Download or read book Psalms of Love written by Antony Theodore and published by Kohinoor Books. This book was released on 2021-03-25 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Psalms constitute the largest book of the Holy Bible. Originally composed as uplifting soulful prayers set to melodious instrumental music, psalms now serve more as daily spiritual guidance for righteous conduct. Antony Theodore’s latest book contains two hundred of his select poems based on holy Christian teachings contained in the Book of Psalms. The poems also make several references to Vedas, Upanishad, Gita, Quran and other ancient scriptures of world religions. The poems are arranged in eight interwoven parts covering Songs of the Wild, Song of the Mystic, Laments of Heart, Paeans of Love, Soul’s Songs, Prayer Talks, Songs of Silence and Hymns of God. The topics range from conjugal love to the secrets of dreams, meditation and telepathy. The book provides a penetrative new interpretation of the universal truths underlying Christ's sermons and the inspired songs of David and Solomon. It shows that the spiritual messages contained in the Holy Gospel are essentially the same as those expounded in scriptures of all world religions. The One Truth has been expressed differently through Veda, Bible, Gita and Quran. The book has been edited by the poet and translator Dr Tapan Kumar Pradhan, who has written its introduction in addition to providing detailed commentary on the poems. Dr Tapan has also brought to light amazing similarities between the Book of Psalms and the ancient Indian scripture Sama Veda in his scholarly analysis of the history of psalms. The book makes a startling revelation about the extraordinary connection between Antony Theodore and the mystic Kashmir poet scholar Hemangi Sharma. Dr Tapan has hinted at a definite past life relationship with Hemangi Sharma / Antony Theodore.

Download or read book No Presents Please written by Jayant Kaikini and published by Catapult. This book was released on 2020-07-28 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For readers of Jhumpa Lahiri and Rohinton Mistry, as well as Lorrie Moore and George Saunders, here are stories on the pathos and comedy of small–town migrants struggling to build a life in the big city, with the dream world of Bollywood never far away. Jayant Kaikini’s gaze takes in the people in the corners of Mumbai—a bus driver who, denied vacation time, steals the bus to travel home; a slum dweller who catches cats and sells them for pharmaceutical testing; a father at his wit’s end who takes his mischievous son to a reform institution. In this metropolis, those who seek find epiphanies in dark movie theaters, the jostle of local trains, and even in roadside keychains and lost thermos flasks. Here, in the shade of an unfinished overpass, a factory–worker and her boyfriend browse wedding invitations bearing wealthy couples’ affectations—”no presents please”—and look once more at what they own. Translated from the Kannada by Tejaswini Niranjana, these resonant stories, recently awarded the DSC Prize for South Asian Literature, take us to photo framers, flower markets, and Irani cafes, revealing a city trading in fantasies while its strivers, eating once a day and sleeping ten to a room, hold secret ambitions close.

Download or read book Tamil written by David Shulman and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2016-09-26 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spoken by eighty million people in South Asia and a diaspora that stretches across the globe, Tamil is one of the great world languages, and one of the few ancient languages that survives as a mother tongue for so many speakers. David Shulman presents a comprehensive cultural history of Tamil—language, literature, and civilization—emphasizing how Tamil speakers and poets have understood the unique features of their language over its long history. Impetuous, musical, whimsical, in constant flux, Tamil is a living entity, and this is its biography. Two stories animate Shulman’s narrative. The first concerns the evolution of Tamil’s distinctive modes of speaking, thinking, and singing. The second describes Tamil’s major expressive themes, the stunning poems of love and war known as Sangam poetry, and Tamil’s influence as a shaping force within Hinduism. Shulman tracks Tamil from its earliest traces at the end of the first millennium BCE through the classical period, 850 to 1200 CE, when Tamil-speaking rulers held sway over southern India, and into late-medieval and modern times, including the deeply contentious politics that overshadow Tamil today. Tamil is more than a language, Shulman says. It is a body of knowledge, much of it intrinsic to an ancient culture and sensibility. “Tamil” can mean both “knowing how to love”—in the manner of classical love poetry—and “being a civilized person.” It is thus a kind of grammar, not merely of the language in its spoken and written forms but of the creative potential of its speakers.
