The Indian Craftsman
This book The Indian Craftsman, by Ananda K. Coomaraswamy is a study of the second type of genius, the Indian Craftsman. The author has treated his subject from three points of view : the village, the town and the palace or temple, i.e. where the craftsman lived, worked and had their patrons. He has also minutely examined how the caste system, religion and the guild set up standards of quality and enforced their strict adherence.
The Inner Life
The talks which comprise this book, The Inner Life were given to students of Leadbeater and Annie Besant, his close associate and fellow clairvoyant. Leadbeater assumed that his audience was thoroughly familiar with his enlarged world view. In this new edition it seems necessary to sketch out some of the main features of this view, to make the book easily comprehensible.

The Life And Teachings Of Sai Baba Of Shirdi
The Life of Hiuen-Tsiang
Centuries before biography became a business, before the peccadilloes of Royal mistresses and forgotten courtesans obtained a ''market value,'' the writing of the Master's life by some cherished disciple was both an act of love and piety in the far East. The very footprints of the famous dead became Luminous, and their shadows shone in dark caves that once withheld them from the world.
The life of Milarepa
The Life Of Vivekananda And The Universal Gospel
In this volume, Romain Rolland, the great french savant and one of the finest examples of gallic grace in intellectual culture presents a fascinating and graphic account of Swami Vivekananda's life and message.
About his teachings he says: 'Vivekananda's words are great music, phrases in the style of Beethoven, stirring rhythms like the march of Handel choruses. I cannot touch these sayings of his, scattered as they are through the pages of books at thirty years' distance, without receiving a thrill through my body like an electric shock. And what shocks, what transports must have been produced when in burning words they issued from the lips of the hero!'
The Linga and the Great Goddess (HB)
Svami Karpatri (1907-1982), a revered contemporary sannyasin of exceptional personality, was renowned for his deep scriptural knowledge, which he used in his many writings to light up the Hindu orthodox point of view. The two significant articles presented here deal with the meaning of the Linga and the nature of the Great Goddess. Besides doctrinal and mythological clarifications, we find a sophisticated debate about the nature of sakti between two traditional schools: Nyaya and Mimamsa, which could be compared with those held in the times of Adi Sankara.
