Book Description
The central subject matter of this book is the Vedas. While it is a book that is written primarily for a layman’s audience, this work is for anyone wishing to consider and follow the path of Hindu dharma. The Vedas are more a subjective than an objective science. It is true that when practising Hindu dharma, one needs to be logical and subjective. But being logical is not the same as using formal logic. The work is intended to demystify various (if not all) terminologies and nomenclature of Hinduism, and to break the myth that the ‘Puranas’ and ‘Itihasa' are not meaningless mythologies or absurd Indian history but technical commentaries on Vedas. This will help the readers in understanding the various practices and rituals. The intention of this work is not to hurt the sentiments of any persons following any dharma or any religion but only to make proper philosophical enquiries into the practice of the respective dharmas and religions. The common view of Hindu dharma is to encourage Poorva Paksha- i.e. the art of enquiry and debate.

Book Description
Poorni tried hard to recollect the name of Vedavyasa’s mother but failed. Her grandma, Dodda, nodded her head and gave out the answer. What followed was more questions. Does Brahma see a new universe every single day in his 100 year-life-span? How did Vishnu tackle plagiarism of his Vedas? Was the last Pandava warrior, who escaped Brahmastra, killed by an eight-year-old boy’s curse? Is North star named after Dhruva, who did penance at the age of five? Why did Vaivasvata Manu want his baby’s gender changed? Was Chandra cursed to wax and wane by his father-in-law? How did a King give birth to a baby, when such medical miracles were unheard of in those ages? Poorni found answers in the form of stories. When she started to read more, she found an interesting connection between the Puranas and the present-day life. Such stories gave birth to the book, Ishanu Tales. It is a collection of select stories from Srimadbhagavata, one of the eighteen puranas, revered in Hindu philosophy. The Bhagavata comprises of 12 Skandas (volume of books), which include a wide range of topics including cosmology, astronomy, genealogy, culture. This book covers some of the interesting stories on creation of universe, genealogy of Suryavamshis (solar dynasty) and the Chandravamshis (lunar dynasty) and also on various forms that Vishnu takes to restore peace and righteousness (Dharma).

Book Description
With the rise of the Hindu fundamentalist BJP as a significant electoral force nationwide, Indian politics are in the process of a major shift in character. Not only is the shaky hold of Congress on power threatened by this dynamic party with its overt appeal to religious chauvinism, but the secular nature of the Indian state and delicate balance of relations between diverse religious communities are at stake. The eminent scholars who have collaborated in this book examine both the flash point issue of the mosque at Ayodha (demolished by militant Hindus), as well as the deeper causes - historic and contemporary - underlying rising communal tension in India today/ This book constitutes a profound but accessible re-examination of many basic features of Indian society and politics.
