Ancient India - where Vishvaamitra through Vedic austerities and Yaajnavalkya through Vedantic insight, explored the soaring levels of human consciousness; where Valmiki and Kalidasa created sublime poetry; where Rama and Yudhishthira ruled with an exquisite composite of wisdom, welfare and justice as the stuff of their royal sceptres; and where Lord Krishna spoke the wondrously universal philosophy of the Bhagavad Gita - theses gems from the treasures of India's spiritual and literary heritage, form the themes that link this volume of modern essays. While these stories have been told and retold, interpreted and re-interpreted through millennia, this fluent and enjoyable narrative, presents a journey of exploration and analysis to find new meanings in the ancient words - looking at them through the prism of a modern, liberal and humanistic world-view.

India's richest and biggest diamond merchant was found murdered in his villa on the outskirts of Mumbai, and with him died many secrets. But the Mumbai Police was not the only one who wanted to find the killer: RAW was interested too. Ayaan, an ex SFF soldier, a man with no family, no conscience and no spare clothes was RAW's choice to investigate the murder of India's richest diamond merchant and to discover why some terrorist organizations are interested in diamonds. What was meant to be a clandestine operation made Ayaan, RAW's dispensable asset, the most wanted man. RAW has stepped on some toes and they were not welcomed. A series of terrifying events started to unfold around the city as soon as Arnav Jaykar, the investigation officer and the Joint Commissioner of Police, accepted help from a strange man.

In this cauldron of great illusion, with the sun as fire, day-night as fuel; using months and seasons as stirrer, Time is cooking all beings - that is the message. ~Yudhishthira, in the Mahabharata's Vana-parva 313.118 The Mahabharatha never ceases to fascinate. By far the longest of the world's epics, it transcends the limitations of genre. History, encyclopaedia, philosophy, scripture, warrior saga, it encapsulates all these in one exalting epic tragedy - underscoring the truth in the ancient adage that the whole knowable world is Vyasa's leftover. The Great Epic of India encompasses an awesome interplay of human effort and destiny, set against the backdrop of inexorable Time. Marvels and Mysteries, with its lucid and engaging narrative, seeks to unravel some of its enigmas: the characters of Vyasa, Krshna, Yudhishthira, Arjuna, and Draupadi; aspects of the Mahabharatha's historicity; its medley of interpretations; the stupendous text-critical project to sift its perceived accretions; its inter-relationship with the Ramayana and other epics; and its universal relevance brought home through a series of trans-cultural comparisons. This is the one book about the Mahabharatha which everyone will love to read and gift.
