Valmiki Ramayana – Critical Essays
₹250.00This book critically engages with several important events and statements found in Valmiki’s epic poem, the Ramayana composed over 2500 years ago. Though certain methods were followed to preserve the Vedic texts, no serious methods were adopted to preserve the text of Ramayana. The poem spread to all parts of India and beyond through narrators of the epic who sometimes added their own explanatory verses to conform to local customs and traditions. In the second half of the 20th century, scholars at the Baroda Oriental Research Institute, after many years of labour and examination of over 2000 different manuscripts, compiled what is now accepted as the most reliable version of the poem. Based on this critical edition, a condensed English version by Dr Parameswaran was earlier published by the Manipal University Press. In the present book, Dr Parameswaran reviews the critical interpretations of scholars like Sheldon Pollock, R P Goldman and Wendy Doniger and has analytic responses to many unanswered questions. About the book: Dr M R Parameswaran has taught Mathematics as well as Sanskrit at the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg, Canada. His work Studies in Srivaishnavism, has been well received by academic scholars and Srivaishnavas.

The simple and captivating style of this work is sure to ignite the interest in the readers to conduct further study in detail. This work is not only regarded as a standard textbook of Dvaita studies, but also considered as a basic authentic work in the Dvaita dialectic literature.

Its discussion on the standpoints of other schools on various topics and their criticism is not much detailed. However, it is systematized and presented in an easily comprehendible style that can make even a novice understand the intricacies of Dvaita epistemology. The unique commentary skill of Sri Jayatirtha comprises of profound scholarship, style of exposition, lucid language, commitment to the original author, views on opposition with thorough knowledge, logical integrity, appropriate and comprehensive method of thinking.

The Wisdom Behind Surgical Aphorisms
What the masters tell us₹290.00This book aims to accomplish the following goals:
– To provide timely advice to surgeons both young and old in times of clinical dilemma
– To reiterate the well-established principles of clinical surgery like meticulous history taking, diligent examination, and keen observation
– To reassure budding surgeons that apprehension and self-doubt are not new and can be overcome by perseverance
– To warn the younger generation that the basic principles like a thorough knowledge of anatomy have not become obsolete with the advent of technology
– Above all, to emphasize that surgery is as much an art as it is science and is a vocation that is fulfilling in the truest sense
Hands-on training in clinical skills is being increasingly neglected. The advent of competitive MCQ-based exams to gain entry into postgraduate training has made young medical graduates more intent on collecting facts than skills. Hence, young surgeons of today are ill-prepared to face the real world filled with uncertainties. This book is written primarily to guide these young and unsure surgeons, through the fatherly advice contained in the aphorisms. Of course, the wisdom behind the aphorisms is timeless and could be inculcated by the young and the old alike.

Karakarthaprabodhini
₹345.00Kaumud? (water lily) is the primer to study Sanskrit grammar, yet an ardent reader might find it a maze to untangle from its complexities. There is a need of Kaumud? (moonlight) to blossom it and show the light to reach its core. K?rak?rtha-prabodhin? is such an attempt. K?raka, a factor that determines the relation between verb and the constituent words of a sentence, enables the reader to understand the intent of the sentence and thus critical discourses too. The Sanskrit grammatical texts and discourses have elaborated on the subtleties of K?raka. Due to its profundity, there was a need for a lucid writing for the scholars and students for easy comprehension, which can be a reference book. Dr Potti made this possible for the Malayalam readers. Dr Shivani presents it for the Sanskrit fraternity too, with an introduction by Dr Varakhedi.

The Semi-detached European
₹350.00The European Union has emerged as a world economic power from the ashes of the Second World War. Starting with the post-war settlement, the book takes a broad and informed view of Britain?s changing relationship with this dynamic development. The successful attempt to revive democracy and establish economic recovery in Western Europe was fuelled by Franco-German reconciliation but Britain remained benevolently aloof. Britain?s own recovery was not as successful as that of the emerging ?Common Market?, and so Britain?s political elite looked to Europe to replace the markets it was losing worldwide only to be spurned by her long-time rival France. Thereon, Britain played an influential role, especially in the development of the ?internal market?. However, Britain never quite lost the tag of being semi-detached ? wanting to take the benefits but always wary of surrendering national sovereignty for the alleged greater good. This book reviews the vital role played by major actors in Europe?s integration, including the decisive duel between Margaret Thatcher and Jacques Delors about the nature of the Europe. It provides an assessment of the epoch-making events of the fall of Berlin Wall which opened the possibility of a reunited Europe.In this book, the author also describes his own Europeanization as a student, then as an active politician who engaged in Europe?s transformation first-hand.

Sringara in Subandhu and Nemichandra
₹430.00Author: Mahaling Bhat, Editor: N Thirumaleshwara Bhat
The Vāsavadattā by Subandhu and the Līlāvati Prabandham by Nēmicandra are two renowned Campū Kāvyas (epic poem) in Kannada, which can be traced back to the early half of 700 BCE. K Mahalinga Bhat published a comprehensive analysis of the epic poems in 1966, situating the original works in their cultural and historical contexts. This book highlights the folk-tale motifs, the characterization and delineation of various Rasas, and analyzes the language of the epics. It also includes excerpts in Sanskrit from both works, accompanied by prose translations.
The original stories are characterized by the element of Śṙṅgāra (Romance). In this book, the aspect of romance in the narratives and the lives of the protagonists is seen through a contemporary lens. It highlights societal conditions and norms prevalent between 700 to 600 BCE in Vāsavadattā and Līlāvati Prabandham in a different light. This new edition compiled by N Thirumaleshwara Bhat draws attention to the relevance of epic poems today and the universality of their narrative.

State Matters- Kannada Sub-Nationalism and State Formation
₹430.00Author: Rajendra Chenni
State Matters: Kannada Subnationalism and State Formation analyzes the formation of a linguistic state and the inevitability of the contradictions arising from material and historical conditions. It examines the historical and political context which led to the emergence and acceptance of linguistic or regional identities during the freedom struggle, a struggle which ironically tried to subsume these identities into one master discourse of the nation.
This book, traversing disciplinary boundaries, weaves complex disparate elements into the concept of linguistic subnationality. It underlines how linguistic subnationality is sustained against the push and pull of caste/class hegemony, national party-based politics, and larger forces of development and globalization.
