View these books at http://www.indiaclub.com and order using our secure shopping cart. ______________________________\ ___ Legends of Devi Sukumari Bhattacharji - Disha - $4.50 - 103pg - pbk - 1995 This book is a captivating narration of various legends and folktales about the revered Devis or goddesses of the Hindu Pantheon. The goddesses not only epitomize the forces of good triumphing over evil, but also the source of wordly well-being. Their forms are many, ranging from the fierce to the benign. Intrinsically human in their frailties and shortcomings, most of the goddesses have attained divine status owing not so much to their supernatural powers as to their devotion, determination and sacrifice. This colorful collection of mythological tales remain closely woven in the fabric of Indian life and culture and often reflect the ceremonies, beliefs and value systems of a particular age. The book is vividly illustrated. These illustrations are symbolically rich. Specially commissioned, they in themselves constitute a storehouse of information on mythological iconography. http://www.indiaclub.com/cgi-win/book/bookstor/bookstor.exe/showbook?1496 ______________________________\ ___ The World of Fatwas Arun Shourie - HarperCollins - $17.75 - 685pg - pbk - 1998 A Fatwa is a decree, a ruling. The usual sequence is that a Muslim puts an issue before an authority, and the latter rules on the matter. The authorities that can issue a Fatwa are well recognized. The Fatwas accumulate. From time to time they are compiled. These compilation become both the high literature of the community as well as the Islamic version of Supreme Court Reports. The Fatwas are the Shariah in action, and the Shariah is a vital public issue in India today. No group exercises greater influence over the average Muslim than the Ulema, and nothing reveals the mind-set of the Ulema as do the collections of their Fatwas. The author, a well known journalist, has taken up five collections of Fatwas for study and analysis. These are: * Fatawa-i-Rizvia - Volumes I to XII * Kifayat-ul-Mufti, Mufti Kifayatullah ke Fatawi, Volume I to IX * Fatawa-i-Ulema Dar al-Ulum, Deoband, Volume I to XII * Fatawa-i-Abl-I-Hadis, Volume I to V * Fatawa-i-Rahimiyyah, Volume I to III Most Indian Muslims are Sunnis, some say almost 85 to 90 percent are Sunnis. Most Indian Sunnis are Barelvis, some would say two-thirds of them are, in particular those living in the countryside. The Fatawa-i-Rizvia is the most important collection of Fatwas of the Barelvis. It needs to be mentioned that both the collections of fatwas and the collection of hadis are high literature of the community and constitute the texts which students learn and memorize at the centers of Islamic learning. http://www.indiaclub.com/cgi-win/book/bookstor/bookstor.exe/showbook?1494 ______________________________\ ___ Hindu Ideals K Balasubramania Iyer - Bhartiya Vidya Bhavan - $3.50 - 103pg - pbk - 1992 In this book, the author expounds, the Hindu ideals of life and conduct in a convincing manner rescuing them from uninformed criticism of their content and their application. In a clear exposition of Hindu ideals, the author has dealt with the aims and objectives of man in life. The ideals of Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha of Hindu life have been explained with copious extracts from the Hindu scriptures, like the Upanishads and the Mahabharata. The Hindu ideal of duty is well expounded through extracts from the Bhagwad Gita. This book will serve as a source of enlightenment and inspiration to all through its well documented and well expounded pages. http://www.indiaclub.com/cgi-win/book/bookstor/bookstor.exe/showbook?1492 ______________________________\ ___ The Upanishads Translated by Juan Mascaro - Penguin - $6.50 - 143pg - pbk - 1994 The Upanishads represent for the Hindu approximately what the New Testament represents for the Christian. The earliest of these spiritual treatises, which vary greatly in length, were put down in Sanskrit between 800 and 400 BC. This selection from twelve Upanishads, with its illuminating introduction by Juan Mascaro, reveals the paradoxical variety and unity, the great questions and simple answers, the spiritual wisdom and romantic imagination of these 'Himalayas of the Soul'. "Your translation ..