Book excerpt: Puranas Reimagined: Attaining Enlightenment Through Samudra Manthan shares a new perspective of the popular folklore of Samudra Manthan cited in the Holy Scriptures. It draws an allegory between the religious folktale of the Daityas, the Devtas and the celestial gifts with inner sciences of spirituality. Each celestial gift obtained, such as Airawat, Kalpvriksha, Shankh, etc., in the tale, is considered as an amazing psychic power or Siddhi. The miraculous powers can be developed by an individual following the Ashthang Yoga or the eight-fold path of yoga. Further, following extensive research, the book highlights astounding anecdotes from the lives of revered Holy Saints who had engaged the said Siddhi in their life. In the words of Galileo: “All truths are easy to understand, once they are discovered; the point is to discover them.” The book comprehends and shares a new dimension of the truth of the immortal tale.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Legend of Shara records the story of a deity from the third millennium BC. It explains how multiple religions, like Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, came to absorb a story well-understood by many followers of Hinduism. We explore the Hindu origins of the early Torah and its deep Puranic roots along with the historical backdrop that produced the Patriarchs, the stories of David, and finally, Exodus. How closely are these stories tied to Puranic equivalents, and why do they follow the same structure and function that we see in Hindu MahaPuranas like the Matsya Purana? From its origins in the Rig Veda, we trace the flow of the legend of Shara along with the rest of its Puranic backdrop into the Hurrian lands. From here, we explore the journey into Judah and its return with the rise of Judaism in the Middle East.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book presents a rich and surprising account of the recent history of the north Indian city of Banaras. Supplementing traditional accounts, which have focused upon the city’s religious imaginary, this volume brings together essays written by acknowledged experts in north Indian culture and history to examine the construction of diverse urban identities in, and after, the British colonial period. Drawing on fields such as archaeology, literature, history, and architecture, these accounts of Banaras understand the narratives which inscribe the city as having been forged substantially in the experiences of British rule. But while British rule transformed the city in many respects, the essays also emphasize the importance of Indian agency in these processes. The book also examines the essential ambiguity of modernization schemes in the city as well as the contingency of elements of religious narrative. The introduction, moreover, attempts to resituate Banaras into a wider tradition of urban studies in South Asia. The book will be of interest to not only scholars and students of north Indian culture and urban history, but also anyone looking to gain a deeper appreciation of this remarkable, and complex, city.
