price: Rs. 345
"Ganapati : Song of the Self presents a wide-range of information about Ganapati/Ganesa, the Hindu Lord of beginnings, the keeper of the threshold, the remover of obstacles, master of the mind, son of Siva, elephant-headed, plump and loveable, gathered from such diverse sources as hymns, poems, myths, shrines, practices, and theologies. However, besides being a handy reference work, the book is also an attempt to understand this information from within a tradition, and further, to follow how that understanding may have universal connotations.
"Ganapati is found everywhere: in temples, in wayside shrines, in homes, in devotee's hearts. His praises are sung. He is worshipped and adored. He is represented in art and literature. Stories are told about him. The thinkers think, the scholars scholasticise, the devotees worship. But what is Ganapati's hidden meaning? Who is he really? Side by side, seemingly incongruous facts are simultaneously found. Ganapati: An enormous popularity which transcends sectarian and territorial limits; a seemingly rather late, yet dramatic, full-blown appearance into a religious pantheon; a confusing, conflicting, yet interesting and intriguing mythology; and an elephant's head atop a plump human body! This book considers this complexity of Ganapati lore and presents possible ways of understanding it."

However, besides being a handy reference work, the book is also an attempt to understand this information from within a tradition, and further, to follow how that understanding may have universal connotations.
"Ganapati is found everywhere: in temples, in wayside shrines, in homes, in devotee's hearts. His praises are sung. He is worshipped and adored. He is represented in art and literature. Stories are told about him. The thinkers think, the scholars scholasticise, the devotees worship. But what is Ganapati's hidden meaning? Who is he really? Side by side, seemingly incongruous facts are simultaneously found. Ganapati: An enormous popularity which transcends sectarian and territorial limits; a seemingly rather late, yet dramatic, full-blown appearance into a religious pantheon; a confusing, conflicting, yet interesting and intriguing mythology; and an elephant's head atop a plump human body! This book considers this complexity of Ganapati lore and presents possible ways of understanding it."

Umapati's Commentary on the Pauskaratantra, Chapter 7. Pramana/translated by Usha Colas-Chauhan.
Umapati's Commentary on the Pauskaratantra, Chapter 7. Pramana/translated by Usha Colas-Chauhan.
Delhi, Sri Satguru Pub., 2007, viii, 300 p., $28. ISBN 81-7030-857-7.
Contents: Acknowledgements. 1. Introduction. 2. Translation. 3. Text. Abbreviations and bibliography.
"The Pauskara, belonging to the class of literature generally known as Tantra or Agama, is an important text for the comprehension of Saiva philosophy. The seventh chapter of its doctrinal section (jnanapada) is not only a remarkable source of information on Saiva epistemology, but also a gold-mine of significant elements valuable for the study of early Indian logic. Umapati's commentary on this chapter introduces new features, sometimes in a post-15 century Navyanyaya dialectical style, and bears testimony to the evolution of Saiva epistemology.
This translation aims to bring an important aspect of Saiva philosophy to the attention of scholars and to facilitate comparative studies of Saiva epistemology."

Encyclopaedia of Indian Iconography : Hinduism--Buddhism—Jainism/S.K. Ramachandra Rao
Encyclopaedia of Indian Iconography : Hinduism--Buddhism•Jainism/S.K. Ramachandra Rao. Reprint. Delhi, Satguru, 2003, 3 volumes, xviii, 1744 p., Rs.5000. US $215 (set). ISBN 81-7030-765-1.
Reprint. Delhi, Satguru, 2003, 3 volumes, xviii, 1744 p., Rs.5000. US $215 (set). ISBN 81-7030-765-1.
"The present publication, Encyclopaedia of Indian Iconography, is intended to focus attention on the traditional details concerning images and their worship. The details given in these volumes are taken entirely from the traditional texts of Agama and Silpa-sastra, like Brhatsamhita, Manasara, Kasyapa-silpa, Isana-siva-guru-deva-paddhati, Silpa-ratna, Padma-samhita, Hayasirsa-samhita, Vaikhanasagama and Rupa-mandana. The entries include not only the Gods and Goddesses of popular so-called Hinduism, but also the divinities of Jaina (both Digambara and Svetambara divisions) and Buddhist (Mahayana) religions. The deities worshipped in Nepal and Tibet are also included. Sadhana-mala has been used for descriptions of Buddhist deities, and Rupa-mandana for Jaina deities. Most of the entries are illustrated by line-drawings of images in temples, monasteries, basadis and in museums. Topics of peripheral interest (like temple-construction, image-making worship rituals and Agama divisions) have also been included here.
"The volumes follow the Sanskrit alphabetical order (akaradi) to facilitate translation into Indian languages. The first volume begins with the words beginning with vowels in Sanskrit alphabet. Followed with mute consonants and the rest of the consonants in the subsequent volumes.
"Among various and synonymous names of the deities, the better known ones have been selected for entry, while cross-references also have been indicated. Wherever necessary, background stories for particular iconographical representations have been given."

Tapta-Marga/ Walter O. Kaelber
Tapta-Marga
Asceticism and Initiation in Vedic India
Walter O. Kaelber
Delhi,Sri Satguru. Rs.200.
About the Book
"Kaelber takes a subject which looks obscure at first sight, digests, distills, and comments on a difficult body of scholarship, and then writes about it in a way that is easily accessible to any beginning reader on the subject while at the same time fresh, abrim with new insights, and a stimulating read for the scholar. He achieves this by persistently showing how tapas, in its many transformations, remains at the center of the mainstream of Vedic religion from its beginnings to its Upanishadic 'end.' I see this book as something we have long needed for the teaching of Hinduism: a good book with which to introduce students to the continuities of Vedic religion." -- Alf Hiltebeitel, George Washington University
This is the most comprehensive study yet made of tapas and of asceticism during the Vedic period. It also explains three other essential components of Vedic thought: sacrifice, homology, and knowledge. These concepts, along with tapas and initiation symbolism, reveal the heart of Vedic religion. therefore, this study presents a "history of Vedic religion," organized around the central building blocks of that tradition.
"This is an excellent study of an important topic in the history of Vedic religion. What I like best about the work is the way it reveals the variety of meanings and uses of tapas in different contexts to establish connections between natural, human, and cosmic realities and to maintain continuity between ritual tradition and the path of knowledge. This is a creative study that provides important new insights into the basic principles of Vedic religion." -- Thomas J. Hopkins, Franklin and Marshall College
Walter O. Kaelber is Professor of Religious Studies at Wagner College.

Yatidharmasamuccaya of Yadava Prakasa
Rules and Regulations of Brahmanical Asceticism
Yatidharmasamuccaya of Yadava Prakasa
Edited and translated by Patrick Olivelle
Sri Satguru Publications (Delhi), ISBN: 81-7030-515-2
Sri Garib Das Oriental Series No. 208
458 pages
Price: Rs.600
Rules and Regulations of Brahmanical Asceticism is the critical edition and translation of a twelfth-century Sanskrit text written by Yadava Prakasa, whose life and activities are of historical interest because, according to tradition, he was the teacher of the great Vaisnava theologian Ramanuja.
This text is the oldest and most comprehensive example of medieval Sanskrit literature devoted to examining the duties of ascetics. Yadava Prakasa is the only one who explicitly examines the thorny question of whether asceticism is a legitimate way of life for Brahmins. His topics include the people qualified to become ascetics; the rite for becoming an ascetic; the clothes and belongings of an ascetic; techniques of meditation; daily routines such as bathing, divine worship, and begging; proper conduct and etiquette; the manner of wandering; residence during the rains; explatory penances; and the funeral.
In his introduction, Patrick Olivelle examines the place of Yadava's text within the literary and institutional history of Brahmanical asceticism. He discusses the origins of asceticism in India; its incorporation into the Brahmanical mainstream; and its variations within Hindu sects, as well as in Buddhist and Jain traditions.
Patrick Olivelle is Professor of Sanskrit and Indian Religion at the University of Texas, Austin.

Kabir Legends and Ananta-Das’s Kabir Parachai : With a Translation of the Kabir Parachai Prepared in
Kabir Legends and Ananta-Das’s Kabir Parachai : With a Translation of the Kabir Parachai Prepared in Collaboration with Jagdish Kumar and Uma Thukral and with an Edition of the Niranjani Panthi Recension of this Work/David N. Lorenzen. Reprint. Delhi, Satguru, xiv, 268 p., ISBN 81-7030-316-8.
Contents: Preface. I. The legends : 1. Legends and history. 2. The Kabir Parachai cycle. 3. Other legends. II. Ananta-Das’s Kabir Parachai : 4. The text of the Kabir Parachai. 5. A translation of the Kabir Parachai by Jagdish Kumar, David N. Lorenzen, and Uma Thukral. 6. An edition of the Kabir Parachai (Niranjani Panthi recension). Appendix A : the 1693 V. S. manuscript (RPP 11583) of Ananta-das’s Kabir Parachai. Bibliography. Index.
"This book represents the first systematic collection and analysis of the principal legends about Kabir Das, a fifteenth-century poet-saint. It focuses on the ways in which the legends embody and reflect the often changing social and religious needs of those who created and listened to them. Particular attention is paid to the earliest known collection of legends, Ananta-das’s Kabir Parachai. This book makes available for the first time an English translation of this text, with detailed notes on its variant readings, as well as a corrected Hindi edition based on a comparison of over a dozen manuscripts. The various historical synchronism between Kabir and his leading contemporaries, including Ramananda and King Virasimhadev Baghel, are reevaluated, and a solution is proposed to the longstanding debate about Kabir’s dates."

Nyayamanjari of Jayantabhatta.
Nyayamanjari of Jayantabhatta (Ahnika-I)/English translation by V.N. Jha. 1995, 152 p., Delhi.Sri Satguru Rs,225
From the preface: "I have great pleasure in presenting the English translation of the first Ahnika of Nyayamanjari of Jayanta Bhatta. Jayanta Bhatta occupies a unique position in the history and development of Indian philosophy in general and Pracina Nyaya in particular. The author himself informs that the text was written in a cave where he was put by the king of that time. Nyayamanjari is an encyclopaedic exposition of the Pracina Nyaya. While writing this, Jayanta has taken into account all the relevant views of almost all the systems of Indian philosophy prevalent at his time. He has presented views of his opponent so elaborately and clearly that some times it is easier to understand the opponents from Jayanta's Nyayamanjari than from the original texts of the opponents. Jayanta, the poet-logician, has unique capacity of presenting clearly the issues in a very beautiful Sanskrit."

The Eternal Food : Gastronomic Ideas and Experiences of Hindus and Buddhists/ Edited by R. S. Khare
The Eternal Food : Gastronomic Ideas and Experiences of Hindus and Buddhists/edited by R. S. Khare. Reprint. Delhi, Satguru, 1993, xv, 273 p., ills., ISBN 81-7030-365-6. Rs.250
Contents: Preface. Introduction. 1. Food with saints: an aspect of Hindu gastrosemantics/R. S. Khare. 2. You are what you eat: the anomalous status of dog-cookers in Hindu mythology/David Gordon White. 3. Sharing the divine feast: evolution of food metaphor in Marathi Sant poetry/Vidyut Aklujkar. 4. Mountain of food, mountain of love: ritual inversion in the Annakuta feast at Mount Govardhan/Paul M. Toomey. 5. Pancamirtam: God’s washings as food/Manuel Moreno. 6. Food essence and the essence of experience/H.L. Seneviratne. 7. Annambrahman: cultural models, meanings, and aesthetics of Hindu food/R.S. Khare. 8. Food for thought: toward an anthology of food images/A.K. Ramanujan. Glossary. Index.
"The interdisciplinary approaches presented here investigate food in India and Sri Lanka for its wide ranging cultural meaning and uses. The authors examine food in religious and literary contexts, where saints, ritualists, poets, and the divine often provide grounds for a practically inexhaustible hermeneutics.
"The Eternal Food focuses on reflexive cultural expressions and personal experiences that food elicits in the region. Concerned with food as an "essence" and as an essential experience, the authors give special attention to Hindu saints for whom food, firmly grounded in moral ideals and practice, represents a cosmic divine principle at one level, and a most immediate and intimate material reality at another.
"In the cultural diversity of India, the authors work with several conceptual models and meanings of food. They demonstrate how it reflects common social understandings about social caste, the cure and prevention of ailments, its ability to alter moods and motivations, or affect innate personal dispositions, personal spiritual pursuits and attainments. In its sweep and depth, food presents a powerful cultural lens for seeing how practical, ritual, and spiritual spheres of life conjoin."

Sri Vidya Kosa
Srividya-Kosa/S.K. Ramachandra Rao.
Reprint. Delhi, Sri Satguru Pub., 2005, v, 399 p., ISBN 81-7030-832-1.
Rs.600-00 US$ 40,
(in India only)
Contents: Introduction. 1. Background. 2. Srividya lineages. 3. Yantra Rahasya. 4. Mantra Rahasya. 5. Puja Rahasya. 6. Amnaya Pantheon.
"Srividya is discipline where abounds considerable mystery, esotericism and occultism. There is among common people quite some ignorance concerning its philosophy and practice. There is also a host of doubts and uncertainties among practitioners themselves. The presence of different tradition in Srividya is a further source of confusion. The textual background to Srividya has almost become obscure and obsolete; it has become more a matter of individual lineages of practices. In the circumstances there is a need for an authentic and comprehensive account of all three aspects of Srividya, viz. The Yantra, the Mantra and the Tantra. This book is an attempt to provide one.
Along with all textual details concerning the philosophy and practice of Srividya, relevant iconographic details with illustrations have also been given

Vipassana means to see thing as they really are, not only as they seem to be. The technique of Vipassana is based on the Satipatthana Sutta. Satipatthana means the establishing of mindfulness. This is one of the most original teachings of the Buddha and through it one can cultivate mindfulness and develop awareness. Vipassana meditation aims at the total purification of human beings and at the overcoming of sorrow, lamentation, the destruction of grief and suffering and the reaching of the right path and the attainment of the Nibbanic state. One who practises Vipassana meditation with this aim in mind, even before he attains the final goal, can achieve peace of mind, happiness, calmness, relaxation, and tranquility and the ability to face life's daily problems and enjoy a corresponding greater degree of happiness in this very life here and now.
D.C. Ahir (born 1928, Punjab) is a reputed scholar of Buddhist studies, and has made notable contribution to the history of Buddhism during the last 42 years. He retired as Director to the Government of India in February 1986, and since then is fully engaged in enriching literature.

Beyond The mind is a profound examination of the nature of the mind and of what we call reality. It raises fundamental questions as to the nature of the self and the nature of the world. It is a provocative challenge to all that we commonly believe and know that can help us move into an entirely different dimension of being, in which alone may be the solution to our present personal and collective problems.

9. On Being Mindless- Buddhist Meditation and the Mind Bodhy Problem/ Paul J. Griffiths, Rs. 450
ISBN: 81-7030-606-X, Series: Bibliotheca Indo-Buddhica Series No.196
About the Book
Indian Buddhist philosophers say that it is possible to achieve, by specific meditational techniques, a distinctive ‘altered state’ which they call ‘the attainment of cessation’. In this state, the stream of mental events is temporarily brought to a complete halt: the practitioner becomes mindless. The possibility and desirability of such an altered state was extensively discussed by Buddhist thinkers in India. In these discussions, they were compelled to consider the causal connections between the mental and the physical, and thus to clarify their positions on what in the west has usually been called the mind-body problem. On Being Mindless presents these discussions to an English speaking readership for the first time, including analysis and translation of texts not previously available in English and, in some cases, of material not available in any Western language. Opposing fashionably relativistic approaches to non-Western philosophical traditions, Paul Griffiths critically comments upon the analyses of mindlessness given by Buddhist thinkers. He maintains that “the functions, nature, and limits of rationality are conceived similarly in all cultures” and rejects” that humility which, all too often in those Western academic circles where the study of Buddhist thought is carried on, refuses to take its material with philosophical seriousness”. On Being Mindless is a study in cross-cultural philosophy which should do much to increase awareness among Western scholars of the precision and subtlety of India Philosophical thinking. It may also encourage Western philosophers to look beyond the barriers of their own culture and language for serious philosophical analysis.

