Encyclopaedia of Indian Iconography : Hinduism--Buddhism—Jainism/S.K. Ramachandra Rao. Reprint. Delhi, Satguru, 2003, 3 volumes, xviii, 1744 p.,
Rs.5000. US $255 (set). ISBN 81-7030-765-1.
"The present publication, Encyclopaedia of Indian Iconography, is intended to focus attention on the traditional details concerning images and their worship. The details given in these volumes are taken entirely from the traditional texts of Agama and Silpa-sastra, like Brhatsamhita, Manasara, Kasyapa-silpa, Isana-siva-guru-deva-paddhati, Silpa-ratna, Padma-samhita, Hayasirsa-samhita, Vaikhanasagama and Rupa-mandana. The entries include not only the Gods and Goddesses of popular so-called Hinduism, but also the divinities of Jaina (both Digambara and Svetambara divisions) and Buddhist (Mahayana) religions. The deities worshipped in Nepal and Tibet are also included. Sadhana-mala has been used for descriptions of Buddhist deities, and Rupa-mandana for Jaina deities. Most of the entries are illustrated by line-drawings of images in temples, monasteries, basadis and in museums. Topics of peripheral interest (like temple-construction, image-making worship rituals and Agama divisions) have also been included here.
"The volumes follow the Sanskrit alphabetical order (akaradi) to facilitate translation into Indian languages. The first volume begins with the words beginning with vowels in Sanskrit alphabet. Followed with mute consonants and the rest of the consonants in the subsequent volumes.
"Among various and synonymous names of the deities, the better known ones have been selected for entry, while cross-references also have been indicated. Wherever necessary, background stories for particular iconographical representations have been given."

Tapta-Marga/ Walter O. Kaelber

indian books

Tapta-Marga/ Walter O. Kaelber
Tapta-Marga Asceticism and Initiation in Vedic India Walter O. Kaelber
Delhi,Sri Satguru. Rs.200.
About the Book
"Kaelber takes a subject which looks obscure at first sight, digests, distills, and comments on a difficult body of scholarship, and then writes about it in a way that is easily accessible to any beginning reader on the subject while at the same time fresh, abrim with new insights, and a stimulating read for the scholar. He achieves this by persistently showing how tapas, in its many transformations, remains at the center of the mainstream of Vedic religion from its beginnings to its Upanishadic 'end.' I see this book as something we have long needed for the teaching of Hinduism: a good book with which to introduce students to the continuities of Vedic religion." -- Alf Hiltebeitel, George Washington University
This is the most comprehensive study yet made of tapas and of asceticism during the Vedic period. It also explains three other essential components of Vedic thought: sacrifice, homology, and knowledge. These concepts, along with tapas and initiation symbolism, reveal the heart of Vedic religion. therefore, this study presents a "history of Vedic religion," organized around the central building blocks of that tradition.
"This is an excellent study of an important topic in the history of Vedic religion. What I like best about the work is the way it reveals the variety of meanings and uses of tapas in different contexts to establish connections between natural, human, and cosmic realities and to maintain continuity between ritual tradition and the path of knowledge. This is a creative study that provides important new insights into the basic principles of Vedic religion." -- Thomas J. Hopkins, Franklin and Marshall College
Walter O. Kaelber is Professor of Religious Studies at Wagner College.

Life and Teachings of Sri Ma Anandmayi : A Bird on the Wing/Bithika Mukerji.

indian books

Life and Teachings of Sri Ma Anandmayi : A Bird on the Wing/Bithika Mukerji.

Delhi, Sri Satguru Pub., 2005, xix, 347 p., US$22. (pbk). ISBN 81-7030-810-0.
Contents: Preface. 1. The places where Sri Ma Anandamayi lived as a child. 2. From childhood of maturity. 3. The manifestation of Sakti as Sadhana. 4. The Ma of Dhaka. 5. The beginning of the ceaseless wanderings. 6. The last years in Dhaka. 7. The bird on the wing. 8. The pilgrimage to Kailasha. 9. Sri Ramani Mohan Chakravarty : Bhyolanathji. 10. The changing order. 11. Sri Ma and the Sadhu-samaja. 12. A harmonius presence. 13. A confluence of many streams. 14. Through a spectrum of rainbow colours. 15. Swami Muktananda Giri. 16. The last flight - beyond horizons. Glossary of Sanskrit words. Index.
"For a span of more than 50 years Ma Anandamayi treaded gracefully the spiritual horizon of India -- and in her wake followed top dignitaries, as well as the lowliest of the lowly, enchanted by her gentle dispensation of wisdom and love to all...
To the man in the street she was the guru' and confidante of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. All V.I.Ps visiting India made an appointment with her an item in their itineraries. No big religious function was held anywhere in the country without an invitation to her for her gracious and radiant presence on the dais.
The keepers of our heritage -- the ascetic orders of India were united in recognizing Ma Anandamayi as the quintessence of the Upanishadic tradition....scholars trained in modern universities derived inspiration from her. Ma Anandamayi by her presence in our midst during the most difficult decades of our times, consolidated our past and taught how to live in the very demanding times of the twentieth century and face up to the challenge of the twenty first. She was born in India but in herself she belongs to humanity (Colin Turnbull).
Swami Sivananda (Divine Life Society) had said that she was the finest flower that the soil of India had produced. Such question as whether she was an incarnation, a Siddha Yogin or the adya sakti (Pandit Gopinath Kaviraj) used to sink into irrelevancies in her presence. She was for everyone, man, women and child from all corners of the world, a guide of infallible power, a friend of unfailing compassion and understanding.
To Ma Anandamayi, there was no one who was an 'other'. In her we touched a dimension of unity which encompassed all religions and all countries. Each person in her presence found fulfilment and her presence is ever-abiding

Umapati's Commentary on the Pauskaratantra, Chapter 7. Pramana/translated by Usha Colas-Chauhan.

indian books
Umapati's Commentary on the Pauskaratantra, Chapter 7. Pramana/translated by Usha Colas-Chauhan.

