This book delves into the similarities and uniqueness in the life of the two contemporary spiritual masters -- Sai Baba and Ramana Maharshi. The approach and teachings of the two masters may seem to differ for a casual observer, but when one studies the two no difference can be seen. The simplicity and universality of their messages creates a connection between them too. Above all, the love'' that they radiated to all living beings was remarkable. If these messages are realised by the devotees of both Sri Sai and Sri Ramana, the world will be a much better place to live in. This subject makes the book stand out. Being a passionate devotee of the two and a meticulous scholar, the author presents here his collection of editorials written over the past many years in Sai Sudha.

Do you today feel that praying to God is like a routine? Do you consider scriptures as merely a collection of writings? Do you connect to the God living in the scripture? You might be intelligent and savvy, but don''t you need God to explain the world around you and within you? This book comes from two like-minded professionals who felt the urge to share the profound things if God and the treasures of His grace. To this end, they referred to the eternal teachings of Bhagavad Gita. It''s a fact that all of us draw energy from the same God and finally we terminate with the same God. Abounding with God''s messages, each page reveals the truth that God wants us to apply on our own and ultimately reach him. With sincere and humble intentions, the authors beckon you to imbibe God''s word, which is not only spiritually energising but also intellectually gratifying.

The banking industry is now required to provide banking facilities to all the eligible citizens and financial inclusion is driven in that direction. Financial literacy is the need of the hour. The competency levels of bankers plays a significant role in spreading financial literacy. This book provides necessary tools for bankers to improve their competency level, not only in spreading financial literacy, but also in all areas of banker-customer relationships. Even though the banker-customer relationship is governed by numerous laws, the bond between the banker and customer is beyond them. The cases and case laws cited in the book provide an insight to the banker-how he should work within the framework of law and, at the same time, not dissatisfy the customer. The banker should be a friend, philosopher and guide to the customer. Deficiency of service is well explained in the book. This will be an eye opener to the banker and help to avoid deficiencies in banking services. The book also contains a chapter on "Guidelines for Customers" which will be helpful in customer education. Increased awareness of the customers leads to demanding better services. Failure to provide the desired level of services or deficiency in the services provided gives way to litigation. Banks spend a lot of time, energy and resources to defend themselves in cases filed by their customers. Hence, it is all the more necessary that banks equip themselves with updated knowledge of their customers'' rights and bankers'' obligations. The book has also covered, in detail decided cases in banking business, product by product. The book is written in a lucid style, which will be understood not only by the bankers and lawyers, but also by the customers.

God is omnipresent. He is an integral part of each speck, every being, living and non-living, in fact the entire creation. We, mortal beings, are not able to assimilate this indivisible, self-illuminative Divine form of the Lord as we are bound to a body. We only take as real what we can see, feel or touch, while the Lord God is an experience, a feel, love, lightthe very identity of each atom, that is, our awakened inner self. Human life has been assigned to us to discover and tread the path of salvation. This indeed is our true mission. To fructify the same, to wake us from the deep sleep of Maya, to make us tread the path of spirituality, God binds Himself to a body and appears on earth as an incarnation hence introducing us mortals to His omnipresence. The leelas performed by the incarnation of God, nurture humanity, show us our true face as human beings, introducing the soul within to the Super Soul. The hidden reality of this entire creation is concealed in these simple leelas, the so-called deeds of the incarnation, each word spoken by this Godly form. This book is a small effort to focus on some such deeper messages of the Lord. The task is entirely undertaken by the Lord Himself; this body is merely a means to obey and execute His commands.

This book introduces us to his life story which is equally as fascinating as that of other who make a political virtue of their humble origins. In Dr Choubey''s case, however, these humble origins have been transformed into the service of the nation in highly techno-managerial sector and in defence of the usually denigrated public sector that Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru had conceived as the bulwark of the nation''s industry and infrastructure. The "modern temples of India" were to be erected by the public sector. His systematic exposition of what he calls the "Untold Story" of our Public Sector Enterprises is, therefore, especially timely and, if taken seriously, could lead to that resurgence in PSEs which might yet pull us out of the current stagnation in manufacturing that is sucking into quicksand our hope of making our country prosperous and ensuring remunerative employment to the millions of young men and women who are joining the ranks of those seeking to contribute to the building of our modern nation. Even now, if this prescriptions are listed to, the public sector can re-emerge as a giant on its own, competing with the private sector and yet serving larger national goals than merely propping up the bottom-line of a balance sheet.

One of the most significant and helpful developments in the study of the subject of international relations and politics, in the period following World War II, has been the intensification of conscious and deliberate attempt to arrive at an understanding of international political reality through theoretical investigations. In an important way, the growing emphasis of this study in a conceptual framework has overshadowed the form of a diplomatic history of some major Western powers. Though it is widely realised that an orderly and comprehensive study of the relevant aspects of international relations and politics in a theoretical perspectives has not yet appeared, and it is also suspected that such endeavours may not have the desired success, yet a very large number of scholars, particularly in the United States, have been engaged in advanced academic pursuits so as to offer a plausible explanation of their involvement with the issues of why to theorise and how to theorise. The developments of the Post-Cold War era have stimulated the scholars of this discipline to revisit old concepts, re-evaluate traditional assumptions, and invent new strategies and paradigms for the sake of better and updated study of international relations and politics. This discipline now has a ''new agenda'' embracing a vast range of policy issues and covering a host of new themes such as security, order, freedom, equality, justice, welfare, etc., which ought to prevail in the new global political and economic order. It is all the more necessary in the present age of globalisation and liberalisation. The startling point is that the study of this discipline is now growing like a profoundly normative enterprise at the expense of realism that had dominated in the era of the Cold War. The author has taken note of all these developments and ventured to tread the path with a view to make the task of the readers easier and more interesting.

Amidst the vast sea of literature that exists on the diplomatic history of the world between the two World Wars, J.C. Johari''s book stands out as a remarkable piece of work. Reflecting through research and analysis, it has been revised and enlarged in order to include the history of the Middle East and the Far Eastern Countries like Japan and China. An account of the interwar period may be called a study of the diplomatic history of the major European powers. The major countries of the West were involved in various forms of commitments and negotiations. In a way, these efforts started the trend of "global negotiations", which the governments of the major countries practised in order to achieve their ends, not only during the times of war but also during the times of peace. It is hoped that this book will serve the requirements of students offering this course for graduate and post-graduate examinations as well as for competitive examinations.
