Tapaalu Mani
₹140.00
Author: Rabhindranath Tagore, Translator: Mounesh Badiger
ರಾಷ್ಟ್ರಕವಿ ರವೀಂದ್ರನಾಥ ಠಾಕೂರರ ‘ಡಾಕ್ ಘರ್’ ಬಹಳ ಪ್ರಸಿದ್ಧ ನಾಟಕ. ಮಗುವಿನ ಮನೋದೈಹಿಕ ಸಾಧ್ಯತೆಗಳನ್ನು ಕಲೆಯ ಸೂಕ್ಷ್ಮಕಣ್ಣಿನಿಂದ ನೋಡುವ ಎರಡಂಕದ ಪುಟ್ಟ ನಾಟಕವಿದು. ಇದು ಸೃಷ್ಟಿಸುವ ಮಾಯಾವಾಸ್ತವ ಬಹಳ ಅಪರೂಪವಾದದ್ದು. ಇದರ ಮುಖ್ಯ ಪಾತ್ರ ಮಗುವೇ ಆಗಿದ್ದರೂ ಇದರ ವಸ್ತು ಮಕ್ಕಳಿಗಳಿಂತ ಹೆಚ್ಚಾಗಿ ದೊಡ್ಡವರಿಗೇ ಅನ್ವಯವಾಗುವಂತಿದೆ. ಮೌನೇಶ ಬಡಿಗೇರರು ಇದನ್ನು ಉತ್ತರಕರ್ನಾಟಕದ ಭಾಷೆಗೆ ತಂದು ಕನ್ನಡದ ನಾಟಕವೇ ಎನ್ನುವಷ್ಟು ರೂಪಾಂತರಿಸಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಇದರ ಪ್ರಯೋಗದ ಹೊಸ ಹೊಸ ಸಾಧ್ಯತೆಗಳನ್ನು ಕನ್ನಡ ರಂಗಭೂಮಿ ಇನ್ನೂ ಶೋಧಿಸಬೇಕಿದೆ.

Ayurvedic Inheritance- A Reader’s Companion
₹650.00Author: M S Valiathan
In ancient India, learning spanned four quarters of one’s life. Learning was sought from the teacher, from one’s individual effort, from fellow students and in the last quarter, from the school of life itself. This book belongs to the third quarter for students of Ayurveda regardless of their background in medicine, science, or humanities. Apart from topics in the eight branches of Ayurveda, the book also deals with Ayurvedic Biology which seeks to study the concepts and procedures of Ayurveda with the tools of modern biology. M S Valiathan is a National Research Professor of the Government of India. He is a medical graduate from the University of Kerala and completed his postgraduate training in general surgery from the University of Liverpool and other hospitals in the UK. He did his specialisation in cardiac surgery from the Johns Hopkins and Georgetown University Hospitals in the US. He was a cardiac surgeon for over three decades. His shift to Ayurvedic studies resulted in the publication of three volumes on Caraka, Susruta and Vagbhata, and an Introduction to Ayurveda. The Department of Science and Technology set up a Task Force in Ayurvedic Biology under his chairmanship to promote research in the nascent discipline.

Valmiki Ramayana – Critical Essays
₹250.00Author: M R Parameswaran
This 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.

Reliving the memories of an Indian forester: Memoir of S Shyam Sunder
₹450.00Editor: Shiv Someshwar
Shyam Sunder’s memoir is a series of vignettes, from numerous comedic to a tragic few. The life narrated is varied and never short of excitement – being ten yards from a charging tusker or a foot away from a King Cobra; defying orders of the chief minister; being hauled up for contempt of the high court, and discussing with Indira Gandhi the best way to eat avocados. Possessed of wit and passion, the narration lays bare the hubris of popular discourse on noble forest livelihoods, and unflinchingly narrates neglect of rural communities, as well as of forests, at times by the callous imposition of rules and regulations.

Just a few pages: Some Memories of Saraswatibai Rajwade
₹210.00Author: Vaidehi, Translator: Deepa Ganesh
This book is a coming together of two women writers of modern Kannada literature; one from its early period, the other, a contemporary. Saraswati Bai Rajwade, the early writer, became a fable, a mythology, leaving behind only the shadows of her writing. Vaidehi, the contemporary writer, reinvents Rajwade from the folds of history and gives her a life in the present. Saraswati Bai Rajwade was born into a poor family in the Dakshina Kannada of yore. By chance, she stepped into theatre and later into films. But all the glory that came to her unexpectedly, vanished just as suddenly. She later became the wife of a rich and high official, travelled abroad and underwent immense suffering. In her pain and loneliness, she took to books and also began to write and attained glory as a writer. In the last years of her life, she returned to a life of austerity and anonymity. Vaidehi has collected bits and pieces from her life and writing, presenting before us a unique tapestry. In this tapestry, Vaidehi?s perceptions criss-cross with Rajwade?s life and writing. Art does not reside in the object, but in its close encounter with life. This work unfolds before us as a grand illustration of such twin narratives.

Anurakte- The Enamoured
₹390.00Author: Vyasaraya Ballal Translator: Poornima Hebbar
There are many rags-to-riches stories around the city of Mumbai. However, here is a story of transformation of a woman and her true self in the city of dreams. Set in Mangalore and Mumbai of the late 1940s, Anurakte- The Enamoured is an elegantly written story of a woman and her changing worldview over a period of time. Sumithra, a young woman with ordinary dreams and aspirations, comes to the then Bombay in search of livelihood. Little did she know that her experiences in the city and her zest for an independent life would transform her into a different person. She breaks the shell and resolves not to look back. The book is a poignant tale of love, loss, betrayal, family, relationships and traditions. The culturescape of Mumbai beautifully intertwines with her dreams. It is as much a story of the vibrancy of Mumbai as it is about Sumithra’s journey towards freedom.
