The Buddha and His Dhamma Book on Buddha's Life And Philosophy
- Author Name:
DR. B.R. Ambedkar
- Book Type:

- Description:
"The Buddha and His Dhamma is Dr. B.R. Ambedkar's final and perhaps most spiritually significant work, offering a detailed exploration of the life, teachings and philosophy of Gautama Buddha. First published in 1957, this book serves as a foundational text for the Navayana or Neo-Buddhist movement, which Ambedkar initiated to promote a version of Buddhism rooted in social justice, equality and compassion. In this work, Ambedkar reinterprets the teachings of the Buddha to emphasise principles of rationalism, ethical living, and human dignity, critiquing traditional religious practices that, in his view, perpetuate superstition and social inequality. He presents the Buddha as a revolutionary figure whose teachings directly oppose caste-based discrimination and advocate for a moral code that transcends ritualistic practices."

"In Revolution and Counter-Revolution in Ancient India, Dr. B.R. Ambedkar presents a sweeping and insightful historical analysis of social and religious dynamics in ancient Indian society.

Who Were The Shudras?
- Author Name:
DR. B.R. Ambedkar
- Book Type:

- Description:
"Who Were the Shudras?—Is a book about the history of the Shudra (lowest) varna of the Indian caste system written in 1946 by Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar. The book is dedicated to Jyotirao Phule and intends to break the myth about Shudras being an untouchable caste in India. Ambedkar cites the Indian scriptures like The Vedas and Mahabharata among others to argue that Shudras were in fact Aryan kings who fell to a substandard caste after a long-drawn conflict with the Brahmans. Ambedkar also discusses the Aryan race theory and does not agree on the Indo-Aryan migration that has often been considered canon in the history of the race. The book is a debunking of myths and ideologies and hopes to achieve a sense of tolerance for a misunderstood and ill-treated caste in India."

डॉ. बाबासाहेब आंबेडकरांचे रामायण-महाभारत हे ग्रंथ वाचून समाधान झाले नाही तेव्हा ते बुद्धांकडे वळले. बौद्ध धर्म हा एकमेव असा धर्म आहे की, विज्ञानाने जागृत झालेला समाज तो सहर्ष स्वीकारील. मानवासाठी कल्याणकारी असणाऱ्या या धर्मात उच्च-नीच, श्रेष्ठ-कनिष्ठ, स्त्री-पुरुष, स्पृश्य-अस्पृश्य असा कोणताही भेद नाही. समानता हेच तत्त्व या धम्मात व्यापून आहे. ‘बहुजन हिताय, बहुजन सुखाय' हे या धम्माचं मध्यवर्ती सूत्र आहे. हे तत्त्वज्ञान त्यांनी ‘बुद्ध आणि त्यांचा धम्म' या ग्रंथातून विस्तृतपणे मांडलेले आहे. गौतम बुद्धांच्या जीवन आणि तत्त्वज्ञानावर, समाजातील मौलिक प्रश्नांवर विवेचन करणारा हा एकमेवाद्वितीय ग्रंथ होय. सबंध मानवास समृद्ध जीवन जगण्याचा मार्ग दाखवणारा हा एक प्रमाण ग्रंथ म्हणता येईल.डॉ. बाबासाहेब आंबेडकरांनी लिहिलेला हा अखेरचा ग्रंथ असून त्यांच्या सर्व ग्रंथांत या ग्रंथाला सर्वाधिक महत्त्व आहे. त्यांची भूमिका धर्मचिकित्सकाची होती. तर्काला पटेल ते स्वीकारायचं आणि न पटेल ते नाकारण्याचं धम्मात दिलेलं स्वातंत्र्य घेऊनच ‘बुद्ध आणि त्यांचा धम्म' हा ग्रंथ त्यांनी लिहिला.मूळ इंग्रजीत असणारा हा ग्रंथ मराठी, हिंदी, गुजराती, तेलुगू, तमिळ, कन्नड, पंजाबी आदी भाषांत अनुवादित झालेला आहे. या ग्रंथावर ‘अ जर्नी ऑफ सम्यक बुद्ध' हा चित्रपटसुद्धा प्रदर्शित झालेला आहे.गौतम बुद्ध आणि डॉ. बाबासाहेब आंबेडकरांवर ज्यांची प्रगाढ निष्ठा आहे त्यांच्यासाठी आणि विद्यार्थी, ज्ञानसाधक, अभ्यासक आदींना प्रस्तुत ग्रंथ नक्कीच अत्यंत उपयुक्त ठरेल.

