Many years ago, circa 600 BCE, a scientific treatise was written. The Grammar of the Sanskrit Language was crisply described by Panini. Sutras that were like code and a sort of computer program covered the entire Vykarana in less than 4000 statements. In the beginning of the code was an amazing tool-kit consisting of 14 lines, that came to be known as the Maheshwar Sutras. Just as we have advanced chemical equations or mathematical formulae, so are these Maheshwar Sutras, also called the Shiva Sutras. These Sutras are a special rearrangement of the Sanskrit Alphabet to cluster letters having some definite quality that can be used in WORD construction. There are two primary objectives achieved a) to define Arrays-of-Equivalence-of-Letters, and b) to introduce the concept of Meta Tags. Sound is an attribute of SPACE and the science behind sounds that construe the Alphabet is what it is all about. Certainly for the Scholar or a Pundit, an absolute treat.

Panini's Ashtadhyayi represents the first attempt in the history of the world to describe and analyse the components of a language on scientific lines. It has not only been universally acclaimed as the first and foremost specimen of Descriptive Grammar but has also been the chief source of inspiration for the linguist engaged in describing languages of different regions. To understand Sanskrit language, and especially that part of it which embodies the highest aspirations of ancient Aryan people, viz., the Brahmanas, Samhitas, Upanisads, it is absolutely necessary to have a complete knowledge of the grammar elaborated by Panini. Being a masterpiece of reasoning and artistic arrangement its study is bound to cultivate intellectual powers. Western scholars have described it as a wonderful specimen or a notable manifestation of Indian intelligence. This book is an English translation of Ashtadhyayi in two volumes and has won a unique position in the world of scholarship.

Siva Sutras are considered to be a revealed book of Yoga: the supreme identity of the individual self with the Divine. Here an English translation of the Siva Sutras has been provided, together with an abstract of each sutra, which throws a flood of light on the entire system of Saiva Yoga. A glossary of technical terms and index are appended for the convenience of the reader. Four commentaries on Siva Sutras are available at present, the Vimarsini commentary of Ksemaraja in prose, the Siva-sutra-vrtti by some anonymous author in prose, the Siva-sutra-varttikam by Varadaraja in verse. The Siva-Sutra-vrtti is so close to Vimarsini that it appears to be either a preliminary draft or a later abstract of the Vimarsini. There is a strong presumption that the author of the Vrtti was Ksemaraja himself. For more information, please head to www.mlbd.co.in
