The Yavanajataka of Sphujidhvaja is a very important Vedic-Greek astrological treaty as well a histrorical account from the time of Alexander the great. The Sanskrit Word "Yavan" means The Greek. Alexander the great, in around year 330 before the Christ, through his conquest expanded the helenstic empire to the western doors of ancient India. This created and opportuinity of cultural exchange. The ancient Indians learned the principals of Ancient Greek Astrology and incorporated into their own system. That gave rise to modern "Post Vedic Hindu Astrology". It must also be understood that ancient Greek reliegion and Vedic religion were very compitable to eachother, so were their mythology, symbology and astrology. The underlying cause of this compatibnility is their shared roots in common Indo-European (Aryan) ancestory. While Greek tradition, strong at the time of Alexander the Great, suffered gradual decline due to lack of scholarship as the golden age of philosophers, mathemeticians and astronomers like Plato, arastu, Euclid ended. The much bigger blow was the abrahemic theology which is much more responsible for decline of these practices. In India, fortunately, Sacred Vedic Aryan tradition was kept alive by the brahamans and patronage of kings. This paved the path of continuation of the ancient knowledge. This work Yavanajataka (lit. the Greek astrology) is a treasure that was lost in the dark ages of time. It has a lot of forgotten (by the Europeans) Greek principals of astrology.Thankfull multitude of these principals are actively practiced in the Hindu Astrology. The folks of European ancestory should read this book to learn astrology as well as to have a glimps of ancient religion of their Greek Forefathers.

"The Great Mathematicians of Bharat" emerges as a seminal work, aligning perfectly with the vision of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, which emphasizes the integration and appreciation of Indian Knowledge Systems (IKS) in contemporary education. This book meticulously documents the rich legacy of India's mathematical geniuses, serving as a crucial resource in rekindling interest and respect for Bharat's profound mathematical traditions. It underscores the symbiotic relationship between cultural ethos and scientific inquiry, highlighting how Indian mathematicians not only contributed to the field of mathematics but also how their work was deeply interwoven with Hindu spiritual and cultural practices. By chronicling the journey from ancient sages to modern masters, the book provides a comprehensive view of the evolution of mathematical thought in Bharat, thus fulfilling NEP 2020's objective of integrating indigenous knowledge with modern academic frameworks. In doing so, it not only educates but also inspires, setting a precedent for future academic endeavours to explore and celebrate India's rich intellectual heritage.

Love Between Women examines female homoeroticism and the role of women in the ancient Roman world. Employing an unparalleled range of cultural sources, Brooten finds evidence of marriages between women and establishes that condemnations of female homoerotic practices were based on widespread awareness of love between women. "An extraordinary accomplishment. . . . A definitive source for all future discussion of homoeroticism and the Bible."—Mary Rose D'Angelo, Harvard Gay & Lesbian Review "[Brooten's] convincing analysis . . . not only profoundly reshapes our understanding of the past, but it should also shape the way in which that past, particularly the early Christian texts with their immense normative weight, will be used for the future."—Anne L. Clark, Journal of Lesbian Studies "Love Between Women gives contemporary debates on sexuality a carefully delineated past. It boldly insists upon a different future, one informed by history but not tyrannized by it."—Susan Ackerman, Lambda Book Report "Fascinating, provocative and lucid. . . . Brooten has made a fundamental contribution to women's and gender studies, gay and lesbian studies, and classics."—Elizabeth A. Castelli, Women's Review of Books Winner of the Lambda Literary Award for Best Lesbian Studies Book, 1997
