- Essentials of Upanishads :- This book is addressed to those who are interested in the rich Hindu Heritage and Vedic culture, but may not be academics or scholars. The quotations from the Upanishads are in footnotes so that a person who does not know Sanskrit can read the book smoothly. All the ten major Upanishads printed in Devanagari need a book of 500 pages of this size. Introducing all the important ideas of Upanishads in a book of 100 pages is a daunting task. In this book, we have not only responded to the special topics requested by our well-wishers, but have covered information not available in other books on Upanishads. Our intention is to draw the reader’s attention to several topics of interest in everyday life, so that he/she can do more reading and pondering. The topics covered here are the relations of the Upanishads to Veda mantras, Vedanta and Indian philosophy in general. The 12 anecdotes given here throw a wealth of light on the way of life in the Upanishad period, more specifically the period of Chhandogya Upanishad. A common topic of interest to many of our readers is the educational system. Was it home schooling or residential schools? What was the age when the boys went to these residential schools? What was the duration? Did all the teachers belong to brahmin caste? Were those who were not brahmins turned away? Did some persons in their middle age go to a teacher for instruction? The book included essays on Brahman, the bliss, Truth, Infinity and Knowledge.
- Ganapati Brahmanaspati and Kumara (Mantras from Rig Veda, Yajur Veda and Upanishdas) :-Ganapati or Brahmanaspati is a Cosmic power. He leads the aspirant on the divine path appropriate to that persons. He removes all the obstacles in the path. Obstacle is something that obstructs human movement or progress. Nature places these obstacles to test one’s perseverance. If one is serious about his/her movement towards progress, a clear guidance comes for the course of action. The present book carries several mantras from the Veda in the context. Chanting them with faith suggests a course of action.
- Essentials of Tantra :- The tantras aim to bring to the front the bliss which is latent in us. This book aims to convey briefly a variety of knowledge needed for living a harmonious, progressive and satisfying life. This book provides an overview of Tantra, how to begin, Tantra sadhana, five schools of practice including vama marga, books on tantra, Chakras, Kundalini a most importantly, its connection with Veda, Yoga and Mantras. A special chapter on Sri Chakra is a particular highlight. Overall, it provides a comprehensive view of Tantra.
- Agni in Rig Veda – First 300 Mantra-s by 12 Rishi-s :- Agni is the most important, the most universal of the Vedic gods. In the physical world he is the general devours and enjoyer. He is also the purifier; when he devours and enjoys then also he purifies. He is the fire that prepares and perfects; he is also the fire that assimilates and the heat of energy that forms. He is the heat of life and creates the sap, the rasa in things, the essence of their substantial being and the essence of their delight.He is equally the will in Prana, the dynamic Life-energy, and in that energy performs the same functions. Devouring and enjoying, purifying, preparing, assimilating, forming, he rises upwards always and transfigures his powers into the Maruts, the energies of Mind. Our passions and obscure emotions are the smoke of Agni’s burning. All our nervous forces are assured of their action only by his support.If he is the will on our nervous being and purifiles it by action, he is also the will in the mind and clarifies it by aspiration. When he enters into the intellect, he is drawing near to his divine birthplace and home. He leads the thoughts towards effective power; he leads the active energies towards light.

This is a fascinating book for readers interested in the inner meanings of Veda and its application in daily life.
