The authors have covered an area which include not only Varanasi District but Chandoli and Bhadoi two new districts that were carved out of the erstwhile greater Varanasi District. All the plants mentioned have a direct use in Ayurveda and are found both as purposely cultivated plants as well as wild plants often mistaken for weeds by those ignorant of their true use. Both authors closely associated with Banaras Hindu University have prepared this volume to serve not only the academic community but the general public also with a view to saving many of these rare and medicinally useful plants. 218 pp.

Soft cover. Zustand: As New. The Gospel of Buddha is the story of an individual who almost five hundred years before Christ conquered the civilized world with simplicity love and compassion. It provides details of Buddha's birth life and belief and contains parables and stories associated with Buddhist thought. First published in 1894 and reprinted several times since The Gospel of Buddha by Paul Carus enjoys the rank of a classic today. Who was the Buddha. What did he teach. How do his thoughts differ from those of Christ. While answering these questions Paul Carus has set off a thought stimulating process in this book. He has shown Buddhist and Christian teachings in a new light altogether exploring the relationship between the two in a convincing manner. The Gospel of Buddha will help people comprehend Buddhism better. Besides its simple style will also impress the readers with the poetic grandeur of the Buddha's personality. However the real purpose of the book is to sketch the picture of a religious leader of the remote past with a view to making it bear upon the living present and become a factor in the formation of the future. The striking and beautiful line drawings in the book are based on ancient paintings from the Ajanta caves and on works from the classical period of Buddhist art.
