Books in English on classical Indian scriptures

Ajai Kumar Chhawchharia is a humble, unpretentious and simple-hearted author residing in the holy city of Ayodhya, the city famed as the place where the Supreme Being took birth as Lord Ram in some ancient time. It is perhaps for the first time that the author’s wonderful Books in English present to the world a detailed exposition in a simple language on ancient Indian scriptures and classical spiritual texts that were hitherto inaccessible for a majority of readers in the world because of the language barrier as they are either in classical Sanskrit, such as the Upanishads and many variations of the epic Ramayana, or are in vernacular Hindi, the latter especially being the case with the great poet-saint Goswami Tulsidas’ classics. Classical Indian scriptures such as the Upanishads and the various versions of the Ramayana are ripe with spiritualism, wisdom and metaphysical philosophy, but unfortunately they are restricted to a handful of scholars and book-shelves of libraries and not easily accessible to the modern world mainly because of the language barrier and lack of their availability in a modern format. The same thing applies to the devotional literature produced by the great saint-poet-scholar of medieval India named Goswami Tuslidas whose classics are the beloved choice of the masses in India for their devotional quotient and a direct appeal to the heart. A Video on my book “Adbhut Ramayan” is available on Youtube at following link: https://youtu.be/1nV5jGRUb8U Genre of Writing: Spiritualism, Scriptural Philosophies, Metaphysical, Religious, Devotional and Theological.

Kanak Bhavan Temple, Ayodhya, India

‘Kanak Bhavan’ was a Gilded Palace where Lord Ram and Mother Sita dwelt in Treta Yuga. In the beginning of Dwapar Yuga it was restored as a memorial for Lord Ram by Maharaja Kush, the Lord’s elder son. In the middle of Dwapar Yuga it was rebuilt by Maharaja Rishabha Deo. It was visited by Lord Krishna by the end of Dwapar Yuga. During Kali Yuga, it was first constructed by Maharaja Vikramaditya in Yudhisthira Era 2431, which was subsequently expanded and repaired by Maharaja Samudra Gupta in Vikram Samvat 444. Unfortunately, it was laid to ruin by S. Salarjung in Vikram Samvat 1084. The present magnificent ‘Kanak Bhavan Temple’ was built by Maharani Vrishbhan Kunwar, the royal consort of H.H. Maharaja Sawai Mahendra Sir Pratap Singh Ju Deo, G.C.S.I., G.C.I.E. of the Royal State of Orchha, and formally consecrated in Vikram Samvat 1948 (C.E. 1891), Vaisakha Sudi 6th, Guru Pushya Nakshatra. In the main Sanctum of the Temple there are 3 Pairs of idols of the Deities, Lord Ram and Mother Sita. The first Pair of Deities on the right-hand side, as viewed by the devotee, is the one that was consecrated by Maharani Vrishbhan Kunwar; the Pair on the left-hand side is the one that was installed in the ancient Temple constructed by Maharaja Vikramaditya; and the Pair on the step below is said to be the one that was consecrated by Lord Krishna during his visit to this holy place. This Temple is on a “must visit” list of all pilgrims who come to Ayodhya; in fact if one does not come to Kanak Bhavan Temple one feels that the trip has been in vain.

Ayodhya (अयोध्या), an ancient city of India, situated on the bank of river Sarayu, approx 600 km from New Delhi, India. It is one of the seven holy pilgrimage, the Sapta Puri, of Hinduism in India. According to the holy book Ramayana, Ayodhya was founded by Manu, the law-giver of the Hindus. For centuries it was the capital of the descendants of the Surya dynasty, of which Lord Rama was the most celebrated king. Ayodhya is also the birth place of five Tirthankars, including the first Tirthankar of Jainism, Shri Rishabh Dev. He is known as the father of Jain religion. Currently the city is famous for temples of Lord Rama and Lord Hanuman along with following fairs and festivals: Ram Navmi: thousands of devotees from all over the country visit the Ram Navami Mela to celebrate the birth of Lord Rama on the ninth day of the Navratri festival with fasting, music and feasting. One of the special attractions of this fair is the Ramlila act (depicting the life of Lord Ram) organised widely in the city Diwali: a festival of light, celebrated for the victory of Lord Rama over Ravana and his return to Ayodhya after 14 years of exile. It also symbolises the spiritual victory of light over darkness, good over evil and knowledge over ignorance. Shravan Jhula Mela: idols of Lord Rama, mother Sita and Lakshman are seated in jhulas (swings) and swung from tree branches at Mani Parvat. The deities are then brought back to the temple in a long procession. Parikramas: Ayodhya is perhaps the most noted place in the northern India where Parikramas / Circumambulation of temples is an integral part of devotional practice. The pilgrims could undertake 5 or 14 or 84 kosi parikrama.