Delhi, Sri Satguru Pub., 2007, viii, 300 p., $28. ISBN 81-7030-857-7.
Contents: Acknowledgements. 1. Introduction. 2. Translation. 3. Text. Abbreviations and bibliography.

"The Pauskara, belonging to the class of literature generally known as Tantra or Agama, is an important text for the comprehension of Saiva philosophy. The seventh chapter of its doctrinal section (jnanapada) is not only a remarkable source of information on Saiva epistemology, but also a gold-mine of significant elements valuable for the study of early Indian logic. Umapati's commentary on this chapter introduces new features, sometimes in a post-15 century Navyanyaya dialectical style, and bears testimony to the evolution of Saiva epistemology.

This translation aims to bring an important aspect of Saiva philosophy to the attention of scholars and to facilitate comparative studies of Saiva epistemology."

About the Book
David Frawley is the author of many books on the spiritual traditions of India and is one of the few Westerners ever recognized in India as a Vedacharya or teacher of the Vedic Tradition. Beyond the Mind presents the essential knowledge and insights taken from his in-depth studies free of any technical terms for the benefit of the broader audience of all those interested in the fundamental issues of human life. Beyond The mind is a profound examination of the nature of the mind and of what we call reality. It raises fundamental questions as to the nature of the self and the nature of the world. It is a provocative challenge to all that we commonly believe and know that can help us move into an entirely different dimension of being, in which alone may be the solution to our present personal and collective problems.

If you practice mediation, this is the book you’ll want to take everywhere with you! Steve and Rosemary Weissman offer insights into the development process, because when you start to meditate, you eventually will look at all the problems that people on the spiritual path want to overcome. How do you deal with anger, fear, greed, aversion, or being judgmental? The Weissmans offer a guided meditation to help get rid of feelings of guilt and lack of self-worth; they present a way to learn how to look at the world around you with compassion and lovingkindness. Full of practical information, this is a resource that you’ll use over and over again, and you may want to give it to a friend. The Weissmans teach mediation retreats at the Wat Kow Tahm Meditation Center in Thailand. They also teach in the United States and at their center in Australia. This book was written at the request of people who have studied with them, for many students of Vipassana meditation wanted a ready reference to take home. Included with the text is basic instruction for working with meditation postures – sitting, standing, lying, and walking—so you can learn to use Vipassana mediation techniques everywhere you go.

8. Mudras - Yoga in Your Hands/ Gertrud Hirschi **
9. On Being Mindless- Buddhist Meditation and the Mind Bodhy Problem/ Paul J. Griffiths, **
ISBN: 81-7030-606-X, Series: Bibliotheca Indo-Buddhica Series No.196
About the Book
Indian Buddhist philosophers say that it is possible to achieve, by specific meditational techniques, a distinctive ‘altered state’ which they call ‘the attainment of cessation’. In this state, the stream of mental events is temporarily brought to a complete halt: the practitioner becomes mindless. The possibility and desirability of such an altered state was extensively discussed by Buddhist thinkers in India. In these discussions, they were compelled to consider the causal connections between the mental and the physical, and thus to clarify their positions on what in the west has usually been called the mind-body problem. On Being Mindless presents these discussions to an English speaking readership for the first time, including analysis and translation of texts not previously available in English and, in some cases, of material not available in any Western language. Opposing fashionably relativistic approaches to non-Western philosophical traditions, Paul Griffiths critically comments upon the analyses of mindlessness given by Buddhist thinkers. He maintains that “the functions, nature, and limits of rationality are conceived similarly in all cultures” and rejects” that humility which, all too often in those Western academic circles where the study of Buddhist thought is carried on, refuses to take its material with philosophical seriousness”. On Being Mindless is a study in cross-cultural philosophy which should do much to increase awareness among Western scholars of the precision and subtlety of India Philosophical thinking. It may also encourage Western philosophers to look beyond the barriers of their own culture and language for serious philosophical analysis.

This new translation, drawings its inspiration from both careful scholarship and yogic practice, offers innovative features in that it: provides a full grammatical analysis of each term used by Patanjali, including an analysis of word compounds. Emphasizes the style and flow of the central author, rather than deferring to later commentaries. Includes a concise introduction, surveying earlier scholarship on the text and highlighting what the translators perceive to be its central theme: the process of subtilization. Uses consistent translation of Sanskrit terms such as artha (purpose) and visaya (condition), whereas prior translations have often given more than one translation for the same Sanskrit word. Selectively retains technical vocabulary in the original, thus challenging the reader to expand his or her linguistic horizons by assimilating Sanskrit terms such as purusa, prakrit, guna and dharma. A Sannkrit word index and Bibliography of prior translations are included.
16. Yoga- A Study of the Mystical Philosophy of the Brahmins and Buddhists/ J.F.C. Fuller, US$ 10
ISBN: 81-7030-138-6, Series: Sri Garib das Oriental Series No. 63
From the preface:
"Much has been written about Yoga ever since the Theosophists "discovered" spiritual India, and not a little of a very uninformed nature which, in place of elucidating a complex mental science, has either perplexed the student or rendered the whole subject ridiculous. In this book it is my intention to abide by facts and simultaneously introduce sufficient cross references to other mystical systems, such as western magic and the Qabalah, to show that Yoga is one of a series of means of deliverance from worldly illusions. All these systems are closely related; for, in one sense, they and many others, such as Christian mysticism, Quietism, Buddhism, Taoism and Sufism, are spiritual languages the words of which differ in sound but the meanings of which are identical."

