The Life and Times of Chandrashekhar Azad
Prabhat Prakashan, अन्य कथा साहित्य, कहानियां, जीवनी/आत्मकथा/संस्मरण, प्रेरणादायी पुस्तकें (Motivational books)The Life and Times of Chandrashekhar Azad
Chandrashekhar Azad’s short and chequered life of a revolutionary is remembered in the annals of the history of India’s freedom struggle not merely for his indomitability in the face of odds, but for the human values he cherished. In today’s world, with the edifice of every conceivable value crumbling all around us, Azad’s life offers a paradigm for the redemption of a generation resigned to shallow ideals. Adversity came a dime a dozen to this village youth born to poor parents rich in morality and humaneness. It’s the roots that determine the actions of a person and actions, his destiny. At a time when we seem to be taking our freedom for granted, Azad’s biography is a reminder of the blood and toil that went into securing it. The road to preservation of freedom must be hemmed with respect for what we have, for being fortunate to be able to breathe in free air. The crucial caveat embedded in Azad’s biography is that we face a far greater threat from the enemies within than from enemies without.

The Life and Times of Subhash Chandra Bose
Give me blood and I’ll give you freedom’, declared Subhash Chandra Bose. This was exactly what he believed in. The moderate ways of the Congress were not for him. Therefore, he formed the Azad Hind Fauj to overthrow the British. Burning with patriotic zeal, he tried his best to oust the British from his motherland. He was respectfully addressed as ‘Netaji’ and he dedicated his entire life for the freedom of his country.
The annals of history have not done justice to this great patriot. It is time that he should be known by the people of India and given his due recognition.
This book attempts to bring his life into spotlight and illuminate it so that the reader is conversant with it and appreciates his efforts.SKU: n/a -

The Life and Times of Veer Savarkar

Vinayak Damodar Sarvarkar popularly known as Veer Sarvarkar has a unique place in the annals of history. Controversy surrounds his name. Some consider him to be one of the greatest revolutionaries in the freedom struggle of India while others think of him to be a communalist. However, there is no doubt that he was a freedom fighter, who not only fought for his country but also evoked feelings of patriotism in fellow citizens through his writings.
His biography is an eye-opener for it depicts the trials and tribulations of a person, who was sentenced to 50 years of hard imprisonment in the Cellular Jail of Andaman and Nicobar Islands, also called the ‘Kala Pani’. From his prison cell, he sent his poems to the mainland, memorized by the prisoners who were released.SKU: n/a -

