Jiva is a book category centered on the “living essence”—the individual soul or animating consciousness—drawing on the Sanskrit concept jīva. It gathers fiction and nonfiction that explore the inner journey, moral agency, and the cycles of life, death, and rebirth, often informed by Hindu, Jain, Buddhist, and yogic thought. Works may range from philosophical treatises, spiritual memoirs, and contemplative poetry to mythic retellings and speculative fiction that imagine consciousness across humans, animals, and the natural world. Common threads include karma and liberation, interdependence with nature, practices like meditation and yoga, and inquiries into what it means to be truly alive. The tone is reflective and transformative, inviting readers to engage both intellect and spirit.
