ARUNACHAL PRADESH REDISCOVERING HINDUISM IN THE HIMALAYAS BY DR. JAGDISH KAUR
Defining religion in the context of
Arunachal Pradesh has always been a challenge. The state and its human
population were not completely isolated from the mainland Indian culture and
society even in the remote past. This book has tried to relate the religious
history of Arunachal Pradesh with the existing evidence in the form of ancient
Indian epics, texts, contemporary literature and the archaeological
investigations conducted over a period of last several decades. A comprehensive
analysis of this evidence establishes the presence of Hindu religious elements
in ancient Arunachal Pradesh.
Dr. Jagdish Kaur is a medical
professional educated at Delhi University and is a postgraduate in public
health. She is working with the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare,
Government of India at present. She has authored several publications and
research papers in the arena of public health.
She has special interest in the history and diverse culture of India,
especially the mythology and spiritual heritage of the country. This is her
debut book on the cultural aspect of India.
I am proud to belong to a religion
which has taught the world tolerance and universal acceptance. We believe not only
in the universal toleration but we accept all religion as true.

KASHMIR ACROSS LOC BY DEBIDATTA AUROBINDO MAHAPATRA & SEEMA SHEKHAWAT
Discourses on Kashmir till recently
were largely confined to developments in Kashmir in Indian side. The book
recognizes the imperative to have a fresh look at the issue in its totality by
studying the hitherto neglected aspects of Kashmir conflict. It is an attempt
to look at the developments in Kashmir across the line of control.
Pakistan’s policy towards Kashmir
under its control is characterized by not only ambiguity and contradiction but
also subjugation and exploitation. Its claim that it supports Kashmir’s right
to self determination is contrasted by the ideology of Kashmir’s accession to
Pakistan incorporated in the constitution of Kashmir under its control.
The study is timely and significant as
it is one of the first elaborate studies on Kashmir under the control of
Pakistan. It bears special significance because any final solution of Kashmir
must take into account the realities across the line of control.
This comprehensive work will be of
interest to a wide readership including scholars, human rights activists,
journalists, policy makers and every one interested in Kashmir.

KASHMIR ON THE BURNING PYRE BY PROF. J.L.SHER
The book has been titled “Kashmir on
the Burning Pyre”. We see political hegemony is fiddling for their political
power, with the sole aim to dominate the abandoned child to claim their legal
rights. To them both warring fractions want territory. People’s welfare and
development is no more their goal. The situation is detoriating day by day.
Kashmir is marooned in its own blood. The stench of rotten politics is not
wafting down the Kashmir valley only, but its nausea has bracketed in its fold
the whole of India. The valley is withering in pain and needs a healing touch
in the real sense. The situation in Kashmir is grave and quick fix solution can
make it all the worst, endangering world peace. There is more fury but little
substance. We are passing through a catastrophic trance unaware of the imminent
danger that looms over our heads.
I was born in a humble family to spiritually elevated parents who inculcated in me, traits of discipline, sublime, devotion, dedication towards all suffering masses, irrespective of caste, creed and color which my primary objective of life. My conscience would never allow me to betray my well indoctrinated values ingrained in me, by my virtuous God like parents like truthfulness. My life has been a life of struggle, trail and tribulations, full of hardwork and selflessly working for the community in exile ever since exodus from Kashmir.

J.P ON JAMMU & KASHMIR BY BALRAJ PURI
Jayaprakash Narayan commented through
his speeches, statement and writings on Jammu and Kashmir state –more than any
other Indian leader. As conscience keeper of India with an independent mind and
moral courage, he expressed his views on the developments in the state from
pre-independence days to the latest days of his life. He was admired as well as
condemned by the people and leaders of the country but never ignored. He was
the profoundest influence on the Kashmiri mind, after Gandhi and Nehru and
played a major role in reconciliation of Sheikh Abdullah and the people of
Kashmir, after decades of estrangement, with the rest of India.
The book is a collection of whatever
he said or wrote on the crucial state, from all possible sources – archives,
newspapers, personal records. It throws light on how national interest and
moral principles can be reconciled and how his personality affected the
national policies and events in the state.
Balraj Puri started his public career
in 1942 as editor of a weekly and an activist. Though he has been writing in
national dailies and academic journals on wide range of subjects, his main
field of study and activity has been Jammu & Kashmir state. He has been a bridge between regional and
ethnic communities of this extremely diverse state and between its popular
leadership even when it was alienated and the national leaders including Nehru
and Jayaprakash Narayan. He has been associated with almost each move that JP
made on Kashmir, with his assistance, advice or critical comments.
Author and co-author of 35 books which
include: Kashmir Towards Insurgency, 1995, 5000 years of Kashmir, 1997. Jammu

Muslims making Kashmir a Muslim majority state.

connected and cogent account of the ghastly events that rocked Kashmir for
about a quarter of a century following her accession to India in October 1947.

