Book Description
An interdisciplinary dialogue with Shūsaku Endō’s last novel offering new perspectives on Japanese culture, Christian doctrine, Hindu spiritualities, and Buddhist worldviews. In Navigating Deep River, Mark W. Dennis and Darren J. N. Middleton have curated a wide-ranging discussion of Shūsaku Endō’s final novel, Deep River, in which four careworn Japanese tourists journey to India’s holy Ganges in search of spiritual as well as existential renewal. Navigating Deep River evaluates and probes Endō’s decades-long search to find the words to explain Transcendent Mystery, the difficult tension between faith and doubt, the purpose of spiritual journeys, and the challenges posed by the reality of religious pluralism in an increasingly diverse world. The contributors, including Van C. Gessel who translated Deep River into English in 1994, offer an engaged and patient exploration of this major text in world fiction, and this anthology promises to deepen academic appreciation for Endō, within and beyond the West. “This volume contextualizes, delineates, and articulates the complex religious/theological/spiritual dimensions of Deep River and its rich intertextual, interpersonal, psychosocial, and literary aspects. There are few edited volumes in which so many experts focus on a single Japanese text in this sustained manner, and this stands as a model of how to do so deftly and productively.” — David C. Stahl, author of Social Trauma, Narrative Memory and Recovery in Japanese Literature and Film

Book Description
Shiva is the Truth. Siva is God. Shiva is the Trinity – Creator-Sustainer-Destroyer. Shiva is the consort of Parvati. Shiva is the Guru. In this beautiful hymn, Vedasara Shiva Stotram, Shri Shankaracharya sings Shiva’s glories as the very essence of the scriptures, the formless Truth, and as God in His various forms like the Trinity, consort of Parvati and Guru. Swami Tejomayananda’s beautiful commentary fills our minds with auspiciousness (Shiva) as we read, remember, chant, study, reflect, worship and meditate on Shiva.

Book Description
The hymns to the Devi in this volume (introduced by a stotra to Her Spouse, the Kalabhairava) are taken from the Tantra, Purana, Mahabharata, and Sankaracarya, who was "the incarnation of devotion" (bhaktavatara) as well as a great philosopher; a fact which is sometimes ignored by those who do not wish to be reminded that he, whose speculative genius they extol, was also the protagonist of the so-called "idolatrous Hinduism." As his great example among many others of differing race and creed tell us, it is not, from the view of religion, the mark of discernment (even though it be the mode) to neglect or disparage the ritual practice which all orthodoxies have prescribed for their adherents. Of the Hymns now published, those from the Mahabharata and Candi have already been translated; Adyakalisvarupastotra has also been previously published as part of a rendering of the Mahanirvana Tantra. It is necessary to study the Hindu commentators and to seek the oral aid of those who possess the traditional interpretation of the Sastra. Without this and an understanding of what Hindu worship is and means, absurd mistakes are likely to be made. The author has therefore availed himself of the Commentaries of Nilakantha on the Mahabharata, of Gopala Chakravarti and Nagogi Bhatta on Candi, and of Nilakantha on the Devibhagavata.

Book Description
The Guru can grant us everything - from the most mundane to the highest. His glories are infinite and his position, especially for a spiritual seeker, is supreme. Then what to speak of the glory of his padukas that serve him always, and which represent all that he stands for - Truth, God, knowledge, divinity and virtues. Shri Guru Paduka Stotram is a hymn that enumerates 25 glories of the padukas of the Guru. Swami Tejomayananda, with words soaked in devotion of his own Guru and the entire lineage of Gurus, expounds on these glories in a though-provoking and heart touching way. Reading, reflecting and revelling in this hymn will surely bring all that is promised.

Book Description
The bee (Ṣaṭpadī) serenades the flower with its humming and the rhythmic beat of its wings and then in silence enjoys the nectar. Shatpadi, is a literary and devotional masterpiece of Śrī Ᾱdi Śaṅkarācārya, singing and chanting which our minds get absorbed in its nectar-like meaning. The bee gently unfolds the petals of the flowers and dives deep to revel in the flavor of the nectar. Swami Tejomayananda’s beautiful commentary unfolds the wonderful felling (bhāva) of this prayer and inspires us too, to surrender at the lotus-feet of the compassionate Lord of the universe and the Self of all – Viṣṇu.

Book Description
God is the most talked about entity in the world. Who is God? Is He the imagination of the fertile human mind? Does He exist or not? Is He existence or a void? Can He be known or is He always unknowable? Such and more questions are answered as a praise of God – a Hymn to Him (Isha Stuti). This wonderful composition and commentary by Swami Tejomayananda leaves us with a sweet feeling of devotion for God and makes us wonder why we ever questioned His existence.
