Suddenly, he found himself scrounging for his very existence in the Deep South, stripped of his envied status and reputation, even his clothes. As he was forced to live life on the lam, hiding from everyone, his only hope was to make his way back home to collect the evidence that would prove his innocence and help him avoid a life of imprisonment.

Download or read book Infinite Paths to Infinite Reality written by Ayon Maharaj and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-10-08 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sri Ramakrishna is widely known as a nineteenth-century Indian mystic who affirmed the harmony of all religions on the basis of his richly varied spiritual experiences and eclectic religious practices, both Hindu and non-Hindu. In Infinite Paths to Infinite Reality, Ayon Maharaj argues that Sri Ramakrishna was also a sophisticated philosopher of great contemporary relevance. Through a careful study of Sri Ramakrishna's recorded oral teachings in the original Bengali, Maharaj reconstructs his philosophical positions and analyzes them from a cross-cultural perspective. Sri Ramakrishna's spiritual journey culminated in the exalted state of "vijñana," his term for the "intimate knowledge" of God as the Infinite Reality that is both personal and impersonal, with and without form, immanent in the universe and beyond it. This expansive spiritual standpoint of vijñana, Maharaj contends, opens up a new paradigm for addressing central issues in cross-cultural philosophy of religion, including divine infinitude, religious pluralism, mystical experience, and the problem of evil. Sri Ramakrishna's vijñana-based religious pluralism--when grasped in all its subtlety--proves to have major philosophical advantages over dominant Western models. Moreover, his mystical testimony and teachings not only cut across long-standing debates about the nature of mystical experience but also bolster recent defenses of its epistemic value. Maharaj further demonstrates that Sri Ramakrishna's unique response to the problem of evil resonates strongly with Western "soul-making" theodicies and contemporary theories of skeptical theism. A pioneering interdisciplinary study of one of India's most important philosopher-mystics, Maharaj's book is essential reading for scholars and students in philosophy of religion, theology, religious studies, and Hindu studies.

Download or read book Extremes of Crossed Paths written by Samuel N. Kariuki and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2016-05-16 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Extremes of Crossed Paths: Book 1 is a fiction based on true experience. Molo, a region in Rift Valley, Kenya, hived from the favor of God and handed over to the cruelty of extremely ungrateful and manipulative demagogues, saw the underhand authorities revel on bloodshed without regret. There was condemnation to generations comprised of the overly trusting innocent communities driven to wield weapons against one another without any idea what hit them. Communities with unlimited desires to scale the world to heights of civility called out for reason as their offspring bore the full consequences of unsuspected bitterness and cruelty harbored by individuals who were good neighbors but were bent on wiping the entire generations that believed in intercommunity coexistence. Such was the brutality that was meted to the most unsuspecting candidates of genocide. It came too close to wipe the region of Molo South off the map of Kenya. That which would thrive in the decimation of the noble cause and create unlimited despondency when the world watched without raising a finger to rescue. As the younger generation found solace in the USA, a land far away from home with stakes too high, they had to dig for the new environment, balancing pain and bitterness of their past, versus the new cultural order to achieve their dire need for resources to uplift families, yet that too couldnt turn the mixture of signals that were constantly indicative of a resumption of the earlier tribulation. And the extremes of their crossed paths resulted in only what they knew too wellmore anguish.

Elvis Babbitt has a head for the facts: she knows science proves yellow is the happiest color, she knows a healthy male giraffe weighs about 3,000 pounds, and she knows that the naked mole rat is the longest living rodent. She knows she should plan to grieve her mother, who has recently drowned while sleepwalking, for exactly eighteen months. But there are things Elvis doesn’t yet know—like how to keep her sister Lizzie from poisoning herself while sleep-eating or why her father has started wearing her mother's silk bathrobe around the house. Elvis investigates the strange circumstances of her mother's death and finds comfort, if not answers, in the people (and animals) of Freedom, Alabama. As hilarious a storyteller as she is heartbreakingly honest, Elvis is a truly original voice in this exploration of grief, family, and the endurance of humor after loss.
