The present book throws new light on the gradual development of the concept of Rudra-Siva in his animal, phallic and human forms, since the days of the Harappa Civilization. It examines how Siva, the composite Aryan-non-Aryan Divinity, was not only admitted but was ultimately crowned with an exalted position in the Brahmanical pantheon; how the bull once identified with the deity, was regulated to the position of a vahana; how phallism was related to Saivism and also how Siva, in his different forms, was represented in early Indian Art and the Art of Further India. The wide range and depth of the author's research fills a vital gap in the subject and his treatment of the entire subject is unique. This methodical study on Siva also contains an exhaustive bibliography.

Through the travelogue 'The Call of Kailash Mansarovar, Mr. Hari Om breaks and adds a lot to the travel narrative genre. Mr. Arun Prakash has written in 'The Identity of Prose' that 'a traveller must not only have a map of the destination, but also, a healthy perspective. Dr. Hari Om possesses that healthy and concise approach, through which, he presents a pilgrimage in a captivating narrative. In this journey, Dr. Hari Om not only contemplates on religion, spirituality etc. in a logical manner, but also. conducts socio-psychological analyses along the way. This concern also persists within him as to how 'the fog and sallowness of religion has stolen the colour from the beautiful environment of our country. The imbalance between development and environment has been strongly underlined in it. Kailash Mansarovar is situated in Tibet which is now under China. In the journey, the prosperity of China can be seen face to face with the destitution of Nepal. 'The question of health and cleanliness gets buried under faith and belief. Along with thrill and interest, there is amazing storytelling in this travel narrative. Along with the religious and spiritual aspects, this book will undoubtedly prove to be helpful in understanding the geography, society, environment, diplomacy, development and cultural-political relations of India, Nepal, Tibet and China.

India, 1658. History blazes in the pages of Tiger Claws as passion and desire ignite India's Muslim-Hindu conflict. The adventure that began with The Temple Dancer now continues as Maya, the temple dancer, traveling by caravan to her new owner, is kidnapped by the bandit prince Shivaji, and their destinies unite. Meanwhile, in the jeweled palace of Agra, Aurangzeb---a fanatic warrior-prince with an insatiable lust for power---conspires with the Eunuch Brotherhood to overthrow his own father, the dissolute Mogul Emperor. Shivaji reforges Maya's broken sword, sparking a rebellion that will rage across India and shatter the Mogul Empire. To this day, the names Shivaji and Aurangzeb inspire fierce love and fiercer hatred. Only the vast canvas of an epic novel can truly embody them. In Tiger Claws, a master storyteller breathes new life into their history---a conflict that shaped the face of India, and our world today. With thrilling, sensual prose, John Speed weaves a rich tapestry of intertwining stories---of commoner and king, of women and the men they love, of Hindu priest and Muslim sheik, of eunuch, farang, and devadasi; a world of violence, passion, and heartbreak; of unexpected wonder and enduring love.
