पञ्चगतिदीपनी पालि ब्रह्माण्डीय साहित्य (Pāli Cosmological Literature) का एक महत्त्वपूर्ण ग्रन्थ है। मुख्यतः पञ्चगतिदीपनी बौद्ध-संस्कृत ग्रन्थ षड्गतिकारिका का पालि भाषान्तर है। परम्परा के अनुसार बौद्ध महाकवि अश्वघोष को षड्गतिकारिका का रचनाकार माना जाता है। भारत में इस ग्रन्थ का सम्बन्ध वात्सीयपुत्रीय-सम्मितीय सम्प्रदाय से था। कालान्तर में नौवीं से बारहवीं शताब्दी के बीच षड्गतिकारिका का चीनी, तिब्बती, एवं पालि में भाषान्तर किया गया। षड्गतिकारिका का भाषान्तर पालि में सबसे पहले छगतिदीपनी के नाम से बारहवीं शताब्दी के आसपास म्यांमार (बर्मा) में किया गया। पुनः इस ग्रन्थ को थेरवाद परम्परा-सम्मत बनाने के लिए छगतिदीपनी से पञ्चगतिदीपनी के रूप में पुनरुद्धार किया गया। सम्प्रति पाँच कण्ड में विभाजित पञ्चगतिदीपनी में 114 गाथाएं हैं। इस ग्रन्थ का मुख्य विषय नरक, पशु, प्रेत, मनुष्य, और देव नामक पाँच गतियों में कर्म के आधार पर होने वाले प्राणियों के जन्म का कारण तथा वहाँ होने वाले सुख और दुःख को सरल भाषा, पारलौकिक विषय-वस्तु, एवं कुछ अतिरजनाओं के साथ बतलाना है। प्रस्तुत आलोचनात्मक संस्करण पञ्चगतिदीपनी का देवनागरी पाठ, हिन्दी अनुवाद, टिप्पणी, मूल स्रोत, एवं भूमिका के रूप में पालि ब्रह्माण्डीय साहित्य पर एक विशद विवरण प्रस्तुत करता है।

The crisis of the age inheres in this, that notwithstanding the century’s mind-numbing disasters, it persists in subscribing to propositions which have logically led to the atomization of the whole cloth of human experiencing, and being. Great indeed is the value which is placed on the procedure of analytic dismemberment. While the method has certainly been result-producing, materially, in its wake it has brought immense suffering – both physical and spiritual. The price paid for a lopsided advance is thirty major wars – with their toll of one hundred and thirty million lives, and the irreparable destruction of the natural environment. The time demands a reappraisal of the basic paradigms of human existence, but the hegemony of well-entrenched vested interests – material or intellectual – would seem to preclude this.
The “advanced” people among the mankind of the day become suicidally specialized. For, if the mechanical model of thought has been of advantage in man’s preceding unfolding, the same, what may be called the “survival” paradigm, now creates dangerous dualities, binary oppositions (you–me, body–mind, East–West, etc). The model has outlived its usefulness merely enforcing dormancy on a major part of the human brain.
It behoves mankind to choose wisely right now – since parallel to the socio-economic, scientific and technological revolutions there has got to be the overdue radical psychic transformation. The first step towards clearing the fateful crisis would therefore be to be aware and end the hold of the linear, causal, mechanical thought orientation over the intellectual culture of the times.
Delving deep into the epistemological cum ontological causation of the emergency confronting the being and becoming of man, this volume provokes the thoughtful lay reader to a serious engagement with his or her self. - Sale!Reflections on Indian Thought Original price was: ₹850.00.₹765.00Current price is: ₹765.00.
This anthology, consisting of fourteen essays, deals with a variety of themes that are of central importance for an authentic appreciation of the philosophical core of the Indian culture. The readers will find here illuminating discussions on various issues that bear witness to the critical thinking and deep reflection on the part of the author that have enabled her to carefully expose the subtle internal divergences that nourish the Indian conceptual world.
Based on arduous and painstaking research, these essays focus on a range of topics. There are several essays on multiple aspects of the large themes of time and consciousness, penetrating analysis showing how in the ancient discourse ideas of klesha (affliction), abhyasa (practice) and karuna (compassion) as well as on women and values are dealt with. There are also deliberations on the themes of religious diversity and the need for an encounter of world religions along with the attempt to explore India’s self-image. All these have contemporary relevance, as these essays clearly bring out the distinctive character of a living culture. - Sale!Sallekhana Original price was: ₹1,200.00.₹1,080.00Current price is: ₹1,080.00.
Jainism regards life to be eternal. Recognizing that the soul can never die, but merely takes a new body, a careful tradition welcoming death through intentional fasting developed more than two thousand years ago. A legal challenge Rajasthan was put forward in 2013, suggesting that this practice is harmful and coercive and targets women in particular. For a short while Sallekhanā, which means the “thinning of existence,” was declared illegal. In response to this controversy, three conferences were convened by the International School for Jain Studies to explore the legal, religious, and medical aspects of this practice. Experts discussed the long history of the practice, attested to in epigraphs throughout India; the ways in which fasting to death has become an acceptable practice in the Western world; and contemporary instances of its observance in India. This volume presents an interdisciplinary approach to thinking about the end of life, from biomedical, historical, religious, and legal perspectives.

