Vyatha Kahe Panchali (Hindi)
“पाँच पिया स्वीकारे क्यूँ थे।
खुद ही भाग बिगाड़े क्यूँ थे।काश विशेधी हो जाती मैं।
थोड़ा क्रोधी हो जाती मैं।काश न मेरे हिस्से होते।
शुरू नहीं फिर किस्से होते।काश वर्ण को वर लेती मैं।
वाणी वश में कर लेती मैं।कर्ण अगर ना होता शायद।
तो संग्राम न होता शायद।दुःशासन मतिमंद न होता।
रिश्तों में फिर द्वंद न होता।जो दुर्योधन क्रुद्ध न होता।
तो शायद ये युद्ध न होत।यूँ ना काश विभाजन होता।
अर्जुन ही बस साजन होता।खुले अगर ये बाल न होते।
श्वेत् पृष्ठ फिर लाल न होतेयदि मेरा अपमान न होता।
गिद्धों का जलपान न होता।मौन अगर गुरुदेव न होते।
रण आँगन में प्राण न खोते।काश सत्य का साथ निभाते।
और बड़े भी कुछ कह पाते।सत्य यही जो समर न होता।
कुरुक्षेत्र फिर अमर न होता।नारी का अपमान न होता।
कुरुक्षेत्र शमशान न होता।SKU: n/a -

Waiting for Shiva: Unearthing the Truth of Kashi’s Gyan Vapi recreates the history, antiquity and sanctity of Kashi as the abode of Bhagwan Shiva in the form of Vishweshwara, or Vishwanath. Shiva himself assured his devotees of salvation if they leave their mortal coils in the city.

WHAT IS MODERATE ISLAM?
Akshaya Prakashan, राजनीति, पत्रकारिता और समाजशास्त्र, सही आख्यान (True narrative)WHAT IS MODERATE ISLAM?
“Richard L. Benkin has put forth a solid collection of chapters on one of the most critical topics of the dayódistinguishing between moderate Muslims and Islamists. With the growing threat of Islamist groups in the Middle East and their affiliates in the West, the issue of identifying moderates necessitates a clear and guided answer, which is detailed throughout these chapters. This book is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the complexities and nuances of the Muslim world at large.” – Asaf Romirowsky, Middle East Forum Radical Islam is a major affliction of the contemporary world. Each year, radical Islamists carry out terrorist attacks that result in a massive death toll, almost always involving noncombatants and innocents. Estimates of how many Muslims could be considered followers of radical Islam vary widely, and there are few guides to help distinguish moderates from radicals. Observers often sit at the extremes, either seeing all Muslims as open or closeted jihadis or recoiling from any attempt to link Islam with international terror. Both positions are overly simplistic, and the lack of rational principles to absolve the innocent and identify the accomplices of terror has led to governments and individuals mistakenly accepting jihadis as moderate. What is Moderate Islam? brings together an array of scholars and activists -Muslim and non-Muslim- to provide this missing insight. This wide-ranging collection examines the relationship among Islam, civil society, and the state. The contributors investigate how radical Islamists can be distinguished from moderate Muslims, analyze the potential for moderate Islamic governance, and challenge monolithic conceptions of Islam.

English Books, Garuda Prakashan, राजनीति, पत्रकारिता और समाजशास्त्रWhen Mani Writes: “Hindu Terror”
This book brings, under one cover, a collection of articles by R V S Mani, who is well-known for his role as a whistle blower on “Hindu Terror”, that were published on different portals like zeenews.com, Wion, guru’s etc. The articles pertain to a wide range of topics, related to politics, international scenario, internal security, agriculture and also an interview. These articles were written before the issues they dealt with exploded in the face of the nation. They were actually warnings. As the author says, he did not want the bragging rights for “I said so”, but to urge the nation to look at the pattern and prevent a possible controversy/ problem for the nation in the near future.
Be it the latest news of Captain Amarinder Singh accusing that Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan had wanted Navjyot Singh Siddhu to be a minister in his cabinet; the issue of ‘parali’ burning being an attempt to alter agrarian practices in a border state in order to destablise the nation; Nikah Halala being a national security issue; and several others continue to prove that what was written by Mani, came out to be true and/ or continues to be highly relevant event today.

