Understand where we came from. Whether you're an avid student of the Bible or a skeptic of its relevance, The Book That Made Your World will transform your perception of its influence on virtually every facet of Western civilization. Indian philosopher Vishal Mangalwadi reveals the personal motivation that fueled his own study of the Bible and systematically illustrates how its precepts became the framework for societal structure throughout the last millennium. From politics and science, to academia and technology, the Bible's sacred copy became the key that unlocked the Western mind. Through Mangalwadi's wide-ranging and fascinating investigation, you'll discover: What triggered the West's passion for scientific, medical, and technological advancement How the biblical notion of human dignity informs the West's social structure and how it intersects with other worldviews How the Bible created a fertile ground for women to find social and economic empowerment How the Bible has uniquely equipped the West to cultivate compassion, human rights, prosperity, and strong families The role of the Bible in the transformation of education How the modern literary notion of a hero has been shaped by the Bible's archetypal protagonist Journey with Mangalwadi as he examines the origins of a civilization's greatness and the misguided beliefs that threaten to unravel its progress. Learn how the Bible transformed the social, political, and religious institutions that have sustained Western culture for the past millennium, and discover how secular corruption endangers the stability and longevity of Western civilization. Endorsements: “This is an extremely significant piece of work with huge global implications. Vishal brings a timely message.” (Ravi Zacharias, author, Walking from East to West and Beyond Opinion) “In polite society, the mere mention of the Bible often introduces a certain measure of anxiety. A serious discussion on the Bible can bring outright contempt. Therefore, it is most refreshing to encounter this engaging and informed assessment of the Bible’s profound impact on the modern world. Where Bloom laments the closing of the American mind, Mangalwadi brings a refreshing optimism.” (Stanley Mattson, founder and president, C. S. Lewis Foundation) “Vishal Mangalwadi recounts history in very broad strokes, always using his cross-cultural perspectives for highlighting the many benefits of biblical principles in shaping civilization.” (George Marsden, professor, University of Notre Dame; author, Fundamentalism and American Culture)

Over the last thirty years, several disciplines and sub-disciplines have emerged to deepen our understanding of public policy. However, this literature is dominated by western scholarship and has developed within the context of American and (Western) European public institutions. Efforts to place this literature in the context of the global South have been conspicuous by their absence. This book seeks to bridge this gap by placing this literature in the context of Indian public policy processes and reviews key concepts, theories and models that are employed in the study for students of public policy, policy change and administration and governance and management. It aims to shape our understanding of public policy processes as developed across several disciplines and study them within the Indian context, explaining most ideas and concepts with reference to India and the global South.
My objective to write this book is to introduce Vaidic Physics, which exists since the beginning of the cosmos and which was discovered and preserved by our Ṛṣi-s, to not only my loving county Āryāvarta but also to all the youth of the world who are our future. I wrote this book based on the text Ved Vigyan Alok, written by my honourable Guru Acharya Agnivrat Naishthik Ji after 10 years of hard work and which is the scientific interpretation of Aitaraiya Brāhmaṇa (approx. 7000 years old) of Ṛgveda. The topic of this text is ‘Creation of Cosmos’. It consists of the science of the formation of Prakṛti from elementary state to the stars. There is a playlist named ‘Ved Vigyan Alok Classes’ on our YouTube channel ‘Vaidic Physics’ having several videos and you can watch them know more. In future also we will keep making more such videos on these topics.

A lively exploration of the Kayasth foodscape through an intimate portrait of a family’s – and a community’s – social mores. Known as much for the lavishness of its dining table spreads as for its intellectual and cultural capital, the Kayasth community, spread across many parts of India, has a unique history that has over centuries influenced its amazingly varied ‘fusion’ cuisine. In Mrs LC’s Table, Anoothi Vishal presents a rich account of the world of the Kayasths and its famed khatirdari, or generous hospitality, through her memories of her imperious grandmother – Mrs LC to the world. Vivid vignettes of feasts and fasts, pedigreed matrimonial alliances and the pressures to be just as accomplished in music as in gastronomy come together with delectable descriptions of ingredients, culinary techniques and recipes in this sumptuous narrative. As Vishal recounts the fascinating history behind signature Kayasth dishes – dals turned artfully into subzi and snacks, mock-meat delicacies made of the most innocuous ingredients, slow-cooked meat dishes, pulaos, tahiris, kebabs and pasande, tangy pickles and delicious desserts – what emerges is the story of the incredible adaptability and inventiveness of a community given to easy assimilation of a variety of influences.