THE MANUSMRITI (HB)
स्मृतियों या धर्मशास्त्रों में मनुस्मृति सर्वाधिक प्रामाणिक आर्ष ग्रन्थ है। मनुस्मृति का महत्त्व इसी से ज्ञात होता है कि इसे ऋषियों ने औषध कहा है – “मनुर्वै यत्किञ्च्चावदत् तद् भैषजम्” अर्थात् मनु ने जो कुछ कहा है, वह औषध के समान गुणकारी एवं लाभकारी है। शास्त्रकारों ने मनुस्मृति के महत्त्व को निर्विवाद रूप में स्वीकार करते हुए ही यह स्पष्ट घोषणा की है कि –
“मनुस्मृति-विरुद्धा या सा स्मृतिर्न प्रशस्यते। वेदार्थोपनिबद्धत्वात् प्राधान्यं हि मनोः स्मृतेः” – बृहस्पति स्मृति, संस्कार खंड 13-14
जो स्मृति मनुस्मृति के विरुद्ध है, वह प्रशंसा के योग्य नहीं है। वेदार्थों के अनुसार वर्णन होने के कारण मनुस्मृति ही सब में प्रधान एवं प्रशंसनीय है।
इस तरह दीर्घकाल से मनु का महत्त्व शिष्टजन स्वीकारते आ रहें हैं।
मनुस्मृति से न केवल वैदिक धर्मी प्रभावित थे अपितु बौद्ध मतावलम्बी भी प्रभावित थे। इसका एक उदाहरण उन्हीं के ग्रन्थ धम्मपद से देखिए –
“अभिवादनसीलस्य निच्चं बुढ्ढापचायिनो।
चत्तारो धम्मा वड्ढन्ति आयु विद्दो यसो बलम्”।।- धम्मपद 8.20
धम्मपद का ये श्लोक मनुस्मृति के निम्न श्लोक का पाली रूपान्तरण मात्र है –
“अभिवादनशीलस्य नित्यं वृद्धोपसेविनः।
चत्वारि तस्य वर्धन्ते, आयुर्विद्या यशो बलम्”।। – मनुस्मृति 2.121
बोद्ध महाकवि अश्वघोष ने भी अपनी कृति वज्रसूचिकोपनिषद् मे अनेक मनु के वचनों को उद्धृत किया है।
इस तरह मनुस्मृति का व्यापक प्रचार दृष्टिगोचर होता है लेकिन विगत कुछ वर्षों से मनुस्मृति का विरोध शुरू हो गया है। इसके निम्न कारण है –
मनु में शुद्र विरोधी श्लोकों का पाया जाना।
मनु में स्त्री विरोधी श्लोकों का पाया जाना।
कुछ अवैज्ञानिक और अवांछनीय तथ्यों का मनुस्मृति में प्राप्त होना।ये सब मनुस्मृति में उत्तरोत्तर काल में हुए प्रक्षेप का परिणाम है। मनुस्मृति में कौनसा श्लोक प्रक्षिप्त है और कौनसा सही, ये ज्ञात करने के लिए ऐसे अनुसंधात्मक कार्य की आवश्यकता है जो सकारण प्रक्षिप्त श्लोंकों का तार्किक विवरण प्रस्तुत कर सकें और मनुस्मृति के शुद्ध और वास्तविक स्वरूप का दिग्दर्शन करवा सकें।
इस विषय में डॉ.सुरेन्द्र कुमार जी ने मनुस्मृति पर अनुसंधान करते हुए, अनेक वर्षों के श्रम के पश्चात् मनुस्मृति का प्रस्तुत् भाष्य प्रकाशित किया है। प्रस्तुत् भाष्य में मनुस्मृति के प्रक्षिप्त श्लोंकों का निर्धारण निम्न मानदण्डों के आधार पर किया है –
अन्तर्विरोध या परस्परविरोध (2) प्रसंगविरोध (3) विषयविरोध या प्रकरणविरोध (4) अवान्तरविरोध (5) शैलीविरोध (6) पुनरुक्ति (7) वेदविरोध।
इन मानदण्डों के आधार पर प्रक्षिप्त श्लोक निर्धारित किए है।SKU: n/a -

Manusmriti is an ancient work on jurisprudence. Unfortunately, some misunderstandings and misconceptions are prevailing about Manu and his Manusmriti.Dr. Surendra Kumar ji an eminent Samskrita scholar has quoted many internal evidences from this book to prove that all these claims have no ground. They are false and malicious.He examined each and every Shlokas to detect the genuine from the interpolated ones. He has given convincing and logical proofs why such and such Shlokas are later additions to the body of the Manusmriti.An English translation of this book from the Ärsha Vedic point of view was not available. Arya UpadeshakaShri Pt. SatyapraksahBeegoo ji from Mauritius, voluntarily agreed to translate this into English, enhancing its value with transliteration of every Shloka, and providing the meaning of all the Samskrita words.

The Many Loves of Rama The Selfless Monarch
-15%English Books, Garuda Prakashan, इतिहास, रामायण/रामकथाThe Many Loves of Rama The Selfless Monarch
For an ordinary human being, the events dotting the life journey of Bhagwan Rama had enough to make him resentful, angry, jealous and full of ego. Yet he was none of this. Bhagwan Rama radiated love to all, including his worst enemies—and is loved by us all even today.
But still, we question some of his decisions as Maryada Purushottma: Why did he kill Vali from behind? Why did he mock Suparnakha? Why did he condemn Jatayu (initially)? Why did he look on silently when Mata Sita decided to undego Agnipareeksha? Why, despite seeing Sita clear the ‘fire-test’, did he pay heed to the washerman and exile his pregnant wife to the forest?
The Many Loves of Rama by Meera Prakash provides multi-level answers to these complex questions that confound us.
The book explores the options Bhagwan Rama had, both as an ordinary human being and as an incarnation. Can he be ‘sbolved’? The book also looks at the roles and significance of the people present around Bhagwan Rama, who helped the cause of the Visnu-incarnate in their own myriad ways. From his three brothers, mothers, Hanuman, Sugreeva, to Vibhishana, and many others—Rama always had people helping him because they loved him. And he loved them all.

