Shankar sondeep (19 Ergebnisse)

Hardcover. Zustand: As New. "Ganesha, the elephant-headed God is one of the most loved and ubiquitous deities of the Hindu pantheon. Easily recognizable, he is revered across India. An amalgam of disparate elements, he is at once the creator and the clearer of obstacles, part-animal, yet a patron of learning. He is the presiding deity of material goods as also the lord of spirituality, lord of brahmacharis yet grants progeny to the childless. His enormous appeal stems from his affable temperament, the optimism he fosters and the hopes and desires he fulfills with the powers attributed to him. This book is the first in a series of coffee-table books on Hindu Gods and Goddesses." (jacket).…

Soft cover. Zustand: New. "Situated at a height of over 15,000 feet above the sea level in the Himalayan ranges of Northern India, Sri Hemkunt Sahib has emerged as a popular centre of Sikh pilgrimage which is visited by thousands of devotees from all over the world every summer. According to Bachitra Natak, the autobiographical account of the tenth Guru, Gobind Singh, it was at Hemkunt adorned with seven snow-clad peaks that he meditated in his previous birth. It was during the thirties of the twentieth century that the place was discovered by Sant Sohan Singh and Bhai Modan Singh. Bhai Vir Singh, Sikh savant and a leading figure of the Singh Sabha movement, played an important role first in helping these two gentlemen by verifying for them the location of the place and later by providing financial support for building a gurdwara at Hemkunt. Collective efforts of Sikh pioneers backed by the community support led to the construction of gurdwaras en route including Gobind Ghat (6,000 feet) and Gobind Dham (10,500 feet). In spite of difficult terrain where Hemkunt is situated, devotees from all over the world make it to this unique Sikh shrine every summer. On the way they also visit other important gurdwaras in Rishikesh, Srinagar and Joshimath. On their way back they pay homage at Paonta Sahib, Bhangani Sahib, Tirgarhi Sahib and Shergah Sahib Gurdwaras. Apart from enjoying scenic beauty of the snow-clad peaks and taking a dip into the icy cold water of the lake, the devotees can see rare brahm kamal flowers. Some of them also visit the world famous valley of flowers not far from Sri Hemkunt Sahib.".…

Hardcover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. Sikh Heritage: A History of Valour and Devotion is a succinct and delightfully photographed glimpse into the community s religion, its ten gurus, its temples, traditional systems of governance, history, architecture, and the famous Golden Temple. This book traces the history of valour and devotion of the Sikh community, which forms a small percentage of India s population, yet produces a significant amount of the country s food reserves. Despite the brutal assaults of history faced by the Sikh community such as the partition of Punjab they have still maintained the merit of their heritage. A photographic documentation of the Sikh historicity through objects both in time and space, such as the beautifully captured images of Harmandir, its toshakhana, and takhats or temporal seats of the Sikhs, portray a unique relationship between the edifice and the Sikhs thus, each photograph is a story in itself. This new approach aims at the conception of Sikh heritage not only as the sacred masterpieces of the past to be valued and conserved, but also as emblematic and living spaces to be appropriated by the local communities, who are the bearers of a rich and active collective memory.…

"The book focuses on the mansions built in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, of which in some cases, little remains beyond a pile of rubble, while in others, there is sufficient evidence of an indigenous architectural technique and the gracious lifestyle it once upheld. "It was as far back as 1825 that Bishop Heber visited Delhi and remarked that the spider hangs her tapestry in the palace of the Caesars . In June 1989, Varma and Shankar began their eighteen-month walk through those streets past alleys, through doorways, up narrow staircases and down mildewed basements to produce this invaluable and enduring document of a lost era. Through them an entire period of recent Indian history, encapsulating feudal Nawabs and British Sahebs, comes alive. "The text and photographs are not merely descriptive. Underlying them is a disturbing statement of India s fast diminishing heritage." (jacket) [Pavan K. Varma s books include Ghalib : The Man. The Times: Krishna : The Playful Divine. Sondeep Shankar s books include Childhood in India and The Sikhs.].…
