A Guide Book for all – Demystifying Myriad Global Financial Terms The present day world is full of jargons. Though most of the concepts are known to us, the jargon or acronym seems to be new to us. For instance, the latest buzzword in Management is ‘GRC’. The very word scars the readers. But when expanded as “Governance, Risk Management and Compliance”, we feel relaxed – Oh! It is so simple. Again most part of the world uses ‘Cheque’ as a banking instrument. U.S. has the habit of having its own method of spelling the words and it uses ‘Check’ in the place of Cheque in ...

Everyone, who does Rudra Japa might have been doing Rudra Nyasa – either Laghu Nyasa or Maha Nyasa. But what is the meaning of Nyasa? Why is it done? If it is done knowing the purpose and meaning the results are better achieved. That is what is attempted in this book. Again, when Ekadasha Rudram is being performed Rudra Trishati arcana is also performed. We all know that there are 300 names picked from Sri Rudram about Lord Shiva. What is its meaning? What is the significance of it? This book attempts to give an insight into the 300 names and also comments comparing the meaning with other...

‘A’– none, ‘dvaita’ – dual – Advaita means there is no-two or non-duality. This theory was propounded and globalised by Sree Adi Sankara. He also established the Shanmata, six sub-religions of Hindu religion. Shakta – the worshipers of Shakti, is one of those six sub-religions. When advaita is expounded by Sree Adi Sankara in all his teachers, works, discourses, etc., this book tries to address the advaita principles in Shaakta religion. Again there are very many texts relating to Shakti and hence owned by Shaakta religion. Dealing with all those in one work is humanly ...

An exposition of Similarities in Lalitā Sahasranāma with Soundaryalaharee, Saptashatee, Viśṇu Sahasranāma and Shreemad Bhagavad Geeta. There are lot of Purāṇas and Stotras about every God/ Goddess in Hindu religion. This provides liberty to the devotees to imagine the God/ Goddess in the form of his/ her choice. However, when these Purāṇas and Stotras are studied in depth it is very clear that they all convey the same sense. In one place it is Nārāyaṇa and in another place it is Nārāyaṇī. Somewhere it is as Ardhanārīshvara – i.e. The left half of Śankara is ...

The importance of Samskrtam, as a scientific conveyor of analytical information, has been stressed by various scholars. We are all aware that every other Science like Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Astrology, Astronomy, Aayurvedam, Dhanurvedam and what not, are known to be available in Samskrtam. What is the exception for Computer Science. That is inspiration and encouragement for this book. This may not be a comprehensive one.

When we hear the word avataaram (incarnation), we will immediately think of Dashaavataaram of Lord Vishnu. But Sri Devi also has taken lots of avataarams. The origin (birth) of most of the Gods we hear about are found in Puranas. Sometimes the end is also seen – for instance, Rama, Krishna, etc. However, the origin of lords Vishnu, Shiva and Devi have not been mentioned anywhere in puranas and all – in that sense they are unique. Sri Devi has also taken many an avataaram. In Sahasranaamaa, Trishatee, Ashtotram and all we have different names for Sri Devi. But an avataaram is different ...

The title of this book as “Śrī Devī Gīta” might be surprising. Generally, when we hear the name ‘Gīta’, immediately anyone, almost everyone, will remember Shrimad Bhagavad Gita, advised by Bhagawan Krishna to Arjuna – read in Mahabharata. The Purana, called Sri Devi Bhagavatam contains 12 Skandams. In this text – in the 7th Skanda 10 chapters from 31 to 40 are called “Sri Devi Gita” – a very low profile – not so popular sacred text. The aim of this book is to bring this text to limelight. The verses are provided both in Samskrutam and English with lucid meaning in ...

On account of the huge size, the book is being published in 2 volumes. This is the second volume. Hope the readers will ...

Vedic Mathematics is not only a sophisticated pedagogic and research tool but also an introduction to an ancient civilisation. It takes us back to many millennia of India’s Mathematical heritage. Rooted in the ancient Vedic sources which heralded the dawn of human history and illumined by their erudite exegesis, India’s intellectual, scientific and aesthetic vitality blossomed and triumphed not in only in philosophy, physics, Astronomy, ecology and performing arts but also in Geometry, Algebra and arithmetic. Vedic Mathematics is just around 50 years old and has lot of potential and ...