Shoodra Kaun The?
- Author Name:
DR. B.R. Ambedkar
- Book Type:

- Description:
"शूद्र कौन थे ? डॉ. भीमराव आंबेडकर द्वारा 1946 में लिखी गई पुस्तक, जो भारतीय जाति प्रणाली के सबसे निचले वर्ण शूद्रों के इतिहास पर केंद्रित है। यह पुस्तक ज्योतिराव फुले को समर्पित है और शूद्रों को भारत में एक अस्पृश्य जाति मानने की मिथ्या धारणाओं को तोड़ने का प्रयास करती है। आंबेडकर ने वेदों और महाभारत जैसे भारतीय ग्रंथों का संदर्भ देते हुए तर्क दिया कि शूद्र वास्तव में आर्य राजा थे, जो ब्राह्मणों के साथ लंबे संघर्ष के बाद एक निम्न जाति में परिवर्तित कर दिए गए। वे आर्य नस्ल सिद्धांत की भी चर्चा करते हैं और इंडो-आर्यन प्रवासन सिद्धांत को स्वीकार नहीं करते हैं, जिसे अकसर आर्य जाति के इतिहास का अभिन्न अंग माना जाता है। यह पुस्तक उन मिथकों और विचारधाराओं का खंडन करती है, जो शूद्रों को गलत तरीके से परिभाषित करती आई हैं और भारत में इस गलत समझी गई एवं शोषित जाति के प्रति सहिष्णुता स्थापित करने की आशा रखती है।"

DR. B.R. Ambedkar
- Book Type:

- Description:
‘धर्मान्तरण’ जाति व्यवस्था, बौद्ध धर्म के मूल्यों और लिंग के प्रश्न से सम्बन्धित मुद्दों पर एक बहुत ही महत्त्वपूर्ण पुस्तक है। रतन लाल द्वारा शानदार ढंग से सम्पादित यह पुस्तक समानता और सामाजिक न्याय की दिशा में सामाजिक परिवर्तन के मूल्यों के लिए प्रतिबद्ध सभी लोगों के लिए आवश्यक है। —प्रो. राम पुनियानी भारत में सदियों से धर्मान्तरण होता रहा है। सर्वाधिक धर्मान्तरण द्विजों ने किया है। लेकिन विवाद का विषय बीसवीं सदी में दलितों का धर्मान्तरण बना, क्योंकि डॉ. आंबेडकर ने अस्पृश्यता से ग्रस्त दलित जातियों को अपनी मुक्ति के लिए हिन्दू धर्म छोड़ने का आह्वान किया था। डॉ. रतन लाल ने इस सम्पूर्ण बहस को इस पुस्तक में एक साथ रखकर साहित्य और इतिहास के विद्यार्थियों के लिए अत्यन्त महत्त्वपूर्ण कार्य किया है। —कँवल भारती बाबासाहेब आंबेडकर के विचारों और रणनीति में धर्मान्तरण का अहम स्थान है। आज जब हम हिन्दू राष्ट्र बनने की दहलीज पर खड़े है, तो इन विचारों और रणनीतियों को इस सन्दर्भ में देखा जा सकता है। रतन लाल ने बाबा साहेब के विशाल लेखों और भाषणों के 15000 पन्नों में बिखरे उनके धर्मान्तरण सम्बन्धित विचारों को, बड़ी मेहनत से किताब में संकलित किया है। मुझे यकीन है कि हिन्दी पाठक इसे कृतज्ञतापूर्वक स्वीकार करेंगे। —आनन्द तेलतुम्बड़े धर्मान्तरण पर बाबासाहेब आंबेडकर के लेखन और भाषणों का यह विस्तृत चयन इस विषय पर उनके विचारों की स्पष्ट तस्वीर देता है। रतन लाल ने विस्तृत भूमिका लिखी है, जो धर्मान्तरण के सम्बन्ध में बाबासाहेब के दृष्टिकोण को समझने के लिए ऐतिहासिक रूपरेखा प्रदान करती है। —अशोक गोपाल रतन लाल द्वारा सम्पादित इस किताब से हमें मालूम होता है कि आधुनिक चिन्तक डॉ. भीमराव आंबेडकर का धर्म जैसे पारम्परिक विचार और व्यवहार के साथ किस प्रकार का रिश्ता रहा। क्यों उन्हें धर्म अनिवार्य जान पड़ा और वे क्यों बौद्ध मत की तरफ़ ही मुड़े? इस किताब की भूमिका को अनिवार्य रूप से पढ़ा जाना चाहिए क्योंकि वह बौद्धिक तटस्थता के साथ धर्म के प्रसंग में डॉक्टर आंबेडकर के भीतर के द्वन्द्वों की पड़ताल करती है। —प्रो. अपूर्वानंद

