Is Indian civilisation primitive? Is it true that the education system in India before the colonial rule was unscientific? Is Sanskrit a biased language? Did the White men introduce law and order and made the wild Indians civilised? The truth lies somewhere else. The Colonial Cross strongly rebukes those historians who have only managed to erase the memory from Indian minds of their rich culture, intellectual supremacy, kshatriya dharmic bodh and an evolved lifestyle. The author has challenged the prevailing narratives about our identity with insightful analysis and a sharp sense of perspective. His language is lucid and engaging; a brilliant eye-opener and a must-read.
When the mundane falls in love with the divine what arises is an overwhelming and exciting sense of wonder. What remains elusive and unspoken tries to take a shape and conjure a life of its own. Its restless musings have urged the author to dig deep and explore unknown spiritual mysteries through reflections, memoirs, essays, stories, allegorical plays and poems, a comprehensive body of work that spans a period of more than two decades.

When the mundane falls in love with the divine what arises is an overwhelming and exciting sense of wonder. What remains elusive and unspoken tries to take a shape and conjure a life of its own. Its restless musings have urged the author to dig deep and explore unknown spiritual mysteries through reflections, memoirs, essays, stories, allegorical plays and poems, a comprehensive body of work that spans a period of more than two decades. It is a thrilling and enjoyable journey into nuanced territories where words are usually reluctant to trespass. The language is fast-paced, yet deeply meditative, poignant and witty, bold and dynamic where fantasy and myth, science and experience, relationships and dreams are all held together by a mind that is open and scathing, inquisitive and humble. This book, meant primarily for the discerning and thoughtful reader, takes spiritual literature to sublime heights.

A monk foretells a king's death. A venomous snake pays a price for non-violence. A sage is in a dilemma over his compassion for animals. A cobbler remembers his past life. Why does a blind man come to see his lord? A monkey drives a scientist out of his laboratory...this is a random compilation of thirty-one tales, anecdotes and experiences that intrigue, enthral, amuse and make us ponder. These tales from the Puranas, folklores and the epics, from the lucid allegories of Sri Ramakrishna to the revealing experiences of Swami Paramananda, provide deep insights and glimpses of elusive truths beyond the layers of mundane reality. They dabble with unresolved questions of life, like the conflict between free will and destiny, effort and surrender. A few explore the concepts of time and dimensions, prejudices and insecurities while others are about love and faith. Bereft of fuss the tales are told with simplicity and wit. They entertain and startle, but above all, they make us reflect and rejoice.
