Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Dear Asha, why is this happening to me?” Sorrow and stress are universal, but difficult situations can also be opportunities—life trying to guide us toward greater happiness—if only we had the wisdom to follow it. To find the hidden blessings within the various situations in life, you need faith, trust . . . and sometimes, a wise friend to talk to. To many spiritual seekers, that person is author, Asha (Praver) Nayaswami—who through her counseling and lectures has helped thousands worldwide gain a deeper understanding of themselves and the spiritual path. Based on letters to questing souls, this book showcases the clarity, compassion, and inspiration of Asha—a disciple of Paramhansa Yogananda and a meditation teacher for over 40 years. Her responses will astound you with their universality. How to help others . . . How to see life as fair . . . How to be true to yourself. Here is an example of the practical wisdom in the pages of Ask Asha: “Every apple seed contains within it the potential to become a fruit-bearing tree. It doesn't happen all at once though. It may be tiresome for the seed first to be a sprout, then a twig, then a sapling—but it is the fastest, in fact the only way to become an apple tree. “So it is with the soul. Self-realization is our divine destiny, but we can't get there in one leap. Perhaps your repeated failure is not caused by lack of will power but from lack of patience—trying to reach the goal without first walking the path. “If you reach too far beyond your actual realization, inevitably you will collapse back—perhaps to a place lower than where you started, if you define yourself now by your failure. You may think you are compromising your ideals to aim lower, but in fact that may be the surest route to success. “Spiritual progress is both a science and an art. The science is comprised of the divine laws of the universe; the art is to know which to apply and when.”

Book excerpt: A Good Morning America Book Club Pick and New York Times Bestseller! From debut author Asha Lemmie, “a lovely, heartrending story about love and loss, prejudice and pain, and the sometimes dangerous, always durable ties that link a family together.” —Kristin Hannah, #1 New York Times–bestselling author of The Nightingale Kyoto, Japan, 1948. “Do not question. Do not fight. Do not resist.” Such is eight-year-old Noriko “Nori” Kamiza’s first lesson. She will not question why her mother abandoned her with only these final words. She will not fight her confinement to the attic of her grandparents’ imperial estate. And she will not resist the scalding chemical baths she receives daily to lighten her skin. The child of a married Japanese aristocrat and her African American GI lover, Nori is an outsider from birth. Her grandparents take her in, only to conceal her, fearful of a stain on the royal pedigree that they are desperate to uphold in a changing Japan. Obedient to a fault, Nori accepts her solitary life, despite her natural intellect and curiosity. But when chance brings her older half-brother, Akira, to the estate that is his inheritance and destiny, Nori finds in him an unlikely ally with whom she forms a powerful bond—a bond their formidable grandparents cannot allow and that will irrevocably change the lives they were always meant to lead. Because now that Nori has glimpsed a world in which perhaps there is a place for her after all, she is ready to fight to be a part of it—a battle that just might cost her everything. Spanning decades and continents, Fifty Words for Rain is a dazzling epic about the ties that bind, the ties that give you strength, and what it means to be free.

Download or read book My Daddy written by Yusuph Koni and published by Yusuph Koni. This book was released on 2021-08-18 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do fathers love their children more than the mothers do? Why or why not? Yusuph is Tanzania Congolese boy who born and grow in Tanzania with unaware of his mother's (Tecla) and father's (Joseph) love for him because of some complicated situation. As Yusuph grew up, he longed to live with his family but at the end he received bad news of Joseph's death. "I literally can't remember what was my dad looks like, or his voice, or anything about him but there are still some missing pieces of him deep down inside me that I brought into my countless dreams of him." Father will say they love their children just as much as their Mothers, but it looks different on the outside. He buried him in his mind, and transform almost every aspect of his live, he decided to pursue his new dream of not letting his children go through the life he went through. Yusuph and Samir were selected by the college to study abroad. Father tend to love their children in the way they perceive is the best but mother love their children in the way they can best perceive it. So, from children's perspective, the father's love may seem to be less than the mothers. Samir explore Yusuph's life situation to accomplish writing his own novel. "... He's committed to reading as many novels as he can, hoping that one day he'll find something to write about in his novel, but still, I wish I could tell my life story so he could write something..." THE BEGINNING OF NOVEL WITHIN A NOVEL. Later on Yusuph find out that, before Joseph death, he left special love message for him about his steps sister, Clementine who live in Drc Congo. It is very difficult for Yusuph to go meet his step sister because he want to spend most of his time with his girlfriend (Naomy) for his future family. As time goes by pain of loosing Joseph never leaves Yusuph. "The foot prints our loved ones leave on our souls are permanent. Never to be filled with another. Never forgotten. They live on in our memories and in our hearts." The importance of fatherhood extend beyond a provider. Keep that in mind. Yusuph couldn't deal with the future while he didn't clean all of his past memory. "Now we're all together and we can't shake hands... We can't kiss... Hugging each other is a test for us... Having sex is also a problem.... I don't think if we will get married... Bearing children is a dream..." Mother's love is mild while father's love is shape. They are different but neither is dispensable. Instead to go study abroad, he go to meet Clementine because she is the one who will restore all the love he had for Joseph without care if there a civil war. Yusuph's heart-beat, thump-thump -- His finger is taking up trigger-slack. He holds off as Justine (Rebel) continues to drag Clementine backward into the woods... So yeah, I think fathers love their children, but they way they express it can sometimes be misunderstood or undervalued.

