The footprints of her Lord.. of Sri Krishna..!
350/=Krishna life & song of the blue god (Ramesh menon)
Shrimad Bhagwad Gita
This book is a magical, unexpurgated life of Krishna, told in a spirit of bhakti for the modern reader. Krishna: Life & Song of the Blue God opens on the battefield of Kurukshetra, on the brink of war, when the Pandava warrior Arjuna suffers a crisis of conrage & conscience. His divine consin & charioteer, the Bule God, being to expound the eternal dharma to him. The exposition between two teeming armies is the Bhagavad-Gita, the Song of God. The story quickly shifts back to Krishna’s birth, & then again to the battlefield; & so no, from song to life, chapter by chapte, until finally both narratives flow together near the end, just before the Great War erupts. Never before have Krishna’s holy Gita (from the Mahabharata) & his brilliant, unforgetable life (from the Bhagavata Purana) been juxtaposed so vividly & with such enchantment as in this book. A NOTE ON HINDU TIME:- ‘365 human years make one year of the devas & Pitrs, the Gods & the manes. Four are the ages in the land of Bharata—the krita, the treta, the dwapara & the kali. The krita yuga 4800 divine years, the treta 3600, the dwapara 2400, & the kali 1200; & then, another krita yuga begins. The krita or satya yuga is the age of purity; it is sinless. Dharma, righteousness, is perfect & walks on four feet in the krita. But in the treta yuga, adharma, evil, enters the world & the very fabric of time begins to decay. Finally, the kali yuga, the fourth age, is almost entirely corrupt, with dharma barely surviving hobbling on one foot. A chaturyuga, a cycle of four ages, is 12,00 divine years, or 365 x 12,00 human years long. 71 chaturyugas make a manvantara; fourteen manvantaras, a kalpa. A kalpa of 1000 chaturyugas, 12 million divine years, is one day of Brahma, the Creator. 8,000 Brahma years make one Brahma yuga, 1,000 Brahma yugas make a savana, & Brahma’s life is 3,003 savanas long. One day of Mahavishnu is the lifetime of Brahma….’
MAHABHARATA The Greatest Spiritual Epic of All Time (Retold by Krishan Dharma)
Shrimad Bhagwad Gita
“Dharma successfully captures the mood & majesty of a rich & ancient epic, & in the process, does full & complete justice to the critical of the complex story…. A well-wrought saga that will be appreciated by Western readers & admirably serve to introduce a new generation to the rich spiritual, cultural, & historic legacy of India.” ---Midwest Book Review “The narrative moves effortlessly… often as racily as a thriller, without compromising the elevated style & diction. The visual imagery is a every bit as impressive as anything achieved in the cinematic version.” ----Mahesh Nair, India Today “With its intense love scenes, jeweled palaces, vast battles, superheroes, magical weapons, & warring families, this novelized version resembles a 20th century saga-cum-soap opera, a marriage of Barbara Taylor Bradford & Arthur Hailey.” ------James Meek, The Guardiam (PILGRIMS PUBLISING) BIRTH OF THE KURU ELDERS:- Ambika peered curiously into mirror as her maidservants finished adorning her in preparation for the nuptial bed. She had lost none of her beauty despite of mourning. Her skin was flawless & as white as milk. Curling jet-black hair framed her oval face. Bow-like evebrows arched over her black eyes, which curved like two lotus petals. No wonder Vichitravirya had been so enamored of her, rarely leaving her side. While he was alive her maidservants had adorned her each evening, just in case her lord had desired to approach her. As Ambika again put on her ornaments & fine dress her mind drifted sadly back to the days she had spent with her husband. After having lain in that great hero’s powerful arms, how strange to now be preparing to meet another man!

