The Ultimate Goal
In The Ultimate Goal, Vikram Sood, former chief of Indias external intelligence agency, the Research and Analysis Wing (RandAW), explains the narrative and how a countrys ability to construct, sustain and control narratives, at home and abroad, enhances its strength and position. Intelligence agencies invariably play a critical role in this, an often-indispensable tool of statecraft. A narrative may not necessarily be based on truth, but it does need to be plausible, have a meaning and create a desired perception. During most of the twentieth century, intelligence agencies helped shape narratives favourable to their countries agendas through literature, history, drama, art, music and cinema. Today, social media has become crucial to manipulating, countering or disrupting narratives, with its ability to spread fake news disinformation, and provoke reactions.

The Walking Brahmin
In 1857, Vishnubhat Godse and his uncle Rambhat, unwittingly walked smack in the middle of The First War of Indian Independence. Having the misfortune of being at the wrong place at the wrong time, the duo were caught in the crossfire between the loyalist Indian troops and the British. They witnessed the fall of Jhansi first hand, survived the aftermath of British savagery, were robbed of all their belongings multiple times, and even managed to avoid getting hanged. Twice. Being on the road for two years, they finally returned to Varsai village, near Pen, Maharashtra. Back home, Vishnubhat penned down his adventure for his descendants which was eventually published as a Marathi book in 1907.

The word as revelation: names of Gods
There are two opposing views about language, both advanced by distinguished thinkers. One view holds that a language is external to objects and thoughts; the other view regards it as fundamental to them. In what sense or senses are these views true? Can they be reconciled? Language has not merely expressed man’s fears; it has also expressed his sense of mystery. Again and again, man has sung of Gods and Divine Life and his idea of the Good and the Beautiful in sublime speech. This sublime speech, these inspired words, he has treasured as his veritable heritage, his Vedas. But in the passage of time, man’s’ thought-habits and speech-mores change and the inspired words become difficult to understand. Can a study of language help us to recapture the meanings of older scriptures? Can this study help us to understand the deeper life of man, his vision of God and the Good? Can this study throw some light on religious consciousness in general and the cherished old scriptures in particular? For example, can we understand the mentality of the seers of the Vedas–humanity’s oldest extant scripture–by studying their language? Or can we understand the import of their language by entering into the state of their mind? The book studies human speech in its relation to man’s deeper psyche and religious consciousness. It adds a new dimension to the science of Semantics by showing how physical meanings of a word become sensuous meanings, become concepts and ideas, become names of the powers of the psyche, become Names of Gods, depending upon the organ of mind–indriya, manas, buddhi, — which is using that word as also on the level of purity-bhumi–of the organ concerned.

Theory and Practice of Muslim State in India
The theory part is traced to the Quran, the Hadis and the Sunnah of the Prophet; the practice part to the principal activities of Muslim rulers in India as narrated by their chroniclers. Muslim state in India has not ceased to exist even in modern times and Indian Muslims on account of Islamic laws and separate identity almost form a separate state within the Indian State.