ISBN: 81-7030-528-4, Series: Bibliotheca Indo-Buddhica Series No. 176
About the Book
In January 1969 an unusual workshop was held at Oberlin College in Ohio - an experimental project in Buddhist meditation. It brought together a Thai Buddhist meditation teacher, the Venerable Chao Khun Sobhana Dhammasudhi, and a Zen priest, the Reverend Eshin Nishimura, to share with Professor Donald K. Swearer in instructing a group of students in the theory and practice of satipatthana and zazen, two forms of Buddhist meditation.
Secrets of the Lotus - prepared by Professor Swearer, the Venerable Dhammasudhi, and the Reverend Nishimura - grew out of this successful venture, and is designed to meet a special need. While recent books dealing with Buddhist meditation have focused on either the Zen or the Theravada tradition, this volume discusses meditation within both traditions, employing classical texts with explanatory commentary and contemporary exposition. The reader also learns exactly what happened at the experimental workshop and how the participants responded.

ISBN: 81-7030-138-6, Series: Sri Garib das Oriental Series No. 63
From the preface:
"Much has been written about Yoga ever since the Theosophists "discovered" spiritual India, and not a little of a very uninformed nature which, in place of elucidating a complex mental science, has either perplexed the student or rendered the whole subject ridiculous. In this book it is my intention to abide by facts and simultaneously introduce sufficient cross references to other mystical systems, such as western magic and the Qabalah, to show that Yoga is one of a series of means of deliverance from worldly illusions. All these systems are closely related; for, in one sense, they and many others, such as Christian mysticism, Quietism, Buddhism, Taoism and Sufism, are spiritual languages the words of which differ in sound but the meanings of which are identical."

Contents:
Introduction. 1. Background. 2. Srividya lineages. 3. Yantra Rahasya. 4. Mantra Rahasya. 5. Puja Rahasya. 6. Amnaya Pantheon.
"Srividya is discipline where abounds considerable mystery, esotericism and occultism. There is among common people quite some ignorance concerning its philosophy and practice. There is also a host of doubts and uncertainties among practitioners themselves. The presence of different tradition in Srividya is a further source of confusion. The textual background to Srividya has almost become obscure and obsolete; it has become more a matter of individual lineages of practices. In the circumstances there is a need for an authentic and comprehensive account of all three aspects of Srividya, viz. The Yantra, the Mantra and the Tantra. This book is an attempt to provide one.
Along with all textual details concerning the philosophy and practice of Srividya, relevant iconographic details with illustrations have also been given

"As many medical dogmas and beliefs are beginning to fall into disfavor, the benefits of natural healthcare are enjoying a renaissance. Herbal traditions are passed down from one generation to the next for one simple reason: they work. Herbal treatment should not be construed as inferior when compared to using drugs. When properly administered, herbs, can be just as effective and often more effective than their pharmaceutical counterparts as applied in first aid.
"Many of the most useful first aid texts require prescription drugs that only a licensed medical doctor has access to. The strength of Herbal First Aid and herbal medicines is that not only does it work, but it will always be available to each of us, as long as we have the earth, water and sunshine. Science is validating what the ancients have taught us all along. Herbal Medicine is a powerful and effective form of treatment that should not be overlooked. By combining the benefits of medical lifesaving knowledge and herbal wisdom, you will be able to give the very best immediate care or ‘First Aid’"

Classical Hindu Mythology : A Reader in the Sanskrit Puranas/edited and translated by Cornelia Dimmi
Classical Hindu Mythology : A Reader in the Sanskrit Puranas/edited and translated by Cornelia Dimmitt and J.A.B. van Buitenen. Reprint. 1998, Delhi. Sri Satguru. xiii, 373 p.,
Contents: Preface. 1. Origins. 2. Visnu. 3. Krsna. 4. Siva. 5. The Goddess. 6. Seers, kings and supernaturals. Glossary. Notes on sources. Bibliography of Sanskrit Puranas. Index.
"The Mahapuranas embody the received tradition of Hindu mythology. This anthology contains fresh translations of these myths, only a few of which have ever been available in English before, thus providing a rich new portion of Hindu mythology.
"The book is organized into six chapters. "Origins" contains myths relating to creation, time, and space. "Seers, kings and supernaturals" relates tales of rivers, trees, animals, demons, and men, particularly heroes and sages. Myths about the chief Gods are dealt with in three separate chapters: "Krsna," "Visnu," and "Siva." The chapter "The Goddess" presents stories of the wives and lovers of the Gods, as well as of Kali, the savage battle Goddess.

Beyond The mind is a profound examination of the nature of the mind and of what we call reality. It raises fundamental questions as to the nature of the self and the nature of the world. It is a provocative challenge to all that we commonly believe and know that can help us move into an entirely different dimension of being, in which alone may be the solution to our present personal and collective problems.

9. On Being Mindless- Buddhist Meditation and the Mind Bodhy Problem/ Paul J. Griffiths, Rs. 450
ISBN: 81-7030-606-X, Series: Bibliotheca Indo-Buddhica Series No.196
About the Book
Indian Buddhist philosophers say that it is possible to achieve, by specific meditational techniques, a distinctive ‘altered state’ which they call ‘the attainment of cessation’. In this state, the stream of mental events is temporarily brought to a complete halt: the practitioner becomes mindless. The possibility and desirability of such an altered state was extensively discussed by Buddhist thinkers in India. In these discussions, they were compelled to consider the causal connections between the mental and the physical, and thus to clarify their positions on what in the west has usually been called the mind-body problem. On Being Mindless presents these discussions to an English speaking readership for the first time, including analysis and translation of texts not previously available in English and, in some cases, of material not available in any Western language. Opposing fashionably relativistic approaches to non-Western philosophical traditions, Paul Griffiths critically comments upon the analyses of mindlessness given by Buddhist thinkers. He maintains that “the functions, nature, and limits of rationality are conceived similarly in all cultures” and rejects” that humility which, all too often in those Western academic circles where the study of Buddhist thought is carried on, refuses to take its material with philosophical seriousness”. On Being Mindless is a study in cross-cultural philosophy which should do much to increase awareness among Western scholars of the precision and subtlety of India Philosophical thinking. It may also encourage Western philosophers to look beyond the barriers of their own culture and language for serious philosophical analysis.

ISBN: 81-7030-528-4, Series: Bibliotheca Indo-Buddhica Series No. 176
About the Book
In January 1969 an unusual workshop was held at Oberlin College in Ohio - an experimental project in Buddhist meditation. It brought together a Thai Buddhist meditation teacher, the Venerable Chao Khun Sobhana Dhammasudhi, and a Zen priest, the Reverend Eshin Nishimura, to share with Professor Donald K. Swearer in instructing a group of students in the theory and practice of satipatthana and zazen, two forms of Buddhist meditation.
Secrets of the Lotus - prepared by Professor Swearer, the Venerable Dhammasudhi, and the Reverend Nishimura - grew out of this successful venture, and is designed to meet a special need. While recent books dealing with Buddhist meditation have focused on either the Zen or the Theravada tradition, this volume discusses meditation within both traditions, employing classical texts with explanatory commentary and contemporary exposition. The reader also learns exactly what happened at the experimental workshop and how the participants responded.

ISBN: 81-7030-138-6, Series: Sri Garib das Oriental Series No. 63
From the preface:
"Much has been written about Yoga ever since the Theosophists "discovered" spiritual India, and not a little of a very uninformed nature which, in place of elucidating a complex mental science, has either perplexed the student or rendered the whole subject ridiculous. In this book it is my intention to abide by facts and simultaneously introduce sufficient cross references to other mystical systems, such as western magic and the Qabalah, to show that Yoga is one of a series of means of deliverance from worldly illusions. All these systems are closely related; for, in one sense, they and many others, such as Christian mysticism, Quietism, Buddhism, Taoism and Sufism, are spiritual languages the words of which differ in sound but the meanings of which are identical."

How Master Mou Removes Our Doubts/ John P.Keenan
How Master Mou Removes Our Doubts : A Reader-Response Study and Translation of the Mou-tzu Li-huo lun
John P. Keenan
Imprint : Sri Satguru Publications
x, 229 p., ISBN 81-7030-516-0
Price: Rs. 350
Contents:
Preface. I. Introduction: Reading the Mou-tzu Li-huo lun: Socioliterary strategies : 1.The intent of the Li-huo lun. 2. Modern Scholarship. 3. The approach of literary criticism. 4. Reader-response criticism. 5. The plot of the Mou-tzu Li-huo lun. 6. Interpretation as a function of an institutional community. 7. The argument of the Li-huo lun. 8. Notes to introduction. II. The preface to the Li-huo lun : 9. Background and context. 10. English translation of preface: Mou-tzu’s treatise on the removal of doubt. 11. Reader-response criticism. III. Mou-tzu’s dialogue with his critics: 12. Each of thirty-seven articles treated in three parts: i. English translation. ii. Source codes (background textual images and ideas). iii. Reader-response criticism (what the argument accomplishes in each of its progressive steps). Notes to articles. Bibliography. Index.
"This is the first English translation of the earliest Chinese Buddhist text, but it is more than a translation. Keenan shows that Mou-tzu’s Treatise on Alleviating Doubt is a Buddhist hermeneutic on the Chinese classics. Using a reader-response method of examining the text, Keenan shows how the rhetoric convinces readers that one can remain culturally Chinese yet be a Buddhist.
"The introduction explains the reader-response methodology, develops the movement of the dialogue in terms of this method, and clarifies the rhetorical impact of Master Mou’s argument. The introduction is followed by the thirty-seven articles of the text. Each article is first translated into English, then the contextual images and ideas are unpacked for each, and finally each article is subjected to a reader-response critique that shows what the argument accomplishes in each of its progressive steps.

A Source Book in/ of Indian Philosophy- Tradition & Reflection
Tradition and Reflection
Explorations in Indian Thought
By Wilhelm Halbfass
Sri Satguru Publications (Delhi), ISBN 81-7030-300-1
Price: Rs. 400
Contents:
Preface. 1. The idea of the Veda and the identity of Hinduism. 2. The presence of the Veda in Indian philosophical reflection. 3.Vedic orthodoxy and the plurality of religious traditions. 4. Vedic apologetics, ritual killing, and the foundations of ethics. 5. Human reason and Vedic revelation in Advaita Vedanta. 6. Sankara, the Yoga of Patanjali, and the so-called Yogasutrabhasyavivarana. 7. The therapeutic paradigm and the search for identity in Indian philosophy. 8. Man and Self in traditional Indian thought. 9. Competing causalities: Karma, Vedic rituals, and the natural world. 10. Homo hierarchicus: the conceptualization of the Varna system in Indian thought. Index.
About the Book
This book examines, above all, the relationship between reason and Vedic revelation, and the philosophical responses to the idea of the Veda. It deals with such topics as dharma, karma and rebirth, the role of man in the universe, the motivation and justification of human actions, the relationship between ritual norms and universal ethics, and reflections on the goals and sources of human knowledge.
Halbfass presents previously unknown materials concerning the history of sectarian movements, including the notorious "Thags" (thaka), and relations between Indian and Iranian thought. The approach is partly philosophical and partly historical and philological; to a certain extent, it is also comparative.
The author explores indigenous Indian reflections on the sources, the structure and the meaning of the Hindu tradition, and traditional philosophical responses to social and historical realities. He does not deal with social and historical realities per se; rather, basing his work on the premise that to understand these realities the reflections and constructions of traditional Indian theorists are no less significant than the observations and paradigms of modern western historians and social scientists, he explores the self-understanding of such leading thinkers as Sankara, Kumarila, Bhartrhari and Udayana.

9. On Being Mindless- Buddhist Meditation and the Mind Bodhy Problem/ Paul J. Griffiths, Rs. 450
ISBN: 81-7030-606-X, Series: Bibliotheca Indo-Buddhica Series No.196
About the Book
Indian Buddhist philosophers say that it is possible to achieve, by specific meditational techniques, a distinctive ‘altered state’ which they call ‘the attainment of cessation’. In this state, the stream of mental events is temporarily brought to a complete halt: the practitioner becomes mindless. The possibility and desirability of such an altered state was extensively discussed by Buddhist thinkers in India. In these discussions, they were compelled to consider the causal connections between the mental and the physical, and thus to clarify their positions on what in the west has usually been called the mind-body problem. On Being Mindless presents these discussions to an English speaking readership for the first time, including analysis and translation of texts not previously available in English and, in some cases, of material not available in any Western language. Opposing fashionably relativistic approaches to non-Western philosophical traditions, Paul Griffiths critically comments upon the analyses of mindlessness given by Buddhist thinkers. He maintains that “the functions, nature, and limits of rationality are conceived similarly in all cultures” and rejects” that humility which, all too often in those Western academic circles where the study of Buddhist thought is carried on, refuses to take its material with philosophical seriousness”. On Being Mindless is a study in cross-cultural philosophy which should do much to increase awareness among Western scholars of the precision and subtlety of India Philosophical thinking. It may also encourage Western philosophers to look beyond the barriers of their own culture and language for serious philosophical analysis.

ISBN: 81-7030-528-4, Series: Bibliotheca Indo-Buddhica Series No. 176
About the Book
In January 1969 an unusual workshop was held at Oberlin College in Ohio - an experimental project in Buddhist meditation. It brought together a Thai Buddhist meditation teacher, the Venerable Chao Khun Sobhana Dhammasudhi, and a Zen priest, the Reverend Eshin Nishimura, to share with Professor Donald K. Swearer in instructing a group of students in the theory and practice of satipatthana and zazen, two forms of Buddhist meditation.
Secrets of the Lotus - prepared by Professor Swearer, the Venerable Dhammasudhi, and the Reverend Nishimura - grew out of this successful venture, and is designed to meet a special need. While recent books dealing with Buddhist meditation have focused on either the Zen or the Theravada tradition, this volume discusses meditation within both traditions, employing classical texts with explanatory commentary and contemporary exposition. The reader also learns exactly what happened at the experimental workshop and how the participants responded.

ISBN: 81-7030-138-6, Series: Sri Garib das Oriental Series No. 63
From the preface:
"Much has been written about Yoga ever since the Theosophists "discovered" spiritual India, and not a little of a very uninformed nature which, in place of elucidating a complex mental science, has either perplexed the student or rendered the whole subject ridiculous. In this book it is my intention to abide by facts and simultaneously introduce sufficient cross references to other mystical systems, such as western magic and the Qabalah, to show that Yoga is one of a series of means of deliverance from worldly illusions. All these systems are closely related; for, in one sense, they and many others, such as Christian mysticism, Quietism, Buddhism, Taoism and Sufism, are spiritual languages the words of which differ in sound but the meanings of which are identical."