ISBN: 81-7030-823-2 , Series: Sri Garib Das Oriental Series No. 292
About the Book
The Agama literature includes the Silpa-Sastra, which is basic to iconography. Worship dealt with I the Agama necessarily involves images which are worship-worthy. The rituals and sequences that are elaborated in the Agama books find relevance only in the context of an icon which is contained in a shrine. And icons are meaningful only in the context of shrines and worship. Agama texts are not easily accessible to the people. A large number of them are still available only in manuscripts, some of them which have been printed are only in their Sanskrit originals. There is need, therefore, to present relevant excerpts from them at least, to make the volumes on iconography more meaningful. Further, Indian temples are to be considered only in the general framework of temple culture, which include not only religious and philosophical aspects also. The volumes named Agama Encyclopaedia named Agama Encyclopaaedia deals with the temple-culture and Agama framework, the sectarian division of the Agama into Saiva, Vaisnava and Sakta, and the topics selected from the Agama texts follow. Thus, the entirety of the Agama, literature in so far as it is relevant to the temple-culture is brought within the scope of the Agama Encyclopaedia.

About the Book
Curiosity to know one’s future is both natural and universal; and therefore any method which attempts to unravel the mystery of the future has an attraction for the future has an Astrology, palmistry, numerology and various extrasensory processes which claim to predict the future have a popular appareal. An elementary knowledge of astronomy and a historical perspective are indispensable for a beginner. After going through the authoritative texts like Brihat Jataka, Brihat Parasara, Horasastra, Phaladipika etc., one arrives at the conclusion that the variables one has to tackle are far too many and the interpretations far too numerous and the task of integrating the diverse material is too complex. The subject requires deep study and one has to develop an insight and intuition to become a successful astrologer. The author has tried to present the essentials of Hindu Astrology with as objective an approach possible.

18. Sarada Tilaka Tantram/ Eng. Trans. By a Board of Scholars, US$ 20
ISBN 81-7030-175-0
About the Book
"The work by Laksmanadesika comprises twenty-five chapters. The commentator Ragahvabhatta states that of the 25 chapters of the Sarada-tilaka, chapters 1-24 correspond to the 24 tattvas of Samkhya Philosophy and the last one devoted to Yoga, show that Purusa of Samkhya is beyond Prakriti and Vikriti. The first chapter is Prakriti as it discusses creation. Chapters ii-xxiv deals with Prakriti-Vikriti. In this work, Siva is represented both as Saguna and Niguna according to how he is identified with Prakriti or differentiated from it. From Prakriti or Sakti arises Nada which gives rise to Bindu. The interesting features of this work are practices for subjugation of women, destruction of enemies and Tantras for malevolent purposes. Diksa, Purscarana and nyasa figures prominently in it chapters vii-xxii deals with the Mantras of Saraswati, Lakshmi, Bhuvneswari, Durga, Tripura, Ganesha and Candramas. This work contains list of works known and unknown. It draws materials from Astronomical and mathematical works. Though generally sober, this work lays down the six malevolent rites, and prescribes the propitiation of the respective presiding deities. The drawing of Yantras for malefic purposes is also prescribed. It should also be noted that unlike many other works of this kind, it is free from the usual practices of the Vamamarga."

ISBN: 81-7030-832-1, Series: Sri Garib Dass Oriental Series No. 304
About the Book
Srividya is discipline where abounds considerable mystery, esotericism and occultism. There is among common people quite some ignorance concerning its philosophy and practice. There is also a host of doubts and uncertainties among practitioners themselves. The presence of different tradition in Srividya is a further source of confusion. The textual background to Srividya has almost become obscure and obsolete; it has become more a matter of individual lineages of practices. In the circumstances there is a need for an authentic and comprehensive account of all three aspects of Srividya, viz. The Yantra, The Mantra and The Tantra. This Book is an attempt to provide one. Along with all textual details concerning the philosophy and practice of Srividya, relevant iconographic details with illustrations have also been given.

"This volume presents both translation and interpretation, based upon traditional and contemporary commentaries, of these verse-treatises. It is the first such presentation in a western language.
"These short treatises may be characterized as the practical theology of Vallabhacharya's 'Path of Grace' (pustimarga). For he wrote most of them in response to the questions of specific disciples, about central topics of the path of loving devotion to Lord Krishna, such as: worship (seva) of the Lord, the path of grace and the other paths, initiation to this path of worship and grace, worries about worship, refuge in and surrender to Lord Krishna, commands given by the Lord or one's guru, how love of the Lord grows stronger, whether renunciation (samnyasa) might help or hinder that love, the 'constraint' (nirodha) by which Krishna loves the devotee, and the reward of such worship, among other topics."

