“The Dharma Videos of Lust” was first published to acclaim in 2005, and is now re-issued by UKA Press in a fully revised, unexpurgated edition. Based on Professor Chandola’s own life, the novel tells the story of Mohan Chaube, who leads a double life – as a Brahmin priest, and as a radical university professor. Professor Chaube sits down one day to watch a few racy videos sent to him in secret, and suddenly comes face to face with his own assumptions. In the often hilarious, sometimes tragic, personal stories in this book, he weaves through Hindu mysteries, myths, rituals, rites, and festivals which wallow in sex and violence, and exposes the dark side of a religion followed by over a billion people. ”The Hindu priest: the scholarly and human experience of such an individual has never been recorded in literature.” - Charles S.J. White, Professor Emeritus and Chair, Department of Philosophy and Religion, American University ‘The Dharma Videos of Lust’: “Religion-wise, philologically, and linguistically correct” and “A rare feat.” - Michael Witzel, The Wales Professor of Sanskrit and Indian Studies, Harvard University “Fascinating, satirical and erudite, Chandola’s novel touches on Hinduism, Sikhism, yoga, rationalism, religion, a woman’s right to choose… Each story a thread added to a shining whole of pleasure, betrayal, lust and pain. Generous, humorous and full of linguistic pleasures, Chandola brilliantly melds the myths of ancient religions with the mysteries of modern life, immersing us in an entirely new and hypnotic world.” - Ellen Tanner Marsh, Best Selling Author, New York Times ”While the author illustrates how rituals serve as the glue of human relationships and social values, he also narrates messy collisions of religious tradition with contemporary lifestyles … From Vedic cosmology to classical aesthetic theory… a fine reading in an introductory course on Indian Religions.” - David Swain, PhD, South Asian Languages and Civilizations, University of Chicago Anoop Chandola is available for all media interviews. chandola@email.arizona.edu UKA Press, Europe: andrea@ukauthors.com UKA Press, UK publicity: jolen.ukapress@ukauthors.com UKA Press, Japan: ukapress.editorial@gmail.com The Dharma Videos of Lust: ISBN 978-1-9057-9615-1 published by UKA Press, London, in August 2008 at £7.99 from www.ukapress.com ; at Barnes & Noble, Amazon, and other stores.

The Hindu intellectual response to the malicious Semitic attack on their dharmic ethos was stymied for the caste has always been the Achilles heel of their social chore. Hence, it is imperative to probe the Hindu social ills and delve into the Church’s religious ill-wills so as to bring the lopsided discourse onto an even keel. It may be noted that even as narō nārayana (man is but God) is the integral maxim of sanatana dharma, the Christian credo suffers no qualms about the inhuman slavery as averred in the Bible (1 Peter 2.18) – “Slaves, be subject to your masters with all reverence, not only to those who are good and equitable but also to those who are perverse” and such. Also, whereas Hinduism espouses the eclectic concept of ekam sadviprā bahudhā vadanti (what is right is One only, describe it wise variedly), the Church holds the narrow view that only faith in Jesus portends salvation and the choice against him results in eternal doom. That’s not all, while sanatana dharma postulates vasudhaiva kutumbakam (holds world all in one household) in the Christian scheme of things, all non-Semites are heathens; if anything Islam debunks all other faiths, Christianity included, and vilifies all non-Muslims, not exempting the Christians, as kafirs destined to eternally burn in the hell of a hell.

Yājñavalkya (Devanagari: याज्ञवल्क्य) of Videha (fl. c. 7th century BCE[3]) was a sage and philosopher of Vedic India. He was one of the first philosophers in recorded history, alongside Uddalaka Aruni.[4] In the court of King Janaka of Mithila, he was renowned for his expertise in Vedic ritual and his unrivaled talent in theological debate. He expounded a doctrine of neti neti to describe the universal Self or Ātman. He later became a wandering ascetic. His teachings are recorded in the Shatapatha Brahmana and the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad. [mehr]
