Mahabharatee – Five Women who Held Court Before the War
For the last time Draupadi throws a glance at her untied tresses; for the last time she looks into the eyes that have become bright with unshed tears. These eyes have been chasing vengeance like a hunter follows a spoor. She raises her index finger and points it towards her mirror image. She shouts – “I will ensure that a war must happen.”
While the stars are growing dim in the pre-dawn sky, the matriarch of Kuru dynasty – Satyavati — arrives on the battlefield of Kurukshetra to hold a discussion with Kunti, Gandhari, Draupadi and Rukmini. She is determined to bring a peaceful settlement to prevent the war in her dynasty. On the other hand, Draupadi, burning in the fire of revenge for last thirteen years desperately wants this war to happen. While the court is divided in two amongst the women of Kuru dynasty, Rukmini joins the discussion. Along with her, she brings a new perspective.
Could the discussion between the five women change the course of Mahabharata?
“It makes a deeply engaging and interesting read, beyond doubt.” — Vinay Sahasrabuddhe, President, Indian Council for Cultural Relations.

Big Panda and Tiny Dragon embark on a journey through the seasons of the year together. They get lost, as many of us do. But while lost, they discover many beautiful sights they’d never have found had they gone the right way. Told through a series of beautiful drawings and quiet, sometimes silly, conversations, the panda and the dragon explore the thoughts and emotions, hardships and happiness that connect us all. In nature, they learn how to live in the moment, how to be at peace with uncertainty, and how to find the strength to overcome life’s obstacles together.
Inspired by Buddhist philosophy and spirituality, British author and artist James Norbury created the adventures of Big Panda and Tiny Dragon to share ideas that have helped him through difficult times. The book’s series of vignettes can be read cover to cover or dipped into whenever inspiration is needed. James hopes the book’s words and images will inspire others to pause, enjoy the stillness, and look at life in a positive new way.

Maneki Neko: The Japanese Secret to Good Luck and Happiness
What does “good luck” look like and how do you achieve it?
Lucky symbols, lucky numbers, lucky charms and luck-creating rituals–how is it that a disciplined and hard-working country like Japan is so invested in the idea of luck? And what, exactly, does “good luck” mean?
This insightful book–by a leading expert on the subject–explores the ways in which “good luck” symbols and rituals in Japan are used in tandem with diligence and a positive attitude to help people overcome life’s many twists, turns and bad patches.
It explores how customs and beliefs play a vital role in creating positive expectations and outcomes–and includes practical exercises for bringing good fortune and happiness into your own life.
Author Nobuo Suzuki acquaints us with beloved Japanese icons of luck, prosperity, and goal-setting and explains what they truly represent–including Maneki Neko (the “Lucky Cat”), Daruma (the “Lucky Buddha”) and the Seven Lucky Gods of Good Fortune. We even meet some quirky and much beloved modern Japanese symbols of luck like the “Golden Poop” (yes, you read that right!). And we learn how these symbols all foster a sense of community which contributes to the happiness and well-being of all individuals in Japan.
With this book, luck becomes a matter of self-understanding and connection to others rather than something that exists outside of ourselves and other people. It is an integral part of life and learning to shape out a destiny for ourselves that we can view with pride and contentment.