ISBN: 81-7030-842-9
About the Book
In the applied arts of India iconometery, talamana, the knowledge of the measurements and the proportions of images, has an old tradition, not entirely different from the Greek and the Renaissance tradition.Ever since B.Laufer's study about the Citralaksana in 1913 the subject has raised new interest among artists and scholars alike. The Indian Buddhist Pratimalaksana, which is edited in transcription and translated into English here, may date from the 10th century, anyway before Atisa (died 1054) . The Tibetan translation was made by the Tibetan Grags-pargyal-mtshan (ca. 1285-1378) and the Indian Dharmadhara, in souther Tibet before 1322, date of Bu-ston's catalogue. The text most probably belongs to the Mulasarvastivada tradition. The Chinese translation is the work of the Mongolian aristocrat mGon-po skyabs, Gongbu Chabu in Chinese ( ca. 1690-1750) , The text was brought out in 1742 at Qianlong's court in Beijing. mGon-po skyabs translated the Tibetan text in Chinese , and he added a commentary using Tibetan Literature, Thge Chinese text in this volume is based on the Japanese edition T. 1419, but the stanzas are numbered, and the commentary in prose is separated from the main text. Illustrations have been added. The glossaries at the end will help further more research, it is hoped. The Chinese Translation of Sanskrit words is often very useful to know the exact meaning of a term, in both languages

4. Introduction to Indian Astrology/ Rama R Rao, US$ 13
ISBN: 81-7030-835-6
About the Book
Curiosity to know one’s future is both natural and universal; and therefore any method which attempts to unravel the mystery of the future has an attraction for the future has an Astrology, palmistry, numerology and various extrasensory processes which claim to predict the future have a popular appareal. An elementary knowledge of astronomy and a historical perspective are indispensable for a beginner. After going through the authoritative texts like Brihat Jataka, Brihat Parasara, Horasastra, Phaladipika etc., one arrives at the conclusion that the variables one has to tackle are far too many and the interpretations far too numerous and the task of integrating the diverse material is too complex. The subject requires deep study and one has to develop an insight and intuition to become a successful astrologer. The author has tried to present the essentials of Hindu Astrology with as objective an approach possible.

About the Book
Srividya is discipline where abounds considerable mystery, esotericism and occultism. There is among common people quite some ignorance concerning its philosophy and practice. There is also a host of doubts and uncertainties among practitioners themselves. The presence of different tradition in Srividya is a further source of confusion. The textual background to Srividya has almost become obscure and obsolete; it has become more a matter of individual lineages of practices. In the circumstances there is a need for an authentic and comprehensive account of all three aspects of Srividya, viz. The Yantra, The Mantra and The Tantra. This Book is an attempt to provide one. Along with all textual details concerning the philosophy and practice of Srividya, relevant iconographic details with illustrations have also been given.

ISBN: 81-7030-823-2 , Series: Sri Garib Das Oriental Series No. 292
About the Book
The Agama literature includes the Silpa-Sastra, which is basic to iconography. Worship dealt with I the Agama necessarily involves images which are worship-worthy. The rituals and sequences that are elaborated in the Agama books find relevance only in the context of an icon which is contained in a shrine. And icons are meaningful only in the context of shrines and worship. Agama texts are not easily accessible to the people. A large number of them are still available only in manuscripts, some of them which have been printed are only in their Sanskrit originals. There is need, therefore, to present relevant excerpts from them at least, to make the volumes on iconography more meaningful. Further, Indian temples are to be considered only in the general framework of temple culture, which include not only religious and philosophical aspects also. The volumes named Agama Encyclopaedia named Agama Encyclopaaedia deals with the temple-culture and Agama framework, the sectarian division of the Agama into Saiva, Vaisnava and Sakta, and the topics selected from the Agama texts follow. Thus, the entirety of the Agama, literature in so far as it is relevant to the temple-culture is brought within the scope of the Agama Encyclopaedia.

ISBN: 81-7030-828-3, Series: Sri Garib Dass Oriental Series No. 301

Ganesa’s popularity is manifold. He is the favourite god of the masses. He is also the favourite subject for curio-hunters and collectors of icons. Painters and sculptors have revelled in depicting this god in a variety of forms and postures. The Tantrik practitioners have found in him a benevolent power, quick to acquire and enduring in nature. Literature about Ganesh is remarkable, varied and large. Works in Sanskrit, which appear to have provides the main source material for all of them, are themselves large in number and varied in nature. An attempt has been made here to present a comprehensive picture of Ganesa that is of interest to an Indian mind. The picture assumes the Vedic origin of Ganesa and the Smrti and the Tantrick involvements of the deity. It recognizes the primal importance given to this god in the daily life of millions of Indians. And it seeks to provide authentic information about Ganesh from texts. The books contains drawings of numerous Ganesa Icons, worshipped in our temples or preserved in museums.
10. Metaphysics and Mysticism in Mahayana Buddhism- An Analytical Study of the Ratnagotravibhago-Mahayanottaratantra-sastram / C.D. Sebastian/ US$ 33
ISBN: 81-7030-826-7, Series: Bibliotheca Indo-Buddhica Series No. 238
About the Book
Canonical and classical Mahayana literatue falls into two classes viz., Prajanaparamita and the Tathagatagarbha classes. The Ratnagotravibhago Mahayanottaratantra Sastra, popularly known as the Uttaratantra, is the foremost example of the Tathagata-garbha literature. In this volume the author makes an exegetical and analytic study of the same text, and brings out the metaphysical and mystical bearings of Mahayana Buddhism. The teaching of the Uttaratantra is a perfect blend of philosophy, religion, spiritual discipline, mysticism and metaphysics – a blend which is characteristic of Buddhism. Tathagata-garbha is an important Mahayana principle, which explains that all living beings possess the essence of Buddha-hood (Sarvasattvas-tathatagata-garbhah). Tathagata-garbha toeory is a teaching that gives great optimism for all living beings in the pursuit of Bodhi (Enlightenment) of Buddhatva (Buddha-hood). This theory enshrines in it a sublime concept that all the sentient beings are potential Buddhas or all will attain Buddha-hood. Owing to the presence of Tathagata-garbha in all, one perceives the equality of oneself with others, and works for the wellbeing of all living beings, as one’s entire life motif. According to A.K. Chatterjee, an outstanding authority on Yogacara Idealism, the author “brings out beautifully the implication of the notion of the Tathagatagarbha” in this volume.

