SANATAN: Then, Now, Forever' is a captivating story inspired by Hindu epics like the Mahabharata, Ramayana, Panchatantra, and Shiva Puranas. It follows the remarkable life of Eka, a simple hunter who is blessed, and cursed, with immortal- ity, living from 1300 B.C. to the present day. The story starts at the dawn of time, tracing key events like the churning of the ocean (Samudra Manthan) and the battles of Kurukshetra. It follows the rise of Buddhism, the revival of Hinduism under Adi Shankaracharya, the reign of Hindu kings, the invasions and conquests of Bharat, and the British Raj, culminating in the fight for Independence and extending into a futuristic Bharat in 2123. Throughout his endless journey, Eka meets other mythological characters, immortal beings (Chiranjeevis), and important historical figures, embodying the idea that 'You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.' The book dives into the challenges of eternal life, showing how even an immortal can be drawn into darkness over time. This epic tale encourages readers to think about what it means to live forever and how everything changes with time. Yet, through it all, Sanatan remains unchanged-then, now, and forever.

The divine player attempts to analyze the relationship between play and religion in the context of Hinduism. It focuses primarily on the youthful god Krsna. The first part part of the book surveys the role of play among the gods and concludes that play seems to be an intrinsic part of the divine in Hinduism. The second part of the book investigates the role of play in religious cult, again focusing on the various Krsna cults. This section concludes that, although playful themes pervade man`s religious activity in devotion to Krsna, cultiic activity may not be reduced to play, as some scholars have suggested. The final section of the book points to examples of divine and cultic play in non-Hindu traditions.

The path to spiritual understanding can be a confusing one. The manic pace of the present age has loosened the threads that tied our ancestors to prayer and faith. But role models could still help us find our way back. In Icons of Grace, respected ISKCON monk Nityanand Charan Das introduces readers to the lives of twenty-one extraordinary people who served as spiritual guides, through their teachings and through personal example. At one level, the lives of these great souls-from Mirabai and Ramanujacharya to Sant Tukaram and Adi Shankaracharya-are a practical demonstration of the most essential spiritual principles. In relating them, though, Nityanand Charan Das aims not just to record the richness of their cultural and spiritual legacies but also to convey to readers the lessons one can learn through one's daily actions and choices. Icons of Grace is inspiring. It also offers hope: however imperfect our journey has been thus far, spiritual redemption is accessible to us all.

Sanatan is the gut-wrenching story of Bhimnak Mahar and his ilk, who have been subjected to barbaric abuse and inhuman discrimination by the upper castes over centuries. The story begins with the young Bhimnak in pre-Independence India. It then traverses time and geographical boundaries to end with Bhimnak’s grandson. The circular narrative pattern is reflective of the endless cycle of pain that the Mahars are unable to break free from, no matter how hard they try, no matter where they go, no matter if they change their identity and religion. Using myths, the Puranas and historical texts as resources, Sharankumar Limbale rewrites Dalit history in this novel as he attempts to tell the truth, with an intention to build what he calls ‘a new and progressive social order’. Limbale not just brings his reader face to face with uncomfortable realities, he also suggests what could be an alternative social order in the future.
