Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: T he material in this volume is culled from over two thousand stories about Maharajji gathered during five years from more than one hundred devotees. To these devotees who shared their treasured memo ries, I wish to express my deep love and appreciation. Some of them felt that no book could or should be written about a being with qualities as vast, formless, and subtle as Maharajji’s, and yet they contributed their stories nevertheless. I honor them for this kindness and I hope that in my zeal to share experiences of Maharajji with others who were not fortu nate enough to have met him, I have not misused their trust. Some devotees tell me that stories told by other devotees are not fac tually accurate. I have no way of ascertaining the authenticity of any single story. All I can report is that those o f us who gathered the stories were impressed by the credibility of those of us who told the stories. Though the responsibility for this manuscript lies solely with me, I am delighted to acknowledge a lot o f loving help from my friends:

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Baba Dunja is a Chernobyl returnee. Together with a motley bunch of former neighbours, they set off to create a new life for themselves in the radioactive no-man's land. Geiger counter and irradiated forest fruits be damned, there in that abandoned patch of Earth they have everything they need. Terminally ill Petrov passes the time reading love poems in his hammock; Marja takes up with 100-year-old Sidorow; Baba Dunja whiles away her days writing letters to her daughter... rural bliss reigns, until one day a stranger turns up in the village, and the small settlement faces annihilation once again. With her trade-mark wry humour Bronsky tells the story of a community that shouldn't exist, and of a very unusual woman who late in life finds her own version of paradise.

Its now a fathers turn to speak up, to show his daughter and maybe the world how and why they have an unbreakable bond, to show how this bond has been tested and pushed to its limits. This story is for every person, for every mum for every dad who has a child they love, its for every person who has a parent they love and cherish because this story will make you fall in love with how a father loves his daughter and how far he will go to make sure she is fine. Its a story to show the world, nothing can beat the love of your child and nothing should, its a story he hopes will change the thinking of many people one day.

Download or read book Baba and the Crew written by Bill Davis, Jr and published by . This book was released on 2020-07-16 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Baba and the Crew is a candid story of Bill Davis' challenges and triumphs as a single dad raising four children ages 3, 5, 7, and 9. Despite the naysayers who believed children belong with their mother, Bill demonstrates that love, compassion, and structure will produce well-rounded, socially conscious, responsible adults. Readers meet each member of the Crew and hear in their own words what it was like growing up in the strict, family-first, Davis household. With help from "the village," Sekou, Toussaint, Imani, and Naeemah are accomplished, socially-conscious adults, and continue to make Baba proud. "What makes Baba and the Crew special is that it dispels the myth of the absent Black father. It goes against the erroneous stereotypical notion that single-parent families, headed by Black fathers, can hold a family together." It shows the Black father has love, cares for, and has hopes and dreams for his family as much as any other culture." Bruce S. Morgan1st VP New Jersey State Conference NAACP "In our cultural climate of African American inequality, mass incarceration, and racism, Baba and The Crew is a great example to eradicate the myth of absentee or deadbeat African American fathers. Bill Davis has taken on his role as Baba, the Swahili term for father, with love, courage, and determination to raise and equip his children with the knowledge, compassion, and tools to thrive in society. Bill's story is one that needs to be highlighted more often in mass media." Dr. Randal Pinkett Chairman and CEO, BCT Partners and Co-author, Black Faces in White Places "In this revealing memoir, "Baba" Bill shares not only his parenthood journey, but he also demonstrates the extent to which childhood experiences, and the way we are parented, shape the way we decide to parent. Without rancor, recrimination, or braggadocio, Bill assesses, with great objectivity-and clarity, the generational parenting behaviors in his family he chose to emulate while rearing his own children. Bill did not elect single fatherhood, but when life dealt him those cards, he took up the "Baba" challenge with a loving, willing determination to do everything in his power to make sure he had a winning hand. While this memoir looks back at family history and moves forward toward the family's future, it is grounded solidly in the present lives of Baba and his Crew. This is not a parenting primer or "how-to" guide from an "expert" but rather an unflinchingly honest, self-effacing, and sometimes humorous, behind-the-scenes look at how this single father raised four children to be culturally centered, kind, aspirational, compassionate, critical thinking, self-reliant adults." Virginia DeBerry, NY Times Best-selling Author "I strongly endorse Prof. Bill Davis' book. He was my former undergraduate student at Rutgers College, and I had the great pleasure of calling him Bill "Black" Davis. He was a very good student and became an outstanding father and single parent to high achieving children. I remember seeing him, with his children, on the television show-Reading Rainbow, as he represented a strong role model as a Black father and single parent." Dr. Leonard L. Bethel, Professor Emeritus, Rutgers University, NJ "What always impressed me about Bill was his ability to advocate for others, and maintain his love and guidance for his five children. That balance is a role model for all single fathers." Ronald E. Bolandi Former Piscataway Twp. Superintendent of Schools "Bill Davis' story stands in stark contrast to the dominant narrative around black fathers. This book is an inspiration for all parents, and the advice that Brother Bill provides will help you raise your children to become strong adults." LeDerick Horne, Poet, Disability Activist