Sacred Word and Sacred Text
Sacred Word and Sacred Text : Scripture in World Religions/Harold Coward. Reprint. Delhi, Sri Satguru, 1992, x, 222 p., ISBN 81-7030-326-5..Rs.200
Reprint. Delhi, Sri Satguru, 1992, x, 222 p., ISBN 81-7030-326-5..Rs.200
Contents: Preface. 1. Scripture in Judaism. 2. Scripture in Christianity. 3. Scripture in Islam. 4. Scripture in Hinduism. 5. Scripture in Sikhism. 6. Scripture in Buddhism. 7. Scripture and the future of religions. Notes. Index.
"In our modern western way of thinking, "scripture" as a written book is very familiar to us. Our focus of both as lay people and as Scholars is on the written or printed character of a holy text. Little attention has been given to its function as spoken and heard sacred word. The conception of scripture as written word is bolstered in our culture by the great importance that we attach to the written or printed word. In so many areas of life today, we say that unless you have something in writing, it is not to be trusted. This valuation of the written over the oral-aural experience of language is, however, characteristic of only the most recent period of western cultural history. Even today it is not typical of the way the experience of the sacred word functions in most of the world religions examined in this book. The book analysis to shows that "scripture" has been understood by more people in most times and places (other than in our own modern period) as including both the oral and the written word, and that of the two it is the oral word with its relational context that has the greater power to transform lives.
"The book proceeds by looking at each religion in turn under the heading of oral text, written text, exegesis, devotional experience of the word, and relationship to other scriptures. Throughout, the terms "scripture" and "text" are used in a generic sense as including both the oral and the written sacred word. The book concludes with a reflection on the nature and function of oral and written scripture in past religious experience, and further requirements for worship, education, and private devotion. The author has dealt with following religions, Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Sikhism, Buddhism.
"This fascinating study of the world’s sacred texts explains how the valuation of written scripture over the oral-aural experience is characteristic only of recent Western history. Even today, it is a typical of how most believers experience scripture. Sacred Word and Sacred Text demonstrate how "Scripture" historically has partaken of both the oral and the written traditions and argues that, of the two, it is the oral word which has the greater power to transform lives.
""Tremendously informative on a major current subject, scholarly, up-to-date, impressively comprehensive, and clearly written.

Dying the xGood Death;The Pilgrimage to xDie in India*s Holy City. (Banaras)
Dying the Good Death : The Pilgrimage to Die in India's Holy City/Christopher Justice. Reprint. 1997,Delhi. Sri Satguru.. Rs.300.
xxi, 268 p., 9.1 figs
,Contents: Preface. 1. Perspectives on death and dying. 2. Kashi and studying Hinduism. 3. The historical context of dying in Kashi. 4. The Kashi Labh Muktibhavan. 5. Dying as tradition. 6. Dying in a spiritual system. 7. Dying and morality. 8. Physiological dying. 9. Good death and the dying process. Afterword. Appendix: Survey questionnaire and compilation of responses. Glossary of commonly used Hindi terms. Notes. References. Index.
"Dying the Good Death is a unique ethnography, the first to focus on the experiences of dying at the end of the life cycle. In a region of northern India, some people at the end of their lives leave their villages and travel to the Hindu holy city of Kashi to die. These pilgrims expect that by dying in Kashi they will obtain the spiritual reward of moksha--liberation from the cycle of death and rebirth.
"Based on fieldwork conducted in Kashi's hospices or "Mansions of liberation," Christopher Justice introduces us to a number of dying individuals and their families, providing rich and evocative descriptions of their remarkable experiences. The social contexts of these experiences are explored through descriptions of the families who provide care and the priests who chant the name of God twenty-four hours a day. The book also has clear implications for the potential ways in which we may choose to face the ends of our lives."

However, besides being a handy reference work, the book is also an attempt to understand this information from within a tradition, and further, to follow how that understanding may have universal connotations.
"Ganapati is found everywhere: in temples, in wayside shrines, in homes, in devotee's hearts. His praises are sung. He is worshipped and adored. He is represented in art and literature. Stories are told about him. The thinkers think, the scholars scholasticise, the devotees worship. But what is Ganapati's hidden meaning? Who is he really? Side by side, seemingly incongruous facts are simultaneously found. Ganapati: An enormous popularity which transcends sectarian and territorial limits; a seemingly rather late, yet dramatic, full-blown appearance into a religious pantheon; a confusing, conflicting, yet interesting and intriguing mythology; and an elephant's head atop a plump human body! This book considers this complexity of Ganapati lore and presents possible ways of understanding it

Dilemmas of Life and Death
Dilemmas of Life and Death : Hindu Ethics in North American Context/S. Cromwell Crawford. Reprint. 1997, ix, 233 p., Delhi .Sri Satguru Rs.345
Contents: Introduction. 1. The ethics of abortion. 2. The ethics of suicide. 3. The ethics of euthanasia. 4. The ethics of the environment. Notes. Glossary. Bibliography. Index.
"This is a breakthrough work expanding the debate of the dilemmas of life and death in contemporary American society by carrying it beyond the insights of western religious and philosophic thought to include ethical perspectives of the Hindu tradition.
"The topics covered are the timely ethical issues that concern both Americans and all people of the world--abortion, suicide, euthanasia and the environment. A lively east-west dialogue probes the roots of each issue in its native setting, and the fruit of this historical approach is a clear-cut analysis of up-to-date cases, giving their current status in terms of ethics, religion, philosophy, medicine and law. Unlike traditional textbooks that concentrate on a theoretical analysis to the exclusion of practical issues, this book does justice to both theoretical and practical ethics.
"In the modern western world, heavily influenced by the achievements of science and technology, questions regarding the value of life and the individual's freedom to end it have come to occupy the center stage in recent years. Cromwell Crawford, a theologian by training and an Indian philosopher by choice, especially on Indian ethics, has devoted this volume to an examination of these issues as they appear in the American context from the standpoint of traditional Indian ethical theory. Such an approach to modern problems in ethics has not been attempted so far. The book is a valuable contribution to the ongoing east-west dialogue. It is a carefully thought out work and written in a clear and lucid style

Nature in Asian Traditions of Thought : Essays in Environmental Philosophy
Nature in Asian Traditions of Thought : Essays in Environmental Philosophy/
: Callicott, J. Baird & Ames, Roger T. (Eds.)
Year: 1991
Delhi.Sri Satguru
ISBN : 8170302609
[ 22 cm., pp. xxi+335, Figs. ]
[ Price: RS. 240.00,
For our environmental problems what is needed is a new way of looking at nature. Here, the authors turn to the Asian tradition. Asking if they can provide us with conceptual resources for addressing environmental concerns. Western environmental philosophers and some of our most distinguished representatives of Asian and comparative philosophy critically consider what Asia has to offer. The first section provides an ecological world view as a basis for comparison. Subsequent section include chapters by leading contemporary scholars in Chinese, Japanese, Indian, and Buddhist thought that explore the Western perception of Asian traditions-the perception that Asian philosophy is a rich conceptual resource for contemporary environmental thinkers. This book promises to provide an intellectual and an ethical incentive which will encourage its Western audience to reflect on the course of Western history that has led to the concerns addressed within. It would serve as valuable reading for anyone who is interested in the environment and in exploring new and traditionally Asian approaches to this crucial subject-Shigenori Nagatomo, Temple University

Under an approved in house research project of National Botanical Research Institute (NBRI), Lucknow, ethnobotanical studies of the tribals and aboriginal populations were conducted in 13 districts of Uttar Pradesh and Uttaranchal inhabited by 18 tribes mainly among the Tharus, Kols, Gonds, Bhoxas, Kharwars, Jaunsaris, Bhotias, Garhwalis, Mushars, Baigas etc. in different seasons with a view to gather ethnobotanical informations on the traditional uses of plants and to uncover new plants of potential economic and medicinal value or new uses of known plants during the last 18 years by the scientists of ethnobotany group. The resource inventory of plant genetic resources used by the tribes, local inhabitants foresters, vaidyas and other knowledgeable informants of the region for food, fibre, medicine, oil, gums, dyes tannin, tribal crafts, narcotic, drinks and for antifertility and aphrodisic medicines, were prepared and documented. The studies have brought to light new indigenous knowledge on many species of useful plants.
The present book highlights 450 plant species used in the life and economy of the tribals for meeting the day-to-day needs and healthcare. Plants species of the forest flora utilized for food, firbre, medicines, oils, gums, resin, dyes, basketry, timber, wood work, fish poison, religious ceremonies, narcotics, drinks, etc. have been enumerated here along with their processing methods and uses. The valuable ethnobotanical plant resources are divided into 15 groups on the basis of their uses and the products obtained from them. The species are arranged under each group alphabetically, giving information on their botanical name, family name in parenthesis followed by local name and the tribes. The book also provides information on some potential threatened ethnomedicinal plants and suggests their conservation measures in their own agro climatic ecosystems. The plant species enumerated in ethno medicinal plants group needs further phytochemical, pharmacological, clininical investigations for isolation of potential drugs for standardization and validation of useful green medicines and herbal preparations for human welfare and healthcare. The book will serve as a database and serve as a potential source of information and useful tools to the students, teachers, researchers, botanists, foresters, environmentalists, conservationists practitioners of herbal medicines, planners and administrators for preparing Developmental Action Plans (DAP) for the tribal tracts through Integrated Tribal Developmental Programme (ITDP), extension programmes for the welfare and upliftment of rural tribals, aboriginal populations as well as modern society.

Religious Pluralism and Truth - Essays on Cross-Cultural Philosophy of Religion/ Edited by Thomas
Religious Pluralism and Truth
Essays on Cross - Cultural Philosophy of Religion
Edited by Thomas Dean
Sri Garib Dass Oriental Series No. 213
Sri Satguru Publications (Delhi), ISBN: 81-7030524-1
Price: Rs. 400
About the Book
This book is an introduction to cross-cultural philosophy of religion. It presents an alternative to Western-oriented philosophy of religion by focusing on questions of truth in the context of religious pluralism, including the criteria, models, and hermeneutics of cross-cultural truth in religion. The essays included are by some of the leading philosophers of religion and scholars in comparative religious thought such as Ninian Smart, Raimundo Panikkar, Harold Coward, William Wainwright, William Christian Sr., and Frederick Streng.
Thomas Dean is Associate Professor in the Department of Religion at Temple University. He is co-founder of the newly-established International Association of Asian Philosophy and Religion.
"This anthology helpfully and provocatively questions many current assumptions in various schools of scholarship about the value-free nature, or ethical, cultural, and rational relativism, inherent to the comparative study of religions. This I think in itself makes the book important and helpful. Moreover, many of the essays suggest and evaluate possible normative-constructive criteria appropriate to the cross-cultural philosophy of religion, and some essays also helpfully raise and clarify some of the methodological weaknesses of past comparative studies."
Michael Stoeber, The Catholic University of America

"In their introductions, the editors provide a historical setting in which to discuss Hindu mythology as well as a full analysis of its basic sources.

"In 1805 H.T. Colebrooke, wrote an elaborate essay on the Vedas in the Asiatic Researches. This essay created a lot of interest in Europe to take up Vedic studies seriously. The efforts to study were directed towards three points: 1. Critical editions of the Vedic text. 2. Translations of those texts and. 3. Study of those texts in order to get acquainted with ancient Indian Culture and Philosophy.
"It was H.H. Wilson, who for the first time translated entirely the Rgveda into English. H.H. Wilson based his English translation on the commentary of Sayanacharya and has given his own interpretations in the notes wherever there are differences with the commentary. This is prose English translation of the Rgveda with exhaustive notes."
Thanking You

The Gita - A Theory of Human Action
The Gita
A Theory of Human Action
By S. S. More
Sri Garib Das Oriental Series No. 97
Sri Satguru Publications (Delhi), ISBN: 81-7030-222-7
Price: Rs. 250
About the Book
Number of persons both Indian and Western have written on the Gita and put forth different interpretations of it. Yet, many of them suffer from the fallacy of either omission or commission. Some of them, severing the Gita from the Mahabharata, consider the first chapter of the Gita along with the initial ten verses of its second chapter to be utterly redundant. On the other hand, many interpreters read in the Gita what they want it to champion without considering whether it would be appropriate and defensible for the Gita to do so.
For the first time in the Gita scholarship the world over, in this book the Gita is sought to be interpreted on the background of its Mahabharata setting. It is argued that Krsna's socio-centric theory of warrantability of human action on social level, inclusive of indulgence in intra-community war, is superior to any theory about it which was then current and squarely and satisfactorily answers every major problem concerning human action, no matter whether it was raised by Arjuna or anybody else. The book cogently argues its central point and supports it on the basis of extensive data gathered from various sourses.
About the Author
Dr S.S. More, M.A., Ph.D. in Philosophy and also M.A. in Ancient Indian History and Culture from Poona University, is a Lecturer in Philosophy. He has to his credit a collection of critical essays in Cultural history of India.
The work published in Marathi has been appreciated by scholars. Besides, he also has number of papers on different theses published in different journals, and some of them have been greatly appreciated by persons of intellectual standing.

Tao Sheng’s Commentary on the Lotus Sutra : A Study and Translation/Young Ho Kim
Tao Sheng’s Commentary on the Lotus Sutra : A Study and Translation/Young Ho Kim. Delhi, Satguru, 1992, 374 p., Rs.400. ISBN 81-7030-306-0.
Contents: Preface. I. Introduction: 1. Tao-Sheng’s prehistory: the state of Buddhist studies in China. 2. Tao-Sheng’s biography. 3. Tao-Sheng’s works. 4. Tao-Sheng’s doctrines. 5. Tao-Sheng’s influence and the impact of his doctrines. II. A critical study of Tao-Sheng’s commentary on the Lotus Sutra: 6. Tao-sheng and the Saddharmapundarika. 7. Literary aspects. 8. Central ideas. 9. Traces of Tao-Sheng’s doctrines. 10. Conclusions. III. Translation. Bibliography. Index.
"(Chu) Tao Sheng stands out in history as a unique and preeminent thinker whose paradigmatic, original ideas paved the way for the advent of Chinese Buddhism, The Universality of Buddha nature, which Tao-Sheng Championed at the cost of excommunication, was to become a cornerstone of the Chinese Buddhist ideology. This book presents a comprehensive study of the only complete document by Tao-Sheng still in existence. The work was composed toward the end of Tao-Sheng’s life (in 432), a product of his mature scholarship, presumably incorporating the doctrines pronounced earlier. The aim of this study are twofold: (1) to prepare a faithfull, undistorted translation of the commentary in its entirety, in order to provide a basis and vantage point for further study and understanding of Tao-Sheng; and (2) to attempt to illuminate Tao-Sheng’s system of religious knowledge by examining the commentary in conjunction with other doctrines and writings, and thus to evaluate Tao-Sheng’s contribution to implanting (or transplanting) the alien religious system in Chinese soil. Of course, the two objectives are not to be seen as separate tasks; they are closely bound up with one another.

The Meaning of the term DHARMA
The Central Conception of Buddhism and the meaning of the term Dharma (Bibliotheca Indo Buddhica Series No. 91)
By Th. Stcherbatsky
Sri Satguru Publications (Delhi), ISBN: 81-7030-280-3
Price: Rs.70
About The Book
The work explains in detail the principle of Radical Pluralism which asserts that the elements alone are realities while every combination of them is a mere name covering a plurality of separate elements. The conception of a dharma is the central point of the Buddhist doctrine. In the light of this conception Buddhism discloses itself as a metaphysical theory developed out of one fundamental principle, viz. the idea that existence is an interplay of a plurality of subtle, ultimate, not further analysable elements of Matter, Mind, and Forces. These elements are technically called dharmas, a meaning which this word has in this system alone. Buddhism, accordingly, can be characterized as a system of Radical Pluralism.
The book is divided into sixteen sections dealing with the Skandhas, ayatanas, dhatus, Elements of matter, Elements of mind, Forces, Anatma, Pratityasamutpada, Karma, Impermanence of the Elements, Impermanence in Sankhya-Yoga, Unrest of the Elements, Theory of Cognition, Pre-Buddhaic Buddhism etc.
It has two appendices dealing with the views of Vasubandhu on the fundamental principles of Sarvastivada and classification of all elements of existence according to the Sarvastivadins. The two indices record proper names and Sanskrit terms occuring in the work.
Contents:
: Preface. 1. Preliminary. 2. Skandhas. 3. Ayatanas. 4. Dhatus. 5. Elements of matter. 6. Elements of mind. 7. Forces. 8. Non-substantiality of elements. 9. Pratitya Samutpada (Causality). 10. Karma. 11. Impermanence of the elements. 12. Impermanence in Sankhya Yoga. 13. Unrest of the elements. 14. Theory of cognition. 15. Pre-Buddhaic Buddhism. 16. Summary
Appendix: 1. Vasubandhu on the fundamental principle of the Sarvastivada School
Appendix: 2. Tables of the elements according to the Sarvastivadins.

