In Indian languages from Sanskrit to Marathi, yoga has an enormous range of meanings, though most often it refers to philosophy or methods to control the mind and body. This book argues for a wider understanding, demonstrating that yoga has long expressed political thought and practice. The political idea of yoga names the tools of kings, poets, warriors, and revolutionaries. It encodes stratagems for going into battle and for the demands of governance. This idea suggests routes to self-rule even when faced with implacable obstacles, and it defines righteous action amid the grime and grief of politics and war.
Sunila S. Kalé and Christian Lee Novetzke chart a new genealogy of yoga, beginning with uses of the term in the Ṛg Veda, the Mahābhārata, the Bhagavad Gītā, and the Arthaśāstra. In the world of these texts, yoga names everything from war and battle strategy to good governance, espionage, taxation, and welfare. Kalé and Novetzke follow this trail into the modern period, examining the writings and speeches of thinkers such as Gandhi, Tilak, Aurobindo, and Ambedkar as well as the extraordinary story of the Princely State of Aundh, whose ruler saw the Surya Namaskar (Sun Salutation) as a tool for sovereignty. Offering a novel interpretation of yoga that embraces its long-standing political conceptualization, this book sheds light on South Asian political thought and history from its earliest texts to the present day.

In an age where technologies such as AI threaten to supplant human intelligence, an award-winning scientist offers a radical new view of our innate human technology and what we’re truly capable of.
There are rare moments in time when we make choices that irreversibly change the world, and our lives, forever. Today is one of those moments.
Scientists, engineers and philosophers alike warn us that without a radical shift in our thinking, we are on track to be the last generation of pure humans that the world will know. Within a single generation we will devolve into a hybrid species of synthetic bodies, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and computer chips that limit our ability to think, to love, and to adapt to the conditions of the emerging world in a healthy way. In doing so we will also lose our capacity for emotion, empathy, intimacy, and forgiveness—the very qualities that we value and cherish in our humanness.
The question that we face is simple: Do we love ourselves enough to preserve the gift of our humanness? Our answer is based upon the way we’ve been taught to think of ourselves.
This book is a compelling journey of self-discovery that will catapult you beyond conventional thinking when it comes to your origins, your limits and, most importantly, the abilities that have been hidden from you for centuries, and the extraordinary potential that awaits as you embrace them.
This book is a straightforward look at the author’s life experiences, written in an easy-to-read style. It’s not here to belittle your beliefs or life journey—if it does, well, apologies! The author, an obsessive thinker, is just thinking out loud. Every journey is unique, after all.
Not All Who Wander Are Overthinking may not offer answers, but the author hopes you will find moments where his experiences resonate. Some stories are funny, others provocative, and some downright opinionated. If something makes you think, ‘I have known this, but never saw it that way,’ then the author has hit the mark.
This isn’t a deep dive into any subject, and many essays end with a question. It’s not about providing answers—it’s about lighting a spark in you, pushing you to start your journey towards self-knowledge, which, for the author, is the foundation of everything—personal, worldly, and spiritual.
‘Your journey to understanding and ending karma begins here.’
Karma, a subject that has intrigued, mystified, and often instilled fear, continues to shape our lives in profound ways. Its complexities often leave us searching for answers and solutions to its seemingly unbreakable grip. But what if there is a way to break free from this cycle?
After her widely acclaimed books Living Spirituality and Why We Are Who We Are, Meetu Bisht once again reimagines an ancient concept for today’s seekers and offers a refreshing and actionable approach to understanding and tackling karma at its roots. With practical insights into relationship karma, money karma, health karma, and more, the author redefines the workings of karma in the context of modern spiritual needs, providing a growth-oriented and nuanced perspective on the math of cause and effect.
All in all, To the Beginning of the End of Karma serves as a guide to reclaiming control and transforming karmic burdens into opportunities for consciousness ascension and liberation.
USPs:

3.Empowering Perspective: Redefining age-old concepts, the book puts the power back in the hands of readers, enabling them to break free from the cycles of cause and effect and take charge of their lives.
4.Blend of Tradition and Modernity: Drawing from the Bhagavad Gita and other timeless spiritual insights, the book integrates ancient wisdom with fresh, new-age interpretations tailored for today’s seekers.
