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.

Capturing the Cosmic Light – A Handbook of Astrophotography
₹670.00Author: Sathyakumar P M Sharma
The Handbook of Astrophotography is the first book dedicated to Astronomical Imaging through modest equipment, and the first to be published in India. It is a chronicle of the techniques learnt and employed by the author and is by no means proprietary. It is assumed that the reader is equipped with the basic knowledge to use a digital camera. After showing the many methods to capture the Cosmos, the book shows how to process these images. It is designed to be a handbook and not a user manual. The author hopes that the reader will be confident in astronomical imaging and develop his/her own techniques after reading the book. Sathyakumar started Astrophotography in January 2006 with a homemade wooden star-tracking mount and a camera borrowed from a friend. He later used his homemade Newtonian reflector telescope and an inexpensive digital camera to capture photos of the Moon. With an MSc in Aerospace engineering from the University of Salford, Manchester, he joined Opticstar Ltd, as a design engineer. There he was trained on the latest of astronomical instruments available for the amateur astrophotographer and eventually purchased the Celestron C8 Schmidt cassegrain telescope and the CG-5 Equatorial mount. Currently, he uses a GSO 6 inch RC telescope and an HEQ5-PRO computerized mount as well as an Orion 80ED Apochromatic telescope for astrophotography. He also owns an Astrotrac to take wide field vistas of the Cosmos. He is now employed as a Scientific Officer at Karnataka Science and Technology Promotion Society, Department of Science and Technology, Govt. of Karnataka.

₹240.00Author: Amala Poli
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.Interested readers may write to us at mup@manipal.edu about purchasing the book.

The Path of Proofs – Pramanapaddhati of Sri Jayatirtha
₹250.00The Path of Proofs: Pramanapaddhati of Sri Jayatirtha Epistemology of the Dvaita school of thought is presented in this short monograph Pramanapaddhati the Path of Proofs, authored by Sri Jayatirtha. Epistemology is the science of knowledge that deals with the origin and nature of cognitive events and their means. Acarya Madhva, the proponent of the Dvaita school, has explained about the epistemology of this new school in his works. Since Madhva’s language is profound and the elucidations are scattered over his several works, it is difficult to comprehend for a novice. Hence, Pramanapaddhati was composed by his successor of third generation Sri Jayatirtha. 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. The work is classified into three chapters; Pratyaksa, Anumana and Agama as a compendious yet full treatment of the Dvaita epistemology in smaller captions. 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. This work is rendered into English by Prof Shrinivasa Varakhedi adopting the mirror-translation method.
