SURFACE & DEPTH Rohit Bal

FORTHCOMING

Rohit Bal has a distinct and subtle sense of aesthetics. The designer-artist stands out for his attention to detail as he liberates art from his medium—the fabric. Village crafts in vibrant hues, traditional and sacred design philosophies of India, the transient phenomenon of the sub-continent’s urban landscape—Rohit is mindful of much of these as he interprets them in his spectacular and original idiom.

RAJ REWAL Innovative Architecture and Tradition Essays by Kenneth Frampton and Suha Ozkan

FORTHCOMING

A distinguished doyen of architecture from India, Raj Rewal has, for long, set global precedents with his urban narratives of design that have been integrally and richly steeped in their contextual inferences. The concerted juxtaposition of traditional concepts and contemporary syntax is reflective of his fascination for weaving expressions of heritage and history into a modern vocabulary, often revealing layer upon layer of intuitive interpretation and deep meaning. Effortlessly threading together episodes of design, he merges scale with surroundings and geometry with rhythm, binding space with structure and nuance, modulating form and light, and coursing the exterior through the interior, to create a series of interconnected experiences that are as distinct as they are together. Across a repertoire of residential, housing, public and institutional buildings, his work is characterised by concern for climatic sensitivity, humane architecture and the promotion of craftsmanship and new technologies.

Rewal has been felicitated with many honours such as the Gold Medal from the Indian Institute of Architects, the Robert Mathew Award from the Commonwealth Association of Architects and the Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres award from the French government. Spanning over four decades, his is an architecture of ambition and hope, duly exploring space, form-making, structural and construction ingenuity and material possibilities, forever pushing the envelope in the defined amalgamation of tradition and innovation.

JEWELLED TEXTILES Gold and Silver Embellished Cloth of India Vandana Bhandari

FORTHCOMING

Textiles embellished with gold and silver have been desired and cherished across the world since Antiquity. In the Indian subcontinent, too, the use of metal to enhance the value and beauty of cloth has been part of an ancient tradition. Jewelled Textiles: Gold And Silver Embellished Cloth of India presents a selection of a rich variety of textiles and dresses ornamented with precious metals—gold and silver. These luxurious and often opulent textiles have always been associated with wealth, beauty, supremacy, ceremony and divinity in the subcontinent. Gold and silver embroidery in India is remarkable for the manifold styles in which the threads are manipulated to produce results on cloth surfaces that enhance and ornament the character of the textile.

Travel and Culture Binding Hardback Size 160 x 230 mm Pages 512

Exploring India from the time of the Indus Valley Civilisation to its modern urban cities, India: A Land of Contrasts paints a vivid picture of the country’s past and present. The book makes an interesting use of the country’s topography to demarcate distinct ways of Indian life, and to highlight the diversity that has made it a haven for tourists from across the world.

This marriage of the old and new is an allpervasive theme of this book, where cities and cultures, rites and rituals, livelihood and lifestyles, reflect this co-existence. With breathtaking images of India, the book serves as the perfect appetiser for those who would like to partake of India’s effervescence and lose themselves in her myriad offerings, even if momentarily.

THE POWER OF YOGA Yamini Muthanna

FORTHCOMING

The Power of Yoga explores the profound nature of yoga, not by professing ancient Sanskrit texts or philosophies, but by demystifying them and making them relevant to our time and age. While the Yoga Sutras (ancient texts) have provided us a road map to understand the path of this science, 21 yoga sequences for modern lifestyle-related maladies makes them accessible to the modern-day practitioner in a language he or she can relate to, without taking away from the authenticity of the technique. This book primarily contains a ‘Sequence Manual’, which offers customised yoga routines to aid people to cope better with their day-to-day demanding schedules. Ultimately, it seeks to bring readers closer to the deeper meaning of yoga and encourages them to explore it even further.

Yamini has conducted workshops at yoga studios in London, New York, Washington DC, and Los Angeles. A purist who does not tamper with the techniques handed down by ancient masters, Yamini has been successful in translating the Sutras in a way that is accessible to common people. For instance, Yamini has mapped out specific yoga sequences to overcome insomnia, prepare for a big meeting, speech or presentation at work, increase creativity, overcome addictions, social anxiety, and so on. One of her missions is to spread awareness about the true nature of yoga, a way of life that ultimately brings about mental and physical transformation by working at the deepest level of our being. The proposed book is a part of this endeavour. Also a distinguished Bharatanatyam danseuse, Yamini uses her yoga skills and learnings to add to the grace and beauty of the dance form.

