Unveiling Islam
Author:
Roger De Pasquier

₨900
In these recent years, Islam has captured the attention of the West and has baffled it. Among all the world’s religions, it is only Islam that is not just surviving but also flourishing. Yet many people know little about Islam and regard its continuing attraction as something of a mystery. This book presents a thorough introduction to Muslim belief, history and culture for readers with little or no prior understanding of Islam and deals not only with topical issues, such as ‘fundamentalism’ and the status of Muslim women, but provides an overview of the Qur’an, the Prophet, Islamic history, the development of sects, and the nature of Muslim art and literature. The author goes beyond the standard judgements of journalism and Orientalist scholarship, to show the Muslim faith for what it is: not merely a system of beliefs and rituals, but an entire way of life. Unbiased yet passionate, the book offers an `unveiling’ which must be heeded if the present mutual incomprehension between East and West is to be overcome.
***
“This book offers an exceptionally lucid and concise introduction to Islam specially intended for those with little prior knowledge or understanding of it.” —Muslim World Book Review

***
“In this excellent translation by T. J. Winter from the French original, the principal tenets of Islamic faith are presented elegantly and succinctly… Recommended to both non-Muslims who want to learn more… and to Muslims who find their commitment wavering, and are in need of intellectual reinforcement.” —Islamica

EARLY SUFI WOMEN

Rkia Elaroui Cornell

₨1,100

EARLY SUFI WOMEN – (Dhikr an-Niswa al-Muta ‘abbidāt as-Sūfiyyāt by Abu ‘Abd al-Rahmān as-Sulami)
This work is a translation of the long-lost Dhikr an-Niswat al-muta’abbideit as-sufistit (Book of Sufi Women), the influential work on Sufi women saints by Abu `Abd ar-Rahman as-Sulami (d. 1021), that was thought lost until 1991, when a unique manuscript of the work was found in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia which dates to the year 1084, only sixty-three year after the death of Sulami himself. This makes it one of the earliest manuscripts of Sulami’s works in existence arid the earliest work on Sufi women to appear in the Islamic hagiographical tradition. The work contains notices on eighty-four women and provides a picture of independent female spirituality in Islam that calls into question many long-held myths about the status of women in the Muslim world. Not only does Sufi spirituality possess a marked feminine dimension, but throughout the centuries numerous women in different areas of the Islamic world have participated in the spiritual teachings of Sufism. This classical work of Sulami is a precious testament to the role of women in the Sufi tradition in the past and to female spirituality in Islam in general. Rkia Cornell has meticulously translated and annotated this rich document, and her introduction clarifies the importance of the text in relation to the extensive writings of its author Sulami. …But the real payoff of this detailed scholarship has been to reveal this gem of feminine spirituality to a new audience.

Sufis of Andalusia

R. W. J. Austin

₨1,200
Sufis of Andalusia –
(The Rūh al-Quds and Durrat al-Fākhirah by Ibn ‘Arabi)
This book comprises biographical sketches describing the lives and teaching of some Sufi masters of the 12-13’h centuries from Muslim Spain and North Africa. The sketches come from two manuscript works by a great Muslim mystic, the celebrated Sufi, Muhyi al-Din Ibn ‘Arabi, of whose life and work there is a brief account in the introduction. The book provides, in a most inspiring way, many insights into the teachings and practices pf the Sufis, whose deep spiritual experience provided the foundation of devotional life in Islam. Ibn `Arabi’s sketches invite us to become acquainted with some of the greatest souls of his time, to sense some measure of their sanctity and to wonder at their unswerving and rigorous dedication. The material has been edited and compiled with great skill to make for easy reading of these two important sources, here translated into English for the first time. There is adequate notation for the reader quite unfamiliar with Muslim practices and customs, as well as for the student reading in depth.

