In this book, "The Incredible Temple and Sanatan Sanskriti "author has endeavoured to focus on the Hindu temples of Karnataka, Tamil Nādu, Kerala & Odisha. They are amongst the most ancient, architectural, archaeological and heritage temples. These are eminently known for huge statutes, Mandapas, Towering super structures, Gopuram etc. They all Glorify Hindu Culture and scriptures viz. Puranas, Itihas, Vedas etc. The stories given there are vividly captured on more than life size carvings made from sandstone, soapstone, granite etc. One is awe struck how our ancestors created such masterpieces, with now considered, primitive tools and implements. This book is a tribute to our great forefathers who through their skills, dedication and pains taking labour over the centuries created such poetry in stone.

In the first part of the book, I have given brief descriptions of 108 famous Hindu temples in Maharashtra. Like Tamil Nadu, we have a lot of temples for Shiva, Vishnu and Goddesses there. Four of the 12 Jyotirlinga Shrines attract millions of people every year. Like Sabarimalai in Kerala, lakhs of devotees walk to Pandharpur every year. In addition to the temples, Samadhis of holy saints like Shirdi Baba, Tukram, Jnandev, Samartha Ramdas and others are worshipped by millions. Like the divine Tamil hymns Tevaram, Tiruvasagam and Divya Prabandham, Marathi Abhangs are in thousands. They are household songs in Maharashtra.

?I am impressed, ?Maha Rashtra? couldn't have been exemplified more enticingly. You?ve sprung a ?winner?. Just an appraisal transports you into the realms of nature and emits a blissful oneness with its beauty and wonder so much so that one is enthralled enough to envisage traversing through the rugged terrain and reveling in the rich heritage our beloved Maharashtra has been endowed with. Thank you Milind, for giving us the opportunity to share your romance with nature. You have my blessings and kudos!? Amitabh Bachchan ?I must admire the wonderful effort put in by well known personality Milind Gunaji in putting together this praiseworthy venture in the form of a travel guide. Maharashtra is the state I belong to and hold very close to my heart. It has always been my desire to explore it in greater detail and visit all the places which lend to its heritage. However due to my various work commitments, this desire of mine has remained largely unfulfilled. However through this book I will find the opportunity of fulfilling this desire at least through its pages which have been put together by Milind. I applaud him for his very detailed work for which he has found time despite having a busy career. Indeed there could be no better gift that he could have given his home state, our beloved Maharashtra. My congratulations to Milind and the entire team behind the release of this book.? Lata Mangeshkar "Milind has sprung one more surprise on me. I knew him as an actor, then learnt about his photography, now about his writing which is of a very distinct quality. Poets collect images of nature in words and verses, painters do it with paints on canvas, but Milind has done a unique collection of landscapes and historical spots of Maharashtra.To share it with wanderers of poetic temperament he has noted down the routes and characteristics of each spot. The book in itself is a unique tour for the tourist." Gulzar, Poet and lyricist "I have known Milind as an actor, indeed as an extrodinarily sincere and intense one. I also knew about his trips to unknown destinations in remote parts of Maharashtra. He also has a fine eye for visuals reflected in his photographs. Milind Gunaji is truly the wandering spirit of Maharashtra ." Govind Nihalani, Film Director "Milind Gunaji is an excellent actor. And we are dear friends bonded by our love for nature. I roam the jungles photographing wild animals. But Milind goes off the beaten track and gives us an altogether new picture of a state that the famous Marathi poet Ram Ganesh Gadkari (Govindagraj) described as a land of rugged landscapes and pious associations. He is verily an ambassador for Maharashtra tourism." Uddhav Thackeray, Executive President, Shiv Sena "The more I travel all over the world, the more I realize how unique India truly is. Offbeat Trails in Maharashtra by Milind Gunaj documents this diversity which is India's greatest strength. His keen eye as a photographer unravels the mystery and the splendour of Maharashtra." Shabana Azmi, Actress and activist "I feel overall this is a very interesting book, very well compiled.? Jagdish Maali, Film maker and photographer

This book offers one of the first critical evaluations and in-depth analysis of the intellectual movement in Maharashtra in the 19th century. Arguing against the prevalent view that Indian rationality was imported from Europe through the colonial agency, it traces the rational roots of the movement to indigenous intellectual traditions and history. It also questions the centrality assigned to the ‘Bengal Renaissance’ as being the representative of the contemporary intellectual movement in the country. Strongly grounded in primary research, this volume brings forth many new facts and facets into the scholarly discourse on topics such as the idea of ‘Drain’ and the rise of Indian nationalism, so far seen as a predominantly political process divorced from its cultural dimensions. It re-examines the view that cultural consciousness that preceded political agitation was a separate sphere of activity and suggests that both were integral stages of anti-colonialism in the country. The author maintains that rationalism and nationalism were closely connected as a means-and-end continuum. He also provides a new and substantially different understanding of the 19th-century intellectuals Mahatma Jotirao Phule and Pandita Ramabai among others. Lucid, accessible and thought provoking, this book will interest scholars and researchers of modern Indian history, Indian political thought, sociology, philosophy and Marathi literature.