… has caught from those great words the inner voice that goes beyond the boundaries of words" -- Rabinderanath Tagore in a letter to the Translator http://www.indiaclub.com/cgi-win/book/bookstor/bookstor.exe/showbook?1490 ______________________________\ ___ Hindu Gods and Goddesses Swami Harshananda - Sri Ramakrishna Math - $2.50 - 177pg - pbk - 1987 There is a remarkable passage in the Bhadaranyaka Upanishad: 'The gods are fond of the cryptic, as it were, and dislike the evident' (Paroksapriya iva hi devah pratyaksadvisah). Many a scholar has overlooked this esoteric sentence. The meaning is, we are not to take every sentence in an etymological sense. The names of the gods, their raiment, their instruments have got symbolic and psychological significance. For instance, the ornaments and weapons which adorn the body of the Divine figure, symbolically represent the principles of the universe. A study of the Hindu gods is as fascinating as it is difficult. It is fascinating because of its exciting variety. It is difficult since is symbolic. Swami Harshananda has handled this subject with a fair degree of care and skill. His work is a valuable addition to the literature on the Gods of Hinduism. http://www.indiaclub.com/cgi-win/book/bookstor/bookstor.exe/showbook?1463 ______________________________\ ___ Vedanta - Voice of Freedom Swami Vivekananda - Advaita Ashram - $3.50 - 328pg - pbk - 1996 Edited by Swami Chetananda of the Vedanta Society of St. Louis, USA, this book with a forward by Christopher Isherwood, is an important contribution to understanding of Vedanta in the western world. It is a judicious and representative selection from the works of the most articulate expounder of Vedanta. A rich storehouse of inspiration and guidance, this selection represents the best of the Orient and the Occident, the finest of the ancient and the modern. Though this work will appeal to the general reader, it should be widely used in courses dealing with Indian civilization, comparative religion, and Eastern philosophy. http://www.indiaclub.com/cgi-win/book/bookstor/bookstor.exe/showbook?1451 ______________________________\ ___ The Essence of the Vedas and Allied Scriptures Basdeo Bisoondoyal - Jaico/Crest - $5.50 - 150pg - pbk - 1997 This selection of verses comprises the main ideas of the Vedas. The author has succeeded in proving that the great thoughts of the master mind of the West and the East are reminiscent of those that are to be found in the Vedas. The introduction makes interesting reading. It brings an abstruse subject within reach of one and all and thus creates in the reader the desire to read the whole work at a stretch. It is a stimulating book. http://www.indiaclub.com/cgi-win/book/bookstor/bookstor.exe/showbook?1449 ______________________________\ ___ Devi: Goddesses of India Edited: John S. Hawley et al - Motilal Banarsidas - $13.50 - 352pg - pbk - 1998 This extraordinary collection explores twelve different Hindu Goddesses, all of whom are in some way related to Devi, the Great Goddess. This collection combines analysis of texts with intensive fieldwork, allowing the reader to see how goddesses are worshiped in everyday life. In these essays, the divine feminine in Hinduism is revealed as never before - fascinating, contradictory, powerful. The volume brings together in a useful way both older and very current research on goddesses from different regional traditions. This accomplishment helps to move western scholarship on Indian goddesses away from the essentializing and overgeneralizing that has been characteristic of many analyses so far. http://www.indiaclub.com/cgi-win/book/bookstor/bookstor.exe/showbook?1443 ______________________________\ ___ Cooking the World - Ritual & Thought in Ancient India Charles Malamoud - Oxford - $19.75 - 354pg - pbk - 1998 The Vedas give the following definition of man:' Of all the animals that could possibly be considered sacrificial victims, man is the only one that can perform sacrifices'. The essays in this volume attempt to unravel the doctrine on man that is condensed into this sentence. The title, Cooking the World, comes from the Sanskrit expression Lokapati: man 'cooks' the world and in executing the rites, is himself cooked. Malamoud approaches India by following the paths traced by ancient Indian prescriptions and speculations on ritual, and illuminates questions posed by the Vedas on the gods, their bodies, and their language. This book is a mine of reliable information and interesting, often