REVELATION OF THE MYSTERY

REVELATION OF THE MYSTERY
(Kashf al-Mahjūb by ‘Alī Al-Hujwīri)
Al-Hujwiri was one of the greatest saints and writers of Sufism. He is most famous for his work Revelation of Mystery, or Kashf al-Mahjab which has been revered by students of Sufism for nine centuries. This seminal book began Sufism’s rich literary history in the Persian language. It is a distillation of the teachings and lore of the Sufism of Al-Hujwiri’s time, but its wisdom is eternal. This translation of the most ancient and celebrated Persian treatise on Sufism will be found useful not only by the small number of students familiar with the subject at first hand, but also for the general readers who are interested in the general history of mysticism. Its object is to set forth a complete system of Sufism, not to put together a great number of sayings by different Shaykhs, but to discuss and expound the doctrines and practices of the Sufis. Even the biographical section of the work is largely expository. Before stating his own view the author generally examines the current opinions on the same topic and refutes them if necessary. Hujwiri discusses various themes related to the spiritual path, including knowledge, union, purity, prayer and love and offers the spiritual seeker universal and timeless advice on such subjects as contemplation, generosity spiritual courtesy and false teachers from the real, a discernment just and important in our time.

TALES OF MYSTIC MEANING

₨950
TALES OF MYSTIC MEANING -(Selections from the Mathnawi of Jalāl-ud-Dīn Rūmī)
the great Persian poet and mystic: In Tales of Mystic Meaning, Prof. R. A. Nicholson presents translations of the most important stories from this entertaining work, which draws its inspiration from the rich religious philosophy of the Sufis, and their belief that all things emanate from God and are moving towards ultimate reunion with Him. Belonging to the last period of Riami’s life, the Mathnawi consists of a series of tales that explore the eternal questions of life’s meaning and purpose. Prof. Nicholson’s translation preserves the direct semi-colloquial style of the tales, their lively dialogue and the humorous descriptions of human nature in which they abound. Rilmi’s moral and mystical teaching lends itself to universal application and displays with a light touch the wisdom that never plays on the surface without contemplating the hidden depths beneath. Nicholson combined exact scholarship with notable literary gifts coupled with deep understanding of Islam and of the Muslim peoples. Some of his versions of Arabic and Persian poetry entitle him to be considered a poet in his own right.

APPARENT AND HIDDEN MEANING
Author:
René Guénon

₨750
APPARENT AND HIDDEN MEANING -Insights into Christian Esoterism

“This collection contains valuable traditional interpretations of many important figures and organizations of medieval Christianity and should be of great interest not only to those interested in traditional studies, but also to medievalists and students of the inner dimension of Christianity.” —S. H. Nasr
*** This volume collects under a single cover a number of seminal essays dealing with the subject and also with certain concrete manifestations of Christian esoterism in the medieval period. Without pretending to be thorough on so inexhaustible a subject, this important work of Guenon casts an unexpected light onto a specifically esoteric and initiatic aspect of Dante’s work, and above all of his Divine Comedy. Dante was without doubt far more than a literary genius, and one is justified in thinking that many treasures remain to be discovered in what Guenon calls ‘the spiritual testament of the Middle Ages.’ The author undertakes to establish that the three divisions of The Divine Comedy represent stages of initiatic realization and testify to Dante’s knowledge of traditional sciences unknown to the moderns: the science of numbers, of cosmic cycles, and of sacred astrology. He also touches on the all-important question of medieval esoterism, and corrects the errors of earlier scholars who had only glimpsed the deeper meaning of Dante’s work— providing an entirely new explanation of numerous points not previously elucidated.

INTRODUCTION TO THE STUDY OF THE ORIENTAL DOCTRINES
Author:
René Guénon
₨1,350

INTRODUCTION TO THE STUDY OF THE ORIENTAL DOCTRINES
while pointing ceaselessly to the perennial wisdom found in past cultures ranging from the Shamanistic to the Indian and Chinese, the Hellenic and Judaic, the Christian and Islamic, and including also Alchemy, Hermeticism, and other esoteric currents, they direct the reader also to the deepest level of religious praxis, emphasizing the need for affiliation with a revealed tradition even while acknowledging the final identity of all spiritual paths as they approach the summit of spiritual realization. This extraordinary French metaphysician is gradually being recognized by deeper thinkers as one of the few who have truly penetrated the cloying veil of the modern age. As an expositor of pure metaphysics and its application to the science of symbols, Guenon is without peer; and his extraordinarily prescient critique of the modern world is attracting more and more attention. Little known in the English speaking world, Guenon has nevertheless long been recognized as a veritable criterion of truth by a vanguard of remarkable writers who evince that rare combination: intellectuality and spirituality. Regarded by leading scholars as the first truly authentic interpreter of many Eastern doctrines in the West, Guenon never tired, in face of the seemingly inexorable process of dissolution in the twentieth century, of pointing to the transcendent unity of all religious faiths and the abiding Truth that contains them all.