“The Vedānta has been rightly called the Finest Fruit of Indian Thought and the Upaniṣads as the Finer Flowers. Vedānta grows out of the teachings of the Upaniṣads and passes into the various systems in the writings of Śaṅkara, Bhāskara, Rāmānuja, Madhva and Vallabha, the great founders of Advaita, Bhedābheda, Viśiṣṭādvaita, Dvaitādvaita and Śuddhādvaita, respectively. However, there is a perception among Orientalists that while the Upaniṣads favour the Monistic doctrine, Bādarāyaṇa’s Brahmasūtra fundamentally opposes it on some of the most crucial points.
The book thus delves deep into the philosophies of both Bādarāyaṇa and Śaṅkara 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 Vivarttavāda and of Rāmānuja’s Saguṇa-Brahman.
This book proposes to take up the question of Universal Causation to examine thoroughly as how far it is right to regard Brahman as the Universal Cause and how far sūtrakāra himself lent his support to each of the inter-conflicting schools of Vedānta. This book should, therefore, benefit all who are devoted to the philosophic teachings of Advaita Vedānta and its preceptors.” - Sale!Abhinavaguptas Hermeneutics of the Absolute Original price was: ₹1,800.00.₹1,620.00Current price is: ₹1,620.00.
The Paratrishika Vivarana by the great Kashmiri philosopher and mystic Abhinavagupta is an extensive commentary on the Paratrishika Tantra, and it is one of the most profound texts, not only of non-dualist Kashmir Shaivism, but of Indian philosophy and mysticism in general. The present work attempts to make this difficult text accessible, by culling out the important themes and offering an interpretation. The main focus is on the understanding of the Absolute (Anuttara) and the ways to realize it. The central theme of mantra also leads to a mysticism of language with its philosophical implications. All these reflections and practices are inscribed in the theory that everything is related to the totality, every part contains the whole of reality (sarvam sarvatmakam). It is this holistic vision of Abhinavagupta, based on the Tantras, which makes this work so relevant in our times of fragmented aspects of life and knowledge in search of integration. No doubt, in the view of the Tantra and of Abhinavagupta, language and mantra provide the key.
This fascinating book is an important contribution to studies and interpretations on Kashmir Shaivism, its spirituality and philosophy, and on Abhinavagupta in particular.

Praise and Overview of the Pancagatidīpaṇī
The Pancagatidīpaṇī is a remarkable and revered Pali text attributed to the great Burmese scholar-monk Ledi Sayadaw. This profound work sheds light on the concept of the “Five Destinations” (pañca gati) in Buddhist cosmology — namely, hell beings, animals, hungry ghosts (peta), humans, and celestial beings (devas). These are the realms into which beings are reborn based on their karma.
Ledi Sayadaw, known for his deep insight and clarity, composed this text to help both monks and lay practitioners understand the nature of rebirth and the karmic causes that lead to different types of existences. The book is written in a concise yet illuminating manner, making complex Abhidhamma teachings accessible to a broader audience.
The Pancagatidīpaṇī is not only a philosophical treatise but also a moral guide, encouraging virtuous conduct, mindfulness, and the pursuit of liberation from the cycle of birth and death. Its wisdom continues to inspire those who walk the path of Dhamma.

Prof. Ramesh Prasad –
The basic purpose of Buddhism is to get happiness in our life. The book pañcagatidīpanī, edited by professor Ujjwal Kumar, will help to understand it. Buddhist scriptures emphasize to refrain from unwholesome deeds and engage in doing moral deeds only with purity of mind. We are the product of immoral and moral deeds i.e. kamma done by us in our previous life. This book mainly highlights the five LOKAs such as manussa loka, deva loka, pasu loka, peta loka and naraka loka. Prof. Kumar has not only transcripted and edited it in Devanāgarī script, but also presented with exhaustive introduction which makes the book special and inspires the reader to get it for knowing the cosmology in new perspective.
One thing I didn’t understand is why the word पञ्चगत followed by question mark has been written in the side of the book.
