The Sacred Marriage of A Hindu Goddess
Moving beyond traditional understanding of the catagory of ''sacred marriage'' derived from studies of the ancient Near East, Harman reveals that sacred marriage in India functions as a devotional metaphor for Hindu devotees, a way understanding how deities act toward one another and toward who worship them. Combining sdystematic textual study with descriptive fieldwork, Harman offers us an original and perceptive exploration of the relationship between the human and the divine in Hindu life.
Spiritual treasure of St. Ramadasa
To write about the different modes of worshipping God and to say about the relation between the devotee and God without referencen to the speculative problems in philosophy is also easy. But to take into consideration both the intellectual quest of the philosopher and the actual devotional interest and practice of an aspirant and the experiences and the mature wisdom of a saint, and then to construct a philosophy of religion which all easy. This becomes all the more difficult when one has to deal with the polytheistic belief of the Hindus, and then to reconcile it with monotheism and monism, and to synthesize it future with mystical realization.

Letters Of Swami Vivekananda
Letters are the reflection of one's mind. We can imagine the magnetic effect the letters of a dynamic Personality and saints like Swami Vivekananda had open the lives of those to whome they were addressed. His letters contain many passages, a single one of which is sufficient to bring about a great revolution and complete transformation in one's life.
In this volume an attempt has been made to bring together all the essential letters of Swamiji, while less important ones, not dealing with topics of general interest have been omitted.
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!'
Selection from the Complete Works of swami Vivekananda
The published writings and speeches of Swami Vivekananda cover more than four thousand five hundred pages. Many do not have an access to all his writings and many others have not the time or patience to go through them all.
Though it is a difficult task to produce a representative selection out of the Swami's varied writings and speeches, this volume is placed before the public with the hope that this will inspire the readers to study Swamiji more thoroughly.