In Artimé, Rohan and Queen Maiven join forces with Aaron, Florence, and the others to discover the truth of what happened to the twins.

Book excerpt: *** Promotion - returns to $4.99 on 7/28 *** "...will appeal not only to The Wheel of Time readers, but to anybody looking for a coming-of-age fantasy tale with likeable characters and strong worldbuilding." - Fantasy Faction It has been twenty years since the end of the war. The dictatorial Augurs - once thought of almost as gods - were overthrown and wiped out during the conflict, their much-feared powers mysteriously failing them. Those who had ruled under them, men and women with a lesser ability known as the Gift, avoided the Augurs' fate only by submitting themselves to the rebellion's Four Tenets. A representation of these laws is now written into the flesh of any who use the Gift, forcing those so marked into absolute obedience. As a student of the Gifted, Davian suffers the consequences of a war fought – and lost – before he was born. Despised by most beyond the school walls, he and those around him are all but prisoners as they attempt to learn control of the Gift. Worse, as Davian struggles with his lessons, he knows that there is further to fall if he cannot pass his final tests. But when Davian discovers he has the ability to wield the forbidden power of the Augurs, he sets into motion a chain of events that will change everything. To the north, an ancient enemy long thought defeated begins to stir. And to the west, a young man whose fate is intertwined with Davian’s wakes up in the forest, covered in blood and with no memory of who he is…

Yes, it is very fictional and relates to no one, but if it does, it is purely co-incidental. Many messages come through in this book, relating to today's society and times, which were never given a thought to before, and off course there are others also, relating to life, how we live it, and how we solve it, as if we were a puzzle.

Download or read book Hut to Caf An Exciting Journey written by P. Sarangi and published by Prowess Publishing. This book was released on 2024-05-27 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The title of the book ‘HUT TO CAFÉ’ (An Exciting Journey) speaks about some real-time events we face in our lives at different points of time. With changing times, we change our lifestyle under the pretext of circumstantial compulsion and keeping pace with the modern age. After acquiring a little education and wealth, some start feeling elevated and underestimate the illiterate and poor. Thus, a new class division is created – rich and poor. Birju’s ‘Hut Sadabahar’ is a roadside hay-roofed tea shop in a village. It serves tea and homemade nimki in backed clay cups and green-leaf bowls to the passersby. The Hut symbolizes a simple livelihood, healthy food and drinks in a hygienic environment, and the development of communication skills in the buyer-seller environment. Impressed by the clean environment, the excellent quality of Chahaa and Nimki and the humble behaviour of Birju, Bhola and Champakali, Keshava suggests some business skills. All three learn English in a short period. They only communicate with the visitors in Odia and pretend to be ignorant about any other language. Many customers, unaware of the service providers’ knowledge of English, share their feelings in English in the Hut. After business hours, the three sit to discuss their experience. Bhola records in his notebook and plans to write a book – ‘Voice from the Diary’. Adhering to ethics and honesty doesn’t always help prosper in business. Some strategic moves become necessary for survival. Birju’s prosperity causes heartburn in some businessmen. Dharam Das sets up ‘Quality Foods’ near Sadabahar, intending to divert the customers to his side. The stall provides better seating arrangements and attractive foods like pizza, biryani, sandwiches, chicken rolls, masala tea, and coffee. Banke (the village head) calls a meeting of the Gram Sabha. The villagers decide not to sell milk to outsiders; instead, they use it to sell sweets and other milk products in the town. The new stall needs to find someone from the village to work. It fails. Villagers start door-to-door campaigns highlighting the harmful effects of fast foods provided by the ‘Quality Foods’. Within months, the ‘Quality Foods’ moves out of the village. Time has changed, and so is our lifestyle. Birju sets up ‘Café Evergreen’ with an attractive environment and unique customer-friendly utilities. It has a beautiful combination of simple and modern appliances. The Cafe has a larger space with a tiled roof and the floor. Bushes cut to beautiful shapes, flower pots, and wooden round tables with curved, polished wooden planks for sitting give an attractive look. Limited items like chakuli, puri-alu dum, idli, vada, dosa, peda, chhena gajaa, coffee and chahaa are served in beautiful paper plates and cups. After paying in cash or through a QR code, customers pick up items from the service desk. Sometimes, similar circumstances bring strangers closer. Manju visits the Mahamaya temple. While moving down the stairs, she slips. A tangawala, waiting for passengers, picks her up and takes her to the hut where she lives. The tangawala asks her to raise her leg. Initially, she hesitates, but looking at his appealing face, she agrees. How strange is the situation! One needs help, and the other is ready to offer. The former can’t raise her leg; the latter has difficulty leaning. He asks Manju to lie flat on the bed, sits beside her, rubs some oil, and makes a mild message. She gets some relief. For the first time, Manju finds a stranger to care for her. Both are from an orphanage. At a later stage, a reunion of the family occurs. Manju finds her brother Bhola (the tangawala). Money is no bar to help people in need in distress. We must have a mindset to help others. Visitors sharing tea at Sadabahar get scared seeing a tigress approaching them. Champa tells them that she is Rani – her friend. It won’t harm them. Rani (The tigress) raises her wounded leg. Champa pulls the nail from the paw, crushes some marigold leaves and drops the juice on the injured foot. She bandages it and asks Rani to relax. Birju brings some milk and feeds the cubs. It is unbelievable, but it conveys that we must care for animals and other living beings.
