Age of The Nandas & Mauryas
The age of the Nandas and Mauryas (c. 400-185 B.C.) witnessed great changes sweeping over the face of Western Asia, over lands with which India had much to do from the dawn of history, and account must be taken of their effects, direct and indirect, on the political, economic and artistic life of India. In this seminal period when Indo-Aryan civilization may be said to have attained its maturity, India did not hesitate to borrow political and economic plans and artistic motifs from abroad, and put them to the most appropriate uses in her own institutions and monuments.
Tantric Forms of Ganesa
The number of publications dealing with Ganesa is not insignificant, few take original Sanskrit texts into consideration. The Tantric aspects of the deity have certainly been studied too little. This book contributes to our knowledge of this less familiar side of Ganesa. This text gives the iconographic peculiarities, mantras, and yantras of fourteen forms of Ganesa as well as instructions for the ritual application of the mantras.

Six Vedic Systems of Indian Philosophy
This book professes to be no more than a description of some of the salient points of each of the six systems of Indian philosophy. It does not claim to be exhaustive. It is calculated to appeal to the beginners and to arouse their curiosity in the subject. I hope that this presentation of the fundamental tenents of the six systems of Indian philosophy will be superseded by a more comprehensive examination of Indian philosophy.
Mahamudra and Atiyoga
Mahamudra and Atiyoga are particular forms of Buddhist spirituality : Mahamudra, the 'Great Seal', is considered by Tibetan teachers to be the essence of both the short path and the final instructions that conclude the gradual common and esoteric paths of Buddhist doctrines; Atiyoga of 'Extreme Union' represents the Buddhist Dzogchen or 'Great Completeness' doctrine.
