A Hermeneutic Study Of Vacanamrtam
The text Vacanamrtam, a collection of dialogues contains a well-formulated vedanta. In Indian tradition,
Scripture is considered the primary source. Therefore, an extensive study of the text in hermeneutic perspective is undertaken.
The book is divided in six parts. Part one comprising three chapters gives an overview of
Hermeneutics from Western and Indian perspectives, and the text ‘Vacanamrtam’ in the
hermeneutic perspective. Part II covering two chapters gives a glimpse of the life story of
ƒri SwÈminÈrÈya‡a and the general history of GujarÈt. Part III comprises two chapters
meant for the general introduction of the text and of the compilers. Part IV covering five
chapters discusses various methods employed; and beauty of the prose of the text. Part V in
three chapters deals with the major topics – Epistemology, Ontology, Ethics and Religion.
Part VI comprises two chapters; one chapter with reference to Hermeneutics as an ongoing
process covers a comparative reading of different traditions, and in the concluding chapter,
I offer my personal observations.SKU: n/a -

Anubhasya on The Brahmasutra by Mahaprabhu Sri Vallabhacharya with the commentary Bhasyaprakasa of Gosvami Sri Purusottamaji and the super-commentary Rasmi on the Bhasyaprakasa of Gosvami Sri Gopesvarji, edited with introduction and appendices etc. by Mulchandra Tulsidas Teliwala, with a new introduction in English and Sanskrit by Goswami Sri Shyam Manoharji Maharaj, Sasthapithadhisvara, Mandira Sri Mukundarayaji Sri Gopalalalaji, Kasi, 4 Volumes.
The present commentaries on Anubhasya known as Prakasa written by Sri Purusottama Carana, a descendent of Sri Vallabhacarya and another on the same known as Rasmi by Sri Yogi Gopesvara, of the same lineage, provide excellent and appropriate interpretation of the tradition. In fact, Anubhasya of Vallabhacarya with these two commentaries given by Sri Purusottamacarana and Gopesvaraji is the most authentic text for providing illuminating interpretation of the Brahmasutra.
This edition was originally printed by Nirnaysagar Press, Bombay, an institution known for publishing and printing the authentic editions. This work was published some eighty years ago, now printed again with a new Introduction in English and Sanskrit by one of the greatest scholars of modern times in the tradition.

IN SEARCH OF LIGHT
From time of cognitive revolution, man was
curious to understand the creation and its relationship to him. His primary goal was to be
happy. He wanted to know and experience how
the creation ñ its true light ñ can direct, teach,
contribute and hold him to reach that goal. This untiring search for
the true light, resulted in the blossoming of the thoughts enshrined
in the Vedas. Vedas rested mostly on intuitive ideas, power ñ
reinforced by faith. Over the centuries, the search also took an
alternative route based on analytical and experimental discoveries,
generally covered under ìScienceî. Both are in search of the common ideals yet their approaches have been sometimes parallel and
divergent on a few other occasions. The truth and basics being
same, both contributed to each other knowingly or unknowingly.
The search still continues.
There are students devoted to either of the schools ñ Science
and Vedas ñ and they can see commonalities in thought, method
and principles. This book aims to strengthen their belief both in
intuitive logic and analytics based on observation. It further
explores such commonalities with an open mind, however accepting
the intermediary divergences as is.
The approach taken in this book is to keep the granules of the
elements as a mixture (i.e., each maintaining its identity) and not as
a alloy (losing their original properties to form a new idea itself) ñ
leaving scope for newer developments.SKU: n/a -