About the Book
Under an approved in house research project of National Botanical Research Institute (NBRI), Lucknow, ethnobotanical studies of the tribals and aboriginal populations were conducted in 13 districts of Uttar Pradesh and Uttaranchal inhabited by 18 tribes mainly among the Tharus, Kols, Gonds, Bhoxas, Kharwars, Jaunsaris, Bhotias, Garhwalis, Mushars, Baigas etc. in different seasons with a view to gather ethnobotanical informations on the traditional uses of plants and to uncover new plants of potential economic and medicinal value or new uses of known plants during the last 18 years by the scientists of ethnobotany group. The resource inventory of plant genetic resources used by the tribes, local inhabitants foresters, vaidyas and other knowledgeable informants of the region for food, fibre, medicine, oil, gums, dyes tannin, tribal crafts, narcotic, drinks and for antifertility and aphrodisic medicines, were prepared and documented. The studies have brought to light new indigenous knowledge on many species of useful plants.
The present book highlights 450 plant species used in the life and economy of the tribals for meeting the day-to-day needs and healthcare. Plants species of the forest flora utilized for food, firbre, medicines, oils, gums, resin, dyes, basketry, timber, wood work, fish poison, religious ceremonies, narcotics, drinks, etc. have been enumerated here along with their processing methods and uses. The valuable ethnobotanical plant resources are divided into 15 groups on the basis of their uses and the products obtained from them. The species are arranged under each group alphabetically, giving information on their botanical name, family name in parenthesis followed by local name and the tribes. The book also provides information on some potential threatened ethnomedicinal plants and suggests their conservation measures in their own agro climatic ecosystems. The plant species enumerated in ethno medicinal plants group needs further phytochemical, pharmacological, clininical investigations for isolation of potential drugs for standardization and validation of useful green medicines and herbal preparations for human welfare and healthcare. The book will serve as a database and serve as a potential source of information and useful tools to the students, teachers, researchers, botanists, foresters, environmentalists, conservationists practitioners of herbal medicines, planners and administrators for preparing Developmental Action Plans (DAP) for the tribal tracts through Integrated Tribal Developmental Programme (ITDP), extension programmes for the welfare and upliftment of rural tribals, aboriginal populations as well as modern society.

Tradition and Reflection/ Wilhelm Halbfass
Tradition and Reflection
Explorations in Indian Thought
By Wilhelm Halbfass
Sri Satguru Publications (Delhi), ISBN 81-7030-300-1
Price: Rs. 400
Contents:
Preface. 1. The idea of the Veda and the identity of Hinduism. 2. The presence of the Veda in Indian philosophical reflection. 3.Vedic orthodoxy and the plurality of religious traditions. 4. Vedic apologetics, ritual killing, and the foundations of ethics. 5. Human reason and Vedic revelation in Advaita Vedanta. 6. Sankara, the Yoga of Patanjali, and the so-called Yogasutrabhasyavivarana. 7. The therapeutic paradigm and the search for identity in Indian philosophy. 8. Man and Self in traditional Indian thought. 9. Competing causalities: Karma, Vedic rituals, and the natural world. 10. Homo hierarchicus: the conceptualization of the Varna system in Indian thought. Index.
About the Book
This book examines, above all, the relationship between reason and Vedic revelation, and the philosophical responses to the idea of the Veda. It deals with such topics as dharma, karma and rebirth, the role of man in the universe, the motivation and justification of human actions, the relationship between ritual norms and universal ethics, and reflections on the goals and sources of human knowledge.
Halbfass presents previously unknown materials concerning the history of sectarian movements, including the notorious "Thags" (thaka), and relations between Indian and Iranian thought. The approach is partly philosophical and partly historical and philological; to a certain extent, it is also comparative.
The author explores indigenous Indian reflections on the sources, the structure and the meaning of the Hindu tradition, and traditional philosophical responses to social and historical realities. He does not deal with social and historical realities per se; rather, basing his work on the premise that to understand these realities the reflections and constructions of traditional Indian theorists are no less significant than the observations and paradigms of modern western historians and social scientists, he explores the self-understanding of such leading thinkers as Sankara, Kumarila, Bhartrhari and Udayana.

Dattatreya;The Immortal Guru
Dattatreya : The Immortal Guru, Yogin, and Avatara : A Study of the Transformative and Inclusive Character of a Multi-Faceted Hindu Deity/Antonio Rigopoulos. Reprint. First published in 1998. Delhi, Satguru, 2000, 342 p., pic., RS.300. ISBN 81-7030-673-6.
Contents: Preface. 1. The genealogy of Dattatreya. 2. Puranic mythology of Dattatreya. 3. Dattatreya in minor Upanisads. 4. Dattatreya in the literature of the Mahanubhavas. 5. The Guru-caritra and the rise of the Dattatreya cult. 6. Eknath, Dasopant, and the unfolding of the Dattatreya movement. 7. The Tripura-rahasya. 8. The Avadhuta-gita. 9. The development of Dattatreya’s iconography. Conclusion. General bibliography. Selected bibliography on Dattatreya and his movement. Index.
From the preface: “This study presents the main phases in the making of the Hindu deity Dattatreya, from its Puranic emergence as an immortal Guru, Yogin, and Avatara, up to its celebration as the trimurti of Brahma, Visnu, and Siva. Focusing on the origin and development of this particular deity, one is brought into touch with virtually all major religious strands of that complex network of religions called Hinduism. Its assimilative force is witnessed by the variety of communities which appropriated Dattatreya from within an overall nondual philosophical framework: from the world of antinomian Tantrism to the world of Brahminical ritual orthodoxy, passing through the renunciatory milieux of Yoga, the Mahanubhava sect, Vaisnava devotionalism, Saiva asceticism, Saktism and Devi worship. Although one might envision the presence of plural Dattatreyas, construed in different ways within each given community, I would rather opt for the existence of a single multifaceted deity, constantly absorbing new traits in an ongoing process of cross-fertilization. Significantly, Dattatreya’s catalyzing force extends beyond the boundaries of Hinduism, also being linked to popular Sufism and Jainism.”
[Antonio Rigopoulos also wrote The Life and Teachings of Sai Baba of Shirdi.]

"What is it like to be a Buddha? Is there only one Buddha or are there many? What can Buddhas do and what do they know? Is there anything they cannot do and cannot know? These and associated questions were much discussed by Buddhist thinkers in India, and a complex and subtle set of doctrinal positions was developed to deal with them. This is the first book in a western language to treat these doctrines about Buddha from a philosophical and thoroughly critical viewpoint.
"The book shows that Buddhist thinkers were driven, when theorizing about Buddha, by a basic intuition that Buddha must be maximally perfect, and that pursuing the implications of this intuition led them into some conceptual dilemmas that show considerable similarity to some of those treated by western theists. The Indian Buddhist tradition of thought about these matters is presented here as thoroughly systematic, analytical, and doctrinal.
"The book's analysis is based almost entirely upon original sources in their original languages. All extracts discussed are translated into English and the book is accessible to nonspecialists, while still treating material that has not been much discussed by western scholars

Appendix, Glossary, Bibliography, Index.
About the Book:
This is a translation of the first fifteen stories of the thirteenth century Sinhala work, the Saddharma Ratnavaliya written by the monk Dharmasena. The Saddharma Ratnavaliya is in turn an expanded version of the fifth century Pali work, the Dhammapadaattakata.
The stories are lively and entertaining, of interest to the general reader and the specialist. A skilled teacher, and reconteur, the author probes the depths of Buddhist philosophical doctrine and makes it meaningful for his lay audiences. Generations of Sri Lankans have read, heard and enjoyed the stories. They deal with the vicissitudes of the human condition and so, like all good literature have a timeless relevance and appeal.
It is a fascinating and rich repository of Buddhist culture from which I have learned much - the tales are so beguiling, and the imagery so striking.
Steven Collins, Concordia University
I like best the success with which the translator has been able to capture both the content and the flavor of the original . The translator accomplishes this task admirably, moving comfortably and authoritatively between the two languages, epochs, and cultures. All this, while preserving the leisurily flow and rhythm of the original, too. It is an elegant, beautiful work that also conforms to rigorous scholarly standards

Introduction to Indian Philosophy
Tradition and Reflection
Explorations in Indian Thought
By Wilhelm Halbfass
Sri Satguru Publications (Delhi), ISBN 81-7030-300-1
Price: Rs. 400
Contents:
Preface. 1. The idea of the Veda and the identity of Hinduism. 2. The presence of the Veda in Indian philosophical reflection. 3.Vedic orthodoxy and the plurality of religious traditions. 4. Vedic apologetics, ritual killing, and the foundations of ethics. 5. Human reason and Vedic revelation in Advaita Vedanta. 6. Sankara, the Yoga of Patanjali, and the so-called Yogasutrabhasyavivarana. 7. The therapeutic paradigm and the search for identity in Indian philosophy. 8. Man and Self in traditional Indian thought. 9. Competing causalities: Karma, Vedic rituals, and the natural world. 10. Homo hierarchicus: the conceptualization of the Varna system in Indian thought. Index.
About the Book
This book examines, above all, the relationship between reason and Vedic revelation, and the philosophical responses to the idea of the Veda. It deals with such topics as dharma, karma and rebirth, the role of man in the universe, the motivation and justification of human actions, the relationship between ritual norms and universal ethics, and reflections on the goals and sources of human knowledge.
Halbfass presents previously unknown materials concerning the history of sectarian movements, including the notorious "Thags" (thaka), and relations between Indian and Iranian thought. The approach is partly philosophical and partly historical and philological; to a certain extent, it is also comparative.
The author explores indigenous Indian reflections on the sources, the structure and the meaning of the Hindu tradition, and traditional philosophical responses to social and historical realities. He does not deal with social and historical realities per se; rather, basing his work on the premise that to understand these realities the reflections and constructions of traditional Indian theorists are no less significant than the observations and paradigms of modern western historians and social scientists, he explores the self-understanding of such leading thinkers as Sankara, Kumarila, Bhartrhari and Udayana.

The Compendium on Ganesha
The Compendium on Ganesa
By S.K. Ramachandra Rao
Sri Satguru Publications (Delhi), ISBN 81-7030-828-3
Price: Rs. 500
Contents:
Introduction. 1. The Vedic background. 2. In the Smrti context. 3. Tantrik involvements. 4. Myths and legends. 5. Forms for worship.
From the introduction: "Ganesa's popularity is manifold. He is the favourite God of the masses. He is also the favourite subject for curio-hunters and collectors of icons. Painters and sculptors have revelled in depicting this God in a variety of forms and postures. The Tantrik practitioners have found in him a benevolent power, quick to acquire and enduring in nature. There is no religious group in the country which dispenses with his services. And more importantly, Ganesa has been subjected to endless enquiry about his origin, nature, significance, symbolism and cultic involvement. Research scholars have surrounded him with diverse theories: sociological, anthropological, cultural, historical, literary and linguistic, political and economic answers are suggested to be the secret of his popularity; agriculture, hunting, elephant capture, formation of early totemistic communities, and strife amongst them are sought to be seen in the background of this deity. Excessive use of imagination appears to be the undercurrent in all such studies, which have also incidentally brought to surface many interesting aspects of Ganesa-worship.
Literature about Ganesa is remarkable, varied and large. Every Indian language has works bearing on this deity and on his worship. Works in Sanskrit, which appear to have provided the main source material for all of them, are themselves large in number and varied in nature : puranas, kalpas, paddhatis, sadhanas, vidhis and namavalis. Representations of Ganesa in stone, metal, clay and wood, and in painting are equally numerous and varied."

Umapati’s Commentary on the Pauskaratantra, Chapter 7: Pramana
Umapati’s Commentary on the Pauskaratantra, Chapter 7: Pramana
By Usha Colas-Chauhan
Sri Satguru Publications (Delhi), ISBN : 81-7030-857-7
299 Pages, Price: Rs. 500
Sri Garib Das Oriental Series No. 311
About the Book:
The Pauskara, belonging to the class of literature generally known as Tantra or Agama, is an important text for the comprehension of saiva Philosophy. The seventh chapter of its doctrinal section (jnanapada) is not only a remarkable source of information on saiva epistemology, but also a gold-mine of significant elements valuable for the study of early Indian logic. Umapati’s commentary on this chapter introduces new features, sometimes in a post-15th century navyanyaya dialectical style, and bears testimony to the evolution of saiva epistemology. This translation aims to bring an important aspect of saiva philosophy to the attention of scholars and to facilitate comparative studies saiva epistemology.

"Shri Vallabhacharyas Sri Subodhini, is available only for the 1, 2, 3, 10 and few chapters of the 11 canto of Sri Bhagavatam. Sri Subodhini is considered as the most detailed commentary, among all the available commentaries, of Sri Bhagavatam.
"In this volume, 6 chapters of the 10 canto are dealt with, with the original verse of Sri Bhagavatam, it’s English meaning, the text of Sri Subodhini, in Sanskrit and it’s English meaning. Where ever necessary, the commentaries/explanations given by Shri Gosainji (Shri Vitthalnatha), Shri Vallabhji, Shri Laloo Bhatji and Shri Purushothamji have been also added.
"The 6 chapters respectively deal with (1) the grace of our Lord on the wives of the Brahmins in Brindavan (2) the worship of "Govardhana" mountain by preventing the "sacrifice" for Indra. (3) The lifting of "Govardhana" mountain (4) the discussion about the "glory and greatness" of our Lord between Nandagopa and other Gopas; (5) the holy event of "Govinda Pattabhishekam" (coronation or annointing ceremony of our Lord) (6) bringing back Nandagopa from the world of Varuna."

a Sanskrit Grammer for Students/Arthur A.Macdonell
A Sanskrit Grammar for Students/Arthur A. Macdonell. Reprint. 1997, 264 p., Delhi.Sri Satguru Rs.100
Contents: Preface. Introduction. 1. The alphabet. 2. Euphonic combination. 3. Declension. 4. Conjugation. 5. Indeclinable words. 6. Nominal stem formation and compounds. 7. Syntax. Appendices: 1. List of verbs. 2. Metre in classical Sanskrit. 3. Chief peculiarities of Vedic grammar. Sanskrit index. General index.
"Projecting, with well-chosen examples, a whole mass of grammatical forms to be met with in the post-Vedic Sanskrit literature, the author systematically explains the mechanics of its euphonic combinations (sandhi), declension, conjugation, nominal stem formation and compounds, and a lot else -- with complete insights into the syntactical arrangement of Sanskrit sentence. Supported by several information-packaged appendices, the book also carries a brilliant resume of the Sanskrit grammatical tradition going back to the 5th century BC.
"Now typeset anew with the latest technological aids, the late Macdonell's work today remains as much indispensable to the students of Sanskrit as to the scholars, who seek to discover for themselves the splendour of its literary classics

Mysticism in the Indian Tradition
Mysticism in the Indian Tradition
By Noel Boreham
Sri Satguru Publications (Delhi), ISBN: 81-7030-218-7
Price Rs. 60
About the Book:
Mysticism is the state of pure consciousness . The Mystical State is achieved when all sensory information is suppressed and the mind emptied of all empirical content.
The Hindu tradition covers manyy ages. The Upanisads gave to India the most direct interpretation 'Thou art That' . The Bhagvadgita concentrated on the various complementary paths to the Ultimate, knowledge, love and devotion.
The profound teachings of Shankara were the next major development . Buddhism seeks to overcome this belief and thus bring the Buddhist state of Nirvana.
The expansion of the Muslims brought Sufism to India. Sufis teach, like all mystics, that Reality is to be experienced here and now.
Contents:
Mysticism: The source of Religious Experience, Hinduism, Buddhism, Sufism, Conclusion, Footnotes, Bibliography.

