Aditya Hrdayam
A Classical Dictionary of Hindu Mythology and Religion
The main portion of this work consists of mythology, but religion is bound up with mythology, and in many points the two are quite inseparable. Of history, in the true sense, Sanskrit possesses nothing, or next to nothing, but what little has been discovered here finds its place. The chief geographical names of the old writers also have received notice, and their localities and identifications are described so far as present knowledge extends.

Hindustani Music Today
Stating that Hindustani music should be rightly termed ''Art music'' and not ''classical music'', the book begins by discussing the features of Art music and presents an approach to appreciating Hindustani music. It provides a detailed understanding of the components of the raga experience in Hindustani music, including their time theory and the role of Gharanas of the musical tradition.
Mrtyu
This study is the result of many years of research in India and Europe, in universities, museums, academies, libraries, and public and private foundations. Setting aside the impersonal, objective tone which a scientific work requires, I wish to express my gratitude to all those samnyasins, brahmanas, relatives of dead and dying persons, doms, and to all those living around cremation grounds, whom we cannot of course mention by name.
Life and Teachings of Adi Sankaracarya
This book is intended for scholars, students and general readers. Accordingly, the early researches on the date and works of Sankara have been brought out in detail. Not only Sankara's commentaries on the Upanisads, Bhagavad Gita and the Brahma Sutra but also the books attributed to him, especially the minor works (prakarana granthas) and hymns (stotras), have been narrated purposefully for the sake of students and general readers.

Sakta Contribution to Varanasi
This book incorporates a good number of paperrs on multiple aspects of Sakta traditions practised in Varanasi continuing from hoary past to-date. Beside philosophical, religious and cultural leanings the contents expose the iconographic, ritualistic and artistic rendering of the Divine Mother. Kasi or Varanasi has been a stronghold of religious and spiritual fervour, and several religious sects have contributed to its present texture. Saktism has also been a forceful current in the cultural stream of this holy city. This is evidenced by several Devi temples, Sakti-pithas, yantras, fairs and festivals associated with the worship of Mother-Goddess.
