Akhyayikas II by Rajesh Seshadri Pdf

We have all been brought up listening to stories from our grandparents, parents, and many others. Stories have an innate capacity to mould us, to shape our thinking, to inspire us, to motivate us, to coach us and impress our subconscious mind metaphorically. Storytelling is, and has always been, an important part of the solution for simulating positive behavioural changes. And when the stories are real-life stories, the benefits get amplified manifold. The emotional strings attached to real human stories bring credibility, engagement, and buy-in. The second book in the AKHYAYIKAS series (Akhyayika means a fable, a short episodic narrative, or an anecdote) is a compendium of 100 short stories of people who dared to dream. Given the rough twist of fate, they decided to pick themselves up and make successes of themselves in their chosen life purpose. All the characters in the stories have one thing in common: they believed in the power of their dreams. The purpose of life is to live a life of purpose!

Akhyayikas III by Rajesh Seshadri Pdf

Strangely, despite the human heart's abject need for the Truth, which is the only thing in which it may find liberation, people typically react to Truth with hate and dread. Therefore, the greatest spiritual teachers, including the Buddha, devised a method to circumvent the resistance of their followers, through stories. A narrative has the intrinsic power to mould, inspire, motivate, coach, and leave a metaphorical impression on our subconscious mind. Storytelling is and has always been an important part of the solution. In a world that is overflowing with negative news, sensational broadcasts and dreadful predictions, the Akhyayika series of books are ordained and intended to stimulate, enthuse, uplift, nourish and enlighten. This, the third book in the series, is an anthology of Zen stories. Thousands of epigrammatic, instructive tales describing the realizations of past Zen masters can be found in the Zen canon. These stories have been specially selected, edited and embellished from a variety of sources that constitute mankind’s spiritual inheritance. Pick any story at random – they can be humorous, paradoxical, multifaceted, enigmatic or tantalizing – yet every single one of them will offer a plausible perspective and varying insights. As a spiritual being, allow these stories to sink into your subconscious and emancipate you.

Age of Pi and Prose by Venkatesh Rangan Pdf

Between 476 CE and 505 CE, three heroic “makers of history” from India laid the seeds of a massive transformation in human society; the effects of which we still feel today. Budhagupta Vikramaditya, the heroic warrior emperor, unified a polarized and disintegrating country, defeated the “world conquering” armies of the Huns, appointed mentors to the Nan Qi emperors of Southern China and paved the way for organized state formation in Tibet. He organized a series of mega conferences that powered a transformative intellectual ferment. Two products of the intellectual ferment of these years were the child prodigy, Aryabhata, and the literary giant, Subandhu. In the wider realm of world politics and society, the effects of events of these three decades in India laid the foundation for some of the most defining moments of civilizational history. These moments included the unification of the Korean peninsula in the 7th cent, the consolidation of imperial control by the Soga clan in Japan, the transformation of Chinese polity, a redefinition of Sassanian kingship in Persia and an intellectual revolution in late medieval Europe. This book is a non-fiction narrative of this incredible yet rare story of three Indians who in a short span of thirty years created a whole new world.

Creative Pasts by Prachi Deshpande Pdf

The "Maratha period" of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, when an independent Maratha state successfully resisted the Mughals, is a defining era in the history of the region of Maharashtra in western India. In this book, Prachi Deshpande considers the importance of this period for a variety of political projects including anticolonial/Hindu nationalism and the non-Brahman movement, as well as popular debates throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries concerning the meaning of tradition, culture, and the experience of colonialism and modernity. Sampling from a rich body of literary and cultural sources, Deshpande highlights shifts in history writing in early modern and modern India and the deep connections between historical and literary narratives. She traces the reproduction of the Maratha period in various genres and public arenas, its incorporation into regional political symbolism, and its centrality to the making of a modern Marathi regional consciousness. She also shows how historical memory provided a space for Indians to negotiate among their national, religious, and regional identities, pointing to history's deeper potential in shaping politics within thoroughly diverse societies. A truly unique study, Creative Pasts examines the practices of historiography and popular memory within a particular colonial context, and illuminates the impact of colonialism on colonized societies and cultures. Furthermore, it shows how modern history and historical memory are jointly created through the interplay of cultural activities, power structures, and political rhetoric.

An Epitome of Indian Aesthetics and Fine Arts: Sanskrit Poetics by Dr. Thiagarajan Rajagopal Pdf

This book is a primer to Understand the History and Development of Alankara Sastra. It will be an easy reading for Sanskrit and useful for students of other literature too! In Sanskrit there are several synonyms of ‘beauty’,—‘Saundarya’, ‘Caruta’, ‘Ramaniyata’,‘Saubhagya’, ‘Sobha’, ‘Lavanya’, ‘Kanti’, ‘Vicchitti’, and so forth. But the most frequently adopted key-term of aesthetics is Alankara. That is why Alankara-sastra should be translated as the science of beauty. Its widest meaning is adequately stressed by Vamana who aphoristically states — “Saundaryam alankarah.” Since ‘alankara’ can also mean a ‘means of beauty’, it can denote poetic and artistic devices also. In the Rgveda itself we have the use of the word aramkrti which is cognate with the later word alankara and which gives rise to the Indian name of aesthetics, namely, Alankarasastra. The Vedic term has a double connotation — one aesthetic and the other magical.
