The Svayambhū Purāṇa is an important text on Nepalese Buddhism, magnifying the shrine of Svayambhū. Its content is believed to have been delivered as a sermon by Śākyamuni Buddha on the Mañjuśrī Hill.
The volume deliberates on ten key points such as the narrative of the self-generated birth of the Svayambhū; mention of the Vipaśvī, a primordial Buddha; the emergence of a radiant and bejewelled lotus from the dark waters of the lake, foreshadowing the eventual manifestation of the Buddha’s shrine (caitya) at its core; delineation of devotional practices and religious observances; civilization of Mañjuśrī; and so on.
The Svayambhū Purāṇa stands as a testament to the rich spiritual and cultural heritage of the medieval Nepal Valley and unveils the sophisticated nature of Newar Buddhist Sanskrit literary output of the fifteenth century. It brings to life a vivid panorama of legends, contributing to the religious identity and historical narrative of the region. It holds an enduring influence on the religious beliefs and practices of the Newar Buddhist community. This volume, in a nutshell, is an enhancement in the accessibility of the text.

Sale!Bhagavad-Gita ₹716.00
This Exposition on the Bhagavad-Gita is an exception to the traditional translation of and commentary on the scripture. It covers all the eighteen chapters of the Gita in the form of essays, with English translation of almost all verses and commentaries thereupon. In addition, the essays do contain the reflections of the author who has analyzed the topics in the light of modern thought in a broader spectrum. The Sanskrit text in Devanagari script, with Roman transliteration, has been appended to the main text.
The Gita is not a religious book. It does not belong to any single faith. In the language of Aldous Huxley, it is the perennial philosophy of mankind. Keeping this context in view, the book has been addressed not only to the present citizens but also to the whole mankind which will inhabit the earth in the future.
This scripture had its birth in a battlefield. Symbolically speaking, everybodys life is a battleground. Arjuna represents all members of the human species. In a situation of agony and dejection, being utterly perplexed, he could not decide what to do and what not to do. The Gita provides practical solutions to the problems of life and leads the path to liberation. It humanizes and divinizes man. The present book gets success if it helps man ascend humanely and spiritually. -

Sale!Ancient Indian Scientific Thought and Modern Theories ₹315.00
The experiences and knowledge from our past are recorded in manuscripts which have been handed down to us over several thousand years. The Government of India, through the Department of Culture, took note of the importance of this vast tangible heritage and, in order to preserve and conserve as well as to make access to this wealth easy, established the National Mission for Manuscripts (NMM). In order to disseminate the knowledge content of manuscripts, the Mission has taken up several programmes such as lectures, seminars and workshops. The Mission has published the proceedings of the above-said programmes under the following series: Samraksika (on conservation), Tattvabodha (comprising lectures based on manuscripts delivered by eminent scholars), Samiksika (research-oriented papers presented in the seminars), Krtibodha (transcribed and edited texts prepared at advanced level manuscriptology workshops conducted by NMM) and Prakasika (publication of rare, unpublished manuscripts).
Ancient Indian Scientific Thought and Modern Theories makes one revisit the development of Indian science and technology in varied fields since the Vedic period, and suggests that we have a living tradition which is vivid and dynamic, inheriting at the same time claiming freedom from the past. It is the proceedings of a three-day seminar held during 25-27 March 2017 in Kolkata, organized by the Sanskrit Sahitya Parishad, Kolkata, and sponsored by NMM. This volume bears testimony to the fact that Indian sages, philosophers and scholars had a grip on all the topics that the modern-day scientists deal with, including complicated surgery and quantum mechanics. Our Vedas, Upanisads and other literary works were the storehouse of scientific wisdom, though the prevailing socio-religious conditions impeded its widespread dissemination.
This volume is expected to invoke keen interest among all who wants to know about a scientific past that Indians inherit, be a scientist or a layman.
