Abhinavagupta’s Commentary on the Bhagavad Gita (PB)
₹875Abhinavagupta, probably the greatest genius of India in the fields of philosophy, aesthetics, poetics, dramaturgy, Tantra and mysticism, is being rediscovered only in the last few decades. Although several scholars, in India and abroad, are engaged in studying his works, it is surprising that there are still few translations available.
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.
