ಕನಕದಾಸರ ಜೀವನವೇ ಸಮನ್ವಯತೆಯ ಪ್ರತಿಬಿಂಬವಾಗಿತ್ತು. ಹುಟ್ಟಿದ್ದು ಕುರುಬರ ಮನೆತನದಲ್ಲಿ; ಬೆಳೆದದ್ದು ಸಂಸಾರದ ಜಂಜಾಟದ ರಾಜಕೀಯ ಪರಿಸರದಲ್ಲಿ; ಜೀವನದ ಕೊನೆ ಕೊನೆಗೆ ಒಡನಾಟವನ್ನಿಟ್ಟುಕೊಂಡದ್ದು ಬ್ರಾಹ್ಮಣರ ಪರಿಸರದಲ್ಲಿ, ಅಂತಿಮವಾಗಿದ್ದದ್ದು ದಾಸಭಾವದ ನೆಲೆಗಟ್ಟಿನಲ್ಲಿ. ಹೀಗಾಗಿ, ಅವರು ಒಂದು ನೆಲೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ತಮ್ಮ ಸಮಗ್ರ ಜೀವನವನ್ನು ನಡೆಸಲಿಲ್ಲ. ಆದರೆ, ಅವರಿಗಿದ್ದುದು ಸಾಧಕನ ನೆಲೆ. ಹುಟ್ಟಿದ್ದು ಬೆಳೆದಿದ್ದು ನಾಯಕನ ಕುಲದಲ್ಲಿ, ಜೀವನದ ಹರೆಯ ಹಾಗೂ ಕೊನೆಯ ಕಾಲದಲ್ಲಿ ದೇವರ ದಾಸನಾಗುವ ಲವಲವಿಕೆಯನ್ನು ಬೆಳೆಸಿಕೊಂಡಿದ್ದು; ದ್ವೇಷ, ಕ್ರೌರ್ಯಗಳ ದಟ್ಟಿ ನಿಂದ ಭಕ್ತಿಯ ಮೆಟ್ಟಿಲುಗಳೆಡೆಗೆ ಸಾಗಿದ್ದು. ಹೀಗೆ ಕನಕದಾಸರ ಜೀವನವು ಪರಸ್ಪರ ವಿರೋಧಗಳ ಬೀಡಾಗಿದ್ದರೂ ಅಂತರಂಗದಲ್ಲಿ ಅದು ಸಮನ್ವಯತೆಯ ನೆಲೆಯನ್ನು ಮೈಗೂಡಿಸಿ ಕೊಂಡಿತ್ತು. ಕನಕದಾಸರು ಸಮಗ್ರವಾದ ಸಮನ್ವಯ ದೃಷ್ಟಿಯ ಹರಿಕಾರರೆನಿಸಿದರು.

Culture and Creativity: Selected Writings by N Manu Chakravarthy
Culture and Creativity is a collection of essays of N Manu Chakravarthy, a prominent culture critic known for his discourses on music, cinema, literature and several aspects of culture and philosophy. This book illustrates the intellectual and ethical perspectives that shape his discussions on wide range of issues. These discussions are reflective of the inspiration he draws from his father Prof G N Chakravarthy and his teachers Prof C D Narasimhaiah, Prof U R Ananthamurthy, and Prof B Damodara Rao. The ideas of Ivan Illich and Noam Chomsky, and his friend D R Nagaraj are also instrumental in framing the critical nature of his interpretations. The essays in this book encompass Prof Manu Chakravarthy?s perspectives on religion, secularism, tradition, and modernity. The references to Sri Narayanaguru, M K Gandhi, Rabindranath Tagore, and the interview with Gustavo Esteva, evince his preoccupation with madhyamamarga. They also foreground his views on nationalism, metaphysics, media, politics and the crises of the third world and India in a globalised context. This work is a testimony to the form of scholarship he values.

Writing the self in Illness: Reading the Experiential through the Medical Memoir
Writing the Self in Illness: Reading the Experiential Through the Medical Memoir is MUP?s refreshing venture into the developing fields of Medical and Health Humanities with an aim to consider the necessity of the narrative knowledge as complementary to the contemporary notions of well-being, illness, and healthcare.
Is individual happiness contingent on health and well-being? How does one find happiness in the throes of illness? In the present-day scenario, wherein medical practice is largely dominated by evidence-based understanding, diagnostic language, and problem-solving methods, the discipline of Medical Humanities emerges with a reciprocal dialogue between Humanities, Social Sciences, Health, and Medicine. The study of varied experiential narratives ? literary works and unmediated accounts of patients and healthcare professionals, is foregrounded in Medical Humanities to amplify knowledge and understanding about the complexity of encounters with illness and their transformational quality in a nuanced manner. Both thought-provoking and informative, this publication brings about the anecdotal form of personal narratives in the light of medical discourses along with the specific cultural context of the narrative.
The present publication seeks to be an important reading for students and academics in the field of medical humanities, health professionals or medical practitioners, as well as scholars aspiring to venture into this flourishing field. -

Comets – Nomads of the Solar System
This book introduces the general reader to the world of comets – those celestial visitors from the outer Solar System that occasionally visit the Earth’s neighbourhood and put up spectacular shows in the night sky. The world had geared up for just such a show at the end of 2013, when Comet ISON was expected to light up the night sky. Using the occasion to bring the world of comets to those interested, this book is a delightful read about the quirky world of these unpredictable visitors. Apart from lucidly and accurately updating the reader about what comets are, where they come from, why is it that they assume the fantastic shapes they do etc. “Comets” also regales the reader with myths about comets in various cultural contexts, snippets about famous comets in the history of mankind, anecdotes on comet discoveries and discoverers, the bewildering procedures followed while naming comets and much more. The book takes a hard look at the hype surrounding the fiery expectations about Comet ISON an cautions the reader that, while there was a good chance of the comet blazing forth in the skies of December 2013, there was a realistic chance that the comet would not survive its close encounter with the Sun. Sadly, the pessimistic predictions came true and the comet disintegrated as it went around the Sun. As we wait for chance to throw us a Great Comet to gaze at in the future, “Comets: Nomads of the Solar System” is an excellent guide to prepare for the event!