Readings in Eastern Religions/Harold Coward, Eva Dargyay and Ronald Neufeldt. Reprint. Delhi, Sri Satguru, 1997, vii, 368 p., ISBN 81-7030-540-3. Rs.450
Contents: Preface. Introduction. Names and terms in Asian languages. 1. Hinduism. 2. Jainism. 3. Buddhism. 4. Sikhism. 5. Early Chinese thought. 6. Confucian thought. 7. Taoist thought. 8. Mao tse Tung. 9. Shinto. 10. New religions. Glossary.
"Developed principally for use in introductory courses in the study of religious traditions of the East, this anthology offers a selection of readings from primary texts of India, China, and Japan.
"The selections are arranged both chronologically and thematically within religious traditions and include readings from Hinduism, Jainism, Buddhism (including Tibetan Buddhism), Sikhism, Early Chinese thought, Confucianism, Taoism, Mao Tse Tung, Shintoism, and Japan’s new religions (Tenrikyo and Sokka Gakkai).

The Nyaya Sutras; A New Commentary on an Old Text,/Daya Krishna
The Nyaya Sutras;A New Commentary on an Old Text/Daya Krishna
www.srisatgurupublications.blogspot.com
www.indologystudies.blogspot.com
The Nyaya Sutras : A New Commentary on an Old Text/Daya Krishna. Delhi, Sri Satguru, 2004, vi, 308 p., ISBN 81-7030-800-3.
Contents: Introduction. 1. The structure of the Nyaya Sutras. 2. Questions and problems pertaining to the Sutras : a dialogue with the text and development of a new methodology for understanding the Sutras. 3. Some further reflections on the Sutras after reading the commentaries on it, particularly those of Vatsyayana, Uddyotakara, Vacaspati Misra I and Udayana. 4. A short note on Jayanta and Bhasarvajna. 5. The possible extension of the methodology for the understanding of other texts in the Indian tradition. 6. Conclusion. Appendices.
"The work attempts at reviving the age old commentarial tradition of India in the changing context of contemporary philosophising which now accepts no national or civilizational boundaries.
It also develops a new methodology for 'interrogating' the ancient texts and 'understanding' them in the light of the questions they pose and the problems they tried to deal with.
The work takes into account the commentaries of Vatsyayana, Uddyotakara, Vacaspati Misra I and Udayana and tries to highlight the philosophical issues they were concerned with, and the differences between them in this regard. It also takes note of the work of Jayanta Bhatta and Bhasarvajna and attempts to see the history of Nyaya in the first one thousand years of its history from Gautama to Udayana in a new way and suggests that the formulations and solutions offered by these thinkers be seen independently of the fact that they are generally considered as belonging to a particular school of philosophy, that is, Nyaya and not as thinkers concerned with philosophical problems per se. There philosophical insights, thus 'freed' would become available to the "Living Philosophical Thought" of today.
The approach and the methodology though exemplified in the case of the text of the Nyaya Sutras only, needs to be extended to other texts of the Indian tradition so that they may become a 'living' part of contemporary thinking in India and elsewhere

Indian Books Centre/ Sri Satguru Publications - History..
Book Barons of Delhi
DHARMA DRIVEN
Indian Books Centre
Men with a mission to make meaningful books
Religious fervor fuels the two erudite and gregarious brothers who pilot Sri Satguru Publications, the publishing arm of Indian Books Centre. "God willed us into this business," Naresh and Sunil Gupta, the proprietors and managers, concur conclusively. "We are religious, and this is our destiny," adds Naresh. "Our wish is that our books will in some way uplift, inspire or educate the reader. But at least we know that they are not leading anyone astray." Sunil chimes in, "We fully expect that they will help people to follow the right path."
True to their calling, their debut book was the Shiv Samhita. Later, they released major works such as the 7-volume anthology of Mimamsakosah, by Swami Kevalananda Saraswati, and the complete Encyclopedia of Indian Philosophy. "As we are Hindus," explains Naresh, "we publish about Ayurveda, Vastushastra and all the sacred sciences which are allied to Hinduism."
While they look to their Lord for inspiration, they rely on God-given management skills for success. "We are in business to publish books for sale, not to fill shelves in our stores," asserts Sunil. "It is our policy not to accept subsidies, so the title has to be absolutely saleable," Naresh elaborates. "In the beginning, we had to look for titles, but now that we have our reputation, authors approach us. We consider the novelty, content and language and ask ourselves, would this be suitable for the general reader or academicians only? Thus different criteria are used for different subjects."
Being the newest publisher in Delhi, it is fitting that they have taken the lead in the freshest market--internet sales. Their home page on the world wide web--www.indianbookscentre.com-has greatly enhanced their export sales. But, according to Naresh, the brothers have noticed that "In the last two to three years the Indian market has grown substantially, and there is vast potential. Earlier, we never concentrated on sales in India."
When asked if their parents lived with them, Naresh, in a sudden break from his cool corporate composure, quipped a terse "No." Then he sallied, "We live with them, and there is a vast difference. They are the head of our family, which is one unit. We do not worry about the future in heated competition with others. For we wish to maintain a religious household. We believe that we each have our karmas to live through and dharma to fulfill. Thus we are content."

This is a translation of the first fifteen stories of the thirteenth century Sinhala work, the Saddharma Ratnavaliya written by the monk Dharmasena. The Saddharma Ratnavaliya is in turn an expanded version of the fifth century Pali work, the Dhammapadaattakata.
The stories are lively and entertaining, of interest to the general reader and the specialist.

Generations of Sri Lankans have read, heard and enjoyed the stories. They deal with the vicissitudes of the human condition and so, like all good literature have a timeless relevance and appeal.
It is a fascinating and rich repository of Buddhist culture from which I have learned much - the tales are so beguiling, and the imagery so striking.

Saddharma Ratnavaliya - Saddharmaratnāvaliya / Dhammapadaattakata
Jewels of the Doctrine
Stories of the Saddharma Ratnavaliya - Dharmasena Thera
Translated by Ranjini Obeyesekere
Bibliotheca Indo Buddhica Series No. 102
Sri Satguru Publications (Delhi), ISBN 81-7030-307-9.
xxx, 259 pages.

Contents:
Introduction. The Saddharma Ratnavaliya: 1. The monk Cakkhupala. 2. Mattakundali. 3. The senior monk Nagasena. 4. The monk Tissa the fat. 5. The demoness Kali. 6. The monks of Kosamba. 7. The monk Mahakala. 8. Wearing the Ochre Robe. 9. The chief disciples. 10. The senior monk Nanda. 11. The pig-killer Cunda. 12. The lay devotee, Dhammika. 13. Devadatta. 14. Samandevi. 15.

Appendix, Glossary, Bibliography, Index.
About the Book:
This is a translation of the first fifteen stories of the thirteenth century Sinhala work, the Saddharma Ratnavaliya written by the monk Dharmasena. The Saddharma Ratnavaliya is in turn an expanded version of the fifth century Pali work, the Dhammapadaattakata.
The stories are lively and entertaining, of interest to the general reader and the specialist. A skilled teacher, and reconteur, the author probes the depths of Buddhist philosophical doctrine and makes it meaningful for his lay audiences. Generations of Sri Lankans have read, heard and enjoyed the stories. They deal with the vicissitudes of the human condition and so, like all good literature have a timeless relevance and appeal.
It is a fascinating and rich repository of Buddhist culture from which I have learned much - the tales are so beguiling, and the imagery so striking.
Steven Collins, Concordia University
I like best the success with which the translator has been able to capture both the content and the flavor of the original . The translator accomplishes this task admirably, moving comfortably and authoritatively between the two languages, epochs, and cultures. All this, while preserving the leisurily flow and rhythm of the original, too. It is an elegant, beautiful work that also conforms to rigorous scholarly standards

ABOUT THE BOOK
The Agama literature includes the Silpa-Sastra, which is basic to iconography. Worship dealt with in the Agama necessarily involves images which are worship-worthy. The rituals and sequences that are elaborated in the Agama books find relevance only in the context of an icon which is contained in a shrine. And icons are meaningful only in the context of shrines and worship.
Agama texts are not easily accessible to the people. A large number of them are still available only in manuscripts; some of them which have been printed are only in their Sanskrit originals. There is need, therefore, to present relevant excerpts from them at least, to make the volumes on iconography more meaningful.
Further, Indian temples are to be considered only in the general framework of temple culture, which include not only religious and philosophical aspects but social, aesthetic and economic aspects also.
The volumes named Agama encyclopaedia deals with the temple culture and Agama framework, the sectarian division of the agama into Saiva, Vaisnava and Sakta, and the topics selected from the Agama, texts follow.

Buddhist economics. 9. Buddhism and education. 10. Crime and social control. 11. Violence, terrorism and Buddhism. 12. Alcohol and intoxicants. 13. Buddhist philosophy of health. 14. Bibliography. Index.
"Buddhist Sociology" attempts to build a system of sociology from early Buddhist thought. For this purpose, the author utilises the original Pali sources, and builds the system carefully, making use of the available Buddhist tradition too. He adopts a sociological cum anthropological approach, enriching it by experiences derived from Buddhist thought itself. In a world such as ours where we are tired and wary of ready-made theories, this excursion into Buddhist sociology brings a welcome change. It opens up an alternative way of thinking and living to all of us.
"The author explains what the method in Buddhist thought is, and then goes to deal with topics such as family, socialization, political and economic theories, women in Buddhist society, social problems, education, health and crime and punishment.

Jung and Eastern Thought
Jung and Eastern Thought/
Coward, Harold. Delhi Sri Satguru.Rs.200
Jung and Eastern Thought is an assessment of the impact of the East on Jung’s life and teaching. Along with the strong and continuing interest in the psychology of Carl Jung is a growing awareness of the extent to which Eastern Thought especially Indian ideas, influenced his thinking. This book indentifies those influences that he found useful and those he rejected. In Hindu, Buddhist, and Taoist cultures, yoga is a central conception and practice. Jung was at once fascinated and critical of yoga. Part I of the book examine’s Jung’s encounter with yoga and his strong warning against the uncritical adoption of yoga by against the uncritical adoption of yoga by the modern West. In Part II Jung’s love/hate relationship with Eastern thought is examined in light of his attitude toward karma and rebirth, Kundalini yoga, mysticism, and Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras. Cowards’ observations are rounded out by contributions from J.Borelli and J. Jordens. Dr. Borelli’s Annotated Bibliography is an invaluable contribution to bibliographic material on jung, yoga, and Eastern Thought. A special feature is the introduction by Joseph Henderson, Jung’s most senior North American student and one of the few Jungians to have recognized the important influence of the East on Jung’s thinking

Other Side of Death - Upanisadic Eschatology
Other Side of Death - Upanisadic Eschatology
Author: William A. Borman
Price Rs. 100
Imprint : Sri Satguru Publications
The author says that while other classical thanatological texts map a wide range of after-death courses, only the Upanisads give a systematic interpretation of the principle after-death paths, as so many natural routes to the realization of our own native immortality.
The author provides fresh interpretations of the pedagogy and metaphorical language of the Upanisads. He further demonstrates their sybological construction and meditative intent of these texts. Finally, Dr. Borman explores his analysis in the light of the Evolutionary Spiritualism of Swami Ramananda and the near-death investigations of Dr. Raymond Moody.

Tapta-Marga
Tapta-Marga/ Walter O. Kaelber
Tapta-Marga
Asceticism and Initiation in Vedic India
Walter O. Kaelber
Delhi,Sri Satguru. Rs.200.
About the Book
"Kaelber takes a subject which looks obscure at first sight, digests, distills, and comments on a difficult body of scholarship, and then writes about it in a way that is easily accessible to any beginning reader on the subject while at the same time fresh, abrim with new insights, and a stimulating read for the scholar. He achieves this by persistently showing how tapas, in its many transformations, remains at the center of the mainstream of Vedic religion from its beginnings to its Upanishadic 'end.' I see this book as something we have long needed for the teaching of Hinduism: a good book with which to introduce students to the continuities of Vedic religion." -- Alf Hiltebeitel, George Washington University
This is the most comprehensive study yet made of tapas and of asceticism during the Vedic period. It also explains three other essential components of Vedic thought: sacrifice, homology, and knowledge. These concepts, along with tapas and initiation symbolism, reveal the heart of Vedic religion. therefore, this study presents a "history of Vedic religion," organized around the central building blocks of that tradition.
"This is an excellent study of an important topic in the history of Vedic religion. What I like best about the work is the way it reveals the variety of meanings and uses of tapas in different contexts to establish connections between natural, human, and cosmic realities and to maintain continuity between ritual tradition and the path of knowledge. This is a creative study that provides important new insights into the basic principles of Vedic religion." -- Thomas J. Hopkins, Franklin and Marshall College
Walter O. Kaelber is Professor of Religious Studies at Wagner College.

Rules and Regulations of Brahmanical Asceticism - Yatidharmasamuccaya of Yadava Prakasa
Rules and Regulations of Brahmanical Asceticism
Yatidharmasamuccaya of Yadava Prakasa
Edited and translated by Patrick Olivelle
Sri Satguru Publications (Delhi), ISBN: 81-7030-515-2
Sri Garib Das Oriental Series No. 208
458 pages
Price: Rs.600
Rules and Regulations of Brahmanical Asceticism is the critical edition and translation of a twelfth-century Sanskrit text written by Yadava Prakasa, whose life and activities are of historical interest because, according to tradition, he was the teacher of the great Vaisnava theologian Ramanuja.
This text is the oldest and most comprehensive example of medieval Sanskrit literature devoted to examining the duties of ascetics. Yadava Prakasa is the only one who explicitly examines the thorny question of whether asceticism is a legitimate way of life for Brahmins. His topics include the people qualified to become ascetics; the rite for becoming an ascetic; the clothes and belongings of an ascetic; techniques of meditation; daily routines such as bathing, divine worship, and begging; proper conduct and etiquette; the manner of wandering; residence during the rains; explatory penances; and the funeral.
In his introduction, Patrick Olivelle examines the place of Yadava's text within the literary and institutional history of Brahmanical asceticism. He discusses the origins of asceticism in India; its incorporation into the Brahmanical mainstream; and its variations within Hindu sects, as well as in Buddhist and Jain traditions.
Patrick Olivelle is Professor of Sanskrit and Indian Religion at the University of Texas, Austin.

From Early Vedanta to Kashmir Shaivism
From Early Vedanta to Kashmir Shaivism : Gaudapada, Bhartrhari, and Abhinavagupta/Natalia Isayeva. Reprint. Delhi.Sri Satguru 1997, x, 197 p., Rs.290
Contents: Introduction. I. Gaudapada: The Mind and the Cosmos: Reflection of Prototype: 1. Gaudapada: life and works. 2. Mandukya-Karika: the traditions of consciousness. 3. Mandukya-Karika: the illusory world and the problem of creation. 4. Mandukya-Karika: the shimmering of cosmos. II. Bhartrhari: Speech and the World: Creation or Expression?: 5. Bhartrhari. 6. Vakya-padiya. 7. Manifestations of speech. 8. Language and being. 9. The structure of the universe and the place of man. III. Further Developments: The Interplay of Energies and Artistic Creation: 10. Early Vedanta and Kashmir Saivism. 11. The concept of energies: neoplatonist and hesychast parallels. 12. Abhinavagupta's aesthetics. The name and the voice: some concluding unscientific remarks. Index.
"This book deals with one of the most interesting periods in the development of Indian religious and philosophical traditions. Starting with the teaching of the protovedantist philosopher Gaudapada, and then analyzing the ideas of his famous contemporary, the grammarian Bhartrhari, the author suggests an entirely new approach to the whole history of Vedanta.
"Gaudapada and Bhartrhari are presented as founders of an independent trend with in Indian orthodox philosophy, a trend that culminates lates in the theistic tenets of Kashmir Shaivism. Isayeva shows that, in contrast to Sankara, early Vedantist philosophers regarded the higher Brahman as a kind of continuous reverberation of peculiar phonic energy that was ever producing the same constantly renewable structures and patterns of the universe. This idea found its continuation in the metaphysical and aesthetical concepts of Abhinavagupta, where the ultimate ontological reality is manifested through the rhythmical outbursts of God's creative power.
"The relationship between Gaudapada, Bhartrhari, and Shankara has never been given the in-depth exploration that Isayeva offers. Her analysis demonstrates a major continuity of thought from Gaudapada through Bhartrhari to Abhinavagupta and Kashmir Shaivism, a line hinted at by others but never analyzed in depth.
"Reading this book led tot several 'aha' moments for me, as hunches I have had for many years were given detailed analysis and confirmation. But my eyes were opened as well to a new way of seeing the development of Indian philosophy during the crucial period of 500-1000 A.D. The author's bringing together of Gaudapada and Bhartrhari is a major step forward in scholarship."

