Akhyayikas III

100 Insightful Zen Stories That Provoke Introspection

By: Rajesh Seshadri

Strangely, despite the human heart's abject need for the Truth, which is the only thing in which it may find liberation, people typically react to Truth with hate and dread. Therefore, the greatest spiritual teachers, including the Buddha, devised a method to circumvent the resistance of their followers, through stories. A narrative has the intrinsic power to mould, inspire, motivate, coach, and leave a metaphorical impression on our subconscious mind. Storytelling is and has always been an important part of the solution. In a world that is overflowing with negative news, sensational broadcasts and dreadful predictions, the Akhyayika series of books are ordained and intended to stimulate, enthuse, uplift, nourish and enlighten. This, the third book in the series, is an anthology of Zen stories. Thousands of epigrammatic, instructive tales describing the realizations of past Zen masters can be found in the Zen canon. These stories have been specially selected, edited and embellished from a variety of sources that constitute mankind’s spiritual inheritance. Pick any story at random – they can be humorous, paradoxical, multifaceted, enigmatic or tantalizing – yet every single one of them will offer a plausible perspective and varying insights. As a spiritual being, allow these stories to sink into your subconscious and emancipate you.

Akhyayikas II

100 Extraordinary Feats of Ordinary People Who Dared to Dream

By: Rajesh Seshadri

We have all been brought up listening to stories from our grandparents, parents, and many others. Stories have an innate capacity to mould us, to shape our thinking, to inspire us, to motivate us, to coach us and impress our subconscious mind metaphorically. Storytelling is, and has always been, an important part of the solution for simulating positive behavioural changes. And when the stories are real-life stories, the benefits get amplified manifold. The emotional strings attached to real human stories bring credibility, engagement, and buy-in. The second book in the AKHYAYIKAS series (Akhyayika means a fable, a short episodic narrative, or an anecdote) is a compendium of 100 short stories of people who dared to dream. Given the rough twist of fate, they decided to pick themselves up and make successes of themselves in their chosen life purpose. All the characters in the stories have one thing in common: they believed in the power of their dreams. The purpose of life is to live a life of purpose!

Sanskrit and the British Empire

Sanskrit and the British Empire

By: Rajesh Kochhar

This book focuses on the career of Sanskrit in British India. Europe’s discovery of Sanskrit was a development of far-reaching historical significance in terms of intellectual curiosity, evangelical considerations, colonial administrative requirements, and political compulsions. The volume critically analyses this interplay between Sanskrit texts and the imperial and colonial presence in India. It goes beyond the question of what the discovery of Sanskrit meant for the West and examines what this collocation meant for India. The author looks at how the British needed Sanskrit for dispensation of Hindu civil law; how learned Pandits were cultivated; and how scholarship was developed transcending utilitarianism. He also studies the extent to which Sanskrit in pre- and non-British India had a bearing on Europe and explores themes such as Jesuit Sanskrit, Hinduism in practice, scripturism, Aryan Race Theory, seductive orientalism, and the introduction of archivalism in India. Rich in archival sources, this unique book will be useful for scholars and researchers of colonial history, modern Indian history, Indology, linguistics, history of education, Sanskrit studies, post-colonial studies, and cultural studies.

Science and the British Empire

By: Rajesh Kochhar

This book studies the linkages between science, technology and institution building in Colonial and Modern India. It discusses the advent and growth of modern science in India in terms of a nested three-stage model comprising the colonial-tool stage, the peripheral-native stage and the Indian response stage, each leading to and coexisting with the next. The book gives an account of developments in various fields of science and education in the latter half of the 19th century and the beginning of contributions made by Indian individuals, continuing into the 20th century. It traces the process of colonization and how it led to studies in astronomy, meteorology, natural history, geography and medicine in India. Rich in archival resources, this book will be indispensable for scholars and researchers of history of education, history of science, colonial education, science and technology studies, South Asian history, Indian history and history in general.
