- Book Type:
- Description: सीता बनाम राम(वाल्मीकि रामायण पर आधारित रामकथा का वैकल्पिक पाठ) वनगमन के समय सीता को अयोध्या में रहकर भरत को 'विशेष यत्नपूर्वक' प्रसन्न रखने के राम के सुझाव की निंदा करते हुए सीता द्वारा राम को स्त्री की कमाई खाने वाले नट की संज्ञा देना (शैलूष इव मां राम परेभ्यो दातुमिच्छसि), अरण्यकांड में 'अकारण' हिंसा के विरुद्ध सीता का राम के साथ वाद-विवाद करना, अग्नि-परीक्षा के समय देह को ही सर्वोपरि मानने वाले राम के आरोपों का उत्तर देते हुए सीता का हृदय और आत्मा में बसे प्रेम को देह से परे बताना (मदधीनं तु यत् तन्मे हृदयं त्वयि वर्तते। पराधीनेषु गात्रेषु किं करिष्याम्यनीश्वरी॥); ये कुछ ऐसे तथ्य हैं, जिनसे दोनों के सोच और व्यवहार में जमीन-आसमान का अंतर दिखाई देता है। और आखिर में अश्वमेध यज्ञ के समय जनसमुदाय के समक्ष राम जिस प्रकार सीता के सामने शुद्धता की शपथ लेने के बाद ही उन्हें अपनाने की शर्त रखते हैं; और उत्तर में राम की ओर देखे बिना वे खामोशी के साथ जिस प्रकार भूमि-प्रवेश कर जाती हैं (जो प्रेम के समाप्त होने का संकेत माना जा सकता है), वह उन दोनों के वैचारिक अंतर को स्पष्ट कर देता है।सीता और राम अपने सोच और आचरण में ही नहीं, जन्म और मृत्यु में भी एक-दूसरे के प्रतिकूल हैं। सीता का जन्म राम की तरह किसी माँ के गर्भ से नहीं, धरती से होता है और वे अंत में धरती में समा जाती हैं। वह न तो जन्म लेती हैं और न (राम की भाँति) मरती हैं। राम आकाश में स्थित विष्णुलोक से अवतार लेकर आते हैं और वापस आकाश में चले जाते हैं। दोनों के इस संसार में आने और लौटने के स्थान विपरीत दिशा में हैं। बिछड़ने के बाद राम के साथ वे कभी नहीं मिलतीं। ('सीता बनाम राम' पुस्तक से...)
Harivamsha
- Author Name:
Bibek Debroy
- Book Type:
- Description: A gorgeous, lucid rendering of the majestic conclusion to the Mahabharata As an epilogue to the greatest epic of all time, the Harivamsha further elaborates on the myriad conflicts of dharma and the struggle between good and evil. Stories abound-from the cosmogony of the universe to the legends of the solar and lunar dynasties and even a foreshadowing of kali yuga in the future. At the centre of all these magnificent tales is the mercurial figure of Krishna, whose miraculous life and wondrous exploits are recounted with vivid detail. In offering a glimpse into Krishna’s life-as a mischievous child, as an enchanting lover, as a discerning prince-this luminous text sheds light on many questions left unanswered in the Mahabharata. Brimming with battles and miracles, wisdom and heroics, philosophical insight and psychological acuity, Bibek Debroy’s splendid translation of the Harivamsha is absolutely essential reading for all those who love the Mahabharata.
Proud Convicts Of Love
- Author Name:
Pankaj Subeer
- Book Type:
- Description: Pankaj Subeer is well known for his writings on unique subjects and his mesmerizing extraordinary ways of storytelling. He is a novelist, short story writer and an editor of two magazines. He has written three novels, eight short story books and his writings have appeared in many magazines, daily newspapers and books. In his writings, he depicts social injustice, ugliness and discrimination in the society, and hope through love. His one novel ''Akaal mein utsav'' is on farmer's problems. Another novel 'Yeh woh sehar to nahin' is written on those historical characters which had been forgotten and forbidden by the time. In his short stories, he has succeeded in riveting the reader's attention towards his characters with different, very engrossing, styles of writings in Indian literature. He has won numerous national and international awards for his contribution to literature. ''Proud convicts of love'' is a translation of his very popular Hindi novel ''Jinhe jurm e ishq par naaz tha.'' Rachana Tyagi has translated this novel. The novel was published in 2019 by Shiva publications and was sold out very quickly and its second edition was also published in 2019.Third and fourth editions came out in 2020 and fifth edition in 2021. Although all his books have been very popular, this novel has broken all records and is his best creation to date. ''Proud convicts of love'' is a beautiful journey of five thousand years of civilizations portraying the role religion played in shaping and dividing societies and nation building based on unfounded and selfish interpretations of religious teachings. In this novel Pankaj Subeer has been successful in bringing forward a new ideology of love, faith and belief. I'm confident that this English translation will enthrall the readers as much as the Hindi version continues to do till this day!. -Sudha Om Dhingra, USA

- Book Type:
- Description: The first book of the four-book Lasgalan Series How do you create the perfect team? Do you bring the strongest people in, and hope they work together with little training? Or do you bring in a variation of people and make sure they work together, whether they want to or not? Here, in the first book of the Lasgalan Series, War of the Tribes, you see seemingly ordinary teenagers grouped together and whisked off to work hard and fast. From birth, they are hardwired for battle and whether they like it or not, they have to go above and beyond their limits, time and time again. This is just the start for them. Knowing that they have to face a person who made even a God quiver, they know what sacrifices they have to make so that the job is finished cleanly. What makes a team? The easy work, or the despair, pain that they undergo? Magic, blood, gore, powers beyond their comprehension and brute force are some of the facets that shape this team to get it to what it needs to be. Unexpected twists shape the morale of the team, without them realizing it.

I wish you were not here by Deepshikha Saw A fictional book that revolves around a young aspiring tennis player Shivangi. COVID has brought drastic changes in each and everyone’s life, it made us shattered, stronger, weaker, and even challenged in many ways. Shivangi is a fast learner, fitness freak, over thinker and a honest girl with wonderful writing skills. After returning from the tournament she found out to be quarantined in home due to COVID. Due to lockdown and viral outbreak there were no other games and she must stay caged in her house. As the days pass her transition from a naughty girl to a matured writer has been described beautifully by the author. The whole book takes us a tour about the various events like connecting with family, friends, within ourselves and mental health during the outbreak It feels like its our own story that’s described by the author The language is so simple and beginner friendly. Brownie points: A book that felt like regular conversation between friends and family A unique book that instantly connected with me