TAJ MAHAL Multiple Narratives

Taj Mahal: Multiple Narratives is proposed as a new perspective on the Taj Mahal and Agra. The city and its iconic monuments have often been written about exclusive of each other. Many stories from Agra form the pillars on which the Taj Mahal was built. Pleasure gardens or a dusty township of the Middle Ages, Agra has many dimensions. The book will look at global events, national events and showcase contemporary buildings and subsequent events which transformed it from a sacred personal space to the World’s Heritage.

THE NAGAS The Lost Tribes of India’s Northeast Bano Haralu

FORTHCOMING People/Culture/Customs Binding Hardback Size 241 × 305 mm Pages 192 Rights World

For many years, the only stories told to the outside world about Nagaland, a fourth-world indigenous cultural group, centred around their love of head-hunting. But the land itself is populated by esoteric tribals collectively known as the Nagas. The tales of their respective origins are found in myths, songs and poetry, or lost to time. There are sixteen major tribes and several other sub-tribes, each with a distinct dialect, not comprehensible to the others. Often, the tribes are distinguished by their colourful woven shawls. Today, head-hunting does not exist and that changed with the advent of Christianity—now the dominant religion of the state. Here we bring you an incredible photo-documentary, accompanied by an authentic text, which reveals a beautiful land that time forgot. BANO HARALU, a blue-blooded Naga of the Zeliang tribe, was born and brought up in Nagaland. She has worked for major television companies for several years and now divides her time between Nagaland and Kolkata. She has won the Chameli Devi award for excellence in rural reporting.

Shammi Kapoor The Untold Story

Shammi Kapoor was the first to take on the sacrosanct image of the holier-than-thou Bollywood Hero. His contribution, like Dilip Kumar’s, has seeped into the mainstream of popular Hindi cinema to become a part of the larger tradition, which generation after generation of actors have continued to draw from. Yet, if Shammi’s talent went unacknowledged for long, it had something to do with the failure of the critics of the time to comprehend his highly individualist style and swagger. The brazenness with which he violated the image of the conventional hero made them pass him over as a freak. But the Shammi Kapoor legacy has stood the test of time.

The hugely popular 1917 Bengali novella Devdas by the celebrated author Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay has, since the silent era, inspired numerous film versions in various Indian languages. It is, however, Bimal Roy’s 1955 film with its excellent and subtle dialogue, fluid direction and sublime cast that is still widely considered the most important adaptation in Hindi/Urdu.

Born in Sialkot (now in Pakistan) in 1915, Rajinder Singh Bedi was an eminent Urdu writer with a varied and distinguished literary and film career that spanned fifty years. An important member of the Progressive Writers Association, Bedi authored seventy short stories and many novels. He won several awards for his literary work, including the Sahitya Akademi Award in 1965 for his classic Urdu novella, Ek Chadar Maili Si. His exceptional film dialogue shows his leanings towards a natural and realistic language. This gifted writer died in 1984, aged sixty-nine.

This most popular and talented poet/songwriter died in 1980, aged sixty-one.

Directed by the renowned writer, Abrar Alvi, Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam, adapted from Bimal Mitra’s eponymous Bengali novel, Shaheb Bibi Golam, intrepidly explores the layered relationship that develops between Chhoti Bahu, a neglected, cloistered housewife, and Bhootnath, her male confidante, against the backdrop of late 19th-century feudal Calcutta (now Kolkata).

The inspirational story of Medha Anup Jalota Bharathi S Pradhan

NEW

Attractive Medha Gujral and renowned filmmaker, Shekhar Kapur, ended their high-profile marriage in a Tis Hazari divorce court in New Delhi. Bhajan Samrat Anup Jalota had two infamously unsuccessful marriages behind him. When Medha and Anup met, a series of failed relationships and a passion for music was the only common ground between them. But as man and woman, they became inseparable. The arrival of precious baby Aryaman multiplied their happiness. However, this unbridled bliss was rudely truncated when Medha was diagnosed with a debilitating congenital heart disease in 2000. Since then, the Jalotas have seen it all—a chordae of her mitral valve cut by mistake in a US hospital, an emergency open-heart surgery, a lifesaving heart transplant and a hospital check-in scheduled in New York on, believe it or not, 9/11 in 2001. But, despite a decade and more of dwindling health, nearencounters with death, emotional oscillations and spiralling medical bills, Anup and Medha celebrate every moment of their life together. Heartfelt: The Inspirational Story Of Medha Anup Jalota is a living statement of how the mind can battle, even heal the body, when medical science gives up on you. Bharathi S Pradhan, currently the editor of The Film Street Journal and a Sunday columnist with The Telegraph, has edited Star & Style, Lehren, Showtime, Savvy (Consulting Editor) and Movie, besides writing for a wide variety of publications, including Eve’s Weekly, Femina, The Free Press Journal, Midday and Reader’s Digest.

