Book excerpt: In "the very best book about Hindu mythology that anyone has ever written" (The New Republic) Calasso plunges Western readers into the mind of ancient India. He begins with a mystery: Why is the most important god in the Rg Veda, the oldest of India's sacred texts, known by a secret name—"Ka," or Who? What ensues is not an explanation, but an unveiling. Here are the stories of the creation of mind and matter; of the origin of Death, of the first sexual union and the first parricide. We learn why Siva must carry his father's skull, why snakes have forked tongues, and why, as part of a certain sacrifice, the king's wife must copulate with a dead horse. A tour de force of scholarship and seduction, Ka is irresistible.

Book Synopsis Introduction to the Ka Method by : Arnaud Segla
Download or read book Introduction to the Ka Method written by Arnaud Segla and published by The Wisemen Council. This book was released on 2017-11-24 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: INTRODUCTION The Ka Method is designed to habilitate the ethnic entrepreneur and the entrepreneur in the informal economy to better fight, and not just failing to cope with emergencies, in a globalized economy. It draws its essence from the traditional forms of expression related to animism. Economic actors can learn thus from their own spirituality to develop strategies, tactics and actions to run their business. The method offers an alternative to the pitfalls due to the difficulty of assimilating concepts from economic models of thinking away from the cultural realities of their own. In an article on www.afriqueexpansion.com, Vitraulle Mboungou remembers that Africa is full of many informal jobs. In the first decade of the 2000s, this sector provided 72 % of jobs in sub-Saharan Africa and was responsible for more than 93 % of new jobs created, compared to the per formance of the formal sector which employs only about 10 % of potential workers on the continent. Many Africans actually live in this economy that is especially prevalent among the poorer classes (professional or casual workers in employment expectations), in sectors such as fishing, small trade, handicrafts, etc. This is very often trades for survival. Today, many African states backed by the African Union, seeking to integrate these workers into the formal economy with the aim of enabling them, among others, to enjoy the benefits of social protection and to make supports growth and economic and social development across the continent. The traditional and one-dimensional purpose of a business in the classical market economy is to maximize profits and create value. A new approach may be to consider each business and ethnic enterprise as a human entity whose ultimate goal is the fulfillment through the activities they have chosen to practice. This generates fiscal and accounting activities considered by investors. This also involves achieving multidimensional economic, ethical, social, environmental and even spiritual goals. Such companies are born as humans with a dream, a destiny or a vision whose mission is eventually to take into account all aspects of future development of the activity initiated. This model is particularly suited to ethnic entrepreneurship and the informal economy that imply individual companies but it can also serve as an alternative or adaptive model for the business engaging in social and environmental responsibility.
Book Synopsis THE KA-BAR KNIFE COMBAT MANUAL by : James Loriega
Download or read book THE KA-BAR KNIFE COMBAT MANUAL written by James Loriega and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2020-04-02 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States Marine Corps does not have this manual-or any manual on the combat use of the Ka-Bar knife. This, however, is not because they lack a structured knife combat method for training new recruits, or because the method is in any way secret or classified. They have a structured method, and it's not secret or classified. They just don't teach from a manual! Why? Simply because Marine Combat Instructors have their knife combat method internalized. They can teach it in their sleep, they can use the knife without even waking up-and they want Marine recruits to know this method in the same manner. Not to learn it-to internalize it. To own it! Because they won't have a manual with them when they need this knowledge to save their lives. Learn what they already know!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: INTRODUCTION At the request of my fellow Consultants of The Wisemen Council, and in order to refresh my own ideas on a battle that I am fighting on a broad front to the point of forgetting certain aspects, I decided to write this monograph to give a global presentation of what the Ka Method is. Of course, it was not a question of repeating the content already created, but of making a sort of short glossary of the main book in order to explain the main points with the help of the Spirit. It is a form of synthesis review before the beginning of the phase of this project which aims at anchoring the Vision in Reality. I deliver it to you without much filter so that you can take the measure of the challenge as I live it daily.

