Ancient Indian Massage
Massage, done according to the natural laws of human anatomy and energy flow, offers the most pleasurable benefit of all daily practices. Regular massage vibrates and energizes the skin, muscles and nerves simultaneously and helps the body become light, active and full of vitality. Body heat and vitality increase as the heart and circulatory system open up to provide fresh oxygen and energy to all parts of the system while simultaneously flushing out waste gases and chemicals.
Ancient Indian Mother-Goddess Votive Discs
Art Beauty and Creativity
The book is an attempt, among other things, to bring together Indian and Western theories of art, and engage them in a constructive debate with one another. In recent philosophical thinking about art, it has been suggested that the concept of art is a local institutional concept. It is institutions located within a culture that determine-so the argument goes- whether and whether it is good or bad art. While this may be true ofthe concept of art, as it taken the shape in modern west, there is, surely, a larger, more global concept of art which links it with our concern, the beauty,which is common to all mankind.The book is an attempt, among other things, to bring together Indian and Western theories of art, and engage them in a constructive debate with one another.

As The Flower Sheds its Fragrance
"When approaching God, one has to give everything, all one possesses. But people say: "How am I to give up my pride, my anger, my self-importance, how can I bear insult without a murmur?' When you give everything, you get everything." -Anandamayee Ma
"The Universe was created out of joy and this is why you find joy in the fleeting things of the world. Without joy, life is an ordeal. You must try to attain to that great joy which has brought forth the world." -Anandamyee Ma

Asoka Text and Glossary
The text and glossary are intended to provide the student of philology with a convenient handbook of Early Prakrit. The historian will find in this the ready means of checking various translations, sometimes misleading, of these important Indian documents of the third century B.C. The student of epigraphy must go to the Rocks and Pillars, or at least to estampages, photographs and plates-but in difficulties of interpretation he can find here for every Asokan form, as read up-to-date, all the passages where it occurs, or similar forms occur, with references to most at least of the literature on disputed forms.
