1.		The Complete Kama Sutra : The First Unabridged Modern Translation of the Classic Indian Text from Park Street Press Price: $19.77 Customer Review: I don't doubt that many people buy this work because of the Kama Sutra's racy reputation. Despite the fact that Danielou is not shy about translating issues of same-sex intercourse, seduction of other men's wives, and such, the overall work here is of immense historical value. First Dalielou... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


2.		The Myths and Gods of India: The Classic Work on Hindu Polytheism from the Princeton Bollingen Series (Princeton Bollingen) from Inner Traditions Price: $23.10 Customer Review: Not only a wonderful reference book, but also enjoyable just to read straight through. It covers myths and gods, philosphy, mantras, yantras, worship and rituals, and includes 32 pages of black-and-white photographs of Indian sculptures of the gods. It has an excellent 41-page index. The only reason... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


3.		Music and the Power of Sound: The Influence of Tuning and Interval on Consciousness from Inner Traditions Price: $16.47 Customer Review: Alain Daniélou is known first of all for his musical semantics based not on notes but on intervals, hence not on punctual sounds but on the articulation of one note onto another to form an interval and then on the articulation of intervals one upon another. In this book of articles and... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


4.		Shiva and the Primordial Tradition: From the Tantras to the Science of Dreams from Inner Traditions Price: $10.17 Customer Review: It is impossible to speak or write of Alain Danielou's works without saying something of the man himself, for the force of his personality infuses his work in a way that is the case with only a very few authors outside of fiction, and seen even more rarely in works of scholarship. Alain... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


5.		The Phallus: Sacred Symbol of Male Creative Power from Inner Traditions Price: $15.56 Customer Review: There is a lot of information packed into this 113 page book...and a LOT of pictures! Danielou provides a strong overview of the phallus as a symbol and an object of worship. The Phallus is well researched and chock full of interesting details and myths from around the world relating to the... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


6.		Yoga: Mastering the Secrets of Matter and the Universe from Inner Traditions Price: $11.53 Customer Review: Alain Daniélou (1907-1994) spent nearly two decades immersed in the traditional society of India. Using only the Sanskrit and Hindi languages he had mastered to fluency, he studied music, philosophy and yoga with eminent scholars and practitioners, ultimately becoming a professor at Benares... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


7.		Gods of Love and Ecstasy: The Traditions of Shiva and Dionysus from Inner Traditions Price: $12.71 Customer Review: Alain Daniélou's assessment of the dionysiac cults is somewhat naive. The Dionysaic cults are by no means just about free, ecstatic love and religious tolerance. As René Girard has shown, these cults are most of all about the sacrifice of an - innocent - scapecoat in order to regularly... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


8.		While the Gods Play: Shaiva Oracles and Predictions on the Cycles of History and the Destiny of Mankind from Inner Traditions Price: $14.21 Customer Review: This book is the most clearly written book on this ever so rare subject of true Shaivitism , its origins, why the decline of ancient traditions were abanoned by the masses...and all in all sheds light to concepts of time, cyles of man, in all religions. It all makes sense now. They are pretty much... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


9.	[no image]	Ragas of Northern Indian Music from South Asia Books Price: $29.95 Customer Review: I know of no other book (Nimbus' "Raga Guide" CD set with accompanying book comes close) that provides such a large amount of information on so many ragas in such a simple format. This book is not about heavy reading but rather a clear and concise presentation of all pertinent information regarding... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

The Hindu Temple: Deification of Eroticism from Inner Traditions Price: $22.45 Customer Review: this book should be called - introduction to hindu religion. most of the book deals with explanations how hindu religion connected to hindu temple.low quality pictures dont add anything.some two pages talk about eroticism.

11.		Virtue, Success, Pleasure, and Liberation: The Four Aims of Life in the Tradition of Ancient India from Inner Traditions Price: $14.95 Customer Review: This book is an explanation of the Hindu value system. Danielou is a very well-known musicologist and linguist who has published many important works explaining Indian music to Western audiences. In this book, he takes up the basic tenets of the Hindu religion and how they are played out in the... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


12.		Manimekhalai: The Dancer With the Magic Bowl from New Directions Publishing Corporation Price: $11.95 Customer Review: Though I found the book helpful for a research project I was doing last semester, the translation did not always seem to be literal. When compared with other translations of the Manimekalai, there seemed to be a lot of discontinuity. Having said that, this particular translation was the most... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

15.		A Brief History of India from Inner Traditions Price: $20.00 Customer Review: An honest attempt by author to provide glimpse of Indian History. But the book is lacking in one big respect 'MAPS', we have this book on Indian History which discusses Indian history upto 6000 years back but has only two maps in the whole books. If you are not from India and are not versed with... more info	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


16.		Shilappadikaram: (The Ankle Bracelet) from New Directions Price: $16.15 Customer Review: Prince Ilango Adigal wrote Shilappadikaram as an erotic verse romance trilogy novel. He also wrote it as moral values, marriage, religion, art, music, dance, caste, myth, intercultural behavior, politics, military tactics, and idiom instruction. Although written about 1,700 years ago, it has... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


17.		The Way to the Labyrinth: Memories of East and West from New Directions Publishing Corporation Price: $23.95 Customer Review: This is a truly fascinating memoir of the bygone days in France and India. Alain Danielou was a scholar without being an academician; a homosexual without being gay; a seeker into Hindu mysteries without being mystical. His dry sense of humor illuminates these pages, and his clarity of perception... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


18.	[no image]	Yoga: The Method of Re-Integration from University Book Publishers Customer Review: This was a very interesting little book. The first US edition was written in 1955. It has a very concise and easy to understand information on yoga. Throughout the book he keeps referring to using the specific yogic asanas, pranayamas and theories for "re-intergration". I found that a little unusual... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


19.	[no image]	Complete Kama Sutra the First Unabridged from Park Street Press Customer Review: This book should be included in every adult library! I bought this book from a book club and have been reading it, re-reading it and re-re-reading it for some time. It is a wonderful translation of the ancient texts: clear, consise and accurate. Once you read it, you'll agree: they sure knew what... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information