वह अम्बेडकर ही थे जिनके सिद्धान्तों ने दलित वर्ग को नई चेतना प्रदान की। और बाबासाहेब अम्बेडकर ने कहा...उन्हीं के 1920 से लेकर 1956 तक के लेखों, अभिलेखों और अभिभाषणों का संकलन है। पाँच खंडों में विभाजित इस रचनावली में डॉ. अम्बेडकर की उसी सामग्री को लिया गया है जो अभी तक केवल मराठी में उपलब्ध थी। हमें खुशी है कि हम इस सामग्री को पहली बार सीधे हिन्दी में उपलब्ध करा रहे हैं। पहले खंड में बाबासाहेब के 1920 से 1928 तक के लेख व अभिभाषण प्रस्तुत हैं। अपने भाषणों में डॉ. अम्बेडकर ने जहाँ ब्राह्मणवाद पर कड़ा प्रहार किया, वहीं उन्होंने दलितों को भी नया दृष्टिकोण अपनाने के लिए प्रेरित किया। प्रथम खंड में प्रस्तुत सामग्री बताती है कि किस तरह से हजारों सालों से दलितों पर हो रही जुल्म-ज्यादतियों के खिलाफ लडऩे के लिए बाबासाहेब ने दलित वर्ग को मानसिक रूप से सुदृढ़ किया और उन्हें उनके उद्धार का रास्ता भी दिखाया। इसमें कोई सन्देह नहीं कि यह खंड दलित वर्ग ही नहीं बल्कि सामाजिक क्रान्ति में विश्वास रखनेवाले सभी महानुभावों की जिज्ञासाओं को तुष्ट करेगा।

Death: An Inside Story
- Author Name:
Sadhguru
- Book Type:

- Description:
Death is a taboo in most societies in the world. But what if we have got this completely wrong? What if death was not the catastrophe it is made out to be but an essential aspect of life, rife with spiritual possibilities for transcendence? For the first time, someone is saying just that. In this unique treatise-like exposition, Sadhguru dwells extensively upon his inner experience as he expounds on the more profound aspects of death that are rarely spoken about. From a practical standpoint, he elaborates on what preparations one can make for one’s death, how best we can assist someone who is dying and how we can continue to support their journey even after death. Whether a believer or not, a devotee or an agnostic, an accomplished seeker or a simpleton, this is truly a book for all those who shall die!
Kailas: Shiva's Abode
- Author Name:
Hemant Sharma +2
- Book Type:

