Book Description
His Holiness Shivkrupanand Swami, the proponent of ‘Samarpan Dhyan Sanskar’ has been conducting the 45 days Deep Meditation Practicum for the past 14 years at Samarpan Ashram, Dandi. During this period, His Holiness Swamiji is in a highly exalted state of meditation and keeps sending written messages for the spiritual upliftment of people from all sections of society. His Holiness Swamiji has declared the year 2020 as ‘Children’s Year’. His Holiness Swamiji has specifically written for and addressed children through the medium of these messages during this Practicum and is inspiring them to connect with Samarpan Dhyan Sanskar (Samarpan meditation values) to help them lead a healthy, safe and value-based life in today’s competitive and stressful environment. This booklet is a compilation of those same messages. Children can absorb the Samarpan meditation values through regular meditative practice; they can activate their inner energies and develop a positive and strong protective shield, and protect themselves from the dreadful disease of depression which is going to spread very fast in the near future. They can lead a positive, balanced, successful, innocent and contented life. They canobtain the Karma-free state in this life itself, and then they will be able to attain the state of Moksha (liberation). This process will surely prove to be a milestone on the journey towards the creation of a New Era. We believe that not only children but adults too will benefit through the medium of these messages.

Book Description
The Wrestler's Body tells the story of a way of life organized in terms of physical self-development. While Indian wrestlers are competitive athletes, they are also moral reformers whose conception of self and society is fundamentally somatic. Using the insights of anthropology, Joseph Alter writes an ethnography of the wrestler's physique that elucidates the somatic structure of the wrestler's identity and ideology. Young men in North India may choose to join an akhara, or gymnasium, where they subject themselves to a complex program of physical and moral fitness. Alter's first-hand description of each detail of the wrestler's regimen offers a unique perspective on South Asian culture and society. Wrestlers feel that moral reform of Indian national character is essential and advocate their way of life as an ideology of national health. Everyone is called on to become a wrestler and build collective strength through self-discipline.

Book Description
In an interconnected world, literature moves through transnational networks, crosses borders, and bridges diverse cultures. In these ways, literature can bring people closer together. Today, as hopes for globalization wane and exclusionary nationalism is on the march, can literature still offer new ways of relating with others? Comparative literature has long been under the spell of circulation, contact, connectivity, and mobility—what if it instead sought out their antitheses? States of Disconnect examines the breakdown of transnationalism through readings of literary texts that express aversion to pairing ideas of China and India. Focusing on practices of comparison, Adhira Mangalagiri considers how these texts articulate the undesirability or impossibility of relating with national others, tracing portrayals of violence, silence, and distance. She proposes the concept of “disconnect”: a crisis of transnationalism perceptible in moments when a connection is severed, interrupted, or disavowed. Despite their apparent insularity, texts of disconnect offer possibilities for relating ethically across national borders while resisting both narrow nationalisms and globalized habits of thought. Reading a variety of largely untranslated twentieth-century Chinese and Hindi short stories, novels, and poems, Mangalagiri develops three new strategies for comparison—friction, ellipses, and contingency—that together comprise a critical vocabulary of disconnect. Foregrounding transnationalism’s discontents, States of Disconnect offers a different path by which literary texts can cultivate a critical sensibility for making sense of a world rife with division.