THE DIVINE LIGHT

In an age of eroding values and spiritual vacuum, Guruji’s love for those who turn to him remains unconditional. Many who have plumbed the depths of despair have met him, bowed at his feet, received his blessings and walked the path of bliss and peace. Others have sought refuge in him without ever having touched his physical being and felt him unravelling their karmic destiny to guide them towards their true calling in life: living by and spreading Guruji’s message of love and compassion.

The Divine Light presents accounts by prominent people from different walks of life—co-director PVR, Sanjeev Kumar Bijli; chartered accountant RP Sharma; Kamal Kumar of Handicrafts Emporium; Sabina Dhand, a singer from Manchester; photojournalist Raghu Rai; industrialist Vikram Baidyanath; fashion designer Jattinn Kochhar; designer Bamby Singh, also a follower of Guruji—of the transformations brought about by Guruji’s presence in their lives, and how surrendering to Guruji has ushered in peace and joyous abundance.

Anita Kumar was born in the UK with a hole in her heart. Brought up in a tradition-bound family where she was groomed to be an ideal homemaker, Anita was frequently hospitalised for asthma and allergic skin disorders. India seemed to be an ideal escape from these seasonal ordeals, and her prayers were finally answered when she married and moved to Delhi. However, the fairy tale wedding soon turned into a nightmare, with the city’s inclement weather only adding to her woes— physical and psychological. Turning the Page, Anita’s first book, records her journey into despair, and her refuge in scepticism and darkness before providence propels her to a life-altering meeting with her Guruji. As she surrenders to him, he restores her to life once again, healing her soul and body miraculously.

THE SACRED INDIAN TAROT Symbols, Images and Icons from Indian Philosophy Kiren Rai

NEW

A beautiful, hand-drawn deck of Indian tarot cards, The Sacred Indian Tarot: Symbols, Images and Icons from Indian Philosophy combines the classicism of the Tarot with the aesthetic richness of Indian mythology. The book contains twenty-two (major arcanas) unique hand-painted cards with images taken from a rich pantheon of Indian mythology. The cards of the Tarot consist of potent archetypes rooted in Medieval and Renaissance Europe. The symbols, forms and figures used to represent these archetypes have been taken from Indian epics and scriptures and are rooted in the tenets of Hindu cosmic principles giving it a truly unique Indian perspective. The Sacred Indian Tarot deck is truly a collector’s item which can be used to gain a refreshing insight into love and relationships, finances, career and more. The book breaks new ground in Tarot divination making it a wonderful tool for self-discovery. KIREN RAI’s tryst with the Tarots began around twenty years ago, when she was introduced to the Tarot by a famous psychic and Tarot reader way back in East Africa, where she lived in the early part of her life. Drawn to the esoteric, her experience with the Tarot has been wonderfully positive, empowering her and helping her connect with the most essential parts of herself. Spiritually, the Tarot played a crucial part in selecting her path over the years. She has regularly used the Tarot as a tool for exploration and divination and has done readings for a group of friends, who value her insights and look to her for a fresh understanding of a situation. Fascinated by Tarot symbology, she has explored various decks and found esoteric similarities in the symbols used in all decks. This inspired her to put together an Indian deck of cards, replacing the traditional Tarot archetypes with Indian images and symbols. The deck took her nearly two years to complete and has been a pure expression of her creativity. While making the deck she has come to completion within herself and believes that this mosaic of Indian cards, created by upcoming Indian artists should be shared with a broader horizon of people.

Trained in meditation, the Scriptures and Kriya Yoga, Paramhansa Yogananda was sent by his teacher, as an emissary, to spread, Oriental spiritual knowledge in the West. This he achieved most successfully during his stays in the United States of America from 1920 to 1952. Thus, he penned a first-hand account of his life experiences in Autobiography of a Yogi, which traces the journey of a young Mukunda Lal Ghosh who is thirsting for divine knowledge.

The humble disciple with his simplified explanations of divinity and miracles, linking Indian philosophy with Christian theosophy, paid a befitting tribute to his guru and the mission he was entrusted with. The Yogi entered Mahasamadhi on 7th March, 1952, on the historic occasion of the banquet held in honour of the then Indian Ambassador. His body kept in a Los Angeles mortuary, remained fresh even twenty days after his death. People whose lives have been affected by his teachings regularly visit his mausoleum in California.