In January 1969 an unusual workshop was held at Oberlin College in Ohio•an experimental project in Buddhist meditation. It brought together a Thai Buddhist meditation teacher, the Venerable Chao Khun Sobhana Dhammasudhi, and a Zen priest, the Reverend Eshin Nishimura, to share with Professor Donald K. Swearer in instructing a group of students in the theory and practice of satipatthana and zazen, two forms of Buddhist meditation.
Secrets of the Lotus - prepared by Professor Swearer, the Venerable Dhammasudhi, and the Reverend Nishimura - grew out of this successful venture, and is designed to meet a special need. While recent books dealing with Buddhist meditation have focused on either the Zen or the Theravada tradition, this volume discusses meditation within both traditions, employing classical texts with explanatory commentary and contemporary exposition. The reader also learns exactly what happened at the experimental workshop and how the participants responded.

9. On Being Mindless- Buddhist Meditation and the Mind Bodhy Problem/ Paul J. Griffiths, Rs. 450
ISBN: 81-7030-606-X, Series: Bibliotheca Indo-Buddhica Series No.196
About the Book
Indian Buddhist philosophers say that it is possible to achieve, by specific meditational techniques, a distinctive ‘altered state’ which they call ‘the attainment of cessation’. In this state, the stream of mental events is temporarily brought to a complete halt: the practitioner becomes mindless. The possibility and desirability of such an altered state was extensively discussed by Buddhist thinkers in India. In these discussions, they were compelled to consider the causal connections between the mental and the physical, and thus to clarify their positions on what in the west has usually been called the mind-body problem. On Being Mindless presents these discussions to an English speaking readership for the first time, including analysis and translation of texts not previously available in English and, in some cases, of material not available in any Western language. Opposing fashionably relativistic approaches to non-Western philosophical traditions, Paul Griffiths critically comments upon the analyses of mindlessness given by Buddhist thinkers. He maintains that “the functions, nature, and limits of rationality are conceived similarly in all cultures” and rejects” that humility which, all too often in those Western academic circles where the study of Buddhist thought is carried on, refuses to take its material with philosophical seriousness”. On Being Mindless is a study in cross-cultural philosophy which should do much to increase awareness among Western scholars of the precision and subtlety of India Philosophical thinking. It may also encourage Western philosophers to look beyond the barriers of their own culture and language for serious philosophical analysis.

ISBN: 81-7030-138-6, Series: Sri Garib das Oriental Series No. 63
From the preface:
"Much has been written about Yoga ever since the Theosophists "discovered" spiritual India, and not a little of a very uninformed nature which, in place of elucidating a complex mental science, has either perplexed the student or rendered the whole subject ridiculous. In this book it is my intention to abide by facts and simultaneously introduce sufficient cross references to other mystical systems, such as western magic and the Qabalah, to show that Yoga is one of a series of means of deliverance from worldly illusions. All these systems are closely related; for, in one sense, they and many others, such as Christian mysticism, Quietism, Buddhism, Taoism and Sufism, are spiritual languages the words of which differ in sound but the meanings of which are identical."

Mahayanasutralankara of Asangra. Eng.Trans.
Maanasutralamkara by Asanga.English Trans
ww.srisatgurupublications.blogspot.com
www.indologystudies.blogspot.com
Mahayanasutralaamkara by Asanga. Sanskrit text and translated into English by Surekha Vijay Limaye. Reprint. Delhi, Satguru, 2000, xxiv, 554 p., ISBN 81-7030-346-8. Rs,750
"Asanga is one of the most important philosophical personalities in the history of Buddhism. His contribution to Vijnanavada School of thought is unparalleled. The Vijnanavada school of Asanga is also known as Yogacara. For Asanga and others, the Absolute truth, i.e. pure consciousness (Vijnana( can only be realised by practice of yoga. That indicated the practical side of this school, while the word "Vijnanavada" brings out its speculative features. In its practical application it is described as Yogacara, i.e. following the path of Yoga.
"The Mahayanasutralamkara by Asanga is a landmark in the development of Vijnanavada absolutism. This is a gigantic work on Mahayana Buddhism. The title itself indicates its manifold features of Mahayana. Putting it in Asanga's own words, its an embelishment of Mahayana sutras. There is no Buddhist topic which is not touched by Asanga. Various topics of Buddhism are discussed on the lines of Mahayana in twentyone chapters called Adhikasas with commentary.
"The present book contains English translation of the Sanskrit text and commentary of the Mahayanasutralamkara. The book contains notes and an index of the terms. The book is published under Biblio theca-Indo Buddhica Series

ibc@indianbookscentre.com
"This volume presents, for the first time in English language, the translation, based on devotion to our Lord Shri Krishna (bhakti), bringing out, from the original Sanskrit text, the "Bhavartha" (meaning of the innerspirit and underlying loving sentiments, with which, this treatise has been written), of the monumental commentary Shri Subodhini, on the Maha Bhagavata Purana, by Mahaprabhu Shri Vallabhacharya (c1479 - c 1531).

Shri Vallabhacharyas Sri Subodhini, is available only for the first, second, third and tenth and few chapters of the eleventh canto of Sri Bhagavatam. Sri Subodhini is considered as the most detailed commentary, among all the available commentaries, of Sri Bhagavatam.
In this volume, seven chapters of the tenth canto are dealt with, with the original verse of Sri Bhagavatam, it's English meaning, the text of Sri Subodhini, in Sanskrit and it's English meaning. Wherever necessary, the commentaries / explanations given by Shri Gosainji (Shri Vitthalnatha), Shri Vallabhji, Shri Laloo Bhatji and Shri Purushothamji have been also added.

Dilemmas of Life and Death;Hindu Ethics...
Dilemmas of Life and Death : Hindu Ethics in North American Context/S. Cromwell Crawford. Reprint. 1997, ix, 233 p., Delhi. Sri Satguru Rs.345
Contents: Introduction. 1. The ethics of abortion. 2. The ethics of suicide. 3. The ethics of euthanasia. 4. The ethics of the environment. Notes. Glossary. Bibliography. Index.
"This is a breakthrough work expanding the debate of the dilemmas of life and death in contemporary American society by carrying it beyond the insights of western religious and philosophic thought to include ethical perspectives of the Hindu tradition.
"The topics covered are the timely ethical issues that concern both Americans and all people of the world--abortion, suicide, euthanasia and the environment. A lively east-west dialogue probes the roots of each issue in its native setting, and the fruit of this historical approach is a clear-cut analysis of up-to-date cases, giving their current status in terms of ethics, religion, philosophy, medicine and law. Unlike traditional textbooks that concentrate on a theoretical analysis to the exclusion of practical issues, this book does justice to both theoretical and practical ethics.
"In the modern western world, heavily influenced by the achievements of science and technology, questions regarding the value of life and the individual's freedom to end it have come to occupy the center stage in recent years. Cromwell Crawford, a theologian by training and an Indian philosopher by choice, especially on Indian ethics, has devoted this volume to an examination of these issues as they appear in the American context from the standpoint of traditional Indian ethical theory. Such an approach to modern problems in ethics has not been attempted so far. The book is a valuable contribution to the ongoing east-west dialogue. It is a carefully thought out work and written in a clear and lucid style

It deals with such topics as dharma, karma and rebirth, the role of man in the universe, the motivation and justification of human actions, the relationship between ritual norms and universal ethics, and reflections on the goals and sources of human knowledge.
Halbfass presents previously unknown materials concerning the history of sectarian movements, including the notorious "Thags" (thaka), and relations between Indian and Iranian thought. The approach is partly philosophical and partly historical and philological; to a certain extent, it is also comparative.
The author explores indigenous Indian reflections on the sources, the structure and the meaning of the Hindu tradition, and traditional philosophical responses to social and historical realities. He does not deal with social and historical realities per se; rather, basing his work on the premise that to understand these realities the reflections and constructions of traditional Indian theorists are no less significant than the observations and paradigms of modern western historians and social scientists, he explores the self-understanding of such leading thinkers as Sankara, Kumarila, Bhartrhari and Udayana.

The Central Conception of Buddhism
The Central Conception of Buddhism (Bibliotheca Indo Buddhica Series No. 91)
By Th. Stcherbatsky
Sri Satguru Publications (Delhi), ISBN: 81-7030-280-3
Price: Rs.70
About the Book
The Book explains in detail the principle of Radical Pluralism which asserts that the elements alone are realities while every combination of them is a mere name covering a plurality of separate elements. The conception of a dharma is the central point of the Buddhist doctrine. In the light of this conception Buddhism discloses itself as a metaphysical theory developed out of one fundamental principle, viz. the idea that existence is an interplay of a plurality of subtle, ultimate, not further analysable elements of Matter, Mind, and Forces. These elements are technically called dharmas, a meaning which this word has in this system alone. Buddhism, accordingly, can be characterized as a system of Radical Pluralism.
The book is divided into sixteen sections dealing with the Skandhas, Ayatanas, Dhatus, Elements of matter, Elements of mind, Forces, Anatma, Pratityasamutpada, Karma, Impermanence of the Elements, Impermanence in Sankhya-Yoga, Unrest of the Elements, Theory of Cognition, Pre-Buddhaic Buddhism etc.
It has two appendices dealing with the views of Vasubandhu on the fundamental principles of Sarvastivada and classification of all elements of existence according to the Sarvastivadins. The two indices record proper names and Sanskrit terms occuring in the work.
Contents:
: Preface. 1. Preliminary. 2. Skandhas. 3. Ayatanas. 4. Dhatus. 5. Elements of matter. 6. Elements of mind. 7. Forces. 8. Non-substantiality of elements. 9. Pratitya Samutpada (Causality). 10. Karma. 11. Impermanence of the elements. 12. Impermanence in Sankhya Yoga. 13. Unrest of the elements. 14. Theory of cognition. 15. Pre-Buddhaic Buddhism. 16. Summary
Appendix: 1. Vasubandhu on the fundamental principle of the Sarvastivada School
Appendix: 2. Tables of the elements according to the Sarvastivadins.

Shaiva Devotional Songs of Kashmir..... Kashmir Shaivism
Shaiva Devotional Songs of Kashmir : A Translation and Study of Utpaladeva’s Shivastotravali/Constantina Rhodes Bailly. Reprint. Delhi, Sri Satguru, 1990, x,196 p., ISBN 81-7030-242-0. Rs.200
Contents: Introduction. 1. The first song: the pleasure of devotion. 2. The Second Song: contemplation of the All-Soul. 3. The third song: the gift of affection. 4. The fourth song: Potent Nectar. 5. The fifth song: the command of powers. 6. The sixth song: tremblings along the journey.7. The seventh Song: victory over separation. 8. The eighth song: unearthly strength. 9. The ninth song: The triumph of freedom. 10. The tenth song: breaking the continuity. 11. The eleventh song: bound to the world by desire. 12. The twelfth song: particulars of the arcane lore. 13. The thirteenth song: in summary…. 14. The fourteenth song: song of glorification. 15. The fifteenth song: about devotion. 16. The sixteenth song: breaking out of the fetters. 17. The seventeenth song: a high regard for divine amusements. 18. The eighteenth song: becoming clear. 19. The nineteenth song: the meaning revealed. 20. The twentieth song: the meaning savored. Appendices. Notes. Bibliography. Index.
"Utpaladeva was considered a siddha, a "perfected being, "one of the masters of the tantric tradition in Kashmir, and he is best known for his philosophical treatises. The Shivastotravali reflects Utpaladeva’s philosophy, known as the Pratyabhijna school. And yet it is unique among the author’s work in its not being a straightforward philosophical treatise but instead, as Dr. Bailly points out in her introduction, more of a spiritual diary of one who is actually treading the path of Shiva. The path that Utpaladeva has chosen does not require leaving one’s home and heading for mountain cave; instead it calls for changing one’s view of the world, for leading a life of divine recognition while carrying on with ordinary life.
"In clearly written, lucid prose, Dr. Bailly illuminates the many faces of Utpaladeva’s quest. At the core of his spiritual journey is the enigmatic relationship between devotion and grace: how much does spiritual attainment depend upon the individual’s efforts, and how much is a divine gift? And how are these to be realized while living in the midst of society, maintaining worldly obligations and lifestyle?
"For over a thousand years the Shaiva community of Kashmir has used in its worship the hymns of Utpaladeva’s Shivastotravali. Here for the first time these hymns are presented in translation as English verse along with the Sanskrit, a clear and lively introduction, two appendices on special aspects of Kashmir Shaivism, and additional notes

Ethics of Tibet/ Alex Wayman
Ethics of Tibet
Bodhisattva Section of Tsong-Kha-Pa’s Lam Rim Chen Mo
Translated from the Tibetan original by Alex Wayman
Sri Satguru Publications (Delhi), ISBN 81-7030-324-9
279 pages
Price: Rs.400
Contents:
Foreword/ Dalai Lama.
Introduction. I. Precepts for the great person: 1. Teaching that only the generation of the thought is the door of entrance. 2. The method of generating that thought. 3. The stages of exercising the thought of enlightenment, Part I. 4. The stages of exercising the thought of enlightenment, Part II. 5. Taking it ritually. 6. The method of practicing the career after having generated the thought. 7. Exposition of the steps of practicing the instruction. 8. Perfection of giving. 9. Perfection of morality. 10. Perfection of forbearance.
"One of the great contributions of Tibetan Buddhism to the Buddhist tradition as a whole, and one of the things that distinguishes it from the Mahayana traditions that developed via China, has been the clear and systematic articulation of a doctrine of compassion. This text is perhaps the paradigmatic expression of that and as such is vitally important. It will advance Western access to and understanding of Tibetan Buddhism considerably.
"One of the leading Tibetan scholars in the world has translated this work by the great Tsong-kha-pa, the titular head of the Ge-lug-pa sect and perhaps the Tibetan equivalent of the great Nagarjuna. This first complete English translator also reveals the encyclopeadic mind of Tsong-kha-pa, whose copious references to the sutras are a gold mine. He, more than anyone else, shaped the development of Tibetan Buddhism as we know it today.
"This book is very interesting and easy to read, because it is a systematic, step-by-step analysis of the conditions necessary for the progress in spiritual attainment, from the awakening of the mind of enlightenment (Bodhicitta) to the final insight (Prajna). It is definitely a useful text for understanding Tibetan Buddhism at the core and for comparative studies involving other systems of thought within Buddhism.

