Bharat is a civilisational-cultural unity that has stood strong for at least five thousand years. The people of the land defined by its geographical boundaries represent a unified culture transcending many of the divisive narratives breaking India today—Hindus versus non-Hindus, Dravidians versus non-Dravidians, tribals versus non-tribals, upper castes versus lower castes, and so on.

Bharat is a civilisational-cultural unity that has stood strong for at least five thousand years. The people of the land defined by its geographical boundaries represent a unified culture transcending many of the divisive narratives breaking India today—Hindus versus non-Hindus, Dravidians versus non-Dravidians, tribals versus non-tribals, upper castes versus lower castes, and so on. The essence of Bharat is Sanatana Dharma, a phenomenon best understood as a conglomerate of many traditions—both Vedic and non-Vedic. Though the foundational basis of Indian culture has been Vedic, the interaction with non-Vedic traditions involved synchrony, syncretism, and even debates, but without physical violence. However, beyond all that, the fundamental characteristic of traditions toward each other has been "indifference to differences." This is the key to understanding the overwhelmingly peaceful nature of multiculturalism in the country, which involves many languages, religions, faiths, and sub-cultures. The current understanding of the world and India only fuels conflict. A deeper comprehension of traditional India could potentially rediscover solutions for the pluralism of the world packing now into increasingly smaller geographical areas.

Nowhere else is humanity connected with its roots and finds expression in ways so diverse and visibly profound as in Bharat, that is India.

Here, the devoted yaatri can discover anew, as if the land and her folk are revealing splendors in a delightful Anveshana.

Indica Culture Photography Grant is an initiative of Indica Pictures, a platform under the Indica umbrella. Under the grant upcoming photographers are given a financial grant totaling INR 5,00,000. Published jointly with Chitraayana, another vertical of Indica, Anveshana contains portfolios by ICPG 2021 Grantees consisting of Manish Lakhani, Sankar Sridhar, Sudip Maiti, Abdul Munaff, Isaac Gergan, Himadri Sharma (Late), Devika Sukumaran and Pubarun Basu and prose written by Sumati Mehrishi and Jay Jina.

She chose the life of a warrior, leading from the front, protecting her ancestral kingdom.
She waded through treacherous destiny. Her uncompromising love restored her husband back to glory.
She lived in a hermitage, chose a king as husband, and challenged his dharma in open sabha- a mother who shaped an emperor who reshaped the civilization.
She watched the play of beauty and destruction from afar. When she took centre stage, she nurtured the future to find its feet.
She was regal and virtuous. She embarked on a divine mission, and chose an incredible destiny and groom for herself.
She, a fisherwoman, rose to rule an empire, navigating challenges and making tough decisions with her steely resolve.
She led her life on her own terms, choosing to stay on the sidelines but shaping life at the centre.
She courageously pursued truth, unafraid to challenge the greatest scholars on metaphysics. An inspiration to seekers of all times.
She was the wind beneath her husband’s wings. When he pursued the ultimate truth, she too walked the unyielding path.
She sought an improbable marriage. Her penance and devotion won her heaven, and for her husband too.
She has many faces, different roles in different times, embodying the essence of a great tradition. She carved a niche, charted her own path but upheld Dharma at all times.
She is Aryaa - the glorious woman of Bharatavarsha - manifestation of the eternally present Shakti.
This booklet is based on AtmajnAnopadeshavidhi, a short treatise (prakaraNa grantha) of Shankaracharya, much respected within the Advaita tradition. It leads the reader, literally holding his/her hand, from the simple way we observe the objects in the world to the inexpressible “Consciousness principle” (brahman) that is present in all of us and everywhere without any abstruse quotes or indecipherable terminologies.

“This translation by Dr. Ramesam Vemuri has made one of the most valuable works on Advaita now accessible to the English speaking public. – Peter Francis Dziuban, author of Consciousness Is All: Now Life Is Completely New
“A must-read for all Non-Dual practitioners who want to cut through the illusion and experience the Truth directly for themselves.” – Padma Neppalli, author of Not Two: The Essence of Non-duality
“It provides an easy-to-read summary of some of the fundamental concepts of Advaita and, as such, will greatly benefit the beginning student.” – Dennis Waite, author of A-U-M: Awakening to Reality
This book is a personal story of the author’s conscious and subconscious meditations for decades in understanding the relationship between “Physical Science '' (Matter) and “Spiritual Science” (Spirit). To put it another way, it is a story about the relationship between “Man” (Spirit masked by matter) and “GOD” (pure Spirit). The meditations are the result of the author’s lifelong interest in science in general and in physics in particular. H
This book is a personal story of the author’s conscious and subconscious meditations for decades in understanding the relationship between “Physical Science '' (Matter) and “Spiritual Science” (Spirit). To put it another way, it is a story about the relationship between “Man” (Spirit masked by matter) and “GOD” (pure Spirit). The meditations are the result of the author’s lifelong interest in science in general and in physics in particular. His upbringing in the ritual filled religious tradition of Hinduism evoked deep interest in finding the common ground of all religions. With a conviction that there must be something more absolute than the physical and mental universe of man he spent his life time meditating and discovering that spirituality and religion are as different as day and night.
Through his meditation, the author has been able to formulate his own concepts, ideas, and views about the relationship between GOD and Man.
The key message of this book is: the time has come for mankind to get onto the integrated path of "Benign Science" and "Pure Spirituality" to save our wonderful planet and to prove the veracity of the Vedic dictum: “The entire earth is one family”.
