Death, Dying and Beyond
By Dr. Alok Pandey
28+330 pp. (14 x 22 cm) Rs.225/-
ISBN 81-7060-237-8

The one thing that is at once the most predictable and unpredictable about life is death. And yet man lives forgetting death as if he were immortal and, between these two, an outer, visible fact of death and an inner innate sense of immortality hangs the balance of life, - a paradox to which we do not easily find the key.

The author, Dr. Alok Pandey, is a seeker on the path of Integral Yoga. A psychiatrist by profession, he has had several unanswered encounters with death during the course of his medical practice. It is only when he came in touch with Sri Aurobindo and the Mother that he found these issues abundantly answered. This book is an attempt to find answers to the core issues related to death, not just theoretically but practically, supported by anecdotes and experiences arising from the author's brush with death.

Pallava Rock Architecture and Sculpture follows the development of Pallava cave temples in Tamil Nadu from their austere beginnings to a more and more developed stage, until it culminate in the rich and intricate rock architecture and sculpture of Mamallapuram, near Chennai.

A collection of six lectures delivered by Dr. Mangesh Nadkarni on Sri Aurobindo's perspectives on various issues, and still relevant to many of the crucial problems facing India today.

Ancient Indian civilisation is not something over and done with, relegated to the past -- it continues to live, sustaining its spirit, waiting to be rediscovered and given newer forms. This book tries to establish a link between every subject and the method by which the ancients approached them - individual and yet, part of a whole. Practically all areas of human interest -- architecture, sculpture, painting, handicrafts, dance, theatre, music, education, literature, politics, war, science, agriculture, medicine, religion -- have been studied and presented.

Historical and yet not burdened with facts and figures, the book is lyrical in style and profusely illustrated, lending a deep perspective to the ancient world and looking for lessons to make a glorious future.

This is a rare work which gives in great details the forms and accurate measurements of a large variety of Indian sculpture, along with the spiritual vision and philosophy underlying it. A special feature of the book is the large number of illustrations and drawings done with great authenticity, care and beauty.
