Ekathaari: An Autobiography of a Nomad
₹320.00Kuppe Nagaraja’s autobiography is of social importance as it covers the life of a nomadic community. Its uniqueness comes from the fact that the nomadic and semi-nomadic lifestyle is markedly different from that of other communities in the lower socioeconomic strata of society. This autobiography does not glorify the life of its author; it narrates the story of a community through the lens of an individual’s life. It begins as the story of an individual, then becomes the story of a family, and finally transforms into the story of a community. The autobiography grows beyond the traps of self-glorification by providing equal space to all these aspects in a balancedmanner.
– Baraguru Ramachandrappa
Noted Kannada writer, critic and film directorJust as birds migrate to greener pastures, nomadic people move towards regions that have received good rains. Kuppe Nagaraja’s autobiography meaningfully captures their traditions, beliefs, social interactions, and superstitions. This book can also be considered a free gift to social scientists as it provides insights into the life of nomads. It should be noted that it is very difficult to study nomads, as they keep to themselves and often dodge any probing questions. Moreover,
the book provides an answer to all those people who often stand on the footpaths of cities debating the relevance of caste-based reservation in Indian society.

Vacanāmṛtam – Nectar of Sayings
₹600.00Translator : Mangesh Venkatesh Nadkarni
The Śiva Śaraṇas of medieval Karnataka left a rich legacy of what are called Vacanas, or “Sayings,” in Kannada. These Vacanas were far ahead of their times in social awareness. They deplored the caste system and discrimination, upheld the dignity of women in family and society, stressed on the priority of work, and advocated charity, in addition to devotion to One God – Śiva. They also imparted practical wisdom for living honourably and meaningfully in the world.
Though the book is primarily meant for those who do not understand the original in Kannada, Kannadigas can also benefit from it. This is because the most interesting (320) of the vast number of Vacanas (more than 20,000) are selected and made accessible in one place here. The translations here are not literal or mechanical. They bring out the intent of the Vacanas while being truthful to the original at the same time.
Manipal Universal Press (MUP) is dedicated to making Vacana Sahitya accessible to the English audience. As a part of this effort, we have published a book titled Akka Mahadevi: The Questioning Poet-Saint. This work explores the life and enduring legacy of Akka Mahadevi, the influential 12th Century Kannada poet whose profound vacanas continue to inspire readers today.