Download or read book Bhakthi And Health written by Dr. (Mrs.) Charanjit Ghooi and published by Sri Sathya Sai Sadhana Trust, Publications Division. This book was released on 2013-09-13 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Bhakthi And Health" is the second book by the author Dr. (Mrs.) Charanjit Ghooi, on the topic devotion and health; her first book being "Spirituality And Health". A synergy is brought between the two concepts to show how they can help a person lead a better and healthy life. Dr. Ghooi is a medical practitioner by profession and well qualified in the three systems of medicine – Homoeopathy, Allopathy, and Ayurveda. "Bhakthi And Health" projects an integrated account of human personality. It is not just an integrated view of medicines. A new concept of human personality, anatomy, and health is crystallised here. In these days, the therapeutic value of the ancient traditions of Yoga, Bhakthi, and Meditation is more and more realised and accepted. Dr. Ghooi adds a strong voice to this new trend. The base of her book is the various speeches of Bhagawan, painstakingly collected from the volumes of Sathya Sai Speaks, Summer Showers In Brindavan, Sanathana Sarathi, and Bhajans, but clothed in medical language. As the name suggests, the book is soaked in Bhakthi Bhava (feeling of Bhakthi). The author has herself put the concepts into practice in her life, thus enriching its value. For those, who are not exposed to the Indian tradition of Bhakthi and Spirituality, both Indian and Western readers, this book is a valuable handbook; for patients in distress, this may open up a new horizon.
Download or read book Sri Sathya Sai Baba written by Bill Aitken and published by Penguin Books India. This book was released on 2006-07 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Acclaimed travel writer and self-described 'spiritual nomad', Bill Aitken tells us why so many - royalty, wealthy industrialists, influential politicians, as well as the poor - flock to Puttaparthi. Sai Baba's message, he reveals, can be summed up in one word: love. It is as simple as it is profound, not unlike how his devotees see the Sai himself - the embodiment of deep spirituality wedded to simplicity, elegance and grace. Yet, the Sai phenomenon is less about producing vibhuti from thin air and more about modern-day miracles - miracles like free schools and universities, super-speciality hospitals which provide free treatment to all and revolutionary projects like the one which has brought drinking water to a million villagers in drought-prone Rayalseema. Aitken's study is neither a hagiographic exercise in myth-making nor a dry, objective account of the Sai's life. While never shy of expressing his deep love and reverence for Sai Baba, he squarely confronts the controversies and criticisms which inevitably dog those who claim acquaintance with the holy.
Download or read book Love Everyone written by Parvati Markus and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2015-11-10 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A celebration of one of the most influential spiritual leaders of our time: Neem Karoli Baba, the enlightened guru who inspired a generation of seekers—including Ram Dass, Daniel Goleman, and Larry Brilliant—on life-altering journeys that helped change the world. In 1967, Ram Dass returned to the West from India and spread the teachings of his mysterious guru, Neem Karoli Baba, better known as Maharajji. Ram Dass’s words about Maharajji’s life-affirming wisdom resonated with a youth culture that had grown disillusioned with the violence, civil discord, and crude materialism of modern civilization. Hundreds of Westerners traveled to India and experienced Maharajji’s extraordinary presence directly until his death in 1973. His simple directives—love everyone, feed everyone, and remember God—opened their hearts and awakened their souls. What these followers brought back to the West has since changed the landscape of everyday life. Meditation is now mainstream; yoga studios are in every town; and mindfulness is practiced in elementary schools and board-rooms everywhere, from Silicon Valley to Capitol Hill. A stirring piece of history, Love Everyone brings these stories to life, sharing for the first time the inspiring tales of the men and women who followed the siren call of the East to the foothills of the Himalayas, then returned to forever reshape the world. A compelling and inspiring tribute to Maharajji from the Western men and women who knew him best, Love Everyone is a profound teaching on the power of love, as lasting and transformative as the truth, wisdom, and bliss of Maharajji.
