Book Description
What Happens When Those Things that are Supposed to Comfort You—Don’t? When Shakuntala Rajagopal lost her husband of forty-seven years in 2010, she was devastated. A devout Hindu, she followed what she had learned since birth. Her family celebrated their beloved father, uncle, and mentor through the many rituals sending him off to his new life. Shakuntala even travelled to India to lovingly give her husband’s ashes to the oceans off the southern coast of India. As her husband’s last ashes floated away, Shaku felt her will to go on float away with him. At the age of seventy, she decided that she needed to revisit her own devout spirituality and take one of the more grueling but one of the most spiritual of all pilgrimages in India—the Char Dham—where she could bathe in the sacred waters of the River Ganges, Maa Ganga. She knew it would be her chance for a rebirth, a new beginning. But she almost doesn’t make it. Song of the Mountains: My Pilgrimage to Maa Ganga is a story of survival, changing and challenging any reader in the way he or she approaches major changes in life. Rajagopal’s story is one that will empower the reader to take action and go forward in their own life, whatever the circumstance they are facing.

Book Description
We owe our existence to our mothers. A mother gives us birth, feeds us and protects us from harm. If it weren’t for her it is unlikely that we would have survived. Mothers play a key role in the existence of mankind. It is a mother who imparts knowledge and values to a child. She handles the affairs of the home ensuring the welfare and prosperity of the family. Mothers love, are patient and forgiving. Sometimes they also punish. Maa The Universal Mother highlights the concept of the Mother Goddess dear to all Hindus, manifested in many forms, and connects you to the modern times to appreciate the strength of a mother in bringing harmony to our lives through devotion and compassion.

Book Description
This volume was first published by Inter-Disciplinary Press in 2015. How do humans conceive of, enact, embody, perform, control, commodify, proscribe and portray love and gender? How are our bodies, our identities, our beliefs, our representations of ourselves affected by love and gender – or perceptions of love and gender? What don’t we know? What don’t we talk about? Why? Have answers to all these questions changed over time? Across cultures? These and many other questions lie at the heart of this volume on the changing natures and intertwining of gender and love. Its contents encompass concepts of love within and of the self, in families and between specific family members, in sexual and intimate relationships, in spiritual practice, in communities, and seen through many different lenses and from a range of disciplines and approaches. Readers may be left with more questions than answers: we certainly hope so.

The rapid switchover from the good old books to the addictive technology and computer games reminds of the good old days of the 90's, when people would wait at a bookstore to grab a copy of that special book before the stock was over, when the youth would play Kho-Kho and Carrom and winning that game would give the happiness that money couldn't buy. In those days, reading a short poem would give inner peace to an individual .Through this short collection of poems, random thoughts and inspirational quotes, every person in his/her young days, right from teenagers to university students, from fresh graduates to professionals, would be able to relate with themselves in some way or other, the thoughts unfolding in this book.

Book Description
Sunil was only six years old when he learnt that he was a Hindu—not the best of tags in his birthplace, Bangladesh. Friends turn hostile over that one realization and the child Sunil resigns himself to a life as a punching bag. As if this abuse of their only son was not enough, the Acharya family’s life is shattered one day by a terrible tragedy and they leave their home in Gaibadh overnight for a new life in India. The new life in his adopted motherland takes Sunil on an unheard-of journey, a journey you will identify every step with and pray it has not happened. One day, when he was only 39, doctors tell him that he has just a month to live. His was a life wasted. There is only one hope for him: he had learnt as a priest that every soul is given a chance to redeem itself and earn a place in Krishna’s abode. Will it hold true for him? Woven into the life of Sunil and his family are questions critical to the future of Hindus in India. Is the path of non-violence a recent invention or has it been around for ages? What does Krishna tell us about being non-violent or tackling adharmis? Are Hindus facing an existential crisis in their own land?
