Nine books published by Paramdham Prakashan in English

Vinoba’s talks and writings are a treasure house of wisdom. His novel, original and insightful ideas are timeless. Many of his books were published in various Indian languages. However, not many of his books are now available in languages other than Hindi, Marathi and Gujarati. Moreover, only a few of his books are available in English, which has naturally affected the outreach of his ideas, particularly in this era of internet. Even in India, new generation, whether we like it or not, is studying through English medium. It is, therefore, imperative that the literature of one of the foremost thinkers in this age becomes available in English. Paramdham Prakashan has, therefore, published his nine books in English on different subjects so as to give in a nutshell an idea about his views thereon.

All Religions are Mine
This book encapsulates Vinoba’s thoughts on the essence of major religions in the world, viz Hindu dharma, Islam, Christianity, Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism and Zoroastrianism. It also probes how harmony could be established between them, and what a religion essentially means. In the present atmosphere, vitiated by communal discord, this book would prove to be of immense value. (p. 100, Price Rs. 70)
Our Spiritual tradition
India’s spiritual tradition is unique, not only because of its antiquity, but also because of the depth and range of spiritual practices and experiences. This book contains Vinoba’s insights about the Vedas, the Upanishads, Brahmasutra, Bhagavata etc. His comments on Ishavasya Upanishad throw a new light on this masterly work. (p. 100, Price Rs. 70)
Spirituality
Sense and Essence: Vinoba has absorbed the essence of most of the spiritual traditions in the world and has interpreted them in tune with the modern times. He not only believed that the science of spirituality should, and does, make progress like the natural sciences, but also made significant contribution towards such progress. This book encapsulates his vision and contribution. (p. 100, Price Rs. 70)
Reflections on the Gita
Sense and Essence: Vinoba has absorbed the essence of most of the spiritual traditions in the world and has interpreted them in tune with the modern times. He not only believed that the science of spirituality should, and does, make progress like the natural sciences, but also made significant contribution towards such progress. This book encapsulates his vision and contribution. (p. 100, Price Rs. 70)
Teaching of the Saints
Sense and Essence: Vinoba has absorbed the essence of most of the spiritual traditions in the world and has interpreted them in tune with the modern times.

This book encapsulates his vision and contribution. (p. 100, Price Rs. 70)
Strands of a Vision
This book strings together some strands of his vision - his concepts of Samyayoga and Sarvodaya, his views on the process of revolution, on organisation as the test of non-violence, on the goal of human life etc. Vinoba’s booklet on Rama-nama, a review of a compilation of Gandhi’s views on Rama-nama is also included herein. (p. 139, Price Rs. 100)
Gram-Swaraj
Vinoba’s concept of Gram-swaraj (village self-rule) through the revolutionary scheme of Gramdan, is one of his lasting contributions to the socio-political thought of mankind. It has rightly been hailed as ‘the most creative thought coming from the East’. This book encapsulates his ideas in this regard, which the perplexed world needs to revisit. (p. 100, Price Rs. 70)
Money is a demon, Laxmi is A Goddess
Vinoba’s contribution to spiritual, philosophical, political and educational thoughts is known to some extent, but his economic ideas are not well-known, although he initiated and led a novel social movement to give land to the poor and to arouse people’s power for total transformation of social, political as well as economic life of rural India. When predominant economic theories are leading humankind and the planet earth to catastrophes, Vinoba’s ideas need to be considered afresh. (p. 191, Price Rs. 120)

Total price of these nine books is Rs. 700 only. However, purchasers of the set can get it for Rs. 600 + Rs. 30 postage. Booksellers will get 30% commission.