- Description:
Wanderlust and the desire to know the land and society more had been fueling my wish to visit Kailas. There were many curiosities. All our major rivers have their source in the region. The largest reservoir of fresh water on earth is situated there. The celestial swans are found there. I recall that how in my childhood, my Grandmother used to describe Kailas as being akin to a dreamland. According to her, Shri Krishna has said in the Gita – Meruru shikhirinamaham – ‘Among mountains I am Kailas!’ It was Sage Mandhata who first set foot on this sacred soil. Adi Shankaracharya shed his mortal body here. Guru Nanak meditated here and Swaminarayana, the founder of the sect that bears his name, saw the vision of god here. The Ramayana and the Mahabharata mention Kailas. This is where Ravana had worshipped Lord Shiva. He wanted to take Kailas with him. Shiva guilefully dissuaded him from doing so. Arjuna performed penance here and received the Pashupata Astra from Shiva. Yudhishthir proceeded heavenwards via this route. One by one, all the family members fell by the roadside; only the faithful dog kept company. Bhasmasur, the Rakshas, a devotee of Shiva was reduced to cinders here. Today the dark shadow of civilisation has begun to fall even on Mansarovar. This lake is shrinking. The sacred water body, that once stretched across 410 square kilometres, is now shrunk to only 10 square kilometres. Consider this the rage of Nature. Had Kalidasa been alive, he would have been deeply saddened to see his beloved Himalaya in this state. Is it the same Himalaya that is described in Raghuvamsham and Kumar Sambhavam? Civilisation has reached a point where the divine dimensions of Himalaya are disturbed.

Magh Mela
- Author Name:
Vincent Van Ross +2
- Book Type:

- Description:
This might come as a surprise to many readers. But, this is indeed the very first book on Magh Mela. As of now, the only book relevant to Magh Mela that is available in the market is a reproduction of the chapter on Magh Mahatmaya appearing in Padma Purana. But, that is purely mythological in content and does not deal with many aspects of the Magh Mela as it plays out in Allahabad. Everybody has heard of Kumbh Mela. But, how many of us have heard of Magh Mela? Does it surprise you to learn that Kumbh Mela is nothing but Magh Mela that is celebrated every twelfth year and Ardh Kumbh is nothing but the sixth Magh Mela celebrated between two Kumbh Melas? In other words, a mini version of the Kumbh Mela is celebrated in Allahabad year after year in the form of Magh Mela which goes almost unnoticed and unreported outside of Allahabad and Uttar Pradesh. Magh Mela is an incredible annual phenomenon in Allahabad (Prayag) from time immemorial. It is a monthlong Hindu festival that is celebrated in the month of Magh at Sangam or the confluence of rivers Ganga, Yamuna and the mythical river Saraswati. Magh Mela is marked by (snan) ritual bathing and taking up temporary residence near Sangam in the month Magh and leading an austere life devoted to prayers and rituals (kalpavas) according to their vows. The month of Magh begins with Paush Purnima and ends with Magh Purnima. But, the Magh Mela begins on Makkar Sankranti or Paush Purnima (whichever is earlier) and ends with Maha Shivaratri because of administrative reasons. Lord Vishnu is the presiding deity of Allahabad as well as the month of Magh which is considered to be the most auspicious month for Hindus. Allahabad is also known as Tirthraj Prayag. In other words, Allahabad is the king of pilgrimage sites for Hindus. Separate chapters are devoted to the most auspicious months of the Hindu calendar in the Puranas in the form of Vaishak Mahatmaya, Kartik Mahatmaya and Magh Mahatmaya explaining the significance of each month. The most important ritual for Vaishak is charity (daan). Similarly, the main ritual for Kartik is offerings in the form of earthen lamps (deep daan); and, the main ritual for Magh is ritual bathing (snan). Therefore, Magh Mela is essentially a bathing festival coupled with kalpavas. And, Tirthraj Prayag is the sacred land that has been designated for Magh Mela by Hindu scriptures. That is the secret of Magh Mela.
