    This is a lost episode of Indian history. Before Bose, much before Nehru and even before Mahatma Gandhi...there was Har Dayal.On the morning of December 23rd, 1912, a powerful bomb targeted at the Viceroy Lord Hardinge exploded as he entered the new capital city of Delhi. Though the assassination bid failed it brought back the spectre of the Ghadr of 1857 and challenged the might of the British Empire. The British Secret Service connected the bomb outrage to the brain of Har Dayal (1884-1939) a former Stanford University lecturer based in San Francisco.The history of the Indian freedom struggle has produced no greater enigma than this heroic leader. Har Dayal was the architect of the largest international anti-colonial resistance movement - the Ghadr Party, with its nerve center in California. His mission was to destroy the British Empire by an armed revolt and his weapon of choice was the colossal power of his intellect. Cerebrally light-years ahead, Har Dayal a super brilliant scholar at Oxford and St. Stephen's College was eloquent in seventeen languages and an author par excellence. Exiled from India for life Har Dayal became Ghadr personified. This gentleman revolutionary was the first Indian to teach at American and Swedish universities and an extraordinary mix of an Anarchist and a Pacifist, a Sanskritist and a Rationalist, a Marxist and a Buddhist, a Feminist and a Humanist as also an ultranationalist and an internationalist. For millions who sought to emulate the quintessential Dilliwallah, he was The Great Indian Genius.

  • - Self Empowering Wisdom - Volume 3
    av Barnabas Tiburtius
    248,-

    In this information age, the need for explicit meaning in scriptures and rituals is a vital ingredient that is lacking. The literal interpretations and obligatory rituals have left a void in the individual's spiritual journey and hence, the increasing disappointment in organized religions. There are 50 articles in this book whose contents aim to provide a deeper spiritual meaning that is conveyed through certain specific symbols and themes such as Agni or Fire, Cave, Cloud, twice-born, Four beasts, Dragon, Trilogy, Hero, Charioteer, Hostile brothers, Inner demon, East, Nakedness, Reincarnation, Redemption, Deluge, Sword, and Twins. These common symbols and themes, across many mythologies and the spiritual significance they convey, are brought out so that the higher nature of man and the spiritual path one has to traverse can be indicated. The very fact that man seeks a higher and more meaningful knowledge denotes that he is on a path to exploring his true nature or awake to his true self. These symbols and themes cut across all dominant spiritual traditions such as Vedic, Buddhist, Hebraic, Christian, and Islamic religions. Symbols and Themes in Sacred Texts contain the key to unlock the spiritual treasure hidden from humanity through literal and archaic cultural interpretations.

    Peppered Minds is about the journey of a young geologist, Neeraj, beginning his professional life. His imaginative mind conjures up a thesis presented on a brainstorming session for the welfare of his countrymen and the nation. The book provides an interesting insight to explain blatant problems that contribute to the lack of innovation, misconduct and all kinds of frenzy we see around today. The writing of the book is a lighthearted account of the protagonist, Neeraj, brought up in a conservative middle-class god-fearing family, who travels from Jaipur to Hyderabad to start his professional life as a geologist. The story depicts his bitter and heartening experiences, be it meeting an astrologer, making a railway reservation, going on a rail journey from Jaipur, joining up at his new office in Hyderabad or eventually completing a successful geological expedition in the wild. Neeraj's tryst with the various characters along his brief journey brings to light the mind set, personal traits, beliefs and culture of a vast cross section of the ordinary public that span age groups ranging from the child to the octogenarian. The book depicts several interplays of events that envelope the geologists in the office as well as in the field. One of the momentous events that overwhelms Neeraj is his meeting with the Moon and learning of the unbelievable history of human existence on earth. There are also hilarious episodes, including the one which describes the use of kerosene as the basic material for nuclear research.

  • - A Telling Tale of an Indian Muslim Girl
    av Danish Ghazali
    210,-

    "They were picked up from near the explosion site and locked up together. That police post did not have a separate arrangement for ladies. She was hungry and bone-weary after that little chase. A hefty, rotund cop with a baton in hand came into their lockup again that night. Sultana could no more stand that sight. She fainted and collapsed on the floor. The cop withdrew. Manzar was still bleeding and writhing with excruciating pain. He dragged himself towards an earthen pot in that dark corner to fetch water to sprinkle on her face." Sultana is the story of an Indian Muslim girl caught in the crossfire of post-partition incertitude. It is virtually like an insider account of things that the Muslim community has grappled with for a long time after the partition of the Indian Sub-continent. A peep into their dilemmas, the challenges, the social dogmas, and a bit of fear psychosis. In parts, a telling commentary on human apathy and social retrogression.

  • - IN THE LIGHT OF THE CROSS AND THE CRESCENT: A Comparative Study on the Concept of Salvation in the Holy Quran and the Holy Bible
    av Santosh Kumar
    161,-

    Islam is often viewed as a religion which teaches Salvation by work (`amilooa). However, a closer examination of the Qur'anic teaching on soteriology seems to indicate that faith in Allah and His mercy are also crucial for one's salvation. If that is the case, then how similar or different is Qur'anic teaching from the Biblical teaching of salvation by grace through faith? The book Salvation: In the light of the Cross and the Crescent examines the concept of salvation as presented in both the Qur'an and the Bible, and is significant because it will help in understanding the concept of salvation taught in both Islam and Christianity theologically and in turn, helps to reveal the facts and correct the misunderstandings concerning soteriology of both Scriptures, bringing out the differences and similarities between the two books.
