Book Description
What if the legend of Kalki, the tenth avatar of Vishnu, is an elaborate hoax created by Lord Krishna? In the year 2025, twenty-year-old Anirudh starts dreaming of Krishna. But these visions that keep flashing through his mind are far from an ordinary fantasy-they are vivid episodes from the god's life. Through these scenes, as Krishna's mystifying schemes are revealed, Anirudh slowly comes to terms with his real identity . . . He is the last avatar of Vishnu, sent to restore the balance between good and evil. But an ancient and powerful nemesis, burning with the fire of revenge, has already started assembling a clan of mighty sorcerers to finally be rid of the protector god and unleash depravity on earth. Will Anirudh realize his potential before it's too late? Or will the enemy destroy everything in their wake before the avatar finally manifests?

Book Description
In 2006, frustrated with religious turmoil, fanaticism, and fundamentalism, filmmaker Peter Rodger set out on a quest across 23 countries to shoot the epic nonfiction motion picture Oh My God in an attempt to understand what the concept of God meant to people in all walks of life. This book chronicles Peter’s extraordinary adventure as he circled the globe, asking an amazing array of characters the simple (but not-so-simple) question: "What is God?" This is a story of overcoming challenges, as well as a unique travelogue and social snapshot. It delves into the pain of persevering in times of trouble and is also a testament to adhering to one’s own convictions. Philosophical, searching, funny, and very personal, this work will make you laugh out loud, and at other times make you cry. It is devoid of theology, but touches faith on both religious and nonreligious levels. It is objective, yet there are many opinions. Above all, it is a chance to be whisked away from the comfort of your own home to visit places and people, famous and not; and absorb their profound, irreverent, blasphemous, spiritual musings . . . on an age-old query. Their words will stir up passion, curiosity, self-examination, and wild imagination. Oh My God! Prepare for the ride.

Book Description
Ven Begamudré's latest work of fiction combines Hindu mythology with the story of a family. Through the veil of Vishnu's unions with Lakshmi and his incarnation in the tale of Manu and the fish, the novel portrays a pair of siblings as they navigate 1960s North American culture under the weight of their emotionally abusive father and ambitious mother. By day Subhas and Durga master the logistics of junior highschool in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, while at night they watch the disintegration of their parents' marriage. Following the breakup, and in the wake of an unfortunate misunderstanding between the two siblings, Durga moves to Canada with their mother, while Subhas remains in the United States with their father. Now in her late teens and training as part of the Seaforth Highlanders reserve regiment in Vancouver, Durga struggles to find her way in a place she loves, while back in Pennsylvania, Subhas works a part-time job at a gas station during the oil crisis. "About 1983 I made fictional sketches about a young woman named Jo who joined the army reserve as a clerk. Her best friends at a Vancouver high school included Meg, a vain debutante; Beth, a shy pianist with a terminal illness; and Amy, a hot-headed cowgirl from the interior of BC. They were sisters in spirit alone and none had the last name of March. Soon I forgot about these characters-much to the relief, no doubt, of Louisa May Alcott, whose novel Little Women had enchanted me during a visit to my home state in South India. Then, in the early 1990s, Carol Shields' short story 'Soup du Jour' inspired me to write and publish a long story called "Indian Cookery," which brought to life an army major named Durga Kumar Mackenzie. To avoid worrying about her upcoming tour of duty with UNPROFOR in the former Yugoslavia, Durga thinks about an affair that her married sister is having with an unmarried doctor. Finally, one day in the late 1990s, Durga tapped me on the shoulder and said, 'Ven, I never had a sister. I had a brother. Here's what happened in our teens, when we moved from Canada to the States during the Vietnam War. Are you listening or what?'" This book is a smyth-sewn paperback. The text is typeset in Rialto and printed offset on laid-finish paper making (estimated) 160 pages trimmed to 4.5 × 7 inches, bound into a paper cover and enfolded in an offset-printed jacket.

Book Description
PARASURAM The Sixth Avatar of Vishnu A humble Brahmin boy transforms into a fierce warrior to protect the weak and punish the wicked—Parasuram’s life is the ultimate story of a revolutionary. The Warrior Sage chronicles the legendary journey of Parasuram through the various yugas. Believed to be an immortal and one of the greatest warriors in the Hindu mythology, Parasuram is present in both the Ramayana and the Mahabharata, thus marking his presence in the Treta as well as in the Dwapara Yuga. Parasuram is the embodiment of duty and justice. His actions—going on a kshatriya killing spree to avenge his father’s death; punishing the sea god Varuna for encroaching on the holy land Gokarna; challenging Lord Ram to a duel for breaking Lord Shiva’s bow; waging a war with Bhishma for the injustice done to Amba …—all point to his firm belief in truth and righteousness. Parasuram’s story shows you that you don’t have to be stuck in a mould others expect you to be in; you are free to choose your path, your truth. Read on to discover the many heroic feats of Parasuram and be inspired to take charge of your life. V. S. Rao is a celebrated Telugu author, playwright, translator and scriptwriter. He has 90 titles to his credit, including short stories, novels, children’s books and plays. His writing spans a variety of genres, from thrillers, drama, mythology, philosophy to lyrics for devotional albums. He is the recipient of numerous literary honors and awards.

Book Description
As it enters its sixtieth year of independence, India stands on the threshold of superpower status. Yet India is strikingly different from all other global colossi. While it is the world's most populous democracy and enjoys the benefits of its internationally competitive high-tech and software industries, India also contends with extremes of poverty, inequality, and political and religious violence. This accessible and vividly written book presents a new interpretation of India's history, focusing particular attention on the impact of British imperialism on Independent India. Maria Misra begins with the rebellion against the British in 1857 and tracks the country's advance to the present day. India's extremes persist, the author argues, because its politics rest upon a peculiar foundation in which traditional ideas of hierarchy, difference, and privilege coexist to a remarkable degree with modern notions of equality and democracy. The challenge of India's leaders today, as in the last sixty years, is to weave together the disparate threads of the nation's ancient culture, colonial legacy, and modern experience.
