Soft cover. Zustand: New. This book is devoted to the understanding of the omnipresent and all-powerful shakti and her sacred abodes known as peethas. The story of Devi Sati and Lord Shiva ended tragically with the death of Sati. An angry and inconsolable Shiva took Sati's lifeless body and started the 'Rudra Tandava' or the dance of destruction. To save the world, Lord Vishnu used his 'Sudarshan chakra' to cut the body of Sati into 51 pieces and each part fell at different places on Earth and each become a revered shakti Peetha. Renowned writer and historian Dr Alka pande narrates that while the shakti Peetha represent a single philosophical fold, they are a testament to the diverse legends of shakti. Different peethas which became holy at the touch of Sati's body have survived hundreds of centuries and have kept alive their local folklore of shakti. Together they evoke the mother goddess as both the nourishing and the destructive force behind the existence of the cosmos. The 51 peethas featured in the book can never be an absolute representation of the peethas of the goddess, since the Devi is anywhere and everywhere.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. 'Yoga is the science of ultimate balancebetween dharma (duty, or "right living"), artha (economic well-being), kama (erotic desire) and moksha (enlightenment or liberation) Sexual satisfaction is thus essential for a full and healthy experience of life. The most visible manifestations of yoga are physical poses or asanas and these were the easiest to depict. Hence the profusion in India's pre-modern sculpture and art of people engaged in a variety of sexual acts, the positions inspired directly by yoga asanas.' A leading authority on India's art and erotic traditions brings us images of lovers in yogic or yoga-inspired posesfor mindful pleasure, extended bliss, or passionate excessand ranging from the stunningly gymnastic to the delightfully over-the-top. With a brilliant introduction explaining the connection between yoga and karma, this book of art is as exquisite as it is unusual.
Hardcover. Zustand: New. 'The freedom and beauty of the green outdoorssoft beds of grass and ferns; the caress of the breeze; the scent of flowers; birdsong and moonlightinflame desire in the nayak (hero) and the nayika (heroine) in ancient and medieval Indian art and literature Whether the nayak and nayika be mortals or gods, love is always erotic, and its most beautiful expression happens in the lap of nature, as the lovers give themselves to each other without inhibition beneath the open sky.' In this exquisite book, one of India's most respected authorities on art, aesthetics and pre-modern sexuality brings us images that celebrate erotic love in the outdoors. With a brilliant introduction providing the context, she has put together glorious visual evidence of the freedom that lovers once enjoyed in South Asia.

Soft cover. Zustand: New. The Ramayana, one of India's great epics, continues to have a great impact on Indian life. Originally written in almost 24,000 stanzas by Valmiki, social and public goals from this epic are manifested into our lives. In this contemporary rendition meant for young adult readers, the author, art historian Dr Alka Pande, describes her take on 15 characters, who present the kaleidoscope of what it is to be humanfrom demonic, mean and negative, to suprahuman and divine. These 15 characters from the epic present a wide canvas of human behaviour and offer insights into ethical questions that affect us all. To show glimpses into just a fewthe characters of Rama, Bharata and Lakshmana provide a model of supportive brotherhood and friendship; Hanuman remains as an optimal remarkable Karma Yogi; Sita is viewed as the best illustration of womanly loyalty and constancy. With an introduction that sets the stage for the 15 chosen personae, Iconic Characters from the Epics offers fresh perspectives into this age-old, yet evergreen, Indian epic.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. 'Until recent centurieswhen Indian society turned prudish and hypocriticalthe sexual sensibilities of society were derived from the kamashastras, which give sexuality pride of place in human experience And in the kamashastras, it appears that adultery is considered almost a prerequisite for good, uninhibited sex that satisfies both partners.' In this delightfully mischievous book, a celebrated scholar of Indian art, aesthetics and sexuality brings us a selection of images from pre-modern India of men and women engaged in sex that is most probably adulterous: married men and womenand courtesanshaving quick or leisurely secret liaisons. With a brilliant introduction providing the context, Alka Pande gives us thrilling visual evidence of secret, subversive love.