हिन्दू रक्षा-शिक्षा के लिए एक अनिवार्य पुस्तक। तीन अंतर्राष्ट्रीय विद्वानों की चेतावनी जैसे विश्लेषण-विवरण की हिन्दी में सारभूत प्रस्तुति।
इस्लाम के अनुसार अच्छा मुसलमान वह है जो प्रोफेट के सुन्ना का पालन करता है। यही एकमात्र निर्धारक है। यदि इस्लाम को जानना है तो सदैव मुहम्मद की ओर देखें, न कि किसी नेता, विद्वान या मौलाना को। तभी आपको सत्य मिलेगा। वरना धोखे खाने की ही पूरी संभावना है।… इस्लाम द्वारा दूसरों के साथ सह-अस्तित्व की सारी बातें सदैव अस्थाई होती हैं।… इसलिए पहले इस्लामी सिद्धांत व इतिहास जान कर ही सच्चाई समझे। यह अब कठिन नहीं रहा। तभी जरूरी है कि इस्लाम के सिद्धांत और व्यवहार के इतिहास को पूरी तरह जानने की व्यवस्था करना अनिवार्य कर्तव्य है। Islam denies coexistence
इस्लाम के साथ सामंजस्य का मतलब है उस की ओर से आती रहने वाली क्रमशः अंतहीन माँगें (डॉ. अंबेदकर ने कहा था, ‘मुसलमानों की माँगे हनुमान जी की पूँछ की तरह बढ़ती जाती हैं’) पूरी करते जाना। प्रोफेट मुहम्मद अपनी माँगों में कभी नहीं रुके,जब तक कि उन की 100% माँगें पूरी नहीं हो गईं। वही मुसलमानों के आदर्श हैं। इसलिए काफिरों के लिए कोई आसानी का रास्ता नहीं।
उन्हें समझ लेना होगा कि इस्लाम उस एक चीज – जिहाद – को कभी नहीं छोड़ेगा, जिस से उसे आज तक सारी सफलता मिली! इस्लाम की सारी सफलता राजनीतिक समर्पण की माँग, दोहरेपन और हिंसा पर आधारित है। बेचारा काफिर जो बदलना चाहता है वह यही चीज है – हिंसा, दबाव, हुज्जत, और राजनीति। जबकि काफिर से समर्पण की माँग करना और हिंसा करना, यही इस्लाम की सफलता का गुर रहा है। अतः हिंसा, दबाव, हुज्जत, और माँगें कभी नहीं रुकने वाली, क्योंकि वह 1400 वर्षों से काम कर रही हैं। आज तो वह पहले किसी भी समय से अधिक काम कर रही हैं! भारत में ही किसी भी हिन्दू नेता का भाषण सुन लीजिए।
यह पुस्तक राजनीतिक इस्लाम और कम्युनिज्म के स्वरूपों पर, भिन्न-भिन्न देशों के तीन बड़े विद्वानों के प्रमाणिक
आकलनों की एक प्रस्तुति है। वर्तमान अंतरराष्ट्रीय स्थिति को समझने में भी यह सहायक हो सकती है।SKU: n/a -

Kashmir the land of Rishis
-11%
Akshaya Prakashan, English Books, Religious & Spiritual Literature, इतिहासKashmir the land of Rishis
Kashmir is called the Garden of Rishis (Reshiver). Kashyapa Rishi, considered the founder of Kashmir mandala, is one of the Saptrishis mentioned in the Rig Veda. He is considered to be the Prajapati or progenitor of mankind. The pristine nature of Kashmir nurtured a host of sages or rishis in its bosom like Bharat Muni, Utpaladeva, Panini and many others who carry the credit of making Kashmir the land of Vedic knowledge and the ancient centre of learning. The rishi tradition in Kashmir has been very powerful and continued to be inherited by the Hindus of the valley until the advent of Islam in the 14th century.
Rajatarangini, the celebrated history of ancient Kashmir brought down up to CE 1149, gives excellent account of the impact of Rishi teachings on the people of the land, the foremost of which was non-violence and peaceful coexistence. Rishi teachings and their lives were the role model for the people of ancient Kashmir to be tied down to the unwritten constitution of nature which means that their teachings had gone into the blood and become part of entire social structure. The fact is that the teachings of those rishis can be called the foundation on which the huge edifice of Kashmiriyat was raised.
The advent of the Islamic faith in Kashmir through the Muslim missionaries of Iran and Central Asia is a unique phenomenon in the history of mankind. Firstly, the entire basis of the religion brought from Arabia was in no way similar to those that had flourished in Kashmir for centuries. Secondly, the tribal culture which had shaped the religious construct of the Muhammadans was fully alien to the culture of the people in ancient Kashmir. Thirdly, and very significantly, the Iranian or Central Asian missionaries who brought the Islamic faith to Kashmir were the progeny of proselytised ancestors of Aryan stock and not of Semitic stock. Psychologists and anthropologists tell us that a society entirely converting to a new faith, for whatever reasons, generally panders to extremism in the new faith just because either it wants to convince the conqueror of its faithfulness to the new civilization or vies with the conqueror to prove that he is a better adherent to the new faith brought to him. This is exemplified by the animus and hatred which today’s Iran nurses against the Israelis.
This is a book in which, the author has inserted photographs of numerous temples, shrines (asthapans), viharas, stupas, ponds, water bodies, hillocks, structures etc. most of these in dilapidated condition owing to the vagaries of weather and eccentricities of human nature. The author has visited most of these places personally and described how arduous journeys he had to undertake to get their photographs and make a small note culled out from books of history or from the stories collected from the local elders who have inherited the stories from their elders. Being a retired military officer, he thankfully acknowledges the logistic support he received from his friends in the services and which helped him immensely in writing this account.SKU: n/a
