Sale!Agneya-Kona of Bharatavarsha ₹990.00
The book focuses on the cultural developments of Agneya-Kona (the south-east India) and their contributions to the development of humanity, and highlights the concocted history of Bharatavarsha, especially of Agneya-Kona.
The author projects many artefacts to substantiate his theory. Many archaeological findings Þ the pre-historic rock painting of Gudahandi, images of female figurines, along with circular discs, and nude female figurines are cases in point. Female principle was worshipped in the Mahanadi Valley both in aniconic and iconic forms.
Agneya-Kona has contributed significantly to the growth of the tantric worship. In the pre-historic rock painting of Gudahandi, there is a trace of Yoga, especially Kundalini Yoga. The book details the spiritual and yogic culture of Orissa, the formative phase of Purushottama Jagannatha culture, the impact of Narasimha culture, yoni tantra traditions of the Central Mahanadi Valley and the spiritual relationship of Kalahandi with Candipur Tara-Pitha of Birbhum.
A Sumerian temple that imbibed the form of Lord Purushottama Jagannatha is in highlight, and the author makes a strong statement that the culture of the region is older than the Sumerian Civilization.
The book is a source of inspiration for archaeologists and historians, who want to study more about south-east India, and students, teachers and researchers of arts and culture. -

प्रस्तुत पुस्तक के द्वारा भारत के स्वतंत्रता संघर्ष में बुन्देलखण्ड की जनता के योगदान को सामने लाने का प्रयास किसा गया है। गांधीजी की बुन्देलखण्ड यात्रा एवं ओरछा के समीप सतार नदी के किनारे चन्द्रशेखर आजाद के हरिशंकर ब्रह्मचारी के नाम से कुटिया बनाकर रहने से समस्त बुन्देलखण्ड में तेजी से राष्ट्रवादी भावनाओं का प्रसार हुआ। 1923 के झण्डा सत्याग्रह एवं 1930 के जंगल सत्याग्रह में बुन्देलखण्ड के लोगों ने बढ़-चढ़कर भाग लिया। ब्रिटिश भक्त देशी रियासत के राजाओं ने जब जनता पर अत्याचार किया तो जनता ने प्रजामण्डल की स्थापना कर उनका विरोध किया। इसी विरोध के फलस्वरूप संक्रांति के मेले के दिन 14 जनवरी 1931 को छतरपुर जिले में जलियाॅवाला बाग की तरह ही चरण-पादुका हत्याकाण्ड घटित हुआ। पं. माखनलाल चतुर्वेदी ने कर्मवीर समाचार पत्र के माध्यम से 1920 में रतौना में खोले जाने वाले कसाई खाने का इतना प्रखर विरोध किया कि सरकार को घबराकर अपनी कसाईखाना खोलने की योजना त्यागनी पड़ी। यह एक ओर बुन्देलखण्ड की धरती पर अंग्रेजों की करारी शिकस्त थी, तो दूसरी ओर पं. माखनलाल चतुर्वेदी की पत्रकारिता की महत्वपूर्ण जीत थी।
सागर के भाई अब्दुलगनी, ज्वाला प्रसाद ज्योतिषी, केशवराव खाण्डेकर एवं मास्टर बलदेव प्रसाद, दमोह के भैयालाल चैधरी, अजयगढ़ पन्ना के चंदीदीन चैरहा, छतरपुर के पं. रामसहाय तिवारी, टीकमगढ़ के लालाराम वाजपेयी एवं झांसी के भगवानदास माहौर आदि ने बुन्देलखण्ड के स्वतंत्रता संघर्ष को गति, दिशा एवं अर्थ प्रदान किया। इन्हें पं. द्वारका प्रसाद मिश्र एवं पं. सुन्दरलाल तपस्वी का कुशल नेतृत्व एवं मार्गदर्शन मिला। गोवा मुक्ति आन्दोलन में भी सागर की सहोद्राराय एवं केसरी चन्द मेहता सहित अनेक सत्याग्रहियों ने गोवा जाकर आन्दोलन को सफल बनाया। उक्त सभी घटनाक्रम की रोचक, सहज, सरल, सुबोध एवं तथ्यपरक जानकारी इस पुस्तक में दी गई है। छात्रों, शोधार्थियों, शिक्षक बन्धुओं सहित प्रत्येक वर्ग के लोगों को यह पुस्तक ज्ञानवर्धक एवं रुचिकर लगेगी। -
Sale!Bharat Ka Pragatihaas evam Adhya-Itihaas ₹234.00
Fresh excavations, new dating techniques and ever-growing conceptual frameworks since 1950 have greatly reshaped our perspective on Prehistory and Protohistory of the Indian subcontinent. This monograph, which is primarily aimed to serve as a starter for the undergraduate and postgraduate students, presents, in a concise but comprehensive manner, a syncretic view of the latest information on various aspects such as tools and technologies, settlement and subsistence patterns, ecological background and distributional configuration in respect of the Stone Age and the Chalcolithic Cultures outside the Harappan Zone. The Megalithic Cultures of peninsular India and the Deccan too find a place in the book. A glossary of the terms used frequently in archaeology as well as maps, line-drawings and explanatory notes on individual sites add further value to the text.

The book thus delves deep into the philosophies of both Bdaryaa and akara in enunciating the essential features of Brahman and Its association with the world. It thus discusses topics such as what sort of cause Brahman is?, and what sort of material causality is to be ascribed to It? It also addresses the conflicting views on the nature of Brahman like that of Vivarttavda and of Rmnuja’s Sagua-Brahman.

Sale!Ancient Movements of Indo-Aryans and Indo-Aranians ₹585.00
In an attempt to explore the ancient history of Central Asia and of the movement of ancient peoples, the work examines the affinities and interactions of the people who called themselves Arya, that is, the Indo-Aryans and the Indo-Iranians, with other peoples and nations of the ancient world, like the Semites, the Hurrians and the Medes. It delves into the processes of acculturation when people of different cultures came in contact with each other at a time that goes back to the very earliest of times (ninth or tenth millennium bce). It examines the movements of the Indo-Aryans and the Indo-Iranians across Asia and their neighbours and active trade partners like the Sumerians, the people of Mesopotamia and the Harappans. It thus throws light on the interactions of the early Indo-Aryans and Indo-Iranians with other flourishing central Asian civilisations of the time. It cites references to ancient traditions that still prevail among peoples in different cultures from different parts of the world, pointing out how these testify to the continuity of ancient traditions and, importantly, the ancient interaction between cultures.
Well-researched and with accurate references to time periods, this scholarly work will deeply interest scholars and students of history and anthropology concerned with the earliest origin of cultures and cultural interactions.