THE AWAKENING OF SUPREME CONSCIOUSNESS
Lectures of Swami Lakshman Joo - Recorded, translated and edited by Jankinath Kaul "Kamal"
In the early twentieth century the Kashmir of past glory was blessed with a son who practiced and lived the wonderful philosophy of the Triaka Saiva of Kashmir known as Pratyabhijna Darsana. Swami Lakshman Joo disseminated the postulates of this philosophy through his teachings and writings among the seekers of Truth.
Swamiji chose to deliver a series of seven talks from April to July 1980 at the Sunday meetings which were open to all. The purpose of this series of talks was to acquaint the devotees with preliminary disciplines and esoteric expressions concerning the Kasmir Saiva mystic philosophy because the texts were not always easily comprehensible to all.
Amongst his devout disciples Pandit Jankinath Kaul ‘Kamal’ recorded these talks which were originally delivered in Kashmiri , to the best of his capacity with great faith, sincerity and the love for learning . “Nothing has been left out’ – had expressed Swamiji himself on seeing the manuscript of originally recorded material along with its English translation by “Kamal”.
The present edition contains the same English translation of the lectures delivered by Swami Lakshamjoo Joo. The translator has appended a brief life-sketch of Swamiji, besides adding the discourses on advanced topics of Saivism delivered by Swamiji in English viz. (1) Vatulanatha- Sutras, (2) The Essence of Abhinavagupta’s commentary on the Bhagavad Gita, (3) Kundalini- Vijnana – Rashasyam. Two appendices include sayings of Swami Laksham Joo and the text of Kundalini Rashasyam. The concluding appendix is the Pranamanjali to Swamiji by Pt. Jankinath Kauk ‘Kamal’
Pandit Jankinath Kaul ‘Kamal’ was one of the earliest disciples of the Saiva saint Swami Lakshman Joo of Kashmir. “Kamal” was an epitome of a gentle and a sobre soul. His radiant face emitted spiritual luster and effulgence. His distinguished contributions in the field of promoting our rich tradition through his writings of erudite explanations and translations of the texts will stand as monuments to inspire the posterity. In the present volume the oral tradition of Kasmir Saivism has been recorded for the benefit of the seekers of Truth.
The recipient of President’s award for his outstanding contributions in the field of Sanskrit studies, Pandit Kaul has received several other awards for the recognition of his writing in other languages viz. Kashmiri, Hindi, Urdu and English.

BHAGAVAD GITA – IN LIGHT OF KASHMIR SHAIVISM WITH ORIGINAL AUDIO REVEALED BY SWAMI LAKSHMANJOO
In this Gitartha- Sangraha (Bhagavad Gita), Abhinavagupta has tried to discuss and solve the problems of life in the Light of the Lord’s Song.
What is the main purpose in our life here? Why is our mind torn by conflicting duties and loyalties..?
These are the very difficult questions he sets out to solve in this commentary.
The freedom from all our miseries, he very boldly and emphatically declares, can neither be obtained through the renunciation of the world, nor by hatred towards this world, but by feeling the presence of God everywhere, which is the innermost centre of each and every object.
Swami Lakshmanjoo was born in Srinagar, Kashmir on May09, 1907. He was the last and greatest of the saints and masters of the tradition of Kashmir Shaivism.
Having a deep understanding of the philosophy and practices of Kashmir Shaivism, he was like a splendid and rare jewel.
Beginning from childhood he spent his whole life studying and practicing the teachings of this unique sacred tradition.Because of his intellectual power and strength of awareness, he realized both spiritual and intellectually the reality of its thought.

THE TRIKA SAIVISM OF KASHMIR BY MOTI LAL PANDIT
The importance of Kashmir Saivism lies in the fact that an independent school of Saivism, with its own specific ethos and orientation, emerged from the soil of Kashmir during the eighth century of our era, which till the end of twelfth century made great strides both philosophically and theologically. The type of Saivism that emerged during the eighth century is deeply rooted in the religious outlook of Tantrism. It is the Tantric religious outlook which has served as the substratum for the flowering of various schools of Saivism, and which ultimately terminated in the rise of such philosophical schools as the Spanda and the Pratyabhijna.
The author of the book has made every attempt at explaining as comprehensively as possible the complex theoretical thinking of the Trika. The Trika, although non- dualistic in orientation, does not obliterate the existence of the person, and that is why it accepts Reality as being of the nature of I-consciousness. According to Trika, Reality is both prakasta and vimarsa and so the world we live is an actual manifest condition of the Absolute. Also its theology of divine kenosis discloses that God is not far away from us, but as light of consciousness constitutes our essential nature.
Moti Lal Pandit, being a Kashmiri Pandit, had the opportunity of studying the philosophical and tantric traditions of Trika from various teachers both in and outside the Valley. Trained as a theologian and in modern humanities and classical languages, he has accordingly been the communicator of today’s Hinduism and Buddhism when they encounter the modern world.

It is an appeal and vindication made to His Excellency Viceroy of India, an exposition of the affairs of Kashmir. The whole object has been to state plainly the just case of the Maharaja and to press it upon the attention of His Excellency the Viceroy. The maharaja has suffered too long already and it will rebound to the lasting glory of Lord Lansdowne if, before leaving India, he reverses the doom with which Highness was visited four years and a half ago.
As a loyal subject of the British Government, the author cannot be indifferent to Imperial interest with which the welfare of the country is indissolubly mixed. These interests must have precedence over every other consideration, but is convinced that the reinstatement of the Maharaja will only serve to promote those interests instead of damaging them in anyway. This conviction and the justice of the Maharaja’s cause have emboldened the author to write this ‘vindication and appeal’.

The religious history of India has expressed itself in terms of what has come to be known as the Great Tradition and the Little Tradition. It is the synthesis of these two traditions that has given rise, through the process of evolution, to the present-day Hinduism. It is with this absorptive spirit of Hinduism with which this book deals by pointing out as to how Saivism, though belongings to the Little Tradition, has evolved as part and parcel of Brahmanism, Saivism at the same time has maintained its personal identity in terms of its scriptures and spiritual practices. Although a part of Brahmanism, yet Saivism itself has so evolved in terms of metaphysical thought as to parallel the larger pattern of metaphysical thought of Hinduism in general. Thus the Saivite thought, while following the metaphysical footprints of Brahmanism, ultimately has climaxed in the non-dualism recognitive philosophy of the Trika.
