Yathartgeeta
Srimad Bhagavad Gita explained verse by verse after 5200 years by Swami Shri Adgadanand Ji Maharaj:What were the inner feelings and emotions of Shri Krishn when he preached the Geeta? All inner feelings cannot be expressed in words. Some can be told, some are expressed through the body language, and the rest are to be realised which can only be understood by a seeker through experiences. Only after attaining the state which Shri Krishn had been to, an accomplished teacher knows what Geeta says. He simply does not reiterate verses of the Geeta but, in fact, gives experiences to the inner feelings of the Geeta. This is possible because he sees the same picture which was there when Shri Krishn preached the Geeta. He therefore, sees the real meaning, can show it to us, can evoke the inner feelings and would lead us on the path of enlightenment. Rev. Shri Paramhansji Mahraj was also an enlightened teacher of such a level and the compilation of his words and blessings to grasp the inner feelings of the Geeta itself is the 'Yatharth Geeta".The Author of the Yatharth Geeta is a saint who is bereft of worldly education, yet is internally organised by the grace of accomplished Guru, which become possible after a long practice of meditation. He considers writing as an obstacle on the path to the Supreme Beatitude, yet his directions become the cause for this treatise. The Supreme Being had revealed to him that all his inherent mental attitudes have been nullified excepting a minor one writing of "Yatharth Geeta" Initially he had tried his best to cut this attitude too, through meditation, but the directive prevailed. Thus the treatise, "Yatharth Geeta" become possible. Where ever mistakes crept into the treatise, the Supreme Being himself rectified them. We bring forth this book with the wish that the Swamiji's motto "the internalized archive peace" would become "peace for everyone at the end".
THE REPUBLIC BY PLATO
Presented in the form of a dialogue between Socrates and three different interlocutors, this classic text is an enquiry into the notion of a perfect community and the ideal individual within it. During the conversation, other questions are raised: what is goodness?; what is reality?; and what is knowledge? The Republic also addresses the purpose of education and the role of both women and men as guardians of the people. With remarkable lucidity and deft use of allegory, Plato arrives at a depiction of a state bound by harmony and ruled by philosopher kings.

Ramayana Unravelled & Mahabharata Unravelled
Ramayana Unravelled No epic has moved the consciousness of millions like the Ramayana. The appeal of the story of Rama is such that it has inspired the imagination of countless storytellers over the centuries, across the length and breadth of the subcontinent. From Jain poets to Bhavabhuti, from Kamban to Goswami Tulsidas, many have retold the Ramayana in their own language, infusing their own unique flavour. Though the story of Rama is much loved and well-known, questions prevail. Ramayana Unravelled attempts to address some key concerns: How did his childhood and youth shape Rama Why did Rama agree to go on vanvas was it only to obey his father or was there more to it How was the relationship of Rama and Seeta Is the Ramayana inherently misogynist, considering the characterisation of Seeta, Shurpanakha, Kaikeyi and Tara What led to the downfall of Ravan Ami Ganatra takes the reader through the events of the Ramayana, resolving conundrums and underlining the reasons the epic continues to be cherished to this day Mahabharata Unravelled: Lesser-Known Facets of a Well-Known History Millennia have passed since the dharma yudhha of the cousins shook the land of Bharata. But this history of our ancestors continues to fascinate us. Even today, we have passionate discussions about the people and their actions in the epic, fervidly defending our favourites and denouncing others. The number of works on the Mahabharata-adaptations, retellings and fiction-that still get written is a testimony to its enduring relevance. While the general storyline is largely known, a lot of questions and myths prevail, such as-What was the geographical extent of the war Did Drona actually refuse to take on Karna as his disciple What were Draupadis responsibilities as the queen of Indraprastha Did she ever mock Duryodhana Were the women in the time of the Mahabharata meek and submissive What were the names of the war formations during the time What role did the sons of the Pandavas play Does the south of India feature at all in the Mahabharata What happened after the war These and many other intriguing questions continue to mystify the contemporary reader. Author Ami Ganatra debunks myths, quashes popular notions and offers insights into such aspects not commonly known or erroneously known, based solely on facts as narrated in Vyasas Mahabharata from generally accepted authentic sources. For a history of such prominence and influence as the Mahabharata, it is important to get the story right. So pick this book up, sit back and unveil the lesser-known facts and truths about the great epic. Mahabharata Unravelled : Lesser-Known Facets of a Well-Known History brings to light fascinating details and aspects of the people and events in the great epic not commonly known, to answer some often-asked questions and clarify prevalent myths.

As a study of the anatomy of organizations in conflict, The Art of War applies to competition and conflict in general, on every level from the interpersonal to the international.
