LAND OF THE GODS: THE STORY OF HARYANA
An ambitious book that engages with a region and people who have defined the subcontinent for over five millennia.
The great war of right versus wrong was fought here. It was from this land that Lord Krishna’s wisdom—the universal truth—spread across the globe. It is the cradle of the ancient Indus-Saraswati civilization, with the sacred river Saraswati, glorified in the Rig Veda, flowing in its full might across the plains and onward.
Kings and emperors used this place to expand and consolidate their empires. The East India Company, and later the British Crown, played their games here, manipulating and managing their colonial affairs. The much-ridiculed ‘Aaya Ram, Gaya Ram’ political epithet originated here. This land gave the nation a number of stalwarts of the Independence movement. And, it became the address for a cocktail of regional and national political manoeuvrings, impacting national politics in major ways.
In his debut book, Land of the Gods: The Story of Haryana, Arjun Singh Kadian takes the readers through a fascinating journey of Haryana which offers new insights and delightful nuggets.SKU: n/a -

Linga Purana English Set of 2

The Puranas in the Indian Religious context are considered to be the important set of the religious literature, after the Vedic literature totally became beyond the reach of the common man. The void thus created in the Indian religious thought was filled by the epics of the Ramayai3a of Valmiki as well as the Mahabharata. But besides these, the Puranas which were composed by the sage Vyasa and other sages gained the importance of their own. Some of them were devoted to Visnu, while others were devoted to Siva, Sakti as well as the other deities. Of these, Siva Purana and the Linga Purana are mainly the Saiva Puranas. In these Puranas, lord Siva is eulogised in different ways and both of them have their own importance.
The distinctive aspect of the Linga Purana is that thousand and eight names of Siva have been repeated twice in this Purana. In Chapter-65, the thousand and eight names have been spoken out by the sage Tandin, while in chapter-98 of the same Purana, the thousand and eight names of Siva were recited by lord Visnu himself in order to get cakra from lord Siva, at the behest of the gods. Besides these, there are many other topics in this Purai3a, which will be of great interest to the readers. This Purana is divided into two parts. The first part has a hundred and eight chapters, while the second part has fifty five chapters.
This is for the first time that an English translation of Linga Purana is being published along with complete Sanskrit text. The importance of the book is enhanced with an exhaustive introduction on the subject and an index of verses is provided at the end of the second volume for the benefit of the readers.

Abrahamic religions (अब्राहमिक मजहब), English Books, Govindram Hasanand Prakashan, इतिहासMajor (80%) Role of Arya Samaj in Freedom Strugle of Bharat
Major (80%) Role was played by the members of Arya Samaj movement for the independence of Bharatvarsh from the British rule.This book is dedicated to those brave soldiers of Arya Samaj, who followed the foot prints of founder of Arya Samaj Maharishi Dayanand Saraswati.These men and women members of Arya Samaj of that time, sacrificed their lives, their livelihood, suffered the tortures of various jails including Cellular jail ( Kala Pani jail) in Andman island instead of comforts of their family homes. They did not worry about the welfare of their loved ones after they had gone.No country can achieve anything like independence, without the massive support of their citizens. Indian National Congress party, All-India Muslim League and others made for the remaining 20%. But minorities (20%) seem to take full credit of Independence of Bharat with no mention of majority (80%) participants of Arya Samaj movement. How unfair?We have collected all the available facts, available till now to prove the majority role played by Arya Samaj.We sincerely request the present Government of Bharat to give long over due recognition of this true fact and oblige members of the Arya Samaj movement.Is it too much to ask for? -Narendra Kumar

