1. Aryaa : An Anthology of Vedic Women :-

She chose the life of a warrior, leading from the front, protecting her ancestral kingdom.

She waded through treacherous destiny. Her uncompromising love restored her husband back to glory.

She lived in a hermitage, chose a king as husband, and challenged his dharma in open sabha- a mother who shaped an emperor who reshaped the civilization.

She watched the play of beauty and destruction from afar. When she took centre stage, she nurtured the future to find its feet.

She was regal and virtuous. She embarked on a divine mission, and chose an incredible destiny and groom for herself.

She, a fisherwoman, rose to rule an empire, navigating challenges and making tough decisions with her steely resolve.

She led her life on her own terms, choosing to stay on the sidelines but shaping life at the centre.

She courageously pursued truth, unafraid to challenge the greatest scholars on metaphysics. An inspiration to seekers of all times.

She was the wind beneath her husband’s wings. When he pursued the ultimate truth, she too walked the unyielding path.

She sought an improbable marriage. Her penance and devotion won her heaven, and for her husband too.

She has many faces, different roles in different times, embodying the essence of a great tradition. She carved a niche, charted her own path but upheld Dharma at all times.

She is Aryaa – the glorious woman of Bharatavarsha – manifestation of the eternally present Shakti.

2. From The Beginning Of Time :-

The Puranas, as suggested by their name, describe events deep in the earth’s past. Finding a complete cosmology in the ancient Puranic texts that is mostly aligned to the view of cutting-edge science is almost incredible.

This book attempts to do so – through an exploratory analysis. The narrative is pieced together by exploring familiar stories from the Puranas in great depth. In the well-known story of the Descent of Ganga, the extra-terrestrial origin of Earth’s waters has been described in amazing detail. The story of the birth of the Sun God Martanda bears a striking resemblance to the origin of the sun. The Churning of the Milk Ocean recounts the re-appearance of the Moon. The book delves into many such stories along with external evidence to come up with a compelling chronicle of our Universe.

The book shows the Puranic texts in a fascinating new light. It also serves as a primer to the general interest reader by tackling some of the questions that modern science is grappling with in its study of the cosmos.

3. Caste, Conversion, A Colonial Conspiracy :-

Every Hindu walks through life carrying a subliminal guilt that his or her ancestors were “caste discriminators” and every devout Christian walks tall and proud in the knowledge that his or her ancestors helped to free the crushed, downtrodden from the depraved Hindoo caste system, and being an accepted “truth” no-one questions it anymore. What if they are both victims of the same deception, of the same multigenerational fraud?

Almost everyone has heard of the “Ancient Hindu Caste” system and how horrible it is, but what if it wasn’t ancient and it wasn’t Hindu? Almost everyone on the planet knows that the colonialist erasure of indigenous languages and ideas was a horrific chapter in human history, but what if it’s not over, what if it’s morphed into a new form, just as devastating and destructive, and what if the Caste issue holds the key to revealing it?

In 2016, the British Hindu community was rocked when it became the target of demonisation and dehumanisation by anti-Hindu Anglican Evangelists. Allegations were made that caste discrimination was not a relic of history but was present and not only present but rife amongst the British Indian community. The author Pt Satish K Sharma, a Dharmic Scholar and Theologian and a long serving community worker undertook the task of determining the real history of Caste and of establishing its presence or absence in the 21st century Britain.

The revelations contained in this work were the revelations which incinerated the false claims which had been leveled, revealed the hidden hand behind the anti-Hindu media campaign but also provided the context and framework with which this long running civilisational wound could heal. This book is essential reading for every Hindu AND every Christian if Caste related suffering is to stop.
4. Biological Decoding Of The Hindu Gods And Goddesses :-

Know the meaning of Hindu Gods and Goddesses?

Know the great philosophy of worship in idols by the Hindus? What makes an Avatar of Lord Vishnu? Why Devi Durga is worshipped in many different manifestations? How come death (Yama) is a God! How Hindu Gods are parts of health sciences? ………..

This book has found a foundation of the Hindu religion that enables to know Hinduism better, to find answers to all such questions.

This book tells about the meanings of the Hindu Gods. It speaks about the living body. Body/health and Gods are the same! The science of “life” of ancient times is Hindu Gods, by names. The book has decoded the Hindu Gods, including astrological planets, in the language of anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, physics, behavioural science, etc. giving new dimensions to the religion, and our biological understandings.

Welcome to the knowledge core of the Hinduism. Welcome to the core knowledge of the body functioning applicable to all the streams of biology and health science including Yoga, Siddha, Ayurveda, Homeopathy, etc.

5. Temple Management In The Āgama-S : With Special Reference To Kāmikāgama :-

For at least 1500 years, temple design, construction and worship have followed the canon of the āgama-s. Shouldn’t temple management also follow the āgama-s?

Steeped in a history of more than two millennia, the real bequest of India’s ancient temples is that they are still living sacred spaces. The gods that were invoked in these temples more than a thousand years ago, continue to reside in the sanctums and gaze benevolently upon their devotees. The bells ring for morning service as they did a thousand years ago. The ācārya waves the ārati just as another ācārya did a thousand years ago. No other organization in the world can boast of such amazing continuity. The secret to this longevity lies in the āgama-s.

Āgama-s are the traditional canon believed to be as old as the Vedas, with detailed manuals on temple-building, consecration and ritual worship. While the world outside the temples – a world of kings and kingdoms – has changed, temples continue to follow the āgama-s in letter and spirit in their everyday religious function, notwithstanding the many changes in administrative formats.

By studying the activities of the temple, material and manpower required, qualifications and roles prescribed for the temple professionals, this thesis attempts to reconstruct an āgamic temple management framework, using the Kāmikāgama as primary text with other āgama-s, secondary literature and inscriptional evidence as required.
