Bhakti The Path of Divine Love
Everyone is a natural Bhaktahi devotee. The difference only lies in the fact as to what we are devoted to. Most people are devoted to earning and accumulating money, in becoming famous and powerful, in pursuits that satisfy their ego and senses and so on. While they are devotees of the world, the genuine, real Bhakta is a devotee of the Unchanging Reality, Eternal Beloved called God and wants to pour all his love towards Him and Him alone. Such is the ideal of Bhakti.This book explores the rich Bhakti-traditions and describes various aspects of it.
A Traveller in an Unknown Land
“A Traveller in an Unknown Land” is not merely the autobiography of a world-renowned mathematician and researcher; it is an unfailing guide for people from all walks of life—a lesson for the next generation, a powerful philosophy in itself. How he rose from a remote village in a newly independent nation to become a towering figure in the world of mathematics—this book stands as a remarkable testimony to that journey. It also presents the astonishing story of how his mathematical research opened one new horizon after another in medical science. Above all, he has generously opened up the vast treasure of his work for general readers through this book. This book, therefore, shines like a beacon of light. The author’s honesty, clarity, and purity of heart illuminate every word within these pages. Like a sculptor, he has carved into the body of the book—bit by bit—the struggles of his blood and sweat: the story of his conquest of the world. Despite receiving numerous national and international honours, he remains a humble, grounded human being. In these fractured times, “A Traveller in an Unknown Land” will undoubtedly show the right path.

'Charaiveti' (Vivekananda's Dialogue on People, Politics & Space)
Vivekananda had travelled within India as a 'parivrajaka' (the travelling monk) from 1888 to 1893 and in May 1893 crossed the 'kalapani' (crossing the inland water boundary) to represent India in the Parliament of World's Religion held in Chicago. This incident led to many more travels within India and the West. He was a traveller who left his impressions, views and observations in the form of letters, diaries and memoirs. A close study of such documents, as well as secondary materials, leads to questions of imperialism, identity, self-other dichotomy, comparative religion, women and acculturation.
Nondualism
The time has come for nondualism. As a fundamentally unifying concept, nondualism may seem out of place in an age of rising nationalism and bitter deglobalization, but our current debates over tribalism and universalism all grant nondualism an informative relevance. Nondualism rejects both separation and identity, thereby encouraging unity-in-difference. Yet “nondualism” as a word occupies a large semantic field. Nondual theists advocate the unity of humankind and God, while nondual atheists advocate the inseparability of all persons, without reference to a divinity. Ecological nondualism asserts that we are in nature and nature is in us, while monistic nondualists assert that only God exists and all difference is illusion. Edited by Jon Paul Sydnor and Anthony Watson, and guided by scholars from different religions and specializations, Nondualism: An Interreligious Exploration explores the semantic field that nondualism occupies. The collection elicits the expansive potential of the concept, clarifies agreement and disagreement, and considers current applications. In every case, nondualism is universal in its relevance yet always distinctive in its contribution.
