Diving into the river of life teeming around her, including meetings with lepers, wounded monkeys, swamis, stalkers, pilgrims, shopkeepers, holy cows, and more, Krulikowski steps outside her beliefs of how things “should be,” trusting life and everything in it!

Download or read book The Ganges River written by Earle Rice and published by Mitchell Lane Publishers, Inc.. This book was released on 2012-09-30 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Ganges is India’s holiest river. But to millions of devoted Hindus, it is much more than just a river. It is also a goddess and a benevolent mother—Ganga Ma or Great Mother. To her devotees, bathing in “Mother Ganga” washes away all sin, drinking her waters heals all illness, and dying on her banks ensures deliverance from the cycle of death and rebirth. Or so they believe. Ganga Ma begins at the Gangotri Glacier in the Himalayas. Her waters plunge spectacularly out of the lofty mountains, meander lazily across India’s broad Gangetic Plain into Bangladesh, and finally spread out fan–like with a thousand watery fingers to empty into the Bay of Bengal. For more than 1,500 miles, the watery personification of the goddess Ganga sustains life in one of the world’s most densely populated regions, and charts a spiritual course to eternal contentment for most of India’s Hindu masses.

Book Synopsis Separated Emotions by : Dr. Pushpita Awasthi
Download or read book Separated Emotions written by Dr. Pushpita Awasthi and published by Diamond Pocket Books Pvt Ltd. This book was released on with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book narrated the lives of the Indian diaspora who for several generations have lived in foreign countries-(with special reference to the Netherlands and the Caribbean)-far from their ancestral homes in India. Whilst initially giving us a glimpse of the common man's life in India itself, they try to illustrate the dual existence of these families' who whilst trying to cling to some resemblance of their original culture have strayed further away as they slip deeper into the mire of a materialistic existence so far from the expectations of their ancestors, who came as bonded labours to work on the plantations of their masters. They also illustrate their interaction with their European counterparts whose lives, they try to emulate and adopt as they multi-task to live normal lives in foreign climes. They also reflect the changing lives of the Dutch people themselves in the ever growing global changes in thought and life style. "In Suriname often the days simmering with scorching heat get doused with the evening rains, but the clash between cold and hot temperatures lead Rohit to have catarrh. His voice became heavy and he can't breathe air in even after opening the mouth fully. Despite this, he had arranged a dinner on full moon night with Lalita at the Torarika hotel."- An excerpt.

Book excerpt: Who were the Asara Hunters? Where do the sons of the Sihori people come from, and why are the Green Fields called the Black Valley? Why has Crimson, the orphaned girl, wandered alone through the Known World since time immemorial? Could it all just be a legend? Or perhaps a true tale? Either way, one thing is certain; many still whisper about these peoples and their deeds across the world. Would you like to know their story? Then come, Traveler, make yourself comfortable, for it will be a long tale! The inhabitants of Pathway Forest are feverishly preparing for the upcoming Spring Festival. Star Reader Ganga has foretold the return of a long-forgotten son of an ancient people, and the camp’s cheerful residents eagerly await the mysterious stranger. Bazu, the leader of the Asara Hunters, recounts legends by the fire when the enigmatic wanderer arrives. Serpent’s sudden appearance disrupts the lives of the tribe and the people of the Known World at once. However, the joy of newfound friendship will be short-lived. Grim news spreads that in the west, beyond the Roaring River, a cruel tyrant is preparing to set the world ablaze. Serpent sets out to find his scattered friends among the peoples of the Known World. They must discover who their true enemy is and what his plans are. Along the way, they venture into the magical Shadowy Meadow, where they uncover secrets that may help them overcome the looming peril. In the Known World, only the Black Valley’s empire is strong enough to stand against the common enemy. But it can only triumph if it can rally its former allies: the Asara Hunters, the King of Castle Is, the Prince of Row, and the Twin Cities of Rikal and Makal, and Serpent. Yet there’s a problem; Serpent and the Black Valley are sworn enemies. Both have vowed blood vengeance against the other. Cover art by Ariel Petris, with translation assistance provided by ChatGPT

Book Synopsis KAMA : The Story of the Kama Sutra by : Misra, Jaya
Download or read book KAMA : The Story of the Kama Sutra written by Misra, Jaya and published by Om Books International. This book was released on 2018-05-05 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Who was Vatsyayana? What motivated this intriguing personality in the third century to compile ancient erotic texts, replete with his witty aphorisms, into the Kama Sutra, the ultimate treatise on love and the art of lovemaking? Kama is a fictionalised account of the life and times of Vatsyayana. Seemingly, a manual for the hedonist about town, the Kama Sutra reveals another tale—written in blood—of broken hearts, lyrical violence, ageless love, and unbridled lust! Set in 273 AD, in a land fraught with war and unrest, Kama is the story of a catastrophic day in a writer-artist’s life that sets him off on a journey unto himself, beyond the boundaries of love, family and betrayal. This fast-paced story of tragedy and triumph beguiles and captivates as it flits seamlessly between an agonising past, an erotic present and a cataclysmic future."

Download or read book All Passion Spent written by Zaheda Hina and published by Zubaan. This book was released on 2013-07-22 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the mid-nineties Birjees Dawar Ali returns to Pakistan to seek out a history left unfinished long ago, a history from which, nursing heartbreak and betrayal, she had once earlier fled, back to her home in partitioned India. Will she find the family that so generously gave her succour, the home that became her own, the people who gave her unquestioning love? Or will all these certainties have fled with the march of history? A deeply moving narrative of love and loss, All Passion Spent focuses on the unresolved question of the 1947 Partition of India and the emergence of India and Pakistan as two separate countries. Zaheda Hina’s richly layered narrative, brought alive in this lyrical and poetic translation by Neelam Husain, touches on the many unanswered questions that surround this painful history—the profound sense of grief and displacement, the lives sundered midstream, the lost friendships and the quest for new roots and lands under different skies.

Book Synopsis Flying Off Everest by : Dave Costello
Download or read book Flying Off Everest written by Dave Costello and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2014-05-06 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Perched impossibly on a ridge overlooking a 10,000-foot drop into Tibet, Sano Babu Sunuwar and Lakpa Tsheri Sherpa wait. Heel to toe, connected at the waist by a pair of carabineers that’s connected to nothing else, they stare down the North Face of Mount Everest, a red and white nylon tandem paragliding wing fluttering behind them. They know that jumping off the top of the world marks only the beginning of a longer, more audacious journey. And they know that the two-mile ride down Everest will be the easiest part. If the jump doesn’t kill them. In April 2011 the two unsponsored Nepalis set out on an unprecedented expedition to climb Everest, paraglide from its peak, and paddle nearly 400 miles to the ocean. Little problems wouldn’t stop them. Like the fact that Babu had no technical climbing experience. And that Lakpa had never been kayaking—or swimming. But after summiting, surviving their flight off the world’s tallest mountain, and being arrested, robbed, and nearly drowned—repeatedly—the two friends discovered their adventure had only just begun.