About the Book
Indian music, perhaps world’s oldest, is full of beauties and mysteries. Unlike Western Music, Indian music is not written down.

About the Book
The Agama literature includes the Silpa-Sastra, which is basic to iconography. Worship dealt with I the Agama necessarily involves images which are worship-worthy. The rituals and sequences that are elaborated in the Agama books find relevance only in the context of an icon which is contained in a shrine. And icons are meaningful only in the context of shrines and worship. Agama texts are not easily accessible to the people. A large number of them are still available only in manuscripts, some of them which have been printed are only in their Sanskrit originals. There is need, therefore, to present relevant excerpts from them at least, to make the volumes on iconography more meaningful. Further, Indian temples are to be considered only in the general framework of temple culture, which include not only religious and philosophical aspects also. The volumes named Agama Encyclopaedia named Agama Encyclopaaedia deals with the temple-culture and Agama framework, the sectarian division of the Agama into Saiva, Vaisnava and Sakta, and the topics selected from the Agama texts follow. Thus, the entirety of the Agama, literature in so far as it is relevant to the temple-culture is brought within the scope of the Agama Encyclopaedia.

About the Book
Curiosity to know one’s future is both natural and universal; and therefore any method which attempts to unravel the mystery of the future has an attraction for the future has an Astrology, palmistry, numerology and various extrasensory processes which claim to predict the future have a popular appareal. An elementary knowledge of astronomy and a historical perspective are indispensable for a beginner. After going through the authoritative texts like Brihat Jataka, Brihat Parasara, Horasastra, Phaladipika etc., one arrives at the conclusion that the variables one has to tackle are far too many and the interpretations far too numerous and the task of integrating the diverse material is too complex. The subject requires deep study and one has to develop an insight and intuition to become a successful astrologer. The author has tried to present the essentials of Hindu Astrology with as objective an approach possible.

"The work by Laksmanadesika comprises twenty-five chapters. The commentator Ragahvabhatta states that of the 25 chapters of the Sarada-tilaka, chapters 1-24 correspond to the 24 tattvas of Samkhya Philosophy and the last one devoted to Yoga, show that Purusa of Samkhya is beyond Prakriti and Vikriti. The first chapter is Prakriti as it discusses creation. Chapters ii-xxiv deals with Prakriti-Vikriti. In this work, Siva is represented both as Saguna and Niguna according to how he is identified with Prakriti or differentiated from it. From Prakriti or Sakti arises Nada which gives rise to Bindu. The interesting features of this work are practices for subjugation of women, destruction of enemies and Tantras for malevolent purposes. Diksa, Purscarana and nyasa figures prominently in it chapters vii-xxii deals with the Mantras of Saraswati, Lakshmi, Bhuvneswari, Durga, Tripura, Ganesha and Candramas.

ISBN: 81-7030-832-1, Series: Sri Garib Dass Oriental Series No. 304
About the Book
Srividya is discipline where abounds considerable mystery, esotericism and occultism. There is among common people quite some ignorance concerning its philosophy and practice. There is also a host of doubts and uncertainties among practitioners themselves. The presence of different tradition in Srividya is a further source of confusion. The textual background to Srividya has almost become obscure and obsolete; it has become more a matter of individual lineages of practices. In the circumstances there is a need for an authentic and comprehensive account of all three aspects of Srividya, viz. The Yantra, The Mantra and The Tantra. This Book is an attempt to provide one. Along with all textual details concerning the philosophy and practice of Srividya, relevant iconographic details with illustrations have also been given.

5. Devi Gita : The Song of the Goddess : A Translation, Annotation and Commentary/ C. Mackenzi Brown, Rs. 400
ISBN: 81-7030-634-5, Series: Sri Garib Dass Oriental Series No. 249
About the Book
This book provides a translation, with introduction, Commentary, and annotation, of the medieval Hindu Sanskrit text the Devi Gita (Song of the Goddess). It is an important but not well-known text from the rich Sakta (Goddess) tradition of India. The Devi Gita was composed around the fifteenth century C.E., in partial initiation of the famous Bhagavad Gita (Song of the Lord), composed some fifteen centuries earlier. Around the sixth century C.E., following the rises of several male deities to prominence, a new theistic movement began in which the supreme being was envisioned as female, known as the Great Goddess (Maha-Devi). Appearing first as a violent and blood-loving deity, this Goddess gradually evolved into a more benign figure, a compassionate World-Mother and bestower of salvific wisdom. It is in this beneficent mode that the Goddess appears in the Devi Gita. This work makes available an up-to-date translation of the Devi Gita, along with a historical and theological analysis of the text. The book is divided into sections of verses, and each section is followed by a comment explaining key terms, concepts, ritual procedures, and mythic themes. The comments also offer comparisons with related schools of thought, indicate parallel texts and textual sources of verses in the Devi Gita, and briefly elucidate the historical and religious background, supplementing the remarks of the introduction.

