About the Book
The Agama literature includes the Silpa-Sastra, which is basic to
iconography. Worship dealt with I the Agama necessarily involves images
which are worship-worthy. The rituals and sequences that are elaborated in
the Agama books find relevance only in the context of an icon which is
contained in a shrine. And icons are meaningful only in the context of
shrines and worship. Agama texts are not easily accessible to the people. A
large number of them are still available only in manuscripts, some of them
which have been printed are only in their Sanskrit originals. There is need,
therefore, to present relevant excerpts from them at least, to make the
volumes on iconography more meaningful. Further, Indian temples are to be
considered only in the general framework of temple culture, which include
not only religious and philosophical aspects also. The volumes named Agama
Encyclopaedia named Agama Encyclopaaedia deals with the temple-culture and
Agama framework, the sectarian division of the Agama into Saiva, Vaisnava
and Sakta, and the topics selected from the Agama texts follow. Thus, the
entirety of the Agama, literature in so far as it is relevant to the
temple-culture is brought within the scope of the Agama Encyclopaedia.

(NEW) 9. Introduction to Indian Astrology/ Rama R Rao, Rs. 200
ISBN: 81-7030-835-6
About the Book
Curiosity to know one's future is both natural and universal; and therefore
any method which attempts to unravel the mystery of the future has an
attraction for the future has an Astrology, palmistry, numerology and
various extrasensory processes which claim to predict the future have a
popular appareal. An elementary knowledge of astronomy and a historical
perspective are indispensable for a beginner. After going through the
authoritative texts like Brihat Jataka, Brihat Parasara, Horasastra,
Phaladipika etc., one arrives at the conclusion that the variables one has
to tackle are far too many and the interpretations far too numerous and the
task of integrating the diverse material is too complex. The subject
requires deep study and one has to develop an insight and intuition to
become a successful astrologer. The author has tried to present the
essentials of Hindu Astrology with as objective an approach possible.

ISBN 81-7030-175-0
About the Book
"The work by Laksmanadesika comprises twenty-five chapters. The commentator
Ragahvabhatta states that of the 25 chapters of the Sarada-tilaka, chapters
1-24 correspond to the 24 tattvas of Samkhya Philosophy and the last one
devoted to Yoga, show that Purusa of Samkhya is beyond Prakriti and Vikriti.
The first chapter is Prakriti as it discusses creation. Chapters ii-xxiv
deals with Prakriti-Vikriti. In this work, Siva is represented both as
Saguna and Niguna according to how he is identified with Prakriti or
differentiated from it. From Prakriti or Sakti arises Nada which gives rise
to Bindu. The interesting features of this work are practices for
subjugation of women, destruction of enemies and Tantras for malevolent
purposes. Diksa, Purscarana and nyasa figures prominently in it chapters
vii-xxii deals with the Mantras of Saraswati, Lakshmi, Bhuvneswari, Durga,
Tripura, Ganesha and Candramas. This work contains list of works known and
unknown. It draws materials from Astronomical and mathematical works. Though
generally sober, this work lays down the six malevolent rites, and
prescribes the propitiation of the respective presiding deities. The drawing
of Yantras for malefic purposes is also prescribed. It should also be noted
that unlike many other works of this kind, it is free from the usual
practices of the Vamamarga."

ISBN: 81-7030-832-1, Series: Sri Garib Dass Oriental Series No. 304
About the Book
Srividya is discipline where abounds considerable mystery, esotericism
and occultism. There is among common people quite some ignorance concerning
its philosophy and practice. There is also a host of doubts and
uncertainties among practitioners themselves. The presence of different
tradition in Srividya is a further source of confusion. The textual
background to Srividya has almost become obscure and obsolete; it has become
more a matter of individual lineages of practices. In the circumstances
there is a need for an authentic and comprehensive account of all three
aspects of Srividya, viz. The Yantra, The Mantra and The Tantra. This Book
is an attempt to provide one. Along with all textual details concerning the
philosophy and practice of Srividya, relevant iconographic details with
illustrations have also been given.
