Hajj and the Arts of Pilgrimage – Assouline Coffee Table Book Hardcover
$788.00Since the advent of Islam, Hajj has been one of the most remarkable religious gatherings in the world. A compulsory act for Muslims, if they are able, the annual observance of Hajj has always had a great impact on the Muslim world, and for centuries pilgrims and rulers alike have held a deep love for the Holy Sanctuaries of Mecca and Medina. Yet until recently this ritual has remained largely unfamiliar to the Western world.
The Khalili Collection of Hajj and the Arts of Pilgrimage comprises some 5,000 objects covering all aspects of Hajj, from the eighth to the twenty-first centuries and geographically from China to India and around the globe to Morocco and the United Kingdom. It includes Qur’ans, illustrated manuscripts, rare books, scientific instruments, textiles, coins, paintings and prints, as well as unique archival documents and examples of the work of some of the earliest photographers of the Hajj. It is one of the largest and most comprehensive collections of its kind.
Featuring insightful chapters on the Islamic principles of Hajj, travel, rituals, sacred manuscripts, textiles, souvenirs and Western perspectives, this wonderfully illustrated volume narrates and reveals the broad spiritual, cultural and artistic aspects of the pilgrimage to Mecca and Medina. Told exclusively through the Khalili Collection of Hajj and the Arts of Pilgrimage by Qaisra M. Khan, formerly at the British Museum and now an curator for the Khalili Collections, who for more than fifteen years has specialized in the Arts of Pilgrimage, this book will significantly enrich all people’s understanding of this important practice

I am Gita Paperback Deep Trivedi
$26.00THE PSYCHOLOGY OF BHAGAVAD GITA EXPLAINED LIKE NEVER BEFORE WITH ESSENCE OF ALL 700 SHLOKAS!
Moments before the Mahabharata war, Arjuna says, ‘I don’t wish to slay my brothers or commit violence just to gain a kingdom; even the scriptures forbid this!’
Are you in agreement with Arjuna?
Why did Krishna disagree with Arjuna?
Did Krishna incite Arjuna to fight the war or did he show him the right path?
Can there be valid reasons for committing violence and waging a war?
Who is right—Krishna or Arjuna?
Why did it take Krishna all of 18 chapters to convince Arjuna?
Certainly, Gita is one but the questions are many! And Gita is the epitome of psychology, as Krishna is the first psychologist of human history; and it is spiritual psychology alone that can accurately answer all the questions related to mind and life. Yet, the psychological aspects of Gita have always been ignored.
‘I am Gita’ is the first-ever book on Bhagavad Gita that elucidates the essence of all 700 shlokas along with its psychological and spiritual dimension in totality. In the book, Arjuna poses his questions in first person, and Krishna also answers in first person, which makes the conversation between Krishna and Arjuna come alive. Imparting the thrill of a story, the book, penned in a simple language, will help people of all age groups grasp the true essence of the Gita effortlessly.
Deep Trivedi is the author of several bestsellers such as ‘I am Krishna’, ‘I am The Mind’, ‘Everything is Psychology’ and many more. He holds an international record for conducting 168 hours of workshops on the Bhagavad Gita. He has also been awarded with an Honorary Doctorate for his works on the psychology of Bhagavad Gita.