7. Lives of the Nuns- Biographies of Chinese Buddhist Nuns from the Fourth to Sixth Centuries/ Trans. Kathryn Ann Tsai, Rs. 300
ISBN: 81-7030-465-2, Series: Bibliotheca Indo-Buddhica Series No. 162
About the Book
A millennium and a half ago some remarkable women cast aside the concerns of the world to devote their lives to Buddhism. Lives of the Nuns, a translation of the Pi-ch’iu-ni chuan, was compiled by Shih Pao-ch’and in or about A.D. 516 and covers exactly that period when Buddhist monasticism for women was first being established in china. Originally written to demonstrate the efficacy of Buddhist scripture in the lives of female monastic, the sixty-five biographies are now regarded as the best source of information about women’s participation in Buddhist monastic practice in premodern Chine. Among the stories of the Buddhist life well lived are entertaining tales that reveal the wit and intelligence of these women in the face of unsavory officials, highway robbers, even fawning barbarians. When Ching-ch’eng and a fellow nun, renowned for their piety and strict asceticism, are taken to “the capital of the northern barbarians” and piled with delicacies, the women “besmirch their own reputation” by gobbling down the food shamelessly. Appalled by their lack of manners, the disillusioned barbarians release the nuns, who return happily to their convent. Lives of the Nuns gives readers a glimpse into a world long vanished yet peopled with women and men who express the same aspirations and longing for spiritual enlightenment found at all times and in all places. Buddhologists, sinologists, historians, and those interested in religious studies and women’s studies will welcome this volume, which includes annotations for readers new to the field of Chinese Buddhist history as well as for the specialist.

ISBN: 81-7030-535-7, Series: Sri Garib Das Oriental Series No.219
About the Book
This book permits us to penetrate within one of the most ancient ascetic spirituality, that followed by some 6000 Jaina women ascetics. Written with their collaboration, it presents to the reader their life of radical renunciation of which one of the hallmarks is incessant pilgrimage, a regular shifting from one place to the next in a sustained striving towards self-purification, a striving of which the final goal is Nirvana. Here then we have before us the whole Jaina tradition, presented through scriptures, ancient texts, biographies, epigraphy and iconography. Here too we may observe its outworking in contemporary daily life and its contribution to inter-cultural and inter-monastic encounter. Furthermore, it is not without interest that this study finds its own proper place in an age which is rediscovering feminine values. At a time when so many people are taking a deep interest in Asian spiritualities we find here an original and strictly defined spiritual path and also a spiritual teaching whose strength and subtlety merit our attention and invites us to embark on an authentic spiritual journey.

8. Mudras - Yoga in Your Hands/ Gertrud Hirschi, Rs. 195
9. On Being Mindless- Buddhist Meditation and the Mind Bodhy Problem/ Paul J. Griffiths, Rs. 450
ISBN: 81-7030-606-X, Series: Bibliotheca Indo-Buddhica Series No.196
About the Book
Indian Buddhist philosophers say that it is possible to achieve, by specific meditational techniques, a distinctive ‘altered state’ which they call ‘the attainment of cessation’. In this state, the stream of mental events is temporarily brought to a complete halt: the practitioner becomes mindless. The possibility and desirability of such an altered state was extensively discussed by Buddhist thinkers in India. In these discussions, they were compelled to consider the causal connections between the mental and the physical, and thus to clarify their positions on what in the west has usually been called the mind-body problem. On Being Mindless presents these discussions to an English speaking readership for the first time, including analysis and translation of texts not previously available in English and, in some cases, of material not available in any Western language. Opposing fashionably relativistic approaches to non-Western philosophical traditions, Paul Griffiths critically comments upon the analyses of mindlessness given by Buddhist thinkers. He maintains that “the functions, nature, and limits of rationality are conceived similarly in all cultures” and rejects” that humility which, all too often in those Western academic circles where the study of Buddhist thought is carried on, refuses to take its material with philosophical seriousness”. On Being Mindless is a study in cross-cultural philosophy which should do much to increase awareness among Western scholars of the precision and subtlety of India Philosophical thinking. It may also encourage Western philosophers to look beyond the barriers of their own culture and language for serious philosophical analysis.

16. Yoga- A Study of the Mystical Philosophy of the Brahmins and Buddhists/ J.F.C. Fuller, Rs. 150
ISBN: 81-7030-138-6, Series: Sri Garib das Oriental Series No. 63
From the preface:
"Much has been written about Yoga ever since the Theosophists "discovered" spiritual India, and not a little of a very uninformed nature which, in place of elucidating a complex mental science, has either perplexed the student or rendered the whole subject ridiculous. In this book it is my intention to abide by facts and simultaneously introduce sufficient cross references to other mystical systems, such as western magic and the Qabalah, to show that Yoga is one of a series of means of deliverance from worldly illusions. All these systems are closely related; for, in one sense, they and many others, such as Christian mysticism, Quietism, Buddhism, Taoism and Sufism, are spiritual languages the words of which differ in sound but the meanings of which are identical."