Buddhism in North India and Pakistan/D.C. Ahir
Buddhism in North India and Pakistan/D.C. Ahir. 1998, Delhi. Sri Satgurtu. Rs.300.137 p., $18.
Contents: Preface. 1. Buddha's visit to Punjab. 2. Asoka the Great. 3. Milinda and Nagasena. 4. Kanishka, a Kushana King. 5. Asanga and Vasubandhu. 6. Harsha, the last Buddhist Emperor. 7. Forgotton creed. 8. Some archaeological remains. 9. Revival and survival. 10. The influence of Buddhism on Sikhism. Appendix: 1. Chronology of Buddhism in the Punjab. 2. Buddhism survives in Pakistan. Bibliography. Index.
"This book presents a historical survey of Buddhism through the ages in the modern states of Punjab, Haryana, Delhi and Himachal Pradesh in India, and West Punjab, Sind and North West Frontier Provinces in Pakistan. In other words, it covers the area from Delhi to Peshawar. Buddhism came to the ancient Punjab - Gandhara region through the Buddha himself, and gained a good hold within 300 years of the Mahaparinirvana of the Buddha. Thereafter, for more than 1000 years, Buddhism was the predominant religion of the people. A galaxy of Buddhist saints, scholars, poets and philosophers not only enriched the culture of the Punjab - Gandhara region but also influenced and moulded the destiny of Buddhism as a whole. Three of the illustrious Buddhist kings of India : Milinda, Kanishka and Harsha flourished in this region, while a fourth, the first Buddhist Emperor of India, Asoka the Great also started his career in the Punjab. Though Buddhism later disappeared from the plains but it managed to survive in the hilly regions, and even today is a living faith in the valleys of Lahul, Spiti and Kinnaur in Himachal Pradesh."

1. Dattatreya’s Song of the Avadhut
: An English Translation of the Avadhut Gita (With Sanskrit Transliteration) A Classics of Mystical Literature Book/ S. Abhayananda. Delhi, Satguru, 2000, 170 p.,
ISBN 81-7030-675-2.
Price: Rs. 200
"Of all the mystical treatises of ancient Indian literature, The Avadhut Gita, or "Song of the Avadhut", is one of the most eloquent and compelling. Its theme is the unitive knowledge obtained through mystical vision, the knowledge of the eternal self. This knowledge is not limited to the mystics of any one cultural tradition, but is universal among all those who have attained to mystical vision.
"The author is The Avadhut Gita was enlightened by the same direct revelation which inspired the Upanishads, the Bhagavad Gita, and other such works. It must be read, therefore, not as the reiteration of a conceptual position, or as an argument for the Vedantic viewpoint, but as the sharing by an illumined sage of directly revealed truth. His aim in this sharing is not to convince us, but to awaken us to the truth, and liberate us from error.
"The Avadhut Gita is a call to knowledge, the supreme knowledge of ultimate truth. The Avadhut holds out no compromise with illusion, he offers no foothold on separation, he allows no semblance of duality at all to creep into our perception of reality. Perhaps has knowledge is, for mere men, too sublime, too austere, too simplistic; but it is the knowledge of the ultimate indisputable truth of existence; and it is this very truth which has the power to make us free."

2. Dattatreya : The Immortal Guru, Yogin, and Avatara :
A Study of the Transformative and Inclusive Character of a Multi-Faceted Hindu Deity/Antonio Rigopoulos. Reprint. First published in 1998. Delhi, Satguru, 2000, 342 p., pic., ISBN 81-7030-673-6.
Price: Rs. 300
Contents: Preface. 1. The genealogy of Dattatreya. 2. Puranic mythology of Dattatreya. 3. Dattatreya in minor Upanisads. 4. Dattatreya in the literature of the Mahanubhavas. 5. The Guru-caritra and the rise of the Dattatreya cult. 6. Eknath, Dasopant, and the unfolding of the Dattatreya movement. 7. The Tripura-rahasya. 8. The Avadhuta-gita. 9. The development of Dattatreya’s iconography. Conclusion. General bibliography. Selected bibliography on Dattatreya and his movement. Index.
From the preface: “This study presents the main phases in the making of the Hindu deity Dattatreya, from its Puranic emergence as an immortal Guru, Yogin, and Avatara, up to its celebration as the trimurti of Brahma, Visnu, and Siva. Focusing on the origin and development of this particular deity, one is brought into touch with virtually all major religious strands of that complex network of religions called Hinduism. Its assimilative force is witnessed by the variety of communities which appropriated Dattatreya from within an overall nondual philosophical framework: from the world of antinomian Tantrism to the world of Brahminical ritual orthodoxy, passing through the renunciatory milieux of Yoga, the Mahanubhava sect, Vaisnava devotionalism, Saiva asceticism, Saktism and Devi worship. Although one might envision the presence of plural Dattatreyas, construed in different ways within each given community, I would rather opt for the existence of a single multifaceted deity, constantly absorbing new traits in an ongoing process of cross-fertilization. Significantly, Dattatreya’s catalyzing force extends beyond the boundaries of Hinduism, also being linked to popular Sufism and Jainism.”

About the Book
"The author's primary insight is of extreme meaningfulness: every culture must confront the deterioration and death accompanying aging. How this confrontation has occurred in Indian culture has significance for understanding all cultures including contemporary advanced industrial cultures." -- Sheldon S. Tobin
The manner of aging is a cultural construct and there is a specifically Indian way of aging. That way is shown in this book through the anlyses of key concepts--aging (jara), stages of life (asarama), time (kala), determinate deeds (karma), desire (kama), change (parinama), and rejuvenative force (vaja).
The author offers important transcultural insights into the realities of aging, disease, and inevitable death faced by all. The composite Inidan religious tradition provides patterns for shaping the aging experience into a meaningful system of vital social values, ethical principles, and life goals, This analysis of the Indian approach provides significant clues for understanding aging in other cultures.
"The topic of aging in the Indian traditional has not before been given a systematic scholarly examination. India has important wisdom to offer, and this book sets that wisdom forth in a way that makes its history and content clearly available to modern scholars. Tilak does this in a thoroughly competent way using primary source documents in a careful and comprehensive way. He does not shy away from taking all aspects of aging into consideration: physical, social, cultural, spiritual." -- Harold Coward
"Outstanding and fascinating." -- Edmund Sherman

The Buddha and the Christ : Explorations in Buddhist and Christian Dialogue/Leo D. Lefebure. Reprint. Delhi, Sri Satguru, 1996, xxiii, 239 p., ISBN 81-7030-489-X.
Contents: Note on Orthography. Prologue: invitation to a journey : the prospects of Buddhist-Christian dialogue. I. The Buddha and the Christ : Introduction. 1. The life and teaching of Shakyamuni Buddha. 2. Jesus the Christ and Shakyamuni Buddha. II. Classical paths of transformation : Introduction. 3.

Gustavo Gutierrez and Thich Nhat Hanh : The theology of liberation in relation to engaged Buddhism. Epilogue. Notes. Select bibliography. Index.
"The similarities and differences between the traditions founded by Shakyamuni, called the Buddha, and Jesus, called the Christ, fascinate both scholars and students of religion. Interest burgeons as encounters between Christians and Buddhists increase, and as the world becomes smaller through technology and travel. By exploring the two religious founders through the lives and views of their followers The Buddha and the Christ introduces readers to major Mahayana Buddhist perspectives and explores the dynamics of discipleship•past and present•of both Christian and Buddhist traditions.
"The Buddha and the Christ begins with the lives and teachings of both Shakyamuni and Jesus. Lefebure then examines the classical paths of transformation they inspired: the Zen and Pure Land traditions of Mahayana Buddhism and the perspectives of the early Christians Dionysius the Areopagite and St. Augustine. Finally, he turns to the examples of two contemporary figures: the Vietnamese monk Thich Nhat Hanh and the Peruvian priest Gustavo Gutierrez.
"Nowhere are the convergences and confluences of these two religious traditions as refreshingly illuminated and clarified as they are here. The Buddha and the Christ offers readers a vital and accessible view of the Buddha and the Christ that wonderfully captures the fruits of recent scholarship.

Buddhahood Embodied;Sources of Controversey in India and Tibet
Buddhahood Embodied;Sources of Controvesey in India and Tibet
www.srisatgurupublications.blogspot.com
www.indologystudies.blogspot.com
Buddhahood Embodied : Sources of Controversy in India and Tibet/John J. Makransky. 1998, Delhi .Sri Satguru xix, 494 p., Rs.750
Contents: Preface. 1. Introduction. 2. The Buddha's body of Dharmas (Dharmakaya) in Sarvastivada Abhidharma. 3. The Buddha's embodiment of Dharma (ta) (Dharmakaya) in Prajnaparamita Sutras. 4. Embodiment of Buddhahood in its own realization: Yogacara Svabhavikakaya as projection of praxis and gnoseology. 5. Enlightenment's paradox: nondual awareness of the unconditioned (Svabhavikakaya) embodied in conditioned activity for beings (Sambhogikakaya, Nairmanikakaya). 6. The Abhisamayalamkara and its eighth chapter on Buddhahood. 7. Literary-critical analysis of Abhisamayalamkara, chapter 8: A map that project the three Kayas of Yogacara onto the Large Prajnaparamita Sutra. 8. Internal evidence that Abhisamayalamkara chapter 8: Teaches the three Yogacara Kayas. 9. Arya Vimuktisena on gnoseology and Buddhology in the Abhisamayalamkara. 10. Haribhadra's analytic-inferential perspective on Buddhahood: Buddha Dharmas as fourth "Body". 11. Responses by Indian scholars to Haribhadra's four Buddha bodies. 12. The controversy continues in tibet: Tsong Kha pa and Go ram pa. 13. Sources of controversy--nonabiding Nirvana and the Mahayana quest for authentic reinterpretation of the four noble truths. Notes. Selected bibliography. Index.
"To enter the Mahayana Buddhist path to enlightenment is to seek both to become free from our dualistic, deluded world and to remain actively engaged in that world until all others are free. How are these two apparently contradictory qualities to be embodied in the attainment of Buddhahood (Dharmakaya)? How can one's present practice accomplish that? These questions underlie a millennium old controversy over Buddhahood in India and Tibet that centers around a cherished text, the Abhisamayalamkara. Makransky shows how the Abhisamayalamkara's composite redaction, from Abhidharma, Prajnaparamita, and Yogacara traditions, permitted its interpreters to perceive different aspects of those traditions as central in its teaching of Buddhahood. This enabled Indians and Tibetans to read very different perspectives on enlightenment into the Abhisamayalamkara, through which they responded to the questions in startlingly different ways.
"The author shows how these perspectives provide alternative ways to resolve a logical tension at the heart of Mahayana thought, inscribed in the doctrine that Buddhahood paradoxically transcends and engages our world simultaneously. Revealing this tension as the basis of the Abhisamayalamkara controversy, Makransky shows its connection to many other Indo-Tibetan controversies revolving around the same tension: disagreements over Buddhahood's knowledge, embodiment, and accessibility to beings (in Buddha nature and through the path). Tracing the source of tension to early Mahayana practice intuitions about enlightenment, the author argues that different perspectives in these controversies express different ways of prioritizing those practice intuitions."

"Since us appearance in China in the third century, The Lotus Sutra has been regarded as one of the most illustrious scriptures in the Mahayana Buddhist canon. The object of intense veneration among generations of Buddhists in China, Korea, Japan and other parts of the world, it has had a profound impact on the great works of Japanese and Chinese literature, attracting more commentary than any other Buddhist scripture.
"As Watson notes in the introduction to his remarkable translation, The Lotus Sutra is not so much an integral work as a collection of religious texts, an anthology of sermons, stories, and devotional manuals, some speaking with particular force to persons of one type or in one set of circumstances, some to those of another type or in other circumstances. This is no doubt one reason why it has had such broad and lasting appeal over the ages and has permeated so deeply into the cultures that have been exposed to it.

Quotations from Buddhist Literature for Each Day in the Year
The Imitation of Buddha
Quotations from Buddhist Literature for Each Day in the Year
Ernest M. Bowden
Bibliotheca Indo Buddhica Series No.61
146 pages
Sri Satguru Publications (Delhi),ISBN: 81-7030-185-8
Price Rs. 200
About the Book
In this compilation no attempt has been made to present a general view of Buddhism as a religious or philosophical system. The aim has rather to turn Buddhism to account as a moral force by bringing together a selection of its beautiful sentiments and lofty maxims, and particularly by including some of those which inculcate mercy to lower animals. In the average Buddhist treatise , with its earnest exhortations, recurring as a matter of course , to show mercy on every living thing; and this difference along is an adequate reason for compiling a Buddhist anthology. The author has here supplied those who buy and use the book with rubies and sapphires and emeralds of wisdom, compassion and human brotherhood, any one of which, worn on the heart, would be sufficient to make the wearer rich beyond estimation for a day.

About the Book
A pioneer work in comparative philosophy. This book approaches the question of being through a range of traditions : the Greek, the Christian, the post-Nietzschean European, the Hindu, and the Buddhist. The question of being therefore is both a fresh, cross-cultural approach to a vital issue and also an example of comparative philosophy in action.
The editor’s introduction clarifies historically the concept of comparative philosophy from A.du Perron’s journey to Persia in the late 18 century to the work of such modern thinkers as Deussen, Jung and Aurbindo. Chapters by Owens and Kahn are concerned with the question of being in Greek philosophy; Gadamer, Adamczewski, and Scharff relate Heidegger’s thought variously to Plato and the Greeks, the Upanisads, and the question of being. From the eastern perspective : Halbfass examines the Indian realist school of Vaisesika with reference to Aristotle; Arapura writes of Advaita Vedanta thought of sat and brahman; Sprung discusses the importance of the Buddhist middle way in relation to the question of being ; and Mohanty contrast Vedanta, Nyaya, and Buddhist theories about being.

From the introduction: "The available information concerning drugs and medicinal plants in Europe and India are scattered through a large number of books and periodicals in various languages as well as official documents, which have only a very limited circulation.
"The author now presented to the public, have endeavoured to collect and verify this information. British flora and Indian floras have been scrutinised and common plants in usage in Ayurvedic Medicine is recorded. Plant species had been confirmed from local herbia and Kew gardens phytochemical investigations are been carried over a decade by the author. Clinical and toxicity studies has been done. The entire herbal investigations are the outcome of the study of three major disciplines: phytochemical, botanical and clinical investigations and summarized into pharmacopoel standards after comparisation with European and Indian pharmacopoeia.
"European herbal flora represents temperate vegetation, while Indian herbal flora of tropical plants. Some plants are common in Europe and India.
"India is a sub-continent with varied flora both temperate and tropical species. Ayurvedic herbal medicine encompass both the regions and only those species are recorded which could be useful to physicians interested in herbal therapies

Nyayamanjari of Jayantabhatta
Nyayamanjari of Jayantabhatta (Ahnika-I)/English translation by V.N. Jha. 1995, Delhi. Sri Satguru.152 p.,
copies from.ibc@indianbookscentre.com. www.indianbookscentre.com
From the preface: "I have great pleasure in presenting the English translation of the first Ahnika of Nyayamanjari of Jayanta Bhatta. Jayanta Bhatta occupies a unique position in the history and development of Indian philosophy in general and Pracina Nyaya in particular. The author himself informs that the text was written in a cave where he was put by the king of that time. Nyayamanjari is an encyclopaedic exposition of the Pracina Nyaya. While writing this, Jayanta has taken into account all the relevant views of almost all the systems of Indian philosophy prevalent at his time. He has presented views of his opponent so elaborately and clearly that some times it is easier to understand the opponents from Jayanta's Nyayamanjari than from the original texts of the opponents. Jayanta, the poet-logician, has unique capacity of presenting clearly the issues in a very beautiful Sanskrit."

Life in Delhi
As a child during my days in the year 1958;i still remember the daily life of peoples in the Model Basti.a colony in North Delhilnear Filmistan.
Model Basti was the Ist planned colony in Old Delhi.I used to walk very easily on the main road;because there were very very few cars and other MODERN fast moving vehicles.After Modelbasti;we moved to Shakti Nagar.
Since 1962.we are in Shakti Nagar.We all the friends has taken a keen intrest in the developments of Shakti Nagar.
But sorry;now new peoples from different walk of life has arrived;and their philosophy is "Chalta Hey"
There is no care of Roshanara Bagh.Nangia Park, and a nos.of Parks in Shakti Nagar.