Book excerpt: “Ka is a beautiful, often dreamlike late masterpiece.” —Los Angeles Times “One of our country’s absolutely finest novelists.” —Peter Straub, New York Times bestselling author of Interior Darkness and Ghost Story From award-winning author John Crowley comes an exquisite fantasy novel about a man who tells the story of a crow named Dar Oakley and his impossible lives and deaths in the land of Ka. A Crow alone is no Crow. Dar Oakley—the first Crow in all of history with a name of his own—was born two thousand years ago. When a man learns his language, Dar finally gets the chance to tell his story. He begins his tale as a young man, and how he went down to the human underworld and got hold of the immortality meant for humans, long before Julius Caesar came into the Celtic lands; how he sailed West to America with the Irish monks searching for the Paradise of the Saints; and how he continuously went down into the land of the dead and returned. Through his adventures in Ka, the realm of Crows, and around the world, he found secrets that could change the humans’ entire way of life—and now may be the time to finally reveal them.

Book excerpt: “Moving . . . Readers will nod their heads in sympathy with this guy who breaks the rules for all of the right reasons.” —The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books A Bank Street College of Education Best Book of the Year Indiana Too Good to Miss State Reading List 2018 Timothy is on probation. It’s a strange word—something that happens to other kids, to delinquents, not to kids like him. And yet, he is under house arrest for the next year. He must check in weekly with a probation officer and a therapist, and keep a journal for an entire year. And mostly, he has to stay out of trouble. But when he must take drastic measures to help his struggling family, staying out of trouble proves more difficult than Timothy ever thought it would be. By turns touching and funny, and always original, House Arrest is a middle grade novel in verse about one boy’s path to redemption as he navigates life with a sick brother, a grieving mother, and one tough probation officer. “This gripping novel in verse evokes a wide variety of emotional responses, as it is serious and funny, thrilling and touching, sweet and snarky.” —School Library Journal “Touches of humor lighten the mood, and Holt’s firsthand knowledge of the subject adds depth to this poignant drama without overwhelming it.” —Publishers Weekly “Readers . . . will appreciate Holt’s lessons of compassion and family above all.” —Booklist “House Arrest will hit home with young boys and girls, especially if they have ever dealt with an ill relative. The story is touching, warm, and impressive.” —Kid Lit Reviews

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Islam and the Glorious Ka'abah presents a unique guide that provides the background information about Islam since the time of Prophet Ibrahim (peace be upon him). It begins at the time when he came to Makkah and left his wife, Hajar, and his baby son, Ismael. Years later he journeys back to Makkah to meet his son who by then has grown up to be a young man, and built with him the Ka'aba, which became the center-point for the Muslims around the world and it provides the direction for their prayers and worshipping Allah in a unified way. Author Sayed / Farouq M. Al-Huseini offers a wide range of information about the religion of Islam, its teachings and fundamental beliefs, and the worshipping acts of its believers. He explains the holy book of Islam, the Qur'an, explaining how its revelations began and what it contains. Additionally, the text includes a summary of the life of the prophet of Islam, Mohammad (peace be upon him), from his birth and early years through his receiving of the revelations and, ultimately, his prophethood. It also covers his propagation of Islam in Makkah and migration to Al Madinah, where the cradle of Islam was established. Most importantly, this guide explores his personality, his sayings, and his deeds, which have been changing the world for fourteen centuries.
Book Synopsis The Ka of Gifford Hillary by : Dennis Wheatley
Download or read book The Ka of Gifford Hillary written by Dennis Wheatley and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2013-12-23 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I am in prison awaiting trial for the murder of my wife's lover... My version of what occurred is so utterly fantastic that it is certain to be taken as an attempt by me to show that I am mad. But the doctors have already agreed that I am sane; so for myself I see no escape from the gallows. Nevertheless, I swear by Almighty God that all I am about to dictate into a recording machine is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. With Sir Gifford Hillary and Wing Commander Johnny Norton involved in plans to counter the might of Soviet Russia, interest soon centres on the evil Lady Ankaret and the tragedy which occurred at Longshot Hall, South Hampshire, on the night of the 9th September. A victim is struck down, and from that moment onwards the events which follow seem, at first, fantastic and unbelievable–but are later realised to be entirely logical. What does happen after death? And why should Sir Gifford find himself in prison, on trial for his life?
