Theory of Karma
The ancient Vedantic knowledge reinforced by Brahmasutra and Bhagavadgita establish that it is, purely and solidly, the result (karmaphala) of earlier actions (karmas) of each one of the sentient entities. This is a strong and formidable solution to the unanswered questions like why does, one child being blessed to be born in either rich or healthy and sattvic family and another child being consigned to be born in a family living in poor conditions or unhealthy tamasic environment.
Thug or a Million Murders
Thug or a Million Murders is the history of the ancient practice of murdering pilgrims and the their goods which was especially prevalent in north India. Though the practice of robbing pilgrims was common the world over and the Christian and Muslim pilgrims both faced this problem it appears to have been more organised and even to some extent ritualistic in the central Indian plains.

W.Y.Evans-Wentz has described in a very lucid manner the philosophy and yoga systems of the great Tibetan yogis including Tilopa, Naropa, and Milarepa.

Transcendent Journey
TSwami Jnanananda Giri (1929–2015) was born in Zürich/Switzerland. He went to India at the age of twenty-two and joined in 1956 the ancient order of sannyasis (renunciates) who devote their lives to yoga, meditation and self-realization.
Swami Jnanananda never left India again. After his guru passed away he led the life of a wandering mendicant. Relying on God alone he travelled far and wide through India, particularly to the ancient places of pilgrimage and to many less known holy sites. His life was rich in encounters with saints, yogis and healers of manifold denominations. This life story he narrates in this book.
Gradually he became a guru himself and gathered a small group of disciples around him. He finally settled in the outskirts of the Himalayan hill station Mussoorie and lived in a tiny hut in the forest. For the last decade of his life this daily rhythm continued in Dehradun at the foot of the Himalayas, in his disciple Maitreyi’s house.
