We appreciate this opportunity to share the complex role we play in unifying the Heart-Mind of God with the Heart-Minds of human beings.” “These great beings (the Sirians) envisioned the progression of human evolution, and very meticulously configured the matrix of Gaia's Twenty Rays of Christ Consciousness. Each ray represents one important aspect of the development of the compassionate, heart awakened, loving, kind human being.” “The kindest beings in our universe now live on Earth. This is the planet where people are given the opportunity to deepen into service to those less fortunate."Heso, a Pygmy Right Whale, Speaks“The truth is that each human's purpose is one that the Great Creator designed just for that person. Great Creator knew that the person would contribute to the library of knowledge about what it takes to be compassionate." Blega, a Humpback Whale, Speaks…"The cetacean nation's impact has been silently permeating consciousness forever and ever. There is so much for you to learn about your cetacean co-creators of heart centered living."

Download or read book Golconde written by Pankaj Vir Gupta and published by Actar D, Inc.. This book was released on 2021-10-13 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Golconde is an astonishing architectural accomplishment. With technical finesse and extraordinary craft, it offers a living testament to the original modernist credo - architecture as the manifest union of technology, aesthetics, and social reform. Here exists an undiluted view of a wholly triumphant tropical Modernism, built during the tumultuous years of the second world war. If ever there was a time when the notion of sanctuary, of a place in the world at a safe remove from its tribulations needed to be manifest, then this certainly is that year. Enforced isolations, mediated encounters, and filtered interfaces have become the norm. An unseen adversary has unmasked our frailty, weaponizing our own breath, making an enemy even of that essential human construct – shared space. The seeking of spatial solace has been a human preoccupation for much of our existence. Golconde is one such exemplar of calm. Created during another tumultuous time of human suffering – at the onset of the second World War - this building continues to offer succor to its residents, even from this latest upheaval. Mira Nakashima, George Nakashima’s daughter, contributes with a new 800 word introduction essay for this new edition.

Download or read book Agastya written by Dr. T. V. Satyanarayana and published by Bharatha Samskruthi Prakashana. This book was released on 2019-03-02 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Agasthya was one of the greatest Maharshis and was born with Mahavishnu’s blessings. He was a great devotee of Lord Sankara and Lord Shanmukha. He installed a number of Shivalingas and was the first sage to visit the southern part of India. Lord Brahma asked Vasishta to return to the world to resume the good work. Thus, two Maharshis were born through Mithra and Varuna, Agasthya being the first and Vasishta following him. Agasthya knew the secrets of the Vedas at birth and was an expert in the use of weapons. Two demons, Ilvala and Vatapi, were the scourge of several Brahmins. Agasthya saw through Ilvala’s devilish plans and simply put an end to Vatapi by digesting him! Seeing his pithrus hanging head downwards from a big tree because he was not still a gruhastha, he agreed to get married so that they could reach heaven. Agasthya was able to swallow the water of an entire sea so that Kaleyas, the demons who hid at the bottom of the sea, could be got rid of. He could convince the Vindhyas to stop growing, something which no one could even believe, let alone achieve. It is because of Agasthya that Nahusha turned into a huge python, thus saving Sachi Devi from marrying him even while her husband was alive. Agasthya was so powerful that he alone was able to stop the tilt of the Himalayan Mountain Range. All the guests had assembled at the southern part of the range making it heavy on one side – this was when they came to witness Lord Siva’s marriage to Parvathi. Lord Siva himself asked Agasthya to go to the south and stop the tilt. In fact, as the sage was disappointed, the Lord bestowed on him the divine power to witness the celestial marriage from his position in the south. On the advice of Agasthya, Lord Rama chanted the hymn,’Adithya Hridaya’ in order to kill Ravana and then performed Aswamedha yaga for the welfare of the world. Agasthya’s curse was so powerful that he did not spare Kubera, the Lord of Wealth. Kubera had ignored when his friend, Mahiman, had spat on the sage’s head from the sky. Again, king Indradyumna was able to reach the lotus feet of Lord Narayana because of the sage’s curse. The sage was known to assume Devendra’s role for the sake of protecting people on earth. Agasthya’s contribution to Tamil is invaluable. He is worshipped in many temples in Tamil Nadu. Sri Lalitha Sahasranamam is a gift to us from the sage in addition to a number of scholars whom the sage gave to the world. Our other books here can be searched using #BharathaSamskruthiPrakashana