We have forbidden Margo to cough at night, although she has a bad cold and make her swallow large doses of codeine. I am looking forward to Tuesday when the van Daans arrive; it will be much more fun and not so quiet. It is the silence that frightens me so in the evenings and nights. I wish like anything that one of our protectors could sleep here at night. I can’t tell you how oppressive it is never to be able to go outdoors, also I’m very afraid that we shall be discovered and be shot. That is not exactly a pleasant prospect. We have to whisper and tread lightly during the day, otherwise the people in the warehouse might hear us… At the young age of 13, Anne frank and her family, comprising her parents and her elder sister Margot went into hiding in an Amsterdam warehouse, to escape forceful deportation by Nazis. For the next two years, the Franks, along with another family of three and a single boarder, shared the closed confines of this ‘Secret Annexe.’ In August 1944, the inmates were betrayed, arrested and cruelly torn apart by the circumstances that followed. Anne had been gifted a diary on her 13th birthday. The diary became her closest friend and confidante during the years in hiding and here she recorded her feelings and experiences with utmost honesty. It is believed that Anne wanted to publish a book based on her diary. Autobiography Binding Paperback Size 129 × 198 mm Pages 264 ` 195 Price Rights: World

The readers cannot help but wonder about the kind of woman Anne could have grown up to be.

THINK AND GROW RICH Napoleon Hill

“In every chapter of this book, mention has been made of the moneymaking secret which has made fortunes for hundreds of exceedingly wealthy men whom I have carefully analysed over a long period of years.

“It was Mr. Carnegie’s idea that the magic formula which gave him a stupendous fortune ought to be placed within reach of people who do not have time to investigate how men make money, and it was his hope that I might test and demonstrate the soundness of the formula through the experience of men and women in every calling.

“The secret was brought to my attention by Andrew Carnegie more than half a century ago. The canny, loveable old Scotsman carelessly tossed it into my mind when I was but a boy... When he saw that I had grasped the idea, he asked if I would be willing to spend twenty years or more preparing myself to take it to the world... I said I would, and with Mr. Carnegie’s cooperation, I have kept my promise.

“He believed the formula should be taught in all public schools and colleges, and expressed the opinion that if it were properly taught, it would so revolutionise the entire educational system that the time spent in school could be reduced to less than half.”

Born in a one-room cabin in Virginia, Napoleon Hill (1883– 1970) was an American author who came upon his life’s purpose in 1908, when he met one of the most celebrated industrialist-philanthropists of the time, Andrew Carnegie, as part of a project to write about the lives of a series of financially successful, powerful men. Hill learnt that Carnegie believed in a kind of secret formula for success in the world, a simple set of rules which would do the trick for whoever could master them. Spotting the spark in Hill, Carnegie asked him if he could systematically analyse the lives of over five hundred noted personalities who seemed to have applied this very magic recipe for success, for others to benefit from. This was the primary impetus behind Hill’s writing, Think and Grow Rich (1937), an all-time bestseller in the genre of personal success literature. Of these stories, the most moving story was about his own son, Blair, who was born without any hearing organs at all but, through faith and perseverance, grew up to hear quite well. Later in life, Napoleon Hill addressed his many personal success teachings as ‘The Philosophy of Achievement’, of which he considered democracy, capitalism, freedom and harmony to be significant constituents.

CELESTIAL GALLERY Romio Shrestha Text: Ian A. Baker Foreword: Deepak Chopra Afterword: Robert A.F. Thurman

NEW

Boldly reinterpreting the age-old Tibetan and Nepalese art form known as Thangka, Celestial Gallery offers beautifully detailed representations of mandalas, or celestial spheres. Simply gazing upon the mandalas is meant to inspire in the viewer a heightened state of intention and clarity. Master painter Romio Shrestha and his team of artisan monks have created postmodern versions of these enlightened Buddha realms from hand-ground malachite, lapis lazuli, marigolds, and other rare substances. Painted at times with mere three hairs from the tail of a cat, these multifaceted scenes of otherworldly deities are rich with hauntingly powerful detail. Depictions of White Tara, Green Tara, the Medicine Buddha, and many other celestial beings invite and inspire meditation and reflection. ROMIO SHRESTHA is a master in the artistic traditions of Nepal and Tibet. He directs a school of artist-craftsmen in the Kathmandu valley of Nepal, painting in the Newari style. Shrestha’s work is represented in the British Museum, the Victoria and Albert Museum, the American Museum of Natural History, and the Tibet House in New York City. His first book of paintings was The Tibetan Art of Healing. He lives in Kathmandu and Ireland with his wife and two children. IAN A BAKER is a scholar, writer and explorer who has lived for many years in Kathmandu and has travelled widely throughout Tibet and the Himalayas. In 1993 he was a member of a research team that made the first successful journey to Pemako through the Namche Barwa/Tsangpo Gorge, in more than 60 years.