thought-provoking interpretations. It serves a very useful purpose by making available to a wider reading public the fruits of valuable research. http://www.indiaclub.com/cgi-win/book/bookstor/bookstor.exe/showbook?1438 ______________________________\ ___ Tantric Visions of the Divine Feminine David Kinsley - Motilal Banarsidas - $13.25 - 318pg - pbk - 1998 This work deals with a group of ten Hindu tantric goddesses, the Mahavidyas, who embody habits, attributes, or identities usually considered repulsive or socially subversive. It is within the context of tantric worship that devotees seek to identify themselves with these forbidding goddesses. The Mahavidyas seem to function as "awakeners" - symbols that help to project one's consciousness beyond the socially acceptable or predictable. Kinsley not only describes the eccentric qualities of each of these goddesses, but seeks to interpret the Mahavidyas as a group and to explain their importance for understanding Tantra and the Hindu tradition. Readable and engaging, it is a wonderful study. Far-ranging and impressively comprehensive, this book will set a new standard for the kind of thorough scholarship that can be brought to bear upon the interpretation of Hindu goddesses and Tantric deities. http://www.indiaclub.com/cgi-win/book/bookstor/bookstor.exe/showbook?1432 ______________________________\ ___ Hindu Mythology W J Wilkins - Rupa - $10.50 - 499pg - pbk - 1998 This is an authoritative and exhaustive account of the Hindu gods and goddesses commonly worshipped in India, and their origin, and the myths and legends that grew around them. Not only does it deal with the Vedic deities, the puranic deities and the female deities, it also gives a full account of the lesser deities, the demons, the sacred birds, animals and trees, providing excellent illustrations traditional in character. The Hindu pantheon has so many gods and goddesses that even the very devout find it difficult to remember all about them. Here in one volume they are presented, each identified and brought alive , giving a complete picture of the Hindu the agony. http://www.indiaclub.com/cgi-win/book/bookstor/bookstor.exe/showbook?1421 ______________________________\ ___ Srimad Bhagavad Gita Swami Swarupananda - Advaita Ashram - $6.50 - 430pg - HB - 1996 Among the great scriptures of Hinduism, the Bhagavad Gita is the most pre-eminent, both from the profundity of its thought and practicability of its discipline. Here one finds the fairest flowers of the Vedas cleared of the weeds and underbrush of rituals, ceremonies, and myths. This volume includes text in original Sanskrit, word-for-word Translation, English rendering, Comments and Index. http://www.indiaclub.com/cgi-win/book/bookstor/bookstor.exe/showbook?1415 ______________________________\ ___ Vivekananda A Compilation - Advaita Ashram - $7.50 - 587pg - HB - 1997 Swami Vivekananda was a multifaceted personality - a great spiritual teacher, who ceaselessly worked for the good of all. This volume is an anthology of Forty Articles written by scholarly writers of both the East and the West, and describe how Swamiji worked to awaken the spiritual consciousness of human beings all over the world and how he brought about a new movement in human life and society. http://www.indiaclub.com/cgi-win/book/bookstor/bookstor.exe/showbook?1472 ______________________________\ ___ Talks with Swami Vivekananda A Compilation - Advaita Ashram - $3.75 - 500pg - pbk - 1993 This is a handy book recording the conversation of Swami Vivekananda with his friends and disciples. His words and ideas appearing in this compilation have special value because they are not trammeled by formality associated with public platform. In these conversations, Swami Vivekananda gives direction on spiritual practice and meditation, talks of high philosophy and in the next breath discusses the problems of national regeneration, social and educational reforms etc. The conversations took place in Bengali and were originally published in the Udbodhan - a Bengali monthly of the Ramakrishna order. http://www.indiaclub.com/cgi-win/book/bookstor/bookstor.exe/showbook?1469 ______________________________\ ___ The India Club, Inc. 249 Lucas Lane, Suite 6 Voorhees, NJ 08043, USA Toll Free: 1-888-935-CLUB / 609-651-0436 Fax: 609-651-0435 E-mail: books http://www.indiaclub.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
