Soft cover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. The October Revolution undoubtedly produced a radicalising effect on the Indian situation from the very beginning. Why was this so? At the end of World War I, India was astir with workers' strikes and massive demonstrations against British repression. Peasant unrest was also growing. It was this awakened India, entering the mass phase of its fight for independence, which looked to the Russian Revolution and to its leader Lenin for inspiration and help. They further saw that Lenin and other leaders of Soviet Russia stood for a new social order in which exploitation of man by man is ended, an order based on brotherhood, equality and cooperation of men, and had established a society in which the working class and the toiling people had come into their own and taken over the reins of administration to build socialism."

Hardcover. Condition: New. Sufism is in tune with Secularism. The founders of Sufis came from a mixed urban population and their ideals of tolerance were born out of their experience in interacting with people of other faiths. Sufism is an adoptive and universal creed. Sufis were far ahead of their time and accepted any faith into their fold. Sufis advocated tolerance and encouraged interfaith harmony. Sufi mystics lived in multicultural societies and many of their followers were Sikhs, Hindus, or Muslims. Bulleh Shah breaks down the division between Hinduism and Islam to claim that all holy men belonged to the human order and should thus be embraced by all humans equally. Some of the Sufi writings have been liberally included in the holy book for Sikhs. One of the most interesting observations about Sufis is that they encouraged their disciples to separate politics and spirituality. Sufism decrees "that Mosque and State must be separated, but not in order to preserve the State, but in order to preserve religion or spirituality itself" (Sofia, ASufi Metamorphosis).

Hardcover. Condition: New. The Periya Puranam is a part of the large corpus of Shaiva canonical works. It was compiled by Sekkizhar, who was both poet and the Chief Minister in the court of the Chola King, Kulothunga II or AnabhayaCholan. The king himself was a staunch devotee of Lord Nataraja at Chidambaram. As minister Sekkizhar had complete access to information on the lives of the Shaivite saints or Nayanmars. Sekkizhar used the data and put together the Periya Puranam. The epic was written in the Thousand Pillared Hall of the Chidambaram temple. Sekkizhar proved to be the best choice, as he was noted for his literary expressions and neutrality while interpreting sayings. His devotion to Lord Shiva and the 63 Nayanmars, was unparalleled and unquestionable. This book is a prose version of the lives of the 63 saints. It is a wonderful source for Tamilians and non-Tamilians alike seeking to know more about Shaivite saints and the meaning of devotion.

Though many paintings have been preserved over the millennia, only a relatively small percentage can be construed as timeless classics. These works are familiar to the public, and coincidentally, they were produced by some of the most famous artists of all time. It leads us to wonder about the mix of talent, genius and circumstance that is required for the creation of such masterpieces. Painting is the application of pigments to a support surface that establishes an image, design, or decoration. In art, the term 'painting' describes both the act and the result. Most painting is created with pigment in liquid form, applied with a brush. Three of the most recognizable images in Western art history are paintings: Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa, Edvard Munch's The Scream, and Vincent van Gogh's The Starry Night. These three art works are examples of how painting can go beyond a simple mimetic function, that is, to only imitate what is seen. The power of a great painting is that it transcends perceptions to reflect emotional, psychological, and even spiritual levels of the human condition. Painting mediums are extremely versatile because they can be applied to many different surfaces (called supports), including paper, wood, canvas, plaster, clay, lacquer, concrete and more.
