The Wanderer Who Owns the World is a layered exploration of the stages and mysteries of human life for those who want to live with more clarity, and to think and speak with purpose.
If you have ever quietly asked yourself, ‘Is there more to this life?’ this book offers a gentle yet profound response. Drawing from ancient Indian philosophy, lived insight, and elemental experience, Sri Yogi unveils what it truly means to live deeply, to feel fully, to seek sincerely—and ultimately, to remember who you are.
This is not a book about ownership in the conventional sense. It speaks instead of the paradoxical freedom that comes through letting go—the realization that one owns the world only when one ceases to cling to it.
Written for seekers of meaning, stillness, and truth, this book is for anyone who has sensed a quiet inner knowing but lacked the words to express it.
The Gita for Gen Z is your compass for when life feels chaotic. It helps you overcome challenges like heartbreak, overthinking, exam pressure or career anxiety, while filling your heart with happiness, enthusiasm, courage, and the mental strength needed to win life’s everyday battles.
Rooted in the timeless wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita, the book breaks long-held misconceptions and reveals the Gita not just as a religious text, but as a practical guide to fearless living.
Get ready to embark on an immersive reading experience as you discover the peace of mind you seek, and the divinity of the world reveals itself to you in fresh ways.
Jaya: An Illustrated Retelling Of The Mahabharata condenses the entire epic, originally known as Jaya, into a tiny capsule. Other than retelling the interesting parts of the Mahabharata, what makes this book a favourite among readers is Pattanaik’s rendering of the various local folklores and tales that are associated with the epic, which have been presented in a whole new genre. With a master stroke, the author has elaborated on the storyline by including lesser-known folklore stories of the epic, while keeping its original form and style intact.
The book has been divided into 108 chapters and has vivid illustrations along with 250 simple line drawings painted by Pattanaik himself. Besides infusing the different tales from local versions of the epic, the author has also added folk arts aspects picked up from ‘Yakshagana’ in Karnataka, ‘Terukuttu’ in Tamil Nadu and ‘Pandavani’ in Chhattisgarh to blend with the narrative.
Stories of Barbareek, Aravan, Astika, Madhavi and Jaimini form a special portion of this book. Other than this, Pattanaik has also introduced some intriguing ongoing traditions, like the worship of Draupadi in temples of Tamil Nadu.
Along with this, a whole section has been devoted to the Kurukshetra war, described on the basis of descriptive astronomical information. By infusing these interesting details along with the various local versions of the epic, the author has attempted to create a pan-Indian version of the epic that has, since time immemorial, helped shape the culture and history of the whole country.
Published by Penguin, this book may be a great choice for those intrigued to know about the religious and cultural intricacies of the country, as well as those who are reading the epic for the first time.
प्रश्न पूछना सीखने का एक महत्वपूर्ण हिस्सा है। यह सोच को एक विशिष्ट रूपरेखा देता है और अप्रत्याशित रहस्यों को खोलता है। चीज़ें जैसी हैं, वैसी कैसे-क्यों हैं, उन तथ्यों का पता लगाने से आत्मज्ञान मिलता है।
जबकि सन्देह को अपने तक रखना सच्चाई से दूर, और जीवन, जो मूल्यवान अवसर दे रही है उनसे वंचित कर सकता है। लेकिन किस प्रकार के प्रश्न हमें पूछने चाहिए?

The Shiva Purana is the fifth book in an eighteen-part series on the sacred Hindu texts known collectively as the Puranas. Translated with great rigor and precision, Bibek Debroy recounts the tales of creation and the many myths that surround Lord Shiva in twenty-four thousand shlokas and an introduction that simplifies the myth and history of the Puranas.
Brimming with insight and clarity, this translation presents readers with an opportunity to truly understand classical Indian texts. Previous translations by Bibek Debroy include the Bhagavata Purana, the Markandeya Purana, the Brahma Purana, and the Vishnu Purana.
A seamless blend of fable and philosophy, the Bhagavata Purana is perhaps the most revered text in the Vaishnava tradition. It brings to life the legends of gods, asuras, sages and kings-all the while articulating the crucial ethical and philosophical tenets that underpin Hindu spiritualism.
The narrative unfolds through a series of conversations and interconnected stories. We are told how the sage Vyasa was inspired by Narada to compose the Bhagavata Purana as a means to illumine the path to a spiritual life. We learn of the devotion of Prahlada, the austerity of Dhruva, and the blinding conceit of Daksha. Also recounted are tales of the many incarnations of Vishnu, especially Krishna, whom we see grow from a beloved and playful child to a fierce protector of the faithful.
The book offers a compelling exploration of J. Krishnamurti’s teachings and the wisdom of the Upanishads. Drawing from Sri M’s rich background in various religious philosophies including in Hinduism, Islam, Christianity, and Buddhism, it brings a rare breadth of perspective to questions of faith and spiritual inquiry. Sri M’s personal encounters with Krishnamurti and other religious thinkers add authenticity and immediacy to the narrative. The result is a thought-provoking examination of tradition and transcendence that invites readers to reflect critically on organized religion and the pursuit of truth.

इस पुस्तक में महात्मा बुद्ध और उसके धम्म को लेकर ओशो द्वारा दिए गए प्रवचनों का संकलन है।
द्रष्टा हो जाना बुद्ध हो जाना है। बुद्धत्व कुछ और नहीं माँगता, इतना ही कि तुम जागो, और उसे देखो जो सबको देखने वाला है। विषय पर मत अटके रहो। दृश्य पर मत अटके रहो। द्रष्टा में ठहर जाओ। अकंप हो जाए तुम्हारे द्रष्टा का भाव, साक्षी का भाव, बुद्धत्व उपलब्ध हो गया। और ऐसा बुद्धत्व सभी जन्म के साथ लेकर आए हैं। इसलिए मैं तुमसे कहता हूँ, बुद्धत्व जन्मसिद्ध अधिकार है। इस पुस्तक में महात्मा बुद्ध के सारे ज्ञान का सारांश दिया गया है।
ऊर्जा का क्षण-क्षण उपयोग : धर्म
जो बुद्ध के पास था, ठीक उतना ही लेकर तुम भी पैदा हुए हो। तुम्हारी वीणा में और बुद्ध की वीणा में रत्ती भर का फासला नहीं है। भला तुम्हारे तार ढीले हों, थोड़े कसने पड़ें। या तुम्हारे तार थोड़े ज्यादा कसे हों, थोड़े ढीले करने पड़ें। या तुम्हारे तार वीणा से अलग पड़े हों और उन्हें वीणा पर बिठाना पड़े। लेकिन तुम्हारे पास ठीक उतना ही सामान है, उतना ही साज है, जितना बुद्ध के पास। अगर बुद्ध के जीवन में संगीत पैदा हो सका, तुम्हारे जीवन में भी हो सकेगा।
