Dritrashtra The Blind King by Umesh Kotru, Ashutosh Zutshi Pdf

Despite being sired by one of the greatest sages of his time, the Kuru prince was not only blind by birth but also manifested several psychological infirmities as he grew up. Prodded by these frailties of body and mind, the prince, who ascended the throne of Hastinapur by an accident of fate, became an instrument for the complete annihilation of his own progeny, only to discover in the end that whatever had transpired was just a part of the cosmic drama and he was only playing out his assigned role. In the process extremes of human behavior, both positive and negative come to the fore. While some indulge in self-sacrifice to uphold their resolve and principles, others driven by intense desire and ambition cause the downfall and demise of their own well-wishers.

The Social Model of Disability in India by Ranjita Dawn Pdf

This book presents various paradigms and debates on the diverse issues concerning disability in India from a sociological perspective. It studies disability in the context of its relationship with concepts such as culture/religion, media, literature, and gender to address the inherent failures in challenging prevalent stereotypical and oppressive ideologies. It traces the theological history of disability and studies the present-day universalized social notions of disablement. The volume challenges the predominant perception of disability being only a medical or biological concern and provides deeper insight into the impact of representation through an analysis of the discourse and criteria for ‘normalcy’ in films from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. It analyzes the formation of perspectives through a study of representation of disability in print media, especially children’s literature, comics, and graphic novels. The author also discusses the policies and provisions available in India for students with disabilities, especially women who have to also contend with gender inequality and gender-based discrimination. The book will be of interest to scholars and researchers of disability studies, educational psychology, special education, sociology, gender studies, politics of education, and media ecology. It will also be useful for educationalists, NGOs, special educators, disability specialists, media and communication professionals, and counsellors.

The Bhagavad Gita by Edward Viljoen Pdf

The Bhagavad Gita: The Song of God Retold in Simplified English is the latest title in the Essential Wisdom Library. This unique edition of the timeless epic is designed to be accessible for readers without any prior experience of Hinduism. Not simply a translation of the original, Viljoen has simplified and restated the Gita’s complex ideas, so that a first-time reader can fully appreciate the scope and beauty of this magnificent Indian classic. Written in concise, modern language the retelling vividly captures the power and depth of the original work. Part of the Mahabharata, the Gita is a dialogue between Prince Arjuna and Lord Krishna. Its verses contain some of the key ideas of Hindu philosophy—Dharma, Moksha, and various yogic practices. Originally written well over a thousand years ago, the Gita has proven to be a timeless source of wisdom, inspiring philosophers and revolutionaries alike in the millennia since it was written. In addition to the retelling of the text, this edition includes a character list, a glossary of important terms, and chapters exploring the back-story from the Mahabharata and the impact and meaning of the Bhagavad Gita itself. The Bhagavad Gita is an approachable way for today’s readers to engage with one of history's richest spiritual epics.

Gita ka Aks by Akshay Jaithalia Pdf

“Gita” has always intrigued me to the core, probably because of its powerful presence in our religious upbringings or perhaps simply because of its different narratives & commentaries from various commentators from different walks of life over the several centuries gone by. So, until now we understand Gita from the stand points of its writer (“To Each to its Own”) & reason for that is the usage of words (in any translation/commentary). The use of heavy vocabulary, demotivates the regular reader. It’s not that it is wrong, rather in my view it’s because of the fact that Gita has such heavy-duty Sanskrit words, which conveys more then just the meaning of the word itself, so it is difficult for any translator to convey the same message in easier words. And I have to admit that it is extremely difficult to translate & convey the meaning of these powerful Sanskrit words in easy English. Still, I have tried in my own humble way to narrate “Gita” as it is or the way Shri Hari has inspired me to write using day-to-day words, so that every reader can interpret in their own simple way (“My Gita, My Understanding”)
