@IndicaBooks An astronomical theater with twelve zodiac pillars having a zodiac sign carved on them is the Navaraṅga of the Vidyāśaṅkara Temple at Sringeri, a town established by Shankaracharya

@IndicaBooks

@IndicaBooks The pillars are illuminated each month, causing observers to conjecture that the illumination patterns represent a calendar. Scientific studies at the temple have not been able to resolve the issue

#BookOverview Science and Socio-Religious Revolution in India By Pankaj Jain

The book presents a holistic model transcending the dichotomies of nature vs culture & science vs religion, as practiced in India

Link: amzn.to/3EJwWpn

@IndicaBooks

@IndicaBooks

@IndicaBooks Scholars have long noticed a discrepancy in the way non-Western & Western peoples conceptualize the scientific and religious worlds

Non-Western traditions & communities, such as India, are better positioned to provide an alternative to the Western dualistic thinking

@IndicaBooks

@IndicaBooks ...of separating science & religion

A new movement was founded, looking at the economic and development needs of rural villages in the Indian Himalayas, and encouraging them to use local resources in order to open up new avenues to self-reliance

#BookOverview Kasheer : A Diabolical Betrayal of Kashmiri Hindus by @SahanaVijay

This is Kashmir’s story. Originally written in Kannada, it is translated into English by @shanthigrama, who is a London-based technology professional

Link: amzn.to/3iJkcFn

@IndicaBooks

@SahanaVijay

@SahanaVijay @shanthigrama @IndicaBooks Thus comes the plainitive cry of Kailash Pandit

The reporting on Kashmir has whitewashed the human tragedy of Kashmiri Hindus

This book retells the tale in a fictionalized account which is all too real

@SahanaVijay

@SahanaVijay @shanthigrama @IndicaBooks It catches the facts of deception, betrayal, propaganda and political ambitions that have all but erased the memories of oppression of Kashmiri Hindus from the nation’s conscience

It extricates the truth of human tragedy and presents it with brutal honesty

This book is an attempt by ten writers to bring forth those forgotten warriors of the Mahabharata

Link: amzn.to/3MQgHe0

@IndicaBooks

@Sai_swaroopa

@Sai_swaroopa @IndicaBooks Reimagined with passion and devotion, each story brings you a new perspective of the epic as each warrior gears up for his big day on the battlefield

In this epic battle, they are all related by either blood or loyalty

@Sai_swaroopa

@Sai_swaroopa @IndicaBooks These stories capture the poignance, valour, unsung victories and eventual destinies of the warriors

This is a magnificent attempt to explore the epic in dimensions that have not been explored yet
