The Battle for Consciousness Theory (PB)
The Battle for Consciousness Theory: A Response to Ken Wilber’s Appropriation of Sri Aurobindo’s Work and Other Indian Thought is a compelling and meticulous account of the digestion and subversion of the work of one of India’s greatest sages Sri Aurobindo. The book uncovers the systematic co-opting of Sri Aurobindo’s seminal ideas by the American theorist Ken Wilber and their reformulation into his own ‘Integral Theory’. Based on extensive research spanning a quarter century, the book provides deep insights into the developments that shaped (and distorted) the Aurobindonian discourse in recent decades. It discusses the ramifications of the enhancement of Western Universalism at the expense of Vedic and other Indian traditions while analyzing certain limitations in Wilber’s work.

Hindutva (PB)
‘हिंदुत्व’ एक ऐसा शब्द है, जो संपूर्ण मानवजाति के लिए आज भी अपूर्व स्फूर्ति तथा चैतन्य का स्रोत बना हुआ है। इस शब्द से संबद्ध विचार, महान् ध्येय, रीति-रिवाज तथा भावनाएँ कितनी विविध तथा श्रेष्ठ हैं। ‘हिंदुत्व’ कोई सामान्य शब्द नहीं है। यह एक परंपरा है। एक इतिहास है। यह इतिहास केवल धार्मिक अथवा आध्यात्मिक इतिहास नहीं है। अनेक बार ‘हिंदुत्व’ शब्द को उसी के समान किसी अन्य शब्द के समतुल्य मानकर बड़ी भूल की जाती है। वैसे यह इतिहास मात्र नहीं है, वरन् एक सर्वसंग्रही इतिहास है। ‘हिंदू धर्म’, यह शब्द ‘हिंदुत्व’ से ही उपजा उसी का एक रूप है, उसी का एक अंश है।
‘हिंदुत्व’ शब्द में एक राष्ट्र, हिंदूजाति के अस्तित्व तथा पराक्रम के सम्मिलित होने का बोध होता है। इसीलिए ‘हिंदुत्व’ शब्द का निश्चित आशय ज्ञात करने के लिए पहले हम लोगों को यह समझना आवश्यक है कि ‘हिंदू’ किसे कहते हैं। इस शब्द ने लाखों लोगों के मानस को किस प्रकार प्रभावित किया है तथा समाज के उत्तमोत्तम पुरुषों ने, शूर तथा साहसी वीरों ने इसी नाम के लिए अपनी भक्तिपूर्ण निष्ठा क्यों अर्पित की, इसका रहस्य ज्ञात करना भी आवश्यक है।
प्रखर राष्ट्रचिंतक एवं ध्येयनिष्ठ क्रांतिधर्मा वीर सावरकर की लेखनी से निःसृत ‘हिंदुत्व’ को संपूर्णता में परिभाषित करती अत्यंत चिंतनपरक एवं पठनीय पुस्तक।SKU: n/a -

Six Glorious Epochs Of Indian History(PB)
Six Glorious Epochs of Indian History is a learning experience which covers the period of Muslim invasions in India and brave retaliation by the natives. No less was the struggle of Indian manes against British rule and for freedom and liberation of the mother country. The author’s tribute to the martyrs and his letters to dear ones from Andamans, miscellaneous statements and writings are also included in this book. The first four epochs are covered in only hundred plus pages while the last two epochs span almost four hundred plus pages, signifying the importance that the author gave to this period.
So far we have been given the picture of British rule, the history and politics in India by foreign and leftist writers, but in this book Veer Savarkar makes us look at the country’s history and politics from the Bharatiya perspective. Not only does he analyse the mistakes committed by Hindus since the time of Alexander’s invasion till the British rule, he tries to enlighten our minds with the prevalent situation in his time. All that he himself learnt from history, he tries to correct through this book of his.SKU: n/a -