Defining The Image: Measurements in Image Making/ Charles Willemen , Rs. 200
Table of Contents:
Introduction; The Sanskrit Pratimalaksana: Translation, Sanskrit; The Chinese Pratimalaksana: Translation, Chinese; Glossary: Chinese- Sanskrit- English, Sanskrit- Chinese- English; Bibliography: Abbreviations.
ISBN: 81-7030-842-9, First Edition: Delhi, 2006, Pages: 103
In the applied arts of India iconometery, talamana, the knowledge of the measurements and the proportions of images, has an old tradition, not entirely different from the Greek and the Renaissance tradition.Ever since B.Laufer's study about the Citralaksana in 1913 the subject has raised new interest among artists and scholars alike. The Indian Buddhist Pratimalaksana, which is edited in transcription and translated into English here, may date from the 10th century, anyway before Atisa (died 1054) . The Tibetan translation was made by the Tibetan Grags-pargyal-mtshan (ca. 1285-1378) and the Indian Dharmadhara, in souther Tibet before 1322, date of Bu-ston's catalogue. The text most probably belongs to the Mulasarvastivada tradition. The Chinese translation is the work of the Mongolian aristocrat mGon-po skyabs, Gongbu Chabu in Chinese ( ca. 1690-1750) , The text was brought out in 1742 at Qianlong's court in Beijing. mGon-po skyabs translated the Tibetan text in Chinese , and he added a commentary using Tibetan Literature, Thge Chinese text in this volume is based on the Japanese edition T. 1419, but the stanzas are numbered, and the commentary in prose is separated from the main text. Illustrations have been added. The glossaries at the end will help further more research, it is hoped. The Chinese Translation of Sanskrit words is often very useful to know the exact meaning of a term, in both languages

1. Aksayanivi-Essays Presented to Dr.Debala Mitra in Admiration of fer Scholarly Contributions/ Ed.Gouriswar Bhattacharya. Rs. 3000
ISBN 81-7030-275-7
About the Book
"This volume is meant to honour an outstanding scholar and an efficient Director General of the Archaeological Survey of India, Dr. Debala Mitra, who has drawn admiration from her various colleagues, both Indian and foreign. These scholars have contributed valuable articles in appreciation of her careful and learned contributions. Dr. Debala Mitra was both a serious academician and an indefatigable worker as an archaeologist. As a Buddhist scholar she is renowned for her volumnous works and as a field worker she is credited with several important excavations. But what makes her so loving and admirable to the scholarly world is her humbleness. And in that respect she represents undoubtedly the traditional Indian concept of a scholarly personality, viz. bhavanti namras taravah phalagame, the trees bow down (only) due to the weight of fruits. Dr. Mitra has retired from her official career but not from her educational pursuits. This volume contains writings on various topics of Indian archaeology starting from the pre-historic Mohen-Jo-Daro upto the late medieval period. As Mitra herself is a scholar embracing a wide field of Indology so a host of scholars have contributed to various topics on Indian art and archaeology belonging to a long period and wide area. As she was also engaged in the field work of excavation and in the study of art in Nepal, this volume contains three articles on the art and architecture of Nepal. We thank all our friends and scholars who share our feelings in congratulating Dr. Debala Mitra on her sixty-fifth birthday." (jacket)

3. Buddhist Iconometry - The Bimbamana of Gautamisastra as Heard By Sariputra/ Ed. & Tr. into English By E.W Marasinghe. Rs. 120
ISBN: 81-7030-417-2, Series: Bibliotheca Indo-Buddhica Series No. 138
About the Book
The Bimbamana (popularly called Sariputra), an eleventh century Sanskrit silpa text on Buddhist iconometry, provides the most detailed treatment of the uttam-dasa-tala system pertaining to standing, sedent and recumbent Buddha images. All the available palmleaf manuscript copies of this work (numbering over fifteen) are from Sri Lanka which is most probably the country of its origin. Unlike the Manjusribhasita-vastuvidyasastra, another Sri Lankan silpa text which is boldly Mahayai in character, the Bimbamana appears to have been composed taking into consideration the Theravadic susceptibilities of the Sri Lankan Buddhist. This speaks for its wide popularity among the Sinhala craftsmen up to the present day. The text has been critically edited together with an English translation which is copiously annotated for the benefit of the lay reader.

5. Citrakarmasastra ascribed to Manjusri/ E.W. Marasinghe, Vol. 2, Rs. 350
ISBN: 81-7030-252-8, Series: Bibliotheca Indo-Buddhica Series No. 81
About the Book
The Citrakarmasastra covers the second half of the ancient Sanskrit silpa text Vastuvidyasastra devoted to Mahayanic monastic architecture and the art of image-modeling. The first half of the text dealing with monastic architecture was published with an introduction and an Englishtranslation in 1989 by Sri Satguru Publications as No. 67 of their Bibliotheca Indo-Buddhica Series. The present volume presents a very methodical treatment of the subjects of Buddhist iconometry, iconography and modelling clay images for the image-house of a Buddhist monastery. In its fifteen chapters the work discusses all aspects of image-modelling from the selection of trees for the preparation f the wooden image-core to the painting of the eyes, finishing touch given to a newly made image. An image is viewed as a close limitation of the human body. It is, therefore, endowed with all essential components of the human body such as the skeleton, nerves, arteries and veins, flesh, skin and complexion in the form of the image – core, astabandha glue, clay, limestone paste and pigments. All these are dealt with in successive chapters in fair detail. Particularly interesting are the sections on the arrangement of statues inside the image-house, construction of the image-core, Buddhist iconography and the rituals connected with the eye-opening ceremony. The Citrakumasastra thus happens to be the only comprehensive work so far discovered, which deals with the ancient art of modeling of clay images of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, and together with its companion volume on monastic architecture, claims to be the most important treatise on the ancient Buddhist art of the Mahayana School.