Why I Killed the Mahatma: Understanding Godse’s Defence
English Books, Rupa Publications India, इतिहासWhy I Killed the Mahatma: Understanding Godse’s Defence
It is common knowledge that Mahatma Gandhi was shot dead in 1948 by a Hindu militant, shortly after India had both gained her independence and lost nearly a quarter of her territory to the new state of Pakistan. Lesser known is assassin Nathuram Godse’s motive. Until now, no publication has dealt with this question, except for the naked text of Godse’s own defence speech during his trial. It didn’t save him from the hangman, but still contains substantive arguments against the facile glorification of the Mahatma.
Dr Koenraad Elst compares Godse’s case against Gandhi with criticisms voiced in wider circles, and with historical data known at the time or brought to light since. While the Mahatma was extolled by the Hindu masses, political leaders of divergent persuasions who had had dealings with him were less enthusiastic. Their sobering views would have become the received wisdom about the Mahatma if he hadn’t been martyred. Yet, the author also presents some new considerations in Gandhi’s defence from unexpected quarters

Winning Strategies Serving With A Smile
We did a scanning of catalogues of all publishing houses, libraries and books stores and discovered that there is NOT a single, soft-skill training books catering specifically to the needs of students, aspiring to get into the aviation and hospitality industries. This book fils that vital gap.
When Air Hostes Academy (AHA) launched its first training institute at Delhi’s Amar Colony, there was not a single institute of its kind offering customised training for the aviation and hospitality sectors. The programme became popular since there was a great demand for it because of its usefulness in the industry.SKU: n/a -

Women In Islam
This study discusses a woman’s status under Islam. It discusses Islamic laws relating to marriage, divorce and dower; it discusses polygamy and concubinage which were not long ago important political institutions of Islam; they were made possible by its fast-growing Imperialism and they in turn had fully served its expansionist needs. The author also mentions Islam’s treatment of the infidels, a related and even more cruel aspect of the same problem, and also a question of grave concern to the non-Muslim world.

Ya Devi Sarvabhuteshu (PB)
दुर्गा सप्तशती तंत्र का मेरुदंड है। इस पुस्तक के सभी मंत्र अमोघ हैं। सुरथ एवं समाधि की कहानी से शुरू हो रही सप्तशती वस्तुतः तेरहवें अध्याय के अंतमें यह बताती है कि दुर्गा का पूजन, उनके माहात्म्य का जप पुण्यदायी है-इहलोक, परलोक सुधारने वाला है। दुर्गा के माहात्म्य को श्रद्धापूर्वक सुनने का परिणाम था कि राजा सुरथ सूर्य के अंश से सावर्णि नामक मनु के रूप में उत्पन्न हुए।
तेरह अध्यायों में शक्ति के भिन्न- भिन्न स्वरूपों का ध्यान किया गया है। ऋग्वेद में अपना परिचय देते हुए शक्ति कहती हैं- अहम् ब्रह्म स्वरूपिणी । शक्ति ब्रह्म से भिन्न नहीं हैं, और उनको समझना उतना ही दुष्कर हैं, जितना ब्रह्म को, पर दोनों एक दूसरे से जुड़े हुए हैं। निःसंदेह शक्ति ही स्वयं में संतुष्ट और कामनाओं से परे ब्रह्म को क्रियाशील करती हैं, अन्यथा शिव निश्चल रहते हैं-
जहाँ भी रचना हो रही है. या विलय हो रहा है, वहाँ शक्ति अवश्य क्रियारत है। निखिल मंत्र विज्ञान में शक्ति के दिग्दर्शन की ओर प्रत्येक साधक को ले जाना हमारा ध्येय है और पुनीत कर्तव्य भी। दुर्गा सप्तशती में निहित आध्यात्मिक रहस्य को यह पुस्तक पाठकों के सम्मुख ‘या देवी सर्वभूतेषु’ के माध्यम से प्रस्तुत करने का विनीत प्रयास है, इस आशा के साथ कि इसे पढ़ने के बाद आप सभी साधकों और पाठकों के मन में शक्ति से संबंधित छाया भ्रमजाल छिन्न-भिन्न हो जाएगा।
