The Hindus Of Hindustan : A Civilizational Journey
Notwithstanding the views of a section of historians and literati, spiritual, religious, and cultural continuity in India goes back many millennia. Identification with, and adoration of, the land was expressed in the sixty-three verses long Prithvi Sukta of the Atharva Veda, described as the first “national song” in the world. Veneration of the land remained a recurrent theme in sacred literature.
Kautilya, in the Arthasastra, articulated the ideal of political unification, when he said that from the Himalayas to the seas, the land should have one ruler. That ideal was accompanied by a consciousness of cultural union.
Evidence of continuity of religious beliefs and motifs could be traced to the late Upper Palaeolithic (c.9000-8000) site of Baghor I (Sidhi district, Madhya Pradesh), to the celebrated Indus Valley Civilization, and well thereafter.
Rulers of foreign origin, who ruled over parts of the north-western regions for significant periods, wholly immersed themselves in the spiritual traditions of the land. Ancient lawgivers facilitated the assimilation of foreign groups within the capacious embrace of Indian civilization. Things took a dramatically new turn with the advent of a new group of invaders in the eighth century CE.
The book highlights the underlying features of Indian civilization, that were manifest from its founding moments, and that remained unchanged over the millennia.

Srimad Bhagawata is a unique Purana. Its numerous stories and narrations have clear streaks of spiritual messages couched in them. In this book, an attempt has been made to skim over Bhagwata and pause now and then to wonder at its beauty and depth. Originally written by Krishna Dwaipayana Vyaasa known as Veda Vyaasa, this English version is retold by Swami Chinmayananda.
On Sri Krishna : “The supreme essence born as a mass of beauty, music and joy, dazzling in wisdom, noisy with laughter, ever a master of circumstances, a king of events, frisking about in life’s melancholy contentions, meeting challenges with daring and confidence, at once a hero and a child all rolled in one – this is the perfect God-man, the eternal child of Vrindavan”.– Swami Chinmayananda.

Life Of Krishna (5-10 Years) – Part 2 Game
In this game, stories from Krishna’s life based on the Bhagavat Purana have been weaved into a travel through a board game. Each story block has a game to play, points to win & a value to learn (symbolism behind the story). There are two parts – difficulty level of the games are the same – but different sets of stories & challenges. For example – every demon that Krishna defeats symbolizes a negative in us – the game will lead to defeat that negative in us. A good blend of physical & intellectual games (that are re-playable) have been designed in both boxes. There is a game play book which explains the stories, rules to play each game, how many points to collect, etc.
