Barely does one festival end to commemorate the season when another follows to honour a God a prophet or a saint. The festivals of India embody the face and voice of this ancient tradition and their variety the expression of the creativity of its people. It is in its festivals that the country finds its many faces its innumerable forms its kaleidoscopic colours and innovative spirit and yet within that there runs the defining commonality that says emphatically this is India. What comes out of this cultural cauldron is still the commonality that manages to let so many cultural religious and racial differences live and find their own individual path to commemorate a racial mythological and historical memory as well as celebrate a cultural continuity. This book takes the reader through the unique blend of cultural strands that weave the magic of this land. 102 pp.

Hardcover. Zustand: As New. Krishna is a subject that holds eternal fascination for writers, poets, philosophers and artistes. He demands love, faith, devotion and surrender. He has been the favourite subject of researchers and authors. Many books have featured him in their critiques covering various facets of his personality. This volume, Krishna in Performing Arts is `one of its kind' for it is a monumental work that presents a detailed exposition of the multi-faceted influence of Krishna in the field of performing arts. He has influenced poses and stances of certain dance forms; he has been associated with `aas', `maharaas' and the `madan bhramari'; he has caused development and evolution of whole genre of dance theatres, operas, classical dance forms, ballads, music forms, rituals, make-up and costumes associated with performing arts, floor art, as well as cloth paintings that are unique in presentation, content and devotion. He is celebrated in all seasons and he is associated with festivals involving performing arts much more than any other deity. His personality, his deeds and his philosophy serve not only as themes for performing as well as visual arts but also for psychologists and psychoanalysts. This volume with its detailed exploration, exhaustive information and liberal use of photographs is a must for all. There are several interesting nuggets of information that are not to be found in other books on Krishna, including a comparative glimpse into the attributes of Shiva and Krishna, the two principal deities of performing arts.

Soft cover. Zustand: New. The special focus of this book is to make the ardent readers aware of the salient features of this Vedic text on astrology and how it is distinct from the other transcripts on the subject, available thus far. Great concerted efforts were made to collect, collate and combine all the available manuscripts and other related published material contributed by the eminent contemporary writers and commentators and then the sequence of subject matters is aligned to make it comprehensible and authentic. The name of this holistic text is also as per the ancient statement and record, namely 'Parasara Hora'. This book adduces certain critical and important features which were never attempted before. This book in one hundred chapters falls in line with the description or narration: " verse as appeared in the Uttara Khanda of the text collated by Shridhar. Amongst the other contemporary writers of such treatise, Sitaram Jha, Devchandra Jha, Tarachand Shastri to name a few, have formatted this text covering between 71 and 101 chapters, but in most of the cases 20 odd chapters were not from 'Hora Shastra'. These details are available in the introductory note: 'The specialties of this book'. This note also minutely explains the deletion of inapt Shlokas, the addition of relevant Shlokas and also some Shlokas have been rearranged purposefully so are the chapters. Besides, the treatment of some of the subjects is so unique that will fill the void for the readers to experience. These 20 odd supplementary researched chapters culled out of the published and manuscript materials are unavailable in any text of the Brihat Parasara Hora Shastra (BPHS) of the present time. Trust with this value addition, the esteem readers will get immensely benefited.

With the ninth book of hers Uma Vasudev gives her passion for the arts a characteristically individual flavour. Here she got twelve of India's leading classical dancers encompassing five classical dance forms Bharat Natyam Kathak Odissi Manipuri and Kuchipudi to portray format never attempted before. Here you have the essence of Kashmir as revealed in gesture movement poetry and words by dancers poised along photographs of this beautiful land's meandering rivers and towering mountainscapes. While the essays delineate the cultural essence of Kashmir the dancers are etched in evocative sublime form. Each one of them also articulates in words here as creatively as they do in their dance about the new challenges that they had to face in terms of adapting to a different imagery and content. Each one of them described also how they combined their individual reaction with the inspiration provided by the author as director. Designed exquisitely the result is a book so unusual it can take your breath away. 144 pp.
