Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All the aspects should be considered while choosing the name. The name should be kept which is easy to pronounce as well as being meaningful. Sometimes a person keeps the old and traditional name of the child, but they should not forget that if their child is born in modern times, then the name given by you may not cause him to become a comic character in the future. At the same time, some people also believe that if we name our child after a famous person, then he will become famous like that person. So let us tell you that a person becomes greater by his actions and moves forward only because of his efforts. That is why always keep the name afterthought. In many places, you can guess the religion of the child by name. By the way, in present modern times, people do not give much preference to religion, etc. while naming. All they need for their child is just a catchy and easy name.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book entitled Encyclopaedia of Untouchables, Ancient, Medieval and Modern compiled in 2 volumes witnesses to the fact that how the Brahminical ideology used to behave with the poor people of the Father which is totally unbearable to a normal person, even though they used to clean the cities, latrines, skin of the dead animals which were owned by the Brahmans.

Download or read book Return From Heaven written by Carol Bowman and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2009-10-06 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What if you could see a loved one who has died, not in a future spiritual realm, but here and now, in this lifetime? It is possible, says Carol Bowman, author of Children’s Past Lives and a pioneer in reincarnation studies. Based on in-depth research and direct observation of very young children, she shows in this groundbreaking book how common it is for beloved relatives to reincarnate into the same family. Typical families share how their children -- some as young as two and still in diapers -- speak spontaneously of intimate details from the lives of a family member they never knew. These true stories shed new light on age-old questions of family relationships: Do we choose our parents? What relationships survive death? What happens to the soul after a miscarriage or abortion? Bowman offers hope for anyone who has lost a beloved relative and longs to be reunited again.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anyone who has ever been touched by the death of a friend or loved one will want to read this book. It can help you understand that death isn’t the end, it’s merely another step in life’s path. This book touches on a subject that is meaningful to all us, death and the afterlife. Read how a bicycle accident and near death experience changed the author's life along with her understanding of life and death. Out of this experience also came her job of escorting the dead to the afterlife. A job that she says, “…is filled with as much heartache as it is joy. It’s a job that has taught me a lot about compassion and love, but most of all, it has taught me that death isn’t the end of life.” The accident opened up a world that most us never see until we die; however, for her, it’s a world that she visits often while escorting departing souls to their new existence in the afterlife.
