This book was released on 2020-04-21 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work is concerned with time reckoning and perception in Old Norse culture. Based on an analysis of various prose and poetic works, the author reconstructs the native images of time, as well as their changes in relation to social development, namely the arrival of Christianity and feudalism to the North. The primary sources are divided into three groups. The first group comprises works that contain traces of the original domestic understanding of time, the „Poetic Edda“, „Snorri’s Edda“, legendary and family sagas. The second group includes different types of texts, all of which adopt foreign concepts of time that spread to Iceland especially through various learned treatises and the influence of the Church. Lastly, it is examined how foreign time reckoning and perception affected the temporal structure of kings’ and bishops’ sagas included in the third group of sources.

Download or read book A Fleeting Moment in My Country written by N. Malathy and published by SCB Distributors. This book was released on 2012-09-13 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Little is known about the Tamil liberation cause and struggle, as it has been widely dismissed by global powers of all persuasions-the USA, Russia, China and India-each driven by their own realpolitik concerns and self- interests. This book, written by a Diaspora Tamil engaged in human rights work in the Tamil-controlled area of Vanni up until it was overrun by Sri Lankan forces, provides a compelling insider’s look at the motivations, issues and complexities of this largely secret civil war; the entire text is based on first hand observation and includes sociological insights based on these first hand observations. Isolatd in their struggle and condemned by world opinion, the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Elam (LTTE) nonetheless proved capable of withstanding all external forces for a period of decades, drawing large numbers of Tamils, both inside Sri Lanka and outside in the Tamil Diaspora, to support tits cause. The LTTE created a progressive internal movement that succeeded in breaking down ancient caste barriers that had resisted the political inducements and leadership of figures such as Gandhi, and inculcated a climate of social justice and equality. This book describes what life was like on the ground inside Tamil- controlled territory where the forces of war were held at bay-what the author has referred to in the title of this book as "The Fleeting Moment...". What followed was a process of the destruction of everything that she described when it was overrun by the Sri Lankan army and the Tamil genocide began.

Download or read book The Song of Silence written by Deep Suri and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2024-04-25 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seeing and experiencing the world as it is is freedom and peace in itself, but the spiritual seeker who seeks the answer to life’s biggest mystery, "Who is the experiencer of the I," must aspire, through self-contemplation, to find an articulate, all-embracing answer to the true meaning and significance of the concepts of “freedom” and “peace.” What is their true power. Can freedom and peace be internalized through the intellect, or is true, genuine freedom and peace an experience and a state in itself, a state where true and false do not configure, a state where opposites cannot force their entry, an unshakable point in the emptiness, in the empty space. In the empty inner and outer space, united and undivided, where silence and awareness merge in an ... By embracing silence in an atmosphere of absolute presence, where the limitations of language fade away and the all-pervading power of silence fills the space surrounding the human body, communication will occur without effort. This eternal, ever-present silence is the universal language for all beings that enter this universe. Observing each other in silence is to transcend the world of conclusions, where outwardly, two different entities with their own perceptions of the world, limited by nationality, culture, and religion, merge into one entity that communicates through the timeless language of silence. The most profound discovery we can make on this stage of life is that there is no “I,” that our existence is merely a mental projection playing out in the mind, through the stormy sea of learned concepts and ideas.