250/=Mystical Stories from the MAHABHARATA Twenty Timeless lessons is Wisdom & Virtue (by Amal Bhakta)
Shrimad Bhagwad Gita
INTRODUCTION:- The Mahabharata is a great epic poem of India that was written by Krishan Dwaipayana Vyasa, compiler of the Vedic scriptures, about 5000, years ago. One of the longest poems in the world, it has eighteen parvas or books and about 220,000 lines. It is not only a moralistic and philosophical story but also a historical one. Though filled with intrigue, excitement and adventure, it nonetheless stands as a glorious primer for learning how to achieve spiritual enlightenment.Not only does the Mahabharata contain a main story—in which virtue fights against, and ultimately triumphs over, evil—but it also has many peripheral stories. These teach us, through the exemplary deliberations, decisions, and actions of the chief characters, how to acquire noble characteristics, virtue and culture, peace and wisdom, and inner, transcendental happiness. This particular presentation consists mainly of some of the peripheral stories, although it also contains a few instructive incidents from the main plotline. These twenty tales are about famous ancient heroes and heroines—kings, queens, sages and saints—who, when confronted by disturbing and harrowing situations, acted in ways that are outstandingly exemplary and inspirational. Thus the stories have the uncanny ability to challenge and motivate us to live up to, in our daily living, the highest principles of virtue. This can impart a sublime and tranquil to our otherwise stressful and confused lives. And to today’s world of intense speed and pressure, we should find this quite welcome. The poet Krishna Dwaipayana Vyasa recited the Mahabharata to his student Vaishampayana, who later narrated it at a sacrificial ceremony to King Janamejaya for the king’s spiritual enlightenment. The main subject of the story was the colossal war between the Kauravas and the Pandavas. They were descendants, through King Bharata, of King Puru, a glorious ancestor of one branch of the lunar dynasty. The basis of the monumental conflict was rulership of the kingdom, the capital of which was Hastinapura, located fifty-seven miles north-east of today’s New Delhi. Perhaps a brief summery here of the Mahabharata will help us to better understand why the peripheral stories were introduced into the epic and what value they served.
Rs... 205/=PERENNIAL PSYCHOLOGY OF THE BHAGAVAD GITA BY SWAMI RAMA
Shrimad Bhagwad Gita
INTRODCTION:- The Bhagavad Gita is the fountainhead of Eastern psychology, and this commentary is designed to draw out its psychological concepts and make them accessible to all students. These profound psychological insights are intertwined in the Bhagayad Gita with philosophical concepts, so the take undertaken here is to separate the psychological principles & to explain their practical application. Self-realization is the goal of human life. The purpose of Eastern religion, philosophy, and psychology is to fulfill that goal. Philosophy as it is understood in the East in neither a mere speculative exercise nor an intellectual adventure. The word “philosophy” is a compound of two words: philo & sophia, which mean “love for knowledge.” But this term is not applicable in the East, for those who consider the prime questions of life such as: Who am I? From where have I come? Why have I come? & Where will I go? Are not interested in only the intellectual answers to these questions. The subject matter of Eastern philosophy leads the student through a systematic way of directly experiencing the truths of existence and the height of Self-realization. After realizing one’s real Self, one knows that this Self is the Self of all. In the Vedantic tradition the term Brahma Vidya* is used instead of the philosophy. It has a different connotation and a deeper meaning than word philosophy conveys, and it is unique in it’s approach to knowledge. Brahma Vidya means the knowledge that leads one to realize Brahman, the Self of all. The Bhagavad Gita conveys that wisdom in its entirety and practical methods for the study and transformation of one’s inner being. Philosophy and psychology are thus intermingled. Without the help of psychology knowing analyzing, and learning to use our potentials—we cannot fulfill the goal of human life: Self-realization. In contrast, Western philosophy is intellectual and deals with man’s relationship with the knowledge he gains, he tries to understand his status. In Brahma Vidva, however, one comes to know all the levels of his being & finally to realize his true Self. According to the Eastern system, knowing the real Self is the first and foremost purpose of life. After Self-realization all the mysteries of the universe & one’s relationship with the universe are revealed. Because of their contrasting approaches, there is a wide gulf between philosophy & Brahma Vidya. One is only theoretical, but the other is practical as well.Though the Bhagavad Gita is composed of only seven hundred verses, it contains all the principles of the philosophy & psychology of the East. There are eighteen lessons in the Bhagavad Gita, each describing a different aspect of the process of self-transformation. This commentary emphasizes the psychological principles found in each chapter of the Bhagavad Gita. The sadhana (spiritual practice) described in each section is explained so that aspirants can help themselves progress in the in world journey & attain the highest state of bliss. The aim of the Bhagaved Gita is to teach the aspirant how to establish equanimity both in his internal life and in his activities in the external world; to help him develop tranquility within, and to explain the art and science of doing actions skillfully and selflessly.

600/=(Set of 2Vols.)SRIMAD BHNGAVATA (THE MESSAGE DIVINE) BY A.D. Bhattacharya
Shrimad Bhagwad Gita
Srimad Bhagavata, an epic does not need any introduction to the learned people because it has been a treasure to them from the time immemorial. Besides, it has been a source of inspiration to those who treat it as a great classic, being a part of literature. So far as its linguistic meaning is concerned, it may fairly be said that Srimad stands for Sri, meani-ng beauty & prosperity of goddess Laksmi & ‘mad’ meaning the beauty & prosperity of goddess Laksmi & ‘mad’ meaning the form of Madana or Kamadeva. As such combining both Srimad stands for “ exquisitely beautiful”. The word Bhagavata has been derived from the word ‘Bhaga’, meaning the six divine grsces collectively named riches, vigour, fame, beauty, knowledge & renunciation. From this it may be deduced that Srimad Bhagavata is a gem of good qualities. Thia classic epic has severla parts maned as Skandas ( or books) of outstanding value. However, because of its thematic value & grandeur in style, adopted by the composer, it is also termed as Ma- hapurana. In fact, the sage Vedavyasa, over & above the work expansion of Vedas, had composed Vedanta-Sutra, Mahabharata & seventeen Puranas including Padmapurana before composing Sri- mad Bhagavata Mahapurana. The central theme of this Mahapurana is meaning “meditating on the tainless & immortal highest truth or reality in the Purusa—Supreme Lord Vasudeva.” Epic projects this theme from the start (1/1/1) to finish (12/13/19) spread over in the body of this classic. It is told that the only truth is Lord Vasudeva since everything else is transcendental. The worship of tr- uth runs from Book One to Book Twelve & wherever you move, you get the touch of truth in some form of Purusa-Supreme i.e. Lord Vasudeva. The various forms of Lord Vasudeva spread over Srim-ad Bhagavata include incarnations as the divine Boar, Lord Kapila, Lord Nrsimha, the divine Dwarf, Lord Sri Krsna, Lord Balarama, & Lord Rama also.