बौद्ध इस स्थान को ‘शम्भाला’ कहते हैं। तिब्बत के लामाओं द्वारा निदेर्शित / संचालित सामान्य मानवीय ज्ञान, अनुभव, तर्क, समझ से परे भावातीत, लोकोत्तर इस शान्तिदायक घाटी को पश्चिम में ‘शांग्री-ला’ के नाम से जाना जाता है। भारतीयों के लिए यह ज्ञानपीठ ‘ज्ञानगंज’ है-अनश्वर, शाश्वत, अमर सत्ता (लोगों) की रहस्मयात्मक, अद्भुत, आश्चर्यजनक आध्यात्मिक दुनिया।
श्रीमत् शंकर स्वामीजी द्वारा प्रस्तुत यह पुस्तक अपने आप में अतुलनीय, अनुपम, अद्वितीय है क्योंकि आज तक अनेकानेक आध्यात्मिक महात्माओं ने इस अद्भुत स्थान का भ्रमण किया है किन्तु किसी ने भी अपने भ्रमणोपरान्त अनुभव के आधार पर ऐसा विलक्षण यात्रावृत्तान्त नहीं लिखा जैसा श्रीमत् शंकर स्वामी जी ने लिखकर इस पुस्तक के रूप प्रस्तुत किया है। यह पुस्तक ‘ज्ञानगंज’ व तत्सम्बन्धी योग पर जिज्ञासु पाठकों की अतृप्त जिज्ञासा को किंचित् शान्त कर सकेगी।‘अलौकिक’, इस शब्द का अर्थ तो बहुत से लोग जानते होंगे, लेकिन ऐसे लोग बिरले ही होंगे, जिन्होंने इसे अनुभव किया हो। इस जगत् में ऐसे व्यक्तियों की संख्या भी कम होगी, जो अलौकिक शब्द की गूढ़ता और उसके रहस्य को अनुभव न करना चाहते हो। उत्तराखण्ड के वारणावत शिखरधाम स्थित आश्रम के महाराज श्रीमत् शंकर स्वामी महाराज ने अपनी इस पुस्तक में कई बार इस बात का उल्लेख किया है कि उन्होंने अस्वाभाविक परिस्थितयों में अपनी चेतना को विलुप्त होता पाया। चेतना तभी लौटी, जब वे उन परिस्थितयों से बाहर आ चुके थे। अपने साथ घटित घटनाओं को जब उन्होंने शब्दों में पिरोना शुरू किया तो उनके अन्तर्मन के वे भाव भी मानों साकार होते चले गये, जिन्हें उन्होंने ज्ञानपीठ ज्ञानगंज की सम्पूर्ण यात्रा के दौरान अनुभव किया था। यही वजह है कि शान्त और गहन वातावरण में गम्भीरतापूर्वक इस पुस्तक का अध्ययन करने पर हमारे अन्तर्मन में वे शब्द उतरने लगते है और उनमें निहित अलौकिकता का आभास दे जाते है।
जो भी व्यक्ति अलौकिक जगत् के प्रभाव, उनके एहसास का अनुभव करना चाहते है, उन्हें श्रीमत् शंकर महाराज की इस पुस्तक का अध्ययन, मनन-चिन्तन अवश्य करना चाहिए। महाराज ने वही लिखा है, जो उनके साथ घटित हुआ है, जिसे उन्होंने अनुभव किया है, यही कारण है कि उनका लेखन पढ़ने के दौरान हमारी आँखों के सामने चलचित्र सा दिखलाई पड़ता है। लगता है कि हम पुस्तक नहीं पढ़ रहे हैं, पुस्तक में वर्णित घटनाओं में प्रवेश कर रहे हैं।
यह ग्रन्थ स्वनामधन्य शंकर स्वामी की तिब्बत यात्रा का एक आभास मात्र कहा जा सकता है। उनकी यह यात्रा ऐसी अलौकिक तथा रहस्यमयी रही है, जिस पर सामान्य बुद्धि हठात् विश्वास नहीं कर सकती, तथापि जो तत्त्ववेत्ता हैं तथा रहस्यमयी घटनाओं से दो-चार हो चुके है, उनकी विमल प्रज्ञा में ऐसी घटनायें प्रकृति की ही एक लीला के रूप में मान्य एवं विश्वस्त रूप से प्रकट होती रहती है। उनको इस सम्बन्ध में कोई आश्चर्य तथा संशय का तनिक भी आभास नहीं होता। युग-युगान्तर से यह सब होता चला आया है, आगे भी होता रहेगा। प्रकृति की अनन्त क्रीड़ा में प्रतिक्षण ऐसे विस्मय तथा आश्चर्य का उन्मेष होता रहता है। इनको संशयात्मक दृष्टिकोण से न देख कर अनुसंधान तथा विज्ञान के अन्वेषक के रूप में देखना उचित होगा।प्रस्तुत पुस्तक में तिब्बत के रहस्यमय मठ ज्ञानगंज का वर्णन है। इस सम्बन्ध में किंचित् प्रकाश प्रक्षेपण मैंने अपने ग्रन्थ ‘रहस्मयमय सिद्धभूमि तथा सूर्यविज्ञान’ में किया था, तथापि वह सुनी-सुनाई तथा यत्र-तत्र से संकलित बातों पर आधारित था। यह पुस्तक पूर्णत: ‘आंखिन की देखी’ पर आधारित यथार्थपरक है। इस ज्ञानगंज के सम्बन्ध में पूज्य गुरुदेव महामहोपाध्याय डा. गोपीनाथ जी कविराज से मैंने सुना था।
पूज्य स्वामी जी द्वारा वर्णित ज्ञानगंज कोई कपोल कल्पना नहीं है। वह यथार्थ तथा प्रामाणिक स्थल है, जिसका प्रत्यक्ष दर्शन करके पूज्य स्वामीजी ने इस पुस्तक के रूप में वहाँ का घटनाक्रम जनसाधारण हेतु प्रस्तुति किया है। यह श्लाघनीय प्रयत्न स्तुत्य भी है।SKU: n/a -

