        by J.P. Vaswani

        The Gita, as Sadhu Vaswani describes it, is the Bible of Humanity, the Universal Scripture. It is not just meant for scholars and philosophers, but ordinary mortals like us; and Rev. Dada's purpose in offering the Gita “in a nutshell” is to make it accessible, comprehensible to us all. To this end, Rev. Dada offers us succinct summaries of each chapter and follows it up with his comments and exercises which lead us to think for ourselves and make choices that apply to our own lives.

        Gobble You Up!

        by Gita Wolf, Sunita

        Gobble You Up! is a story in cumulative rhyme, centering on a wily jackal, who is too lazy to hunt for his food. He tricks his friend, the crane into becoming his prey… and then proceeds to gobble up every animal he comes across… The book features Meena art from Rajasthan, done by women on the walls and floors of their homes. This is the first time that this style–rarely seen outside the confines of Meena villages–has been used in a children’s book. Meena artist Sunita’s black-and-white drawings rework traditional imagery to illustrate a gamboling tale. To re-create the quality of the original art and rendering, the book has been silkscreen-printed by hand onto kraft paper using black and white ink. Each book is a numbered edition.

        Frida Folk

        by Gaby Franger, Gita Wolf

        Here’s another book about Frida Kahlo, and this one doesn’t feature even a single original painting. What it does contain are encounters with her– curious, moving, or just fun – from around the world. From Frida fashion dolls to little clay Friditas, all of us at some point have encountered the countless souvenirs, images and mementos that reinvent the great Mexican artist, and keep her alive in popular memory. Her own painting was steeped in Mexican folk art, and the connection has turned out to be curiously reciprocal. Popular artists – not just in Mexico but around the world – have been inspired by her life, art, and persona, to come up with extraordinary and at times very curious tributes to her. The ways in which she is repeatedly re-labeled and re-invented is unprecedented in the world of art. Is this global appropriation of Frida as an icon – Fridamania – just commercial kitsch? Or is there another way of thinking about the phenomenon? Featuring a staggering variety of Frida objects, images and mementoes in every conceivable material, this book traces some of the trails that Frida herself laid... a legacy which allows people to create their own countless versions of her.

        My Gita

        by Devdutt Pattanaik

        In My Gita, acclaimed mythologist Devdutt Pattanaik demystifies The Bhagavad Gita for the contemporary reader. His unique approach — thematic rather than verse-by-verse — makes the ancient treatise eminently accessible, combined as it is with his trademark illustrations and simple diagrams. In a world that seems spellbound by argument over dialogue, vi-vaad over sam-vaad, Devdutt highlights how Krishna nudges Arjuna to understand rather than judge his relationships. This becomes relevant today when we are increasingly indulging and isolating the self (self-improvement, self-actualization, self-realization—even), ignoring the fact that we live in an ecosystem of others, where we can nourish each other with food, love and meaning, even when we fight. Let My Gita inform your Gita.

      • The Gita by Aurobindo

        by Vyasa / Aurobindo

        The Gita, an epic poem, considered a classic within the history of literature and philosophy, and central within the epic poem the Mahabharata composed by Vyasa. It expresses a dialogue between the charioteer Krishna and the warrior Arjuna at a crucial moment at the outset of war. This classic yet modern expression by Sri Aurobindo highlights 'karma' action, an essential character of Yoga to readers worldwide. Gandhi, Huxley, Einstein, Jung and Hesse were all influenced by this masterpiece, and this edition has been designed for a contemporary reader by A. Sherlal.
