The oldest yoga institute in the world now brings you the ultimate Sattvik cookbook that will enhance your positivity quotient and become an inseparable part of your life. Ancient Indian texts say that the trigunas-Sattva, Rajas and Tamas-pervade the universe and the human mind. Food that is Sattva is pure, happy, energizing, vitalizing and fulfilling; rajas is stimulating, passionate, ambitious and domineering; and tamas is dull, inactive, heavy and impure. Food influences the mind directly, but the mind can also influence the kind of food you desire. Hence, it's easy for the mind to spiral in a particular direction. Of the three food spirals, only Sattvik has the power that can propel you to a state of happiness, contentment and full of positive energy. The recipes revealed in this book will help you derive the benefits of Sattvik foods along with them being super tasty. In Sattvik cooking, for example, natural sweeteners are most important as they stimulate vata, the primary dosha that controls the other two doshas-pitta and kapha. The recipes will enable millennials to embrace Sattvik food by infusing them with modern-day cuisines from India and around the world, while also understanding the science behind it. Sattvik Cooking uses humble Indian kitchen ingredients to unleash the mind, body and spiritual powers of ancient Vedic foods. The unique selection of recipes will not only satisfy the palates of all age groups, but will also be hugely beneficial for fitness enthusiasts.

In ancient India, when people wanted to teach spiritual lessons, they did so through symbolic stories. The Bhagavad Gītā is one such story. Gītā refers to poems that are sung and Bhagavad means God or the Self. So the Bhagavad Gītā is known as the Song of God. This version of the full e-publication of the Bhagavad Gītā has been divided into three separate e-books mirroring the three volumes of the original print. Volume 3, Chapters XIII-XVIII, focuses on Jñāna Yoga, the yoga of knowledge.

The Nobel Prize-winning author delivers an impassioned and prescient travelogue of his journeys through his ancestral homeland. • “An intricate, splendid, and utterly memorable book.” —The New York Times Book Review Arising out of Naipaul’s lifelong obsession and passion for a country that is at once his and totally alien, India: A Million Mutinies Now relates the stories of many of the people he met traveling there more than fifty years ago. He explores how they have been steered by the innumerable frictions present in Indian society—the contradictions and compromises of religious faith, the whim and chaos of random political forces. This book represents Naipaul’s last word on his homeland, complementing his two other India travelogues, An Area of Darkness and India: A Wounded Civilization.

What is the Bhagavad-Gita? Is it just a religious text? When was it composed? How relevant is it to the modern world? This book answers these foundational questions and more. It critically examines the Bhagavad-Gita in terms of its liberal, humanist and inclusive appeal, bringing out its significance for both present times and novel applications. The author elaborates the philosophy underlying the text as well as its ethical and spiritual implications. He also responds to criticisms that have been levelled against the text by Ambedkar, D. D. Kosambi and, more recently, Amartya Sen. With additional material including chapter summaries of the Bhagavad-Gita, the second edition of the volume proposes new ways of utilising the text in diverse fields, such as business and management and scientific research. Eclectic and accessible, this work will be of interest to scholars of philosophy, religion, history, business and management studies, as well as the general reader.

This free-flowing narrative illuminates the journey of the author, a devout Muslim, through sacred books and holy men of all religions---starting with his own---in search of a personal god and faith, and his coming upon the Bhagavad Gītā. Examining commentaries on this text, from Sankara to Abdur Rahman Chishti, alongside some renderings of the Quran here, Moosa Raza finds many common threads: summoning God through sādhanā or dhikr; reaching God through daan or giving and the service of the destitute; and seeking ecstasy through self-mastery, detachment and surrender. These original observations are complemented by his encounters with people practising these values, like his ailing school teacher who felt God was always behind him or his friend, a senior civil servant, who, trusting in Allah’s providence, kept an open home for the poor and the homeless. Through these experiences and his own striving, Raza celebrates the oneness and power of faith and spirituality, showing a path for other seekers.

The world is in a crises. Human health is an issue. The longevity of humans may have increased but they are not healthy. Why people in old age has to use a walker and carry a bag of Urine and a diaper full of excreta? Modern medicine may have progressed in military science especially surgery but it has very little to offer for healthy living. Pandemic from China: This pandemic from China has exposed the myth that good health care infrastructure is not a sign of good health. The fact is that providing food is not enough if it is not healthy and does not boost immunity. But what is right food? India had lowest rate of fatalities in this Pandemic and it is not due to squalor. It is due to personal hygiene and the herbal food which people of India take which is based on the principles of Sanatan Dharma and Ayurveda. What are the core principles and how any person can take advantage of these principles has been explained in depth in this book. Sanatan Dharma is not a belief. It is a human science. This book explains this science of life step by step. Not a religion: When we talk about Sanatan Dharma there is a tremendous amount of intellectualization. There is this sect against that sect. There is this practice placed against that practice. It is made out as if the rituals define the Dharma. The rituals do not determine the doctrine. Doctrine is diagnosis of the ailment which has been diagnosed. Now all these sects, practices and rituals are different experiments to deal with the different problems. Follow no ritual. Follow yourself and see what is making you unhealthy and even sick. Stick to the principles and continue with your own religious belief but do take care of your health. It is even better if you are healthy. Read the book and know what you are doing right. The practices which are prescribed with fancy names like Spirituality, Mindfulness or Inner Engineering are components of Sanatan Dharma. Just like Yoga, whose name mercifully remains same. The obvious reason in renaming is two fold. One that religion is a politics without votes and Hinduism is wrongly considered as religion. Secondly the only ancient civilization which so far survived barbaric invasions and conversion war by other religions and which war is still going on, is not to be glorified as part of the war strategy. Hence no credit is to be given to it and what is borrowed from it is to be credited to Greek or anybody or anything except India. But think about it. How WE survived? It has to have an innate strength? Should the world not study it for it’s own good? The Pandemic proved the point for the world though spin masters are busy claiming that poor hygiene is responsible for the low mortality rate in India. As matter of fact poor have also died in the Pandemic along with those with co-morbidities. In the matter of personal hygiene an Indians excel by habit. Daily bathing is part of ritual of living. It does not matter what the weather or place is but daily bathing is a matter of routine for every Indian. Similarly keeping surrounding clean, washing hands before eating or cooking, not eating from other’s plate etc. are the habits that are hard wired into an Indian. Add this to the habit of eating healthy nutritious and yet spicy food and you almost had it. But that is not it. There is more to it. This book deals with core principles of Sanatan Dharma which give it’s people a long and healthy life without much need for western medication. It may save your life in this ongoing Pandemic. Note: The book does not render and medical or other advice but is merely sharing a personal experience of the author.