200/=THE BHAGAVAD GITA (WithText, Translation & Commentary in the Words of SRI AUROBINDO)
Shrimad Bhagwad Gita
The Spirit of Approach:- It may therefore be useful in approaching an ancient Scripture, such as the Veda, Upanishada or Gita, to indicate precisely the spirit in which we approach it & what exactly we think we may derive from it that is of value to humanity & its future. First of all, there is undoubtedly a Truth one & eternal which we are seeking, from which all other truth derives, by the light of wich all other truth finds its right place, explanation & relation to the scheme of knowledge. But precisely for that reason it cannot be shut up in a single trenchant formula, it is not likely to be found in its entirety or in all its bearings in any single philosophy or Scripture or uttered altogether & for ever by one teacher, thinker, prophet or Avatae. Nor has it been wholly found by us if our view of it necessitates the intolerant exclusion of the truth underlying other systems; for when we reject passionately, we mean simply that we cannot appreciate & explain. Secondly, this Truth, though it is one & eternal, expresses itself in Time & through the mind of man; therefore every Scripture must necessarily contain two elements, one temporary, belonging to the ideas of the period & country in which it was produced, the other eternal & imperishable & applicable in all ages & countries. Moreover, in the statement of the Truth the actual form given to it, the system & arrangement, the metaphysical & intellectual mould, the precise expression used must be largely subject to the mutations of Time & cease to have the same force; for the human intellect modifies itself always; continually dividing & putting together it is obliged to shift its divisions continually & to rearrange its syntheses; it is alwaly leaving old expression & symbol for new or, if it uses the old, it so changes its connotation or at least its exact content & association that we can never be quite sure of understanding an ancient book of this kind precisely in the sense & spirit it bore to its contemporaries. What is of entirely permanent value is that which besides being universal has been experienced, lived & seen with a higher than the intellectual vision.

295/=THE DEVI GITA THE SONG OF THE GODDESS: A Translation, Annotation, & Commentary (C.Mackenzie Brown)
Shrimad Bhagwad Gita
This book provides a translation, with introduction, commentary, & annotation, of the medieval Hindu Sanskit text the Devi Gita (song of the Goddess). It is an important but not well-known text from the rich Sakta (Goddess) tradition of India. The Devi Gita was composed around the fifteenth century C.E, inpartial imitation of the famous Bbagavad Gita (song of the Lord), composed C.B, in partial imitation of the faous Bhagavad Gita (song of the Lord), compodes some fifteen centuries earlier. Around the sixth century C.B, following the rise of several male deities to prominence, a new theistic movement began in which the supreme being was envisioned as iemale, known as the Great Goddess (Maha-Devi). Appearing firet as a violent & blood-loving deity, this Goddess gradually evolved into a more benign figure, a compassionate World-Mother & bestower of salvific wisdom. It is in this benefic- ent mode that the Goddess appears in the Devi Gita. This work makes available an up-to-date translation of the Devi Gita, along with a historical & theologi- cal & theological analysis of the text. The book is divided into sections of verses, & each section is followed by a comment explaining key terms, concepts, ritual procedures, & mythic themes. The com-mennts also offer comparisons with related schools of thought, indicate parallel textual sources of vers- es in the Devi Gita, & briefly elucidate the historical & religious background, supplementing the remarks of the introuction.

300/=THE MAHABHARATA & THE YUGAS (India’s Great Epic Poem & the Hindu System of World Ages) by Luis Gonzalez-Reimann
Shrimad Bhagwad Gita
This book questions the conventional wisdom that a fully matured of the yugas—Hinduism’s ages of the world—is integral to the Mahabharata, & it illustrates how traditional commentators & modern scholars have read the later Puranic yuga theory into the Mahabharata, in particular whan it comes to placing the action at the beginning of the current terrible Kali Yuga. Luis Gonzalea-Reimann discusses the meaning of key terms in the epic by examining the text & ealy Buddhist sources. This book also traces the sectarian appropriation of the yuga system in later literature & documents have used the system to proclaim the arrival of a new, prosperous Krta Yuga, a phenomenon that coincides with New Age expectations. One of the main characteristic features of Hinduism is a complex system of world ages & cycles of creation & destruction. Within this elaborate system, the theory of the yuhas has always played a prominent role. It explains why society is as it is, & it describes the best course of action for someone who want to live according to religious principles. The theory also explaains, in mytholo- gical terms, important historical transformations in the religionus, moral, & social values of the Indian subcontinent.