"Western philosophy has long regarded Indian philosophy as its other. Philosophy of religion, as we know it today, emerged in the west and has been shaped by western philosophical and theological trends, while the philosophical tradition of India flowed along its own course until the late nineteenth century, when active, if tentative, contact was established between the west and the east. This book provides a definite focus to this interaction by investigating issues raised in western philosophy of religion from the perspective of Advaita Vedanta, the influential school of Indian thought. In promoting the emergence of a cross-cultural philosophy of religion, Arvind Sharma focuses on John H. Hick and his well-known work The Philosophy of Religion as representative of modern western philosophy of religion and on Sankara, along with his modern successors such as M. Hiriyanna and S. Radhakrishnan, as representative of Advaita Vedanta. His argument is developed in a series of chapters devoted to central issues in the philosophy of religion (God, belief, evil, revelation, faith, religious language, verification, existence, reality, human destiny) and concludes with a study of conflicting truth claims of different religions."

This book provides a definite focus to this interaction by investigating issues raised in western philosophy of religion from the perspective of Advaita Vedanta, the influential school of Indian thought. In promoting the emergence of a cross-cultural philosophy of religion, Arvind Sharma focuses on John H. Hick and his well-known work The Philosophy of Religion as representative of modern western philosophy of religion and on Sankara, along with his modern successors such as M. Hiriyanna and S. Radhakrishnan, as representative of Advaita Vedanta. His argument is developed in a series of chapters devoted to central issues in the philosophy of religion (God, belief, evil, revelation, faith, religious language, verification, existence, reality, human destiny) and concludes with a study of conflicting truth claims of different religions."

Kabir Legends and Ananta-Das’s Kabir Parachai : With a Translation of the Kabir Parachai Prepared in
Kabir Legends and Ananta-Das’s Kabir Parachai : With a Translation of the Kabir Parachai Prepared in Collaboration with Jagdish Kumar and Uma Thukral and with an Edition of the Niranjani Panthi Recension of this Work/David N. Lorenzen. Reprint. Delhi, Satguru, xiv, 268 p., ISBN 81-7030-316-8.
Contents: Preface. I. The legends : 1. Legends and history. 2. The Kabir Parachai cycle. 3. Other legends. II. Ananta-Das’s Kabir Parachai : 4. The text of the Kabir Parachai. 5. A translation of the Kabir Parachai by Jagdish Kumar, David N. Lorenzen, and Uma Thukral. 6. An edition of the Kabir Parachai (Niranjani Panthi recension). Appendix A : the 1693 V. S. manuscript (RPP 11583) of Ananta-das’s Kabir Parachai. Bibliography. Index.
"This book represents the first systematic collection and analysis of the principal legends about Kabir Das, a fifteenth-century poet-saint. It focuses on the ways in which the legends embody and reflect the often changing social and religious needs of those who created and listened to them. Particular attention is paid to the earliest known collection of legends, Ananta-das’s Kabir Parachai. This book makes available for the first time an English translation of this text, with detailed notes on its variant readings, as well as a corrected Hindi edition based on a comparison of over a dozen manuscripts. The various historical synchronism between Kabir and his leading contemporaries, including Ramananda and King Virasimhadev Baghel, are reevaluated, and a solution is proposed to the longstanding debate about Kabir’s dates."

"The 1980s witnessed the introduction of Asia into the required general curriculum at undergraduate institutions throughout the United States, and Asian materials are now at the threshold of general knowledge in literature, history, and the social sciences. THE PROJECT ON ASIA IN THE CORE CURRICULUM was inaugurated in 1985 under the sponsorship of Columbia University to accelerate this "mainstreaming" of Asian materials into the general curriculum. The project has received ongoing support from the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Luce Foundation, the Matsushita Foundation, and the U.S. Department of Education."

Excavations in Swat and Explorations in the Oxus Territories of Afghanistan : A detailed report
Excavations in Swat and Explorations in the Oxus Territories of Afghanistan : A detailed report of the 1938 expedition/Evert Barger and Philip Wright. Reprint. Delhi, Sri Satguru Publications, vi, 67 p., plates, map, Rs.350
Contents : Foreword. Preface. 1. The objects of the expedition. 2. The plan of campaign. 3. Excavation of sites in the Barikot district. 4. Excavations at Charbagh in upper Swat. 5. General conclusions on the work in Swat. 6. Explorations in Afghanistan. List of objects found in Swat. Index.
From the preface: “This memoir is an account of the work of a British expedition which spent the Summer of 1938 in excavating a number of sites in the Swat Valley and in making an archaeological reconnaissance in the Oxus territories of Afghanistan. The expedition, a party of four, was supported by a number of learned societies in England, and the publication of this volume by the Government of India as one of this series is due to the kindness of the Director-General of the Archaeological Survey, Rao Bahadur K.N. Dikshit, who must not, however, be held responsible for the views expressed or conclusions reached.
“The main object of this short expedition was to pave the way for further British work on the Indian Frontier and beyond. Whatever the value of the material brought back on this occasion, it is satisfactory to record that it has contributed, in some measure, to a revival of interest in Indian and Central Asian studies in England, and that there is some prospect of this being the first of a series of campaigns, for which a representative committee is now being formed and is shortly to become responsible.

Iconographic Dictionary of the Indian Religions : Hinduism Buddhism Jainism/Gosta Liebert
Iconographic Dictionary of the Indian Religions : Hinduism Buddhism Jainism/Gosta Liebert. Reprint. Delhi, Satguru, 1986, xviii, 377 p., .ISBN 81-7030-098-3. Rs.750
Contents: 1. Iconographic dictionary of the Indian religions. 2. Indices: i. Vahanas. ii. Attitudes. iii. Mudras. iv. Attributes. v. Other terms. Supplement.
From the preface: "Ever since the publication of the first edition of Edward Moor’s "The Hindu Pantheon" in 1810 iconography and mythology have been important branches of Indology. In numerous books and articles both received considerable attention in the past. In the course of time several works appeared in which the published material dealing with mythology was summarized in the form of dictionaries. So far, a similar manual for iconography was, however, not yet available. Professor Liebert’s "Iconographic Dictionary of the Indian Religions", which brings together an enormous amount of material hidden away in countless books and articles, will therefore be welcomed warmly by many scholars working in this branch of Indology, for it fills a long-felt gap in the existing literature dealing with Indian iconography. In addition we owe the author a debt of gratitude for the numerous useful references to existing publications on specific subjects. The vastness of the area in which the influence of Indian religions was felt in Asia, as well as the nature of the subject, posed a number of technical problems and limitations which the author has tried to solve as efficiently as possible. Those intending to use this manual would therefore be well advised to read his introduction carefully.copies from

Songs of Kabir from the Adi Granth
Songs of Kabir from the Adi Granth/Nirmal Dass. 1992, ix, 359 p., ISBN 81-7030-315-X. Rs.220
Contents: Preface. Introduction. Bibliography. I. The songs of Kabir from the Adi Granth: 1. From Shri Raga. 2. From raga Gauri: i. The acrostic of Kabir. ii. Kabir's Lunar days. iii. Kabir's days of the week. 3. From raga Asa. 4. From raga Gujari. 5. From raga Sorath. 6. From raga Dhanashri. 7. From raga Tilang. 8. From raga Suhi. 9. From raga Bilawal. 10. From raga Gaund. 11. From raga Ramkali. 12. From raga Maru: Slokas from raga Maru. 13. From raga Kedara. 14. From raga Bhairo. 15. From raga Basant. 16. From raga Sarang. 17. From raga Parbhati. II. The slokas of Kabir. Notes. Glossary. Index.
"This book makes available for the first time a complete English translation of the entire corpus of the great poet - saint Kabir as contained in the Adi Granth of the Sikhs. For students of Indian religion, especially of the devotional bhakti movement, the medieval sants, and the roots of Sikh religion, the absence of such a work has been keenly felt. For those interested in Kabir, it provides for the as yet little studied third recension of the poet's work the kind of basic text in translation available for the first, the Bijak, and the second, the Granthavali.
"This is an extremely important topic in the field of Indian religion. The role of the medieval sants in the devotional reformation of Hinduism, the influence of Kabir as the greatest sant figure, and the emergence of Sikhism out of the matrix of sant devotionalism are all important questions which this work of translation will aid in examining

About the Book
"The author's primary insight is of extreme meaningfulness: every culture must confront the deterioration and death accompanying aging. How this confrontation has occurred in Indian culture has significance for understanding all cultures including contemporary advanced industrial cultures." -- Sheldon S. Tobin
The manner of aging is a cultural construct and there is a specifically Indian way of aging. That way is shown in this book through the anlyses of key concepts--aging (jara), stages of life (asarama), time (kala), determinate deeds (karma), desire (kama), change (parinama), and rejuvenative force (vaja).
The author offers important transcultural insights into the realities of aging, disease, and inevitable death faced by all. The composite Inidan religious tradition provides patterns for shaping the aging experience into a meaningful system of vital social values, ethical principles, and life goals, This analysis of the Indian approach provides significant clues for understanding aging in other cultures.
"The topic of aging in the Indian traditional has not before been given a systematic scholarly examination. India has important wisdom to offer, and this book sets that wisdom forth in a way that makes its history and content clearly available to modern scholars. Tilak does this in a thoroughly competent way using primary source documents in a careful and comprehensive way. He does not shy away from taking all aspects of aging into consideration: physical, social, cultural, spiritual." -- Harold Coward
"Outstanding and fascinating." -- Edmund Sherman
Shrinivas Tilak is Professor of Religious Studies at the University of British Columbia.

ISBN: 81-7030-007-X, Series: Raga-Nrtya Series No. 3
About the Book
Indian music, perhaps world’s oldest, is full of beauties and mysteries. Unlike Western Music, Indian music is not written down. It is handed down orally from the teacher to his student, from the Guru to his Shishya. To the uninitated terms such as the raga, tala, laya, alap, are exotic Jargaon, Thumri or Bhajan or ghazal equally mysteries. So is the whole range of persuasion and striuged instruments. The three volume work on the theory of Indian Music seeks to unravel the mystery of the unique performing art. It initiates a method of discovery which the reader experiences almost unconsciously as he reads on. Precise notations of important ragas on the pattern of western written music have made musical exercise easy, clear and methodical. Debates and controversies which are essential for the development and flowering of fresh knowledge have been included. Bhatkhande’s famous polemics over the interpretation of Ratnakara with Philharmonic Society is a part of the book. Also the suitability of Harmonium as an instrument of classical music is discussed. The concluding volume takes into account the universal notation and tuning for Kheyal instruments adopted by the Philharmonic Society. For anybody interested in performing listening and appreciating Indian Music, the volumes are indispensable source-books. The Wealth of information with practical lessons would delight any lover of music anywhere.

ISBN: 81-7030-007-X, Series: Raga-Nrtya Series No. 3
About the Book
Indian music, perhaps world’s oldest, is full of beauties and mysteries. Unlike Western Music, Indian music is not written down. It is handed down orally from the teacher to his student, from the Guru to his Shishya. To the uninitated terms such as the raga, tala, laya, alap, are exotic Jargaon, Thumri or Bhajan or ghazal equally mysteries. So is the whole range of persuasion and striuged instruments. The three volume work on the theory of Indian Music seeks to unravel the mystery of the unique performing art. It initiates a method of discovery which the reader experiences almost unconsciously as he reads on. Precise notations of important ragas on the pattern of western written music have made musical exercise easy, clear and methodical. Debates and controversies which are essential for the development and flowering of fresh knowledge have been included. Bhatkhande’s famous polemics over the interpretation of Ratnakara with Philharmonic Society is a part of the book. Also the suitability of Harmonium as an instrument of classical music is discussed. The concluding volume takes into account the universal notation and tuning for Kheyal instruments adopted by the Philharmonic Society. For anybody interested in performing listening and appreciating Indian Music, the volumes are indispensable source-books. The Wealth of information with practical lessons would delight any lover of music anywhere.

Explorations in Indian Thought Tradition and Reflection
Tradition and Reflection
Explorations in Indian Thought
By Wilhelm Halbfass
Sri Satguru Publications (Delhi), ISBN 81-7030-300-1
Price: Rs. 400
Contents:
Preface. 1. The idea of the Veda and the identity of Hinduism. 2. The presence of the Veda in Indian philosophical reflection. 3.Vedic orthodoxy and the plurality of religious traditions. 4. Vedic apologetics, ritual killing, and the foundations of ethics. 5. Human reason and Vedic revelation in Advaita Vedanta. 6. Sankara, the Yoga of Patanjali, and the so-called Yogasutrabhasyavivarana. 7. The therapeutic paradigm and the search for identity in Indian philosophy. 8. Man and Self in traditional Indian thought. 9. Competing causalities: Karma, Vedic rituals, and the natural world. 10. Homo hierarchicus: the conceptualization of the Varna system in Indian thought. Index.
About the Book
This book examines, above all, the relationship between reason and Vedic revelation, and the philosophical responses to the idea of the Veda. It deals with such topics as dharma, karma and rebirth, the role of man in the universe, the motivation and justification of human actions, the relationship between ritual norms and universal ethics, and reflections on the goals and sources of human knowledge.
Halbfass presents previously unknown materials concerning the history of sectarian movements, including the notorious "Thags" (thaka), and relations between Indian and Iranian thought. The approach is partly philosophical and partly historical and philological; to a certain extent, it is also comparative.
The author explores indigenous Indian reflections on the sources, the structure and the meaning of the Hindu tradition, and traditional philosophical responses to social and historical realities. He does not deal with social and historical realities per se; rather, basing his work on the premise that to understand these realities the reflections and constructions of traditional Indian theorists are no less significant than the observations and paradigms of modern western historians and social scientists, he explores the self-understanding of such leading thinkers as Sankara, Kumarila, Bhartrhari and Udayana.

Sri Sarasvati in Indian Art and Literature/Niranjan Ghosh
Sri Sarasvati in Indian Art and Literature/Niranjan Ghosh. Delhi, Sri Satguru, 1984, ix, 126 p., 45 plates,. Rs.250
Contents: Preface. 1. Introduction. 2. Sarasvati as a river. 3. Relation of the Goddess Sarasvati with different deities. 4. Different aspects of the Goddess Sarasvati. 5. Iconographic representation of the Goddess Sarasvati in the Brahmanical art. 6. System of worshipping of the Goddess Sarasvati in the Brahmanical pantheon and results. 7. Concept and iconographic representation of the Goddess of learning (Sarasvati) in Buddhist art and literature. 8. Concept and iconographic representation of the Goddess of learning (Sarasvati) in Jain art and literature. Notes and references. Bibliography. Index.
"To dispel ignorance & light the lamp of knowledge had been the endevour of philosophers of every cline throughout the ages. The word philosophy means love of wisdom. Indians from immemorial ages have been the vistous of knowledge. The absolute is SAT, CHIT and ANANDA, and CHIT is knowledge.
"Abstract-ideas of philosophy become concrestsed from time to time and the worship of different Gods & Goddesses was evolved. SARASWATI is the Goddess of learning. The book now being published, studies the gradual evolution of the abstract idea into a female divinity worshipped in every household. The mytho-poetic faculty of the early philosophers and saints of India is undisrupted. The Brahmanical tradition is a standing proof of the same. Prosperity and development of knowledge, consciousness and learning is the aim of the worship of Saraswati and when new sects were established by religious reformers like Mahavira and Gautama BUDDHA, the popular crabing for the worship of a divinity into which they can dedicate themselves with veneration has been retained with of course some modifications.
"A large number of Hindu deities have been incorporated into the Buddhist pantheon and this gave rise to Buddhist Tantra literature. The followers of VAJRAYANA made use of attractive philosophical conceptions and tenets of the original Hindu of Vedic sources as well as of the new points of view of the reformist idealists.
"The Siddhas and Tirthankar of Jainism, the Hagiologists in particular had their own constitution towards the modification of the conception of divinity.
