In the realm of spiritual luminaries, there exists a rare soul whose divine radiance transcends the mundane and touches the very core of our existence. Srila Bhakti Ballabh Tirtha Goswami Maharaj Ji, the past president of Sri Chaitanya Gaudiya Math, was such an ethereal being, a beacon of transcendental light whose impact extended far beyond the boundaries of the material world. To merely witness the presence of Srila Bhakti Ballabh Tirtha Goswami Maharaj Ji was to be bathed in the brilliance of an inner aura that seemed to emanate from a source beyond the sun itself. His countenance, adorned with peace and serenity, was a testament to the depth of his spiritual realization. In the gaze of his eyes, one could discern a tranquil depth that spoke volumes about the profound connection he maintained with the divine. As a guru, Srila Bhakti Ballabh Tirtha Goswami Maharaj Ji effortlessly radiated purity. His disciples, scattered across the globe, were bound by an indescribable love and affection for their spiritual master. It was a love that transcended the physical realm, forging a connection that resonated in the chambers of the heart and the expanses of the soul. In the mere presence of Srila Bhakti Ballabh Tirtha Goswami Maharaj Ji, one couldn't help but feel transported to the transcendental realm of Golok Vrindavan—a space where time dissolves into eternity, and the soul dances in the divine ecstasy of unconditional love. Through the pages of this book, I humbly attempt to capture a mere fraction, a mere 1%, of the ineffable essence that was Srila Bhakti Ballabh Tirtha Goswami Maharaj Ji. His devotion to Radha Krishna Chaitanya Mahaprabhu was not just an expression of religious fervour; it was a living, breathing testament to the embodiment of pure love. The narrative within these pages seeks to unveil the layers of his devotion, exploring the depths of his bhakti and the unwavering dedication he held for his Gurudev. It is a journey through the spiritual landscape that Srila Bhakti Ballabh Tirtha Goswami Maharaj Ji traversed, leaving an indelible mark on the hearts of those fortunate enough to be touched by his presence. May this humble endeavour serve as a token of gratitude and remembrance for a spiritual luminary whose light continues to guide us even in his physical absence. In the pages that follow, may the essence of Srila Bhakti Ballabh Tirtha Goswami Maharaj Ji's divine journey be felt, and may it inspire us to embark on our own quest for spiritual realization.

The 1903 Mrdang aur Tabla Vadanpaddhati is a revelatory text that has never been translated or analysed. It is a manual for playing the two most important drums of North Indian (Hindustani) music, the pakhavaj (mrdang) and the tabla. Owing to its relative obscurity, it is a source that has never been discussed in the literature on Hindustani music. Its author, Gurudev Patwardhan, was Vice Principal of V.D. Paluskar's first music school in Lahore from its inception in 1901 to 1908. Professor James Kippen provides the first translation of this immensely important text and examines its startling implications for rhythmic and metric theory. It is the earliest work on Indian drumming to contain a notation sufficiently precise to allow definitive reconstruction. The compositions are of considerable musical interest, for they can be readily realized on the tabla or pakhavaj. Kippen sets the work and objectives of the original author in the context of a rich historical, social and political background. By also discussing radical differences in the second edition of 1938, published by Gurudev's nephew, the vocalist Vinayakrao Patwardhan, Kippen illuminates the process by which 'tabla theory' was being created in the early 20th century. Both Patwardhans were enthusiastic supporters of Paluskar's nationalist imperatives, and active participants in his drive to institutionalize music, codify and publish notations of it, and promote a modern, Hindu vision of India wherein its identity could once again be linked to a glorious golden age in distant antiquity.

Weekly Knowledge Sheets given by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, a practice which began from the year 1995 and now, have been compiled into Seven Volume Series of books. This book (Volume I) is a collection of weekly talks, conversations and messages that Sri Sri Ravi Shankar gave between June 21 1995 to June 13 1996. An Intimate Note to the Sincere Seeker is a compilation of excerpts of talks by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar in the year 1995 - 1996. While these talks often discuss the state of the world at the time they were written, because they discuss human life on the most basic levels - love, hatred, trust, peace, silence, happiness, they are still valuable today. They give us an insight into this knowledge that is so deeply profound, yet so simple, knowledge that does not just remain in the intellect, but is beautifully and effortlessly integrated into daily life. Sri Sri avoids lengthy discussions about the deeper philosophy of life, yet his talks reflect these values to their very core. This book is specially compiled to help readers going through an emotional phase or who need a guidance in life. The reader can go through any one random page (365 chapters for 365 days) for help or can follow as per ones discretion
