Life's beautiful moments are all around us, if only one stops enough to notice. A random gesture of compassion has the power to reverberate multifold between a pair of strangers, a teacher's passion to fulfil her unsung duties goes a long way to mould a child's personality, a poor carpenter travelling a substantial distance to return a pittance proves his immense wealth of character, and sometimes, your own child surprises you with a maturity way beyond their years. These and many more soul-searching anecdotes are brought to you by Pinky Acharya to stir the spirit into thinking about the finer nuances of life. Tat Tvam Asi (that art thou) is Pinky Acharya's veridical journey that propagates empathy through inner cleansing. As the title suggests, once realisation dawns that each one of us is a mere drop in the ocean of the Supreme Being - though a tiny extension of the same - it is difficult to have thoughts or perform actions that are unworthy of the Almighty.

Tat tvam asi is an extraordinary book enveloping the gamut of the Upanishadic insights in all their profundity and splendour. Its author is a literary genius with about40 books and compositions to his credit. The book, which has received over 12 awards from various institutions in India, is written in a style that is quiteUpanishadic and not easily comprehensible to the ordinary man. It also uplifts the imagination of the reader. This translation is an attempt to make Tat tvam asi reach aglobal audience unfamiliar with Upanishadic terms and concepts. It could not have been achieved without a background in Philosophy, both Indian and WesternNevertheless it was an arduous exercise to find suitable words to convey the correct meaning intended by the author. I am grateful to the author for giving me freedom to accomplish it in my own way as well as for accepting the translation as authentic Undertaking the work of translation was a highly satisfying and enrichingexperience. This translation, one hopes, will generate a renaissance in Upanishadic knowledge at an international level, as Tat tvam asi did in Kerala, when it was firstpublished.

This collection of new essays explores how Germany's imagined Asia informed its national fantasies at crucial historical junctures. It will influence future scholarly explorations of Asian-German cultural transfer. The first collection of essays in the new field of Asian-German Studies, Imagining Germany Imagining Asia demonstrates that Germany and Asia have always shared cultural spaces. Indeed, since the time of the German Enlightenment, Asia served as the foil for fantasies of sexuality, escape, danger, competition, and racial and spiritual purity that were central to foundational ideas of a cohesive German national culture during crucial historical junctures such as fascism or reunification. By exploring the complex and varied phenomenon of German "Orientalism," these essays argue that the relation between an imagined Germany and an imagined Asia defies the idea of a one-way influence, instead conceiving of their cultural transfers and synergies as multidirectional and mutually perpetuating. Examining literary and non-literary texts from the eighteenth century to the present, these essays cover a wide rangeof topics and genres in disciplines including philosophy, film and visual culture, theater, literary studies, and the history of science. Ideally positioned to shape further contributions, Imagining Germany Imagining Asiawill attract a wide range of readers interested in German, Asian, colonial, postcolonial, and transnational studies.

Bridging the gulf between the nascent world of J. Krishnamurti's self-Knowing and the ancient world of Self-Realization. Self-Realization is far better known than self-Knowing. Two renowned Advaitic masters of the last century, Sri Ramana Maharshi and Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj, had created worldwide awareness of this ancient Advaitic tradition going back thousands of years, all the way to Adi Sankaracharya and the Upanishadic sages. By contrast, self-Knowing has been the lesser known as it has, by and large, remained nestled within the writings of the master, Sri J. Krishnamurti. Starting with the principles of self-Knowing laid down by J. Krishnamurti, the author systematically unfolds a meditative process that is free of the contamination by the self. Defining fundamentals such as self and what is, and going on to the ensuing theme of 'the identification, observation and understanding of the self, ' he arrives at 'the calming and silencing of the self '. It is here that the illusory nature of the self begins to shine. Without supportive meditations and intense selfless interest, one cannot come even this far. Deviating unambiguously, at a certain point, from J. Krishnamurti's line of exposition, the author invokes 'the impossible to ignore' Atma, and in this way leads us to the Advaitic climax of Tat Tvam Asi. In essence, he convinces us that self-Knowing is not only absolutely necessary but also that, without self-Knowing, the entire world of Self-Realization may be poised on shaky ground. This work is intended for serious seekers. The contents are drawn from the teachings imparted by the author at 'Tat Tvam Asi' International, seven-day residential retreat in 2016. They also constitute the textual material for an on-line course in Self-Realization through self-Knowing. Each of its seven chapters throbs with the vitality of a bold new enquiry, which takes the form of questions and answers. A former research scientist, Sankara Bhagavadpada received his PhD in theoretical nuclear physics from the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR), Mumbai in 1980. He continues to teach Vedic Astrology and has been teaching Atmajnana (self-Knowing leading to Self-Realization) in India, USA and several South American countries.
