Indica Books
Classical Indian Dance in Literature and the Arts
The book vividly presents, analyses and critiques the varied facets of Indian aesthetics, especially the theory and technique of classical Indian dance, while doing a penetrating study of interrelationship that dancing has with literature, sculpture and music. In doing so, it surveys and analyses the contribution of great Sanskrit authors, theoreticians, playwrights of ancient and classical India such as Bharata, Bhasa, Kalidasa, Sudraka, Bhavabhuti, Abhinavagupta, Jayadeva and many more along with numerous Bhasa scholars of arts, aesthetics and literature, covering each and every nook and corner of the Indian sub-continent.
Saiva Philosophy of Kashmir
The goal and purpose in writing this book is to highlight,in the midst of diversity,the essential unity that seems to be constitutive of such religions that have an orientation that is deeply mystical. Basing himself on the absolutistic metaphysical thought of Kashmir Saivism,the author thereby has attempted to interpret spirituality in such universal terms as would enable one to discover the principle of unity of being among the spiritualities of all major religions.Thus the aim of the book is so noble as to allow the reader to have the vision of unity in the midst of diversity.
