Book Description
Om, the handsome son of the head-priest of an almost unreachable hilltop Shiva temple, has been yearning to see the world below. The brief visit of the beautiful mountaineer, Anjali, sets his heart on fire, acting as a catalyst to his journey. One night, he runs away from the temple to catch up with Anjali in her city, but not before asking Shiva to forgive him. And Shiva smiles! Oms journey is eventful as he interacts with various performances on the world stage, experiencing every facet of human emotion. Om meets Anjali and the narrative unfolds into a melodramatic love triangle, where Girish, the over possessive lover is determined to keep them apart in every which way. Does Om find his true love in Anjali? Or, does the glamorous city life lure Om away from her, and even Shiva? Or, does all this bring him closer to his inner self? Shiva and Parvati make a few one-page appearances in the book, watching with interest the wanderings of their devotee. And smiling!

WHAT IF YOU could live in peace every moment of your life? What if you could manifest the best reality in your life every day? What if you could feel contained and live in a state of ecstasy every second? What if stories answer the spiritual queries you have been living with all these years?

The secret lies in a wonderful journey to the Universal Source of Creation. The journey answers your questions and clarifies your doubts. We know mythological stories related to Lord Shiva and his life. We classify them as stories and do not relate them to our life. This book associates the stories with our life and allows us to learn and apply the teachings to our day-to-day life. Through this knowledge and wisdom, we are self-awakened and our consciousness is uplifted. The journey begins with the TRUST, that the knowledge and awareness of these truths will lift and shift the reality of our life. Trust that the journey is easy and enjoyable. Trust that happiness, joy, bliss, and containment is yours and you can achieve it through wisdom.

Book Description
Stone figures hardened by ascetic discipline and heroic effort face north in deep shadow. There they meet the gazes of the same gods and goddesses but with gentler bodies enacting grace, warmth, seduction, and marriage, drenched in sunlight, facing south. These figures adorn the eighth-century Kailasanatha temple complex in southeastern India, built by rulers who were both warriors and ascetics, engaged in the work of this world and in spiritual quests. They designed their temple as an exuberant visual feast to sustain both modes of being. In Opening Kailasanatha, Padma Kaimal deciphers the intentions of the monument’s makers, reaching back across centuries to illuminate worldviews of the ancient Indic south. She reveals how circling the complex in a clockwise direction focuses the mind and spirit on worldly engagement; in a counterclockwise direction, on renunciation and ascetic practice. This pairing of highly charged, complementary pathways enabled devotees to grasp these counterpoised opportunities in their own listening, gazing, moving bodies. By focusing on the material form of the complex—the architecture, inscriptions, and sculptures, along with the spaces they carve out that guide light, shadow, sound, and footsteps—Kaimal offers insights that complement what surviving texts tell us about Shaiva Siddhanta ideas and practices, providing a rare opportunity to walk in the distant past.

Book Description
Shri Ramlila (The playful acts of Shri Ram) is a sequence of 24 one-act plays that depict his glory from birth to crowning. Readers can perform them as a complete epic, enact only one act, or use some dialogues as a short mono act. The book covers most stories of Shri Ramcharitmanas (written by Goswami Tulsidas Ji) and Valmiki Ramayan. Information from other holy books is also included. The details mentioned in the epics can overwhelm first-time readers. To help them, these are shown in summaries, lists, and pictographs. Hindi couplets (with meaning) and prayers translated into English aim to enrich the reading experience. Teachings and morals are in place to drive the religious and ethical messages. A list of characters, their personifications, backdrops, and props, will aid those who want to enact the plays. Scenes and dialogues have been written to cover the story in minimum acts. In short, the plays do cover most information written in the epic. Let's hope it inspires all to read the original masterpieces. Shri Ram, Jai Ram, Jai Jai Ram!

Book Description
This novel intertwines religions, spirituality, and philosophy. Dear reader, regardless of your belief, religion, culture, or even if you are secular, I promise you that you will be astonished by this novel, and your life will change after reading it. I promise that its details will remain etched in your memory for life. I also promise that the name Lilith will be forever engraved in your mind. Dear reader, Welcome to the pages of this novel, which represents a deep personal and intellectual journey for me. It is among the latest and finest work I have ever written. As you delve into the strange and mysterious realms of this story, I would like to share a secret that may seem unfamiliar but is profoundly meaningful to me. This novel was the result of mysterious flows of inspiration; it was not merely a product of my conscious mind, but rather ideas flowed into my mind as if sent from a supernatural world, from a hidden place whose source I do not know. During the writing process, I felt as though I was merely a conduit for visions and concepts that transcended the limits of my knowledge and understanding of the world. This hidden inspiration led me to construct parallel worlds where lost souls meet and nightmares become tangible realities. The worlds you will read about here may be more than mere fiction; they are a reflection of a truth that might exist within the folds of the universe, beyond the scope of our ordinary vision. I invite you to open your heart and mind as you read, to experience this spiritual and intellectual journey with me, and to allow yourself to question the source of creativity and whether there are hidden forces guiding us toward discovering deeper truths about our existence. Perhaps, within these pages, you too may find a glimmer of inspiration that transcends the boundaries of this world. I wish you an enjoyable journey filled with reflection and inquiry. With warm regards, Poet and Novelist: Khalil Altahhan