कथा-सार— एक अति अविश्वसनीय आश्चर्य। एक हजार साल तक सर्पणी की काया में रहने के बाद एक नागिन का कायाकल्प और वह भी एक सुन्दर युवती के रूप में! सहज ही विश्वास नहींं हो रहा था मुझको। —नागमोहिनी विद्या कापालिक ने मोहनचन्द के जन्म के समय ही वचन दिया कि उसकी रक्षा करेगा। उसी मोहनचन्द की सौतेली माँ ने हत्या करवा दी। इतना ही नहीं उसके आदेश पर मोहनचन्द का शव चिता पर रख कर आग भी लगा दी गयी। लेकिन थोड़ी ही देर बाद देखा गया तो शव चिता पर से गायब था। आखिर क्या हो गया। — कापालिक अद्भुत शक्ति थी उस माला में गुंथी मूर्ति में। वह आगामी घटनाओं के बारे में पहले ही स्वप्न में सूचना दे देती थी। उसकी शक्ति से क्या से क्या हो गया? लेकिन सफलता के मद में एक ऐसी भूल हो गयी जिसने सब कुछ उलट-पुलट दिया। —चमत्कारी मूर्ति क्या मैं तुमसे एक बात पूछ सकता हूँ? मैंने कहा। पूछिये। पाखी ने जवाब दिया। क्या तुम सचमुच में डायन हो? तुम्हें लोग जादूगरनी कहते हैं। क्या यह बात सच है? —क्या वह डायन थी? प्रतिमा के ठीक सामने एक बड़ा-सा त्रिकोण हवन कुण्ड बना था। जिसमें अग्नि प्रज्जवलित थी। कुण्ड के चारों तरफ बैठे हुए भयानक शक्ल के कापालिकों के होंठ इस प्रकार हिल रहे थे, जैसे वे कोई मंत्र पढ़ रहे हों। —तिब्बत का वह रहस्यमय मठ पालकी का रेशमी पर्दा धीरे से हटा। उसमें से एक युवती बाहर निकली। उसकी उम्र अठारह वर्ष से अधिक नहीं थी। अङ्क्षनद्य सुन्दरी थी वह—सुगठित देह चम्पई रंग, पुष्ट उन्नत वक्ष, नितम्बों तक लहराती काली घनी केशराशि, मोर जैसी आँखें, अनार के फूल जैसे कोमल लाल होंठ। —तिब्बत का वह रहस्यमय मठ

