This book documents the journey taken by Vladimir Sis and Josef Vanis, who travelled to Tibet from 1953 - 1955 while making a film. The archival photographs and stills capture the Tibetan landscape, people, customs, dress, monastery architecture, temples and palaces providing a unique vision of Tibet in the 1950's, a vision of a cultural heritage that is no longer in existence after systematically being wiped out.

Focusing on a collection of mystical songs known as Caryagiti, this study offers a thorough analysis of their significance in India's spiritual and literary landscape. Originally published in 1916 by Hariprasad Sastri, these songs have often been misunderstood. This revised edition sheds light on previously unclear aspects, enhancing understanding of their structure and content. The songs are presented in greytone to differentiate them from the accompanying critical commentary, making this edition a valuable resource for scholars and enthusiasts alike.
