Book Description
“Gorgeously illustrated throughout . . . A powerfully dramatic retelling of a Hindu epic.” —Kirkus Reviews Delve into the world of Hindu mythology in this beautifully illustrated modern retelling of the classic epic Ramayana. In the majestic conclusion to this one-of-a-kind trilogy, the saga of the Ramayana finally comes to an end. The Ramayana, one of the longest ancient epics in the world, is rendered into modern form in Destroyer of Sorrow, which finishes off the sacred story, as Rama finally returns to Ayodhya, after fourteen long years of exile, to assume his rightful place as king. “Magnificent, riveting, and heart-wrenching.” —Jai Uttal, Grammy Award-nominated musician “What Vrinda Sheth has done with this adaptation is incredible. She writes with the pace of a thriller and the sensitivity of a poet. It’s a combination that illuminates this classic with an extraordinary new light.” —Mukunda Michael Dewil, director of Vehicle 19

Book Description
Deeply contemplative and inspiring, this book is a compilation of two highly revered texts in Advaita (Non-Duality). The first is a commentary on the selected names of the Divine Mother from the Lalita Sahasran?ma and the second is a commentary on Adi Shankara’s Dak?i??m?rti Stotram. Lalita Sahasran?ma is a treasure house of the knowledge of Sri Vidya. Seekers of all kinds, yogis, tantrics, and non-dualists alike, are drawn to it. Each name of the Goddess is packed with profound meaning - the gross, the subtle, and the subtlest. In his commentary, Sri Srinivasa Rao focuses on 108 of the 1000 names of the Goddess, and expounds on the most hidden and subtlest of the meanings of each name. Dak?i??m?rti Stotram is a crown jewel among Shankara’s hymns with the entire Advaita doctrine packed into ten profound verses. This book is a blend of Shaiva Advaita (aka Kashmir Shaivism) and Shankara Advaita. Sri Srinivasa Rao’s penetrating vision did not see any differences in the essential message of these apparently different genres of texts. According to him, “Advaita Vedanta is not different from the Sri Vidya of the Shaiva Advaita because both culminate in the union of the finite self with the Infinite.” “The texts discussed in this book are among the serious passages in Vedanta. Sri Yellamraju has excelled in capturing the essence of the highest concepts of Vedanta in as simple terms as possible. The outcome of the study of Vedanta, as Sri Yellamraju writes in his epilogue to the Stotram, is to attain sarv?tmabhava, the experience of the self in all beings, a very egalitarian idea which is unique to Upanishadic thought.” – Dr. K. Aravinda Rao

Short inspirational readings based on India’s Thousand Names of Vishnu give us warm, personal reminders to support us spiritually in our daily lives. Most of the world’s major religions have a tradition celebrating the Holy Names of God, and in Hinduism one of the most popular is the Thousand Names of Vishnu. Easwaran grew up hearing and reciting these names as a child, and for him they were a constant reminder that these is a spark of divinity in everyone. Here he has selected some of the names and added a personal, practical commentary on what each name means in daily living. The result is a warm, uplifting book for those who want to see God In the faces and events of everyday life.

Book Description
What has shaped this book is a heartfelt concern for the young of the world. The underlying impulse has been to share with young minds,the insights and reflections the author has gathered from Eastern and Western thought and from his own encounters with life. The book does not speak so much about success as it is understood in today's world, but rather explores the wellsprings of true inner fulfilment. It contains ethical and transformative pointers for the young and is hoped to be a handbook on life or a compass for living. Core issues like the rational ground of human values, the inner make-up of the human personality,the basic deviations within the humankind, the ideal of religious harmony and the means of approaching it etc. have been discussed.Topics of vital interest to the young such as personal growth, gender characteristics, love and marriage, the grave ecological situation demanding urgent and effective responses etc. are also dealt with.