MENSTRUATION ACROSS CULTURES : THE SABARIMALA CONFUSION – A HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE
-11%English Books, Suggested Books, Vitasta Publishing, सनातन हिंदू जीवन और दर्शन, सही आख्यान (True narrative)MENSTRUATION ACROSS CULTURES : THE SABARIMALA CONFUSION – A HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE
Menstruation across Cultures attempts to provide a detailed review of menstruation notions prevalent in India and in cultures from across the world. The world cultures covered in the book include Indic traditions like Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism; ancient civilisations like Greece, Rome, Mesopotamia and Egypt; and Abrahamic religions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Two themes of special focus in the book are: Impurity and Sacrality. While they are often understood as being opposed to each other, the book examines how they are treated as two sides of the same coin, when it comes to menstruation. This is especially true in Indic traditions and pre-Christian polytheistic traditions like Greco-Roman, Mesopotamian and Egyptian. Impurity and Sacrality complement each other to form a comprehensive worldview in these cultures. The book also examines how the understanding of impurity in Abrahamic religions differs from those of polytheistic cultures. As part of the examination of the sacrality attached to menstruation, a special focus has also been given to the deities of menstruation in polytheistic cultures and to what Ayurveda and Yoga say about this essential function in a woman’s physiology. Finally, a comparative study of menstrual notions prevalent in modernity is presented, along with a Do and Don’t dossier.

Abrahamic religions (अब्राहमिक मजहब), English Books, Suggested Books, Voice of India, इतिहास, सही आख्यान (True narrative)Mohammed and the rise of Islam
Marligoliouth was a great linguist and scholar and was for a long time a professor of Arabic at the Univ. of Oxford. The spiritual equipage of Islam and Christianity is similar; their spiritual contents, both in quality and quantum, are about the same. The central piece of the two creeds is “one true God” of masculine gender who makes himself known to his believers through an equally single, favoured individual. The whole prophetic spirituality in both is mediumistic in essence. Here everything takes place through a proxy, through an intermediary. The proxy is the favoured individual, a privileged mediator…Hitherto we have looked on Hinduism through the eyes of Islam and Christianity. Let us know learn to look at these ideologies from the vantage point of Hindu spirituality- they are no more than ideologies, lacking as they are in the integrality and inwardness of true religion and spirituality. Such an exercise would also throw light on the self-destructiveness of the modern ideologies of Communism and Imperialism, inheritors of the prophetic mission or “burden”, in its secularized version, of Christianity and Islam. The perspective gained will be great corrective and will add a new liberating dimension; it will help not only India and Hinduism but the whole world.

Muslim League Attack On Sikhs And Hindus In The Punjab 1947 (PB)
English Books, Voice of India, इतिहास, सही आख्यान (True narrative)Muslim League Attack On Sikhs And Hindus In The Punjab 1947 (PB)
The volume in hand is a reprint of an old book compiled in 1947) by Sardar Gurbachan Singh Talib, Principal of the Lyallpur Khalsa College, Jullundur, and published in 1950 by the Shiromani Gurudwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC). It records the story of 7-mil-lion Hindus and Sikhs who were uprooted from their homes in the West Punjab, the North-Western Frontier, Sind and parts of Kashmir. It tells the story of political parleys that preceded this event, their inevitable failure, and the barbarity that immediately followed -barbarity that had elements of pre-planning. The book records the atrocities of this period – the carnage, killings, abductions and forced conversions that took place particularly in 1946-47, forcing Hindus and Sikhs to leave their hearths and homes and start on the “biggest mass migration of humanity,” as the author describes it.
At the end of the book, the author gives an Appendix, 100 pages of about 50 eye-witness accounts of those atrocities. It contains statements of those who saw themselves attacked, their houses burnt, their kith and kin killed, their womenfolk abducted but who themselves survived to relate their account. The section also includes press reports and other first-hand accounts. For example, one report which appeared in The Statesman of April 15, 1947 narrates an event that took place in village Thoha Khalsa of Rawalpindi District. It is a story of tears and shame and also of great sacrifice and heroism. The story tells us how the Hindu-Sikh population of this tiny village was attacked by 3000-strong armed Muslims, how badly outweaponed and outnumbered, the besieged had to surrender, but how their women numbering 90 in order to “evade inglorious surrender” and save their honour jumped into a well “following the example of Indian women of by-gone days.” Only three of them were saved. “There was not enough water in the well to drown them all,” the report adds. The author also gives an 85-page long “list of atrocities,” date by date and region by region, that took place during the months from mid-December 1946 to the end of August 1947 And these represent only “a small fraction of what really happened,” and they have to be multiplied “a hundred-fold or more…to get the right proportions,” the author says.SKU: n/a -