ISBN: 81-7030-765-1, Series: Sri Garib Das Oriental Series No. 275, 276, 277
About the Book
The present publication, Encyclopaedia of Indian Iconography, is intended to focus attention on the traditional details concerning images and their worship. The details given in these volumes are taken entirely from the traditional texts of Agama and Silpa-sastra, like Brhatsamhita, Manasara, Kasyapa-silpa, Isana-siva-guru-deva-paddhati, Silpa-ratna, Padma-samhita, Hayasirsa-samhita,Vaikhanasagama and Rupa-mandana. The entries include not only the gods and goddesses of popular so-called Hinduism, but also the divinities of Jaina (both Digambara and Svetambara divisions) and Buddhist (Mahayana) religions. The deities worshipped in Nepal and Tibet are also included. Sadhana-mala has been used for descriptions of Buddhist deities, and Rupa-mandana for Jaina deities. Most of the entries are illustrated by line-drawings of images in temples, monasteries, basadis and in museums. Topics of peripheral interest (like temple-construction, image-making worship rituals and Agama divisions) have also been included here. The volumes follow the Sanskrit alphabetical order (akaradi) to facilitate translation into Indian languages. The first volume begins with the words beginning with vowels in Sanskrit alphabet. Followed with mute consonants and the rest of the consonants in the subsequent volumes. Among various and synonymous names of the deties, the better known ones have been selected for entry, while cross-references also have been indicated. Wherever necessary, background stories for particular iconographical representations have been given.

13. First Collections of Tibetan Historical Inscriptions on Rock and Stone From Ladakh Himalaya/ A.H.Franke, Prem Singh Jina, Rs. 500
ISBN: 81-7030-766-X
About the Book
A.H. Francke termed Ladakh as Western Tibet. In 1905 he collected 89 inscriptions, compiled then under the title ‘First Collection of Tibet Historical Inscriptions on Rock and Stone from West Tibet.’ I got this manuscripts in 1983 and thought to do further research on it. Francke written preface and dated the inscriptions in German language. Therefore, till 2000, I was unable to translate the German portion in English. However, with the German Embassy’s kind co-operation the translation work was done in the end of 2000. This year when my publisher Sri Satguru publication was ready to publish the same. I decided to complete this work. Since the manuscript was very old and was even difficult to understand the collected inscriptions, Francke also admitted this. I feel these inscriptions have historical importance, therefore, I made all possible efforts to translate them correctly. Francke endeavoured to arrange the inscriptions in a systematic order since 800 A.D. to 1902. Thus this manuscript now a historical document of scientific study. Which reflects the complete history of Ladakh kings regine. The present book has many inscriptions related with Buddhism and in the interest of Ladakh history I do not feel to explain them is details. However, historical facts being considered. I prefer to give the name of this book ‘First Collection of Tibetan Historical Inscriptions on Rock and Stone from Ladakh Himalaya. I hope this work will be useful for teachers and students who are interested on Ladakh studies.

15. Iconographic Dictionary of Indian Religions Hinduism-Buddhism-Jainism/ Gosta Liebert, Rs. 750
ISBN: 81-7030-098-3
About the Book
Ever since the publication of the first edition of Edward Moor’s "The Hindu Pantheon" in 1810 iconography and mythology have been important branches of Indology. In numerous books and articles both received considerable attention in the past. In the course of time several works appeared in which the published material dealing with mythology was summarized in the form of dictionaries. So far, a similar manual for iconography was, however, not yet available. Professor Liebert’s "Iconographic Dictionary of the Indian Religions", which brings together an enormous amount of material hidden away in countless books and articles, will therefore be welcomed warmly by many scholars working in this branch of Indology, for it fills a long-felt gap in the existing literature dealing with Indian iconography. In addition we owe the author a debt of gratitude for the numerous useful references to existing publications on specific subjects............

From the beginning of modern indological research, the dates of the Buddha have been recognized as having crucial importance for early Indian history. A symposium on "the date of the historical Buddha and the importance of its determination for historiography and world history" was convened under the auspices of the academy of science in Gottingen, Germany. The present volume represents an updated survey of the state of research in this field which is based largely on the results achieved at this symposium and incorporates some more recent investigations. The present volume concentrates mainly on those aspects which are directly relevant for the reconstruction of the early history of Buddhist chronology as well as for the understanding of related developments in India, in Sri Lanka, and in the countries of southeast Asian Theravada tradition. The volume contains papers by Heinz Bechert, Siglinde Dietz, Jens-Uwe Hartmann, Gustav Roth, Heinz Braun, Hajime Nakamura, Herbert Hartel, Hermann Kulke, Georg von Simson, Adelheid Mette, Oskar von Hinuber, Wilhelm Halbfass, Andre Bareau Heinrich von Steitencron, Cornelia Mallebrein, Petra-Kieffer-Pulz, Gunter Gronbold, Claus Vogel, Herbert Franke, and Klaus Rohrborn. The volume contains an exhaustive bibliography.