Time for Stock Taking: Whither Sangh Parivar?
Voice of India, इतिहास, राजनीति, पत्रकारिता और समाजशास्त्र, सही आख्यान (True narrative)Time for Stock Taking: Whither Sangh Parivar?
A study of Hindu-Muslim relations since the foundation of the Indian National Congress in 1885 tells us that Muslims have been making demands – ideological, political, territorial – and Hindus conceding them all along. Yet the Muslim problem remains with us in as acute a form as ever. With the advent of petro-dollars and the emergence of V.P. Singh, Laloo Prasad, Mulayam Singh and Kanshi Ram On the political scene, Muslims have become as aggressive and intransigent as in the pre-Partition period. It has become a habit with Hindu leaders to take Hindus for granted and bargain with Muslims on the latter’s terms. Leaders of the Indian National Congress have taken Hindus for granted from 1885 till today. Now leaders of the Sangh Parivar look like following the same path. Hindus have to decide as to how long they are going to be taken for granted. ‘Contrary to certain impressions created in the media,’ observes Koenraad Elst, ‘the BJS-BJP and RSS leaders have a heartfelt desire to woo the Muslims. The present official position of the RSS (and a fortiori of the BJP) is, more than ever, that Islam itself is quite alright, only fundamentalism is wrong. Even the well-known secularist theory that the Hindu-Muslim conflict was merely a concoction of the wily British colonizers is often repeated in RSS publications, sometimes with the addition that Congress and other secularist parties have now assumed the divisive role which the British once played. In every case, the role of the intrinsic hostility which Islam itself preaches and practices against ‘idolatry’ is down-played or kept out of the picture.’ ‘It is hard to conceive of a situation,’ he continues, ‘where a society is vexed and tortured by a persistent enemy, then generates a millions-strong organization pledged to the defense of this society, and yet this organization, this boastful ‘vanguard’, fails to produce even the most sketchy analysis of the motives and methods of this enemy. Only Hindus could fare this badly. Fifty years after the Partition, twenty-six years after the East Bengal genocide, there are still Hindus singing mendacious refrains like Ram Rahim Ek Hai and ‘equal truth of all Religions, because their supposed leaders have never bothered to inform them. A large part of the reason is to be found in specific choices made by the Sangh leadership, most of all choose to seek secular respectability by means of appeasement policies including flattery of Mohammed and Islam’ (Bharatiya Janata Party vis-a-vis Hindu Resurgence). This compilation shows that in its flurry for forming a government at the Centre, the Sangh leadership has fallen back on policies pursued by the Indian National Congress under the leadership of Mahatma Gandhi who harbored a lifelong illusion that he could move the Muslim Indians into the national mainstream by flattering Islam. The Mahatma ended by becoming the Father of Pakistan, and a shahid in the service of his mindless slogan – sarva-dharma-samabhava. We wonder where the Sangh leadership will land whatever has survived of Hindu society and culture in a shrunken and shrinking Hindu homeland. Hindu intelligentsia has to come forward and stop it from taking the Hindu masses for another ride.

The nullification of Article 370 and enactment of the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA), 2019, had been landmark legislative actions in 2019. Author Sanjay Dixit delves deep into the past and traces the events, actions and their repercussions that finally led to the Union of India introducing these two measures. He looks at these events from all perspectives-historical, social and political. For Article 370, he traces the entire history of Kashmir from its pre-Islamic past and to the events that unfolded at the time of the Partition of India, leading to the initial inclusion of Article 370 in the Constitution of India. Dixit also studies in detail the legal and constitutional labyrinths, discussing the various Presidential Orders and case laws from the Constitutional Bench jurisdiction of the Supreme Court. For CAA, Dixit traces the constitutional history of India from the time of the partition of Bengal in 1905 to the unfortunate events of the Partition in 1947. His study relies heavily on Dr. B.R. Ambedkar’s analysis of the reasons for the Partition and the theology of a ‘separate nation’ that prevailed during the period. The author contends that this same theology has been staging a comeback now in the form of mazhabi pehchan which forms the crux of the anti-CAA protests. The informed position of the author, his lucidity of language and directness of approach lend clarity to his arguments and make this an accessible and important read.