Download or read book A Writer s People written by V. S. Naipaul and published by Vintage Canada. This book was released on 2011-12-14 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his first book of non-fiction since 2003, V.S. Naipaul gives us an eloquent, candid, wide-ranging narrative that delves into the sometimes inadvertent process of creative and intellectual assimilation. Born in Trinidad of Indian descent, a resident of England for his entire adult life, and a prodigious traveller, Nobel Laureate V. S. Naipaul has always faced the challenges of “fitting one civilisation to another.” In A Writer’s People, he discusses the writers to whom he was exposed early on, Derek Walcott, Flaubert and his own father among them; how Anthony Powell and Francis Wyndham influenced his first encounters with literary culture; what we have retained–and forgotten–of the world portrayed in Caesar’s The Gallic War and Virgil’s Aeneid; how the writings of Gandhi, Nehru and other Indian writers both reveal and conceal the authors and their nation. And he brings the same scrutiny to bear on his own life: his years in Trinidad; the gaps in his family history; the “private India” kept alive through story, ritual, religion and culture; his ever-evolving reaction to the more complicated and demanding true India he would encounter for the first time when he was thirty. Part meditation, part remembrance, as elegant as it is revelatory, A Writer’s People allows us privileged insight–full of incident, humour and feeling–into the mind of one of our greatest writers. “He brings to non-fiction an extraordinary capacity for making art out of lucid thought. . . . I can no longer imagine the world without Naipaul’s writing.” Los Angeles Times Book Review

Download or read book Hindu Selves in a Modern World written by Maya Warrier and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2004-11-10 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores devotional Hinduism in a modern context of high consumerism and revolutionised communications. It focuses on a fast-growing and high-profile contemporary Hindu guru faith originating in India and attracting a transnational following. The organisation is led by a vastly popular female guru, Mata Amritanandamayi, whom devotees worship as an avatar and a healer of the ills of the contemporary world. By drawing upon multi-sited ethnographic fieldwork among the mata's primarily urban, educated 'middle class' Indian devotees, the author provides crucial insights into new trends in popular Hinduism in a post-colonial and rapidly modernising Indian setting.

Book excerpt: Ezekiel ex-preacher and Vietnam vet struggles to overcome the post- traumatic effects of war. Seeking to find a meaning to his life, he becomes a disciple of a charismatic spiritual master but abandons him to find peace and spiritual enlightenment alone. In doing this, he also abandons his wife and son both of whom love him dearly. Since this love can be a distraction in Ezekiel's quest, he rejects their love ... a love which he must eventually come to terms with. Years pass. Ezekiel's son sets out to find him in order to reunite his parents. He traces Ezekiel to an ocean front residence in Florida. Ezekiel has found some peace here, and the encounter with his son only threatens to tear him away from the quest he so ardently seeks. Finally, Ezekiel must confront the daunting truth about his quest - a quest in which there are valuable lessons to be learned through suffering and self-sacrifice. Aubrey Wharton was born in Guyana, South America, and moved to New York in l968. He attended City and Hunter Colleges and earned degrees in both the arts and science. His degree in English with emphasis on creative writing allowed him to write several plays, most notably "A Different Lifestyle" and "Vietnam Blues," which were produced off-Broadway (l988). When not writing, Aubrey uses his degree in science to work as a Registered Nurse RN. An avid practitioner of yoga, he became a disciple of A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, a renowned teacher of the science of Bhakti Yoga, and traveled to India several times for long periods in order to deepen his consciousness in this science. It is his practice of meditation which has influenced his present novel, "Ezekiel by the Sea."