When we talk about Vedas, we hear lot many jargons/ concepts like – Shruti, Smruti, Puranas, Caturvedas, Rig, Yajur, Sama, Atharvana, Vedantas, Vedangas, Shiksha, Vyakaraņa, Chandas, Nirukta, Jyotisha, Nyaya, Dharma Shastras, Brahmanas, Aranyakas, Kavya and so on so forth. What are all these? All they are one and the same or different? Are they part of Vedas or out of them? Are Vedas meant for one particular religion or caste? Can they be chant by others? Lot many doubts/ clarifications/ hesitations ponder in our mind. In early days, teaching media were limited. The youngsters learned ...

Shivanandalahari is a treasure given by Sri Adi Shankara, an incarnation of Lord Shiva. This is a stotram, we recite to worship Lord Shiva and achieve all the comforts. While many books have been published on Shivanandalahari, one may wonder, if there is a need for another book. All the 100 hymns in Shivanandalahari seemingly Stutis on Lord Shiva – describing Shiva at a glance. Usually, they are recited or sang as songs with music. Each of them is a spell if it is looked inside. There are many philosophies embedded within each. For each spell, there is a special tattva attached. Each ...

We have Sahasranama Stotrams on almost all the Gods/ Goddesses. These verses are split into 1000 names and archana is performed to the concerned God. When anybody hears the word ‘Sahasranama’, immediately Sri Vishnu Sahasranama Stotra will only first come to the mind. Sometimes, may also be reminded of Sri Lalita Sahasranama Stotra. When there are Sahasranamam Stotrams/ Namavalis on every other God, what is the specialty of these two. Sri Vishnu Sahasranama Stotra is in the midst of an Itihasam called Mahabharata. Sri Lalita Sahasranamam Stotra is the core within Brahmanda Puranam. Both...

Not only Shakti is responsible for creation, it is also the agent of all changes. Shakti is cosmic existence as well as liberation, its most significant form being the Kundalini Shakti, a mysterious psycho-spiritual force. Shakti exists in a state of svaatantreeya, dependence on no one, being interdependent with the entire universe. In Puraanas, for story sake, Shakti is denoted as consort of Shiva and again she is mentioned as sister of Vishnu. But, in the Shankaranaaraayana form the left part of Shiva is Naraayana. Again in the form of Ardhanaareeshvara the left part of Shiva is Shakti. ...

As per puranas, originally there were 108 Upanishads. Later some more have been added and now we have 188 Upanishads. Out of these 33 Upanishads are above Sri Devi. Since they talk about Shakti, they are called Shaakta Upanishads. These are very rare and with great difficulty the mantras of these Upanishads are culled out. The mantras are written both in Samskrutam and English. For some of the them the commentary have also been taken from various sources and given in the simple language. Let the readers be blessed by Sri Devi. Om Tat Sat.

Among the names Lalitā is the best. Among the mantras, Shreevidyā is the best. And in Shreevidyā , the Kādividyā is the best. The Sreepura is the greatest among cities; among the Shreevidyā Upāsakās, Paramashiva is the prime devotee. One is attracted to Shreevidyā only in his last birth. Those who take to this worship will have no more births. It requires an extraordinary merit to get initiated in Shreevidyā. Can anyone see objects without vision or assuage their hunger without taking food? Similarly, no one can attain Siddhi, or please the deity, without the help of Shreevidyā. ...

In general, people hearing the words ‘Kali’ or “Maha Kali” or “Bhadra Kali” are a little bit scared and take one step back in worshipping. Or worship her with a fear that else she will do some mischief in one’s life. But the word 'Bhadra' in Samskrutam means 'good'. Beyond doubt this book assures with evidence that Kali is a Goddess of auspiciousness. She looks fearful only for the bad elements. She is so kind with her devotees who worship her with complete focus and attention. This book explains the various forms of Sri Kali along with her Yantras and with her different ...
