Description
Patra-Samvad is a compilation of scholarly correspondences of Thakur Jaideva Singh (1893-1986) with more than hundred contemporary scholars. It is not only a mere collection but a reflected repository of wisdom in the fields of philosophy, especially Kashmir Shaivism, and Indian musicology.
Thakur Jaideva Singh (1893-1986) was a renowned musicologist and a great scholar of Indian Philosophy. He was a true representative of Indian culture, a towering figure in the world of scholarship, as an erudite scholar of several subjects, as a teacher of philosophy, as one of the most eminent musicologists of India, and as a distinguished author in both English and Hindi. These aspects complemented each other so much, that they blended into one. As a versatile scholar, Thakur Saheb utilized his knowledge and insights to promote a better understanding of philosophy, which was the primary field of his scholarship, and of music, which was his lifelong passion. His knowledge and deep insights came to fruition, through his contacts, lectures and writings.
Thakur Saheb maintained contact with a great number of scholars, artists and important personalities the world over by simple correspondence, entrusted to the postal services. Out of those letters, academically valuable ones have been selected as source material of this collection. This collection contains important correspondences with great scholars such as: Pt. Gopinath Kaviraj, Swami Lakshman Joo, Vasudeva Sharan Agrawala, Anand K. Coomaraswamy etc.
This book is a unique document for knowing the intellectual panorama of Indian culture in the second part of the 20th century.

Holy Kashi to Vibrant Varanasi
Kashi/Banaras/Varanasi is a world of its own, a veritable mini India, unique in almost all respects. Its contradictions can be seen in its blend of spirituality and darkness, sanctity and filth, purity and deceipt, culture and grossness.
Luminous Kashi to Vibrant Varanasi presents, as no other book has done before, all these aspects of this paradoxical and fascinating city, and gives an amazing quantity of information on the city, its history, culture and people; its temples and tirthas, mathas and institutions; its scholars, some of them the best in the country; its festivals and lilas; its literature, music, painting and culture; its silk trade and crafts; and its typical inhabitants: sadhus, pandits, pandas, babus, rais, thugs and gundas. More than all, the book finds out, with the help of mythology and metaphysics, the essence of Kashi-its luminosity and its vibrancy! It finally says: walk not in the dark alleys, plunge not in the shallows, but more into the luminosity, and dive deep into the oceans of knowledge. The Kashi you find depends on how far you walk, how deep you dive!