The Quantum Book Of Soma : Reinterpreting the Wisdom of the Vedas
-10%Garuda Prakashan, अध्यात्म की अन्य पुस्तकेंThe Quantum Book Of Soma : Reinterpreting the Wisdom of the Vedas
The entire 9th Mandala of the Rig Veda is devoted to this magical Soma. Soma, however, is like the Beeja mantras (Aum, Hum, Sreem etc) of the Vedas. It was a meta-concept of extraordinary elegance and beauty. It encompassed a whole spectrum or range of meanings in that one word. In this book, the author examines in detail the Botanical aspect of Soma as a psychotropic plant; studies the biological aspect of Soma as an endogenous elixir—which he personally experienced in meditation; examines the Soma of Senses—of sight, sound, touch, taste and smell—and the Soma of Action as defined in the Geeta. The highlight of this book is the Quantum Mechanical approach to understanding the Atman and the act of seeing that generates this cosmos. This book analyses the Vedic Mahavakyas in the light of latest discoveries in Quantum Physics and neuro-biology; and the correspondences are simply amazing and revelatory.
“General Bakshi explores Soma extensively in neurobiology and mind body medicine and depth psychology, and ultimately its connection to the subtle body and chakras & Agni/Kundalini, weaving modern science with yogic meditation. All these many types of Somas are part of a greater integral and universal view of the infinite and eternal reality, the Atman that is Brahman. His explanation of Soma in terms of Vedantic Mahavakyas like Tat Tvam Asi is most notable.”

NARENDRA KOHLI
The Return : Story of Kunti is the English translation of second volume of Mahasamar : Adhikar, first published in 1990 and went on to earn the status of a classic. This volume begins with infancy and early childhood of Pandavs with their mother Kunti in Hastinapur and ends with Agnikand in Varnavrat. Through the character that emerges as an emblem of perseverance, dedication and grit-Kunti, the book underlines the definition of ownership rights, their loss and struggles faced by Pandavs to reinstate them. The Return is dedicated to Pandavs’ quest to get what is rightfully theirs, of Kunti’s to return to her home with her children and of Karn who would eventually have nowhere to return to.

In this book, Dr.Koenraad Elst has presented his wide-ranging study of Fascism, Nazism, Communism and the Hindutva movement.

The Sarasvati Civilisation
Who were the Harappans? How are they related to present-day Indians? Was there never an “Aryan Invasion”? The Sarasvati Civilization: A New Paradigm in Ancient Indian History brings together evidence from satellite imagery, geology, hydrodynamics, archaeology, epigraphy, textual hermeneutics, and DNA research to place together ancient Indian history in the light of new discoveries and facts which were simply not available to colonial historians of the 19th century and have been overlooked thereafter. At the heart of the ancient Indian Civilization was the mighty Sarasvati river which was in full flow 5000-6000 years ago. 60–80 % of the so-called Indus Valley Civilisation sites which have been discovered are not on the banks of the Indus but on the course of the Sarasvati. The drying-out of the river is the most significant factor in the history and migrations of the ancient Indians. With new evidence, the time has come for a significant paradigm shift in Indology. This book breaks new ground to lay the foundation for an authentic Indian history.

-10%English Books, Vitasta Publishing, इतिहास, सही आख्यान (True narrative)THE SIACHEN SOLDIER AND OTHER STORIES
In today’s troubles lie the seeds of tomorrow’s stories. Air Commodore Nitin Sathe, drawing from his extensive service in the Indian Air Force, reflects on how the trials, triumphs, and moments of joy that once consumed him have now become the raw material for his narratives. His stories vividly portray life in the armed forces – from the thrill of combat to the rigours of training, the turmoil of warfare, the solitude of distant outposts, and the joy of leisure. Meanwhile, Dr Suneet Madan skillfully weaves her poetic magic around the central theme of each narrative, creating a unique and thoughtful read. These narratives, told with lightness and brevity, provide an intimate glimpse into the fauji life and will linger in your thoughts long after you’ve turned the last page. They serve as motivation or inspiration in those moments when you think all isn’t well with life.