FUNDAMENTAL SYMBOLS
Author:
René Guénon
₨1,350

FUNDAMENTAL SYMBOLS -The Universal Language of Sacred Science
This long awaited volume is presented here in English for the first time; and, since it constitutes one of Guenon’s greatest works, its publication must be counted as one of the great literary events of this era. In this work, probably the most significant in a modern Western language concerning symbolism, Guenon deals with the metaphysical and cosmological meaning of symbols drawn from traditions as far apart as the Greek and the Buddhist, the Druid and the Islamic. To glance at the chapter headings is to be impressed by the wealth and Variety of the contents— The Science of Letters, Symbolic Weapons., The Wild Boar & the Bear, The Language of the Birds, The Bridge and the Rainbow— are but a few of the seventy-six chapters. A striking aspect of the book is that it gives a new significance to so many of the objects, natural and man-made, with which we are inescapably surrounded in our daily life. Sensitive readers will be enriched by the immense perspective which is here offered them, both in time and space; and they will see the book above all as an introduction to the spiritual life, an introduction which fascinates and compels. For some souls it will open doors which no other key could unlock. This is a major addition to the English corpus of Guenon’s works. *** ‘Works of Rene Guenon present the writings of one of the greatest sages of our time, whose voice is even more important today than when he was alive.” —Huston Smith

THE MULTIPLE STATES OF BEING
Author:
René Guénon

₨650

THE MULTIPLE STATES OF BEING
one of Guenon’s major works, treats a truly fundamental idea: the soul’s freedom lies in discovering its own nature as essential self-cognition and realising that all other states of knowledge and being are available to it as within itself. The metaphysics presupposed in such a realisation is discussed with thrust, brevity and incisiveness characteristic of the grand traditional style. The Multiple States of Being is the companion to, and the completion of The Symbolism of the Cross, which, together with Man and His Becoming According to the Vedanta, constitute Rene Guenon’s great trilogy of pure metaphysics. In this work, Guenon offers a masterful explication of the metaphysical order and its multiple manifestations—of the divine hierarchies and what has been called the Great Chain of Being— and in so doing demonstrates how intellective or intrinsic knowledge of what is, and of That which is Beyond what is, is a Way of Liberation. Guenon, the metaphysical social critic, master of arcane symbolism, comparative religionist, researcher of ancient mysteries and secret histories, summoner to spiritual renewal, herald of the end days, disappears here. Reality remains.

SYMBOLISM OF THE CROSS
Author:
René Guénon
₨850
SYMBOLISM OF THE CROSS
SYMBOLISM OF THE CROSS Rene Guenon Guenon gave proof of a universality of understanding that for centuries had no parallel in the Western world. Rene Guenon is one of the colossal figures of the twentieth century, probably the most significant concerning symbolism. In this book, one of his major works, Guenon deals with the metaphysical and cosmological meaning of the symbolism of the cross, a symbol common to all the traditions, a symbol which in its various forms is met with almost everywhere, and from the most remote times. It is therefore far from belonging to the Christian tradition, as is usually believed which, moreover, has somewhat lost sight of its symbolic character and has come to regard it as no longer anything but the sign of a historical event. Guenon explains, with reference to the law of correspondence which is the very foundation of all symbolism, that each thing expresses its metaphysical principle, from which it derives its reality, in accordance with its own order of existence; hence linking the multiplicity of manifestation to a reflection of the principal unity itself. A striking aspect of the book is that it gives a new significance to so many things that sensitive readers will be enriched by the immense perspective which is here offered them, both in time and space; and they will see the book above all as an introduction to the spiritual life, an introduction which fascinates and compels. For some souls it will open doors which no other key could unlock.
