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.
The Transcendent Unity of Religions
The Two Truths in Chinese Buddhism
This book originates from a thesis work whereby it is one of the first comprehensive study of Chi-tsang's treatment of The Two Truths in English. The work aims to build up a strong interest in readers, paritularly, people in Western societies who are unfamiliar with Chinese tradition, culture and language. It is, therefore, of considerable significance in enabling scholarly readers who do not have access to Chinese Originals to gain a well-rounded and diversified appreciation of Madhyamaka interpretation.
The Tyagaraja Cult in Tamilnadu
Tyagaraja is a Somaskanda and the first visual representation of this composite deity can be traced to the time of pallava rule. The concept of Somaskanda is unique to Tamilnadu. The Cola monarchs were devotees of Tyagaraja. The book analyses the Tyagaraja Cult from three perspectives: as a religious synthesiser, socio-cultural integrator and legitimiser of the ideologies of the State.

The Vedanta Doctrine of Sri Sankaracarya
The Vibrating Universe
The Vibrating Universe synthesizes the superstring theory of modern physics and the vibration concept of Advaita Vedanta and Kashmiri Saivism. The Philosophical problem of monism versus pluralism, as given in Indian philosophy, Western philosophy and classical as well as modern science, has been analytically presented. In this attempt, dualism and pluralism have been rejected, and non-dualism has been re-established.
The Wisdom of Ananda Coomaraswamy
The World As Power
There is a Supreme Reality which is Eternal and Indefinable. It is an Absolute, inconceivable and ineffable-The Brahman. Unknowable in its utterness, this Reality presents itself to us in three supreme terms of its truth : an absolute Existence, Sat; an absolute Consciousness, Cit; and an absolute Bliss, Ananda. This is the poise of Brahman turned towards self-revelation.
