The Story of Indian Music and Its Instruments
The Study Of Palmistry
The Supreme Yoga : Yoga Vasistha
The Yoga Vasistha has been a favourite book of spiritual seekers in India these several centuries. Its special appeal lies in its thoroughly rational approach, and in its presentation of Vedanta as a philosophy to bridge the gulf between the secular and the sacred, action and contemplation, in human life, through a comprehensive and lofty spirituality.

The source materials have also been given.
The Tarkabhasa of Kesavamisra

It is quiet evident that Tarkabhasa is written by Kesava Misra, as mentioned at the end of the text. It presents the subject matter in an easy language.

The Tibetan Book of the Great Liberation
The Timing of Events
The Timing of Events fulfils an important gap in classical astrological literature. The ancient seers with yogic siddhis did not need rules for predicting future events. They clairvoyantly saw the future course of events. The astrological principles are given for those who are not so evolved. The astrological principles aim at helping those who are interested to live a life according to the evolutionary course of their everyday life.
The Touch of Sakti
The Kashmirian Saiva tradition, especially in its non-dualistic form, is perhaps the richest philosophical one in India. It is among the few that have survived to our days. It has even spread (if in not always very valid versions) to the Western world. A study such as this one, on the particularly interesting subject of saktisparsa, cannot therefore but be welcome.