Abrahamic religions (अब्राहमिक मजहब), English Books, Suggested Books, Voice of India, जीवनी/आत्मकथा/संस्मरण, सही आख्यान (True narrative)Understanding Islam through Hadis
The book is a thorough study of Islam, doctrinal and creedal materials, besides its social, penal, commercial, ritualistic, and ceremonial matters.; Ram Swarup (1919-1998) graduated from the University of Delhi in 1941 and had been an original writer and thinker ever since. He participated in his country’s struggle for independence, courting imprisonment. For some years, he was a close associate of British-born Mira Behn (Miss Slade), Mahatma Gandhi’s adopted daughter. In the fifties, he led a movement warning against the growing danger which international communism presented to the newly won freedom of the country. Around 1957, he took to a life of meditation and spiritual reflection, and since then he had made a deep study of the scriptures of different religious traditions. Ram Swarup was a noted writer in many fields. His previous books and brochures include Communism and Peasantry: Implications of Collectivist Agriculture of Asian Countries, Foundations of Maoism, and Buddhism vis-a-vis Hinduism. His Gandhism and Communism stressed the need to raise the struggle against communism from a military to a moral and ideological level. The brochure caught the attention of several US Congressmen, and some of its ideas were adopted by the Eisenhower administration in its agenda for the Geneva Conference in 1955. His Gandhian Economics, small but seminal, shows that the present industrial production system suffers from circularity, a deep internal technological contradiction-coal, and iron, and a hundred other commodities symbolized by them, producing and consuming one another in a crescendo, round and round. His magnum opus, The Word As Revelation: Names of Gods, is on Linguistics, Philosophy, Vedic exegesis, and Yoga. It shows how a religion of `many Gods’ represents authentic spirituality.

Unmasking Kashmir: A Bureaucrat Reveals (HB)
“The way Jammu and Kashmir has been suffering for over past six decades makes one think if there is really a curse on this ‘Paradise on Earth’. J&K’s economy is centred on horticulture, handicrafts, and tourism. But corruption and misrule have spoilt the atmosphere so much that the people feel perpetually alienated from their government. This book presents a ring-side view of the reality of Kashmiri politicians, bureaucrats and the public as never seen before. Sonali Kumar, a starry-eyed young woman, joined the IAS in 1979 to make a difference to India. She chose to come to the State of Jammu and Kashmir where she spent 37 years trying to understand its people, solve their problems and focus on development. What she found there was disturbing – an apartheid regime where the humanity is divided between insiders and outsiders, where outsiders nearly become second class citizens…. She tried to make the administrative system ‘people-friendly’ but soon became a victim herself. Little did she know that her quest for development in Kashmir will become a fight against corruption, nepotism, gender bias, communalism and anti-nationalism – all mixed together. She doesn’t realise that the vested interests she had hurt, will soon hit her back, and may even cost her career, house, perks and even her happiness. Will she succeed? Or will she fail? The book will prove useful both in understanding what the bureaucrats, especially in the IAS, do in J&K and in helping frame some national policies for dealing with the administrative set-up as well as the political problems in the State.”

Unveiling Ajit Singh’s Sanskrit Biography
Unveiling Ajit Singh’s Sanskrit Biography
There are facts that bear out the truth of the assertion that the ancient Indians did have a distinct historical consciousness with an independent view of history and that this view had little in common with the historical values of the Occident. In Rajasthan, probably from the 16th century onwards, a series of chronicles and epics were written on various dynasties. The Ajitodaya-mahakavyam of Pandit Jagajjivana Bhatta, then emerges as an important link in this very remote and unbroken chain of Ancient Indian Historiography. Avowedly, a historical epic of the 18th century on Maharaja Ajit Singh of Marwar, this 32-canto work is very useful as a corroboratory Sanskrit source of the History of Marwar in particular and Rajasthan in general. The present study for the first time investigates, analyzes and discusses quite perceptively the diverse aesthetic elements and politico-historical phenomena weaved in contemporary poetic medium.

Urban Naxals
Who are Urban Naxals or Urban Naxalites?
Urban Naxals are educated people in academia, media, NGOs and urban civil society in India who support violent insurrection against the State. They are often motivated by a violent-Left ideology and seek to achieve their objectives via coordinated violence rather than by democratic means. While the Naxalite movement is often associated with remote tribal areas, Urban Naxalism is a phenomenon in cities and urban centers. Urban Naxals act to amplify and normalize the violent Naxal movements such as the “People’s War Group”, names among the top ten terror groups in the world, and act as recruiters, propagandists and sources of funds. Naxalism is named as the leading internal security threat to India.
