Wealthy, content and devoted to his wife Nina, Swati is one of modern Delhi's more blessed inhabitants. His has a comfortable, happy and privileged life. But when his wife and their unborn child are killed in a road accident, his world, his hopes and dreams collapse around him. Devastated, and in mourning, he turns his back on the city and makes the pilgrimage back to his birthplace, the small southern Indian state of Panayur, to honour his beloved and scatter her ashes on the sacred waters of the Papanisi river. Having returned to the isolated, rural world, Swati finds solace in a long lost companion from his youth, Antara, who acts as unofficial caretaker to the decaying palace. Together, they begin to delve into his family history, and the myths and legends that surround it. And so Swati learns that Panayur was once a kingdom, and that he is the direct descendant of the last of its kings. He learns about his many strange and bloodthirsty ancestors, about the first European invaders who came nearly 400 years ago, and he is reminded of the family legend of the tiger by the river... And on the other side of the world, a cousin Swati never knew he had embarks on his own quest to learn something of his past. His pursuit of his inheritance and his destiny, will take him from the USA to Berlin and a tragic family secret, and on to India, Panayur and the novel's powerful, shocking climax. With its singular narrative voice and seductive rhythm, THE TIGER BY THE RIVER is that rare thing: a genuinely spellbinding novel full of drama, mystery and magic, a tale of unbearable loss but also of the redemptive power of love.

The Village of Widows

By: Ravi Shankar Etteth

When a diplomat at the Madagascan Embassy in Delhi is stabbed to death in seemingly scandalous and mysterious circumstances, the ambassador asks his old friend and fellow chess enthusiast, Jay Samorin, to help find the murderer as quickly and discretely as possible. Samorin is a man with a profound interest in the nature of evil and an unorthodox approach to criminal psychology. The Delhi police are also involved, and the Deputy Commissioner put in charge of the investigation is Anna Kahn - recently transferred from Kashmir where her ruthless pursuit of suspected terrorists had threatened to cause a scandal. Wary of each other, Samorin and Kahn each have highly personal reasons for their obsession with such crime: his father, a war hero, was hanged for the murder of his mother, while her husband was killed by Kashmiri Mujahedeen, and they become uneasy allies in the hunt for the killer. Untangling a web of corruption, of prostitution rings, medical malpractice and embezzlement of foreign aid, their quest takes them into the darkest recesses of their own lives, and beyond as they explore older, deeper mysteries that lie outside the more usual tangible boundaries of a criminal investigation. It is a trail that is fraught with danger, a trail that will eventually bring them to the village of widows...

The Brahmin

By: Ravi Shankar Etteth

About the Book A FAST-PACED THRILLER SET IN THE TIMES OF EMPEROR ASHOKA It is a time of violence as well as calm. Men of peace are spreading the message of the Buddha even as monks are being tortured in the dungeons of Pataliputra. In Magadha, all talk is about the impending war against Kalinga. While King Ashoka plots the movements of his ships and cavalry, Queen Asandhimitra broods over the growing unrest in the kingdom. There is only one man they can both trust to take them through this period of uncertainty and looming danger: the enigmatically named Brahmin, skilful spymaster and custodian of Magadha’s best-kept secrets. Lush with historical detail and unforgettable characters, The Brahmin is an intricately plotted novel that seeks to recreate a near-mythical period in India’s past.

Return of the Brahmin

By: Ravi Shankar Etteth

About the Book A FAST-MOVING SEQUEL TO THE BRAHMIN, SET IN THE IMMEDIATE AFTERMATH OF EMPEROR ASHOKA’S DEVASTATION OF KALINGA After thwarting the malicious Kalingan general Lord Suma and becoming the emperor of Magadha, Ashoka is now faced with a new threat—a faceless foe whose only aim is to topple his empire. His brutal killings of Magadhan officials, kidnappings of royal prisoners and infiltrating of the royal palace of Tamralipti weave a mesh of hatred, intrigue and menace. No one knows who he is, yet he breathes such terror into his network of followers that even a dying man fears uttering his name. He calls himself the Khandapati. There’s only one man in the empire that Ashoka can turn to. Spurred on by years of friendship and sworn loyalty, the Brahmin finds himself back in the royal capital, caught in a violent conspiracy that extends beyond Magadhan boundaries. Will he be able to live up to his role as the protector of the empire or is the merciless villain more than a match for the Brahmin?

Celebrating Silence

By: Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

In this book, Sri Sri discusses topics ranging from doubt and fear to love and dispassion. He describes what it means to be on the spiritual path - a path of service, sadhana and surrender. He leads us through an understanding of God and back to our inner Self - what we really seek, often without knowing. "Some questions can only be answered in silence. Silence is the goal of all answers. If an answer does not silence the mind, it is no answer. Your soul is solidified silence and this solidified silence is wisdom, knowledge. When wisdom dawns, it gives rise to celebration." - H. H. Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

Source of Life

By: Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

Source of Life Become aware of this impermanent nature of life; that is wisdom. Being aware of this impermanent nature of ones life-the changing nature of happenings-you find that there is something in you that has not changed? There is a reference point, in comparison to which, you can say things are changing. Getting to that reference point is "being"? and that is the source of life; that is wisdom.
