Book Description
Shivapriya was just a child when thugs murdered her parents on the outskirts of their town in Kashmir. From that moment, she was raised by her grandfather, her Dada-ji, in an ashram deep in the Himalaya Mountains of Northern India. It's mostly an idyllic life until their security is threatened by forces from outside their peaceful valley. Just as Shivapriya grows to love Gopi, the man she became betrothed to as a youngster, and they plan a wedding, Gopi dies from injuries suffered in a mysterious accident. Dada-ji determines that Shivapriya's life is also in peril. He arranges for her to travel undetected to New York where he hopes she can begin life anew. But, New York and her adopted family bring their own challenges which test her faith instilled in her by her grandfather years before. A work of cultural heritage fiction, Shivapriya's Dance follows a young girl as she leaves her birth home of India and is forced to survive alone on the cruel streets of the Bronx.

Book Description
After high school, I was not sure about whether I should pursue dance or a technical subject. Awaiting clarity, I spent many months considering my options. While I was in the midst of this confusion, someone asked me, “What brings you closer to yourself?” I didn’t respond immediately, but in my mind the answer was clear. “Dance brings me closer to myself,” I thought. It was such an odd question, yet strangely it influenced a life decision. How can one be closer to or farther from oneself? I knew that dance would begin to reveal something to me at some point in time, but I wasn’t sure of what this thing would be. The act of dancing holds something within it that I wanted to discover. What if I could imbibe my life with the clarity of thought, precision, control and simultaneous surrender that I am able to wield as a performer? Wouldn’t life change inexplicably for the better? The applause bursts like rain clattering From a cloud too heavy to hold, My elation bathes me as sweat trickles Down my forehead a moment before It stings my eye to remind me to see, They applaud the dance, not me. If I were to fall prey, my dance entwined With only moments of applause to remind Of my days of yore. No never not. Dance is me and yet not at all... - Rukmini Vijayakumar

Book Description
This is a full account of Siva's Dance of Bliss, which has become a popular symbol in the West for Hinduism and Eastern Mysticism. Siva is one of the two main gods of Hinduism, and his worshippers comprise half of all Hindus. Siva's Dance of Bliss is based on a remarkable Sanskrit poem written by Umapati Sivacarya, Saiva theologian and temple priest in Cidambaram, South India, in the fourteenth century. Starting with the bronze image of Nataraja, King of Dancers, thereafter the Cidambaram temple, its myth and its priests are viewed in the light of the poem. Umapati's Saiva theology is discussed in relation to his life and also in relation to Vedanta and yoga. The iconography and mythology of the Goddess and of other forms of Siva provide necessary perspective. Art from Cidambaram and neighbouring sites illuminates the text.
