Abhinaya Darpanam
₹995Dance studies across genres require multiple approaches for an understanding of the sociological, phenomenological, political, cultural, philosophical and aesthetical practices that influences the dance’s kinesthetic and existential character. In the context of Bharatanatyam, the moment of explaining shifting ideologies and its impact on the form, content and process, is a moment of convergence.
Adhyasa
₹295The concept of Adhyasa in its three variants has to be asserted from the non-contradictory ground of Reality. In this context, there is a need to differentiate ‘mere appearance’ (as it appears) and ‘the actual appearance’ (as it is) or the unmanifest Reality. It cannot be denied that the concepts of ‘Brahmatkaikya’ and ‘Brahmabhava’ created confusion in many thinkers, but the authentic explanations by Sri Sankara steadfastly made the Advaitic perspective unchallengeable in all the times.
Aditya Hrdayam
₹150The book presents the original Sanskrit mantras of the ‘Aditya Hrdayam’ along with their Roman translation and lucid English translation. The verses are accompanied by detailed annotations that describe every term, concept and idea with great clarity.
Advaitic Mysticism Of Sankara
₹700This book attempts to elaborate and clarify Sankara’s understanding of brahmannubhava, in all its aspects, relying exclusively on his own writings. For this, not only the commentaries, but also the prakarana granthas have been taken into account. In the final chapter, brahmanubhava is compared with what was said about the mystic experience by two of the most authoritative exponents of christian and Islamic mysticisms, namely st, John of the cross and Jalalu’ d-Din Rumi, mainly to understand Sankara’s position without any ambiguity.
Age of The Nandas & Mauryas
₹695The 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.
