Download or read book KAILASH- FAITH AND BEYOND written by DR JAGDISH KAUR and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2021-04-29 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The eternity meshes with time and the slightness and impermanence of mortality greet the intricacies of immortality at the holy Mount Kailash. From time immemorial, before the dawn of civilizations, the sacred mountain Kailash has been visited by the followers of many faiths and main religions of Asia including Hinduism, Jainism, Buddhism and Bon religion to seek answers to their perpetual spiritual quest and to unravel the prevailing mysteries. The interest in Mount Kailash goes beyond faith and repeated attempts have been made to unravel the mysteries attached to it using possible modalities. The Western explorers developed an interest in the Kailash region during the past few centuries leading to several expeditions to the area resulting in scientific research gaining momentum in the late 20th and 21st centuries to unravel various mysteries. The saga of Mount Kailash goes much beyond the faith and spiritual aspect associated with it for centuries and to date instills awe and inspiration among humanity to unravel the secrets, myths and understand the underlying science of the Kailash phenomenon.
Book Synopsis To Kailash and Beyond by : Eric Jan Verwey
Download or read book To Kailash and Beyond written by Eric Jan Verwey and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2009-01-13 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The novel 'To Kailash and Beyond' relates the journey of a young contemporary mystic and can be placed within the genre of religious fiction. Throughout the book one follows the mystic's development in first only Hinduism, and later also Judaism. Whereas the information offered about Hinduism clearly stems from the author's personal experience gained on many and extended trips to India, the knowledge that is passed on about Jewish mysticism is academic in nature. The author managed to combine these two personal fields of interest by introducing a hermit into the story. It is this hermit, steeped in kabbalah, who initiates the protagonist into the secrets of gematriah, the Jewish counterpart of numerology. Although the protagonist is essentially the same person throughout the entire book, a structural division can be made, dividing the novel into two, seemingly different, journeys. The first journey, with which the book opens, is a geographical journey through, mostly, Hindu India. The second journey, beginning with chapter three, is a textual journey through the books of the Hebrew Old Testament, and kabbalistic texts commenting on this Testament. The chapters narrating the two journeys loosely alternate. Their main connecting point is based on ten specific sentences, the origin of which is only made explicit in chapter sixteen, almost two-thirds into the book. The genesis of these ten sentences lies within the first journey, in the numerological implications as perceived by the protagonist while visiting Hindu temples. When one finds them again in the second journey, they are incorporated as specific passwords needed to cross from one world to the next. The reader finds themselves here in a setting reminiscent of the so-called 'throne mysticism', the oldest stage of Jewish mysticism, the followers of which travelled from throne world to throne world. In 'To Kailash and Beyond', these throne worlds are replaced by the ten sefirot (godly emanations), and the passwords by the original ten sentences. With the progress of the youth's journey in India and the parallel rise in the worlds of the sefirot, the reader experiences a sense of synthesis. To come to this culmination, the protagonist uses the highest truths as he found them in Hinduism and Judaism as tools with which to negate the dogmatic aspects of these two religions. He thus succeeds to come to a pure mystical experience untainted by exclusive theories or limiting paths. In order to aid readers inexperienced in and/or uninformed about either of the two main religions prevalent in the novel there are two main resources. At the beginning of the book there is a rudimentary introduction into Jewish letter mysticism. At the end one finds a glossary containing Hindi words and terminology. In general, throughout the book, the author has sought to develop the main ideas gradually and with many reformulations. All in all, 'To Kailash and Beyond' is a fascinating account of modern-day mysticism, addressing many aspects in an inter-religious adventure. Although some of the mathematical expositions might seem obscure at first, giving them extra attention will certainly add to one's reading of the novel and pay off when one has reached the grand finale. If all else fails, though, skipping these parts, the reader will still experience the thrill and wonder of the mystical journey and come out on the other side moved by it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Will we make it? That's the question Kavitha and her cousin, Pallu, ask themselves as they trek through Himalayan pine forests and unforgiving mountains in Nepal and Tibet. Their goal: to reach Mount Kailash and Lake Manasarovar. The two women walk to ancient monasteries, meditate on freezing slopes, dance on the foothills of Kailash, and confront death in the thin mountain air. In Kailash and Manasarovar, the holiest of Hindu and Buddhist sites, they struggle to reconcile their rationalist views with faith and the beloved myths of their upbringing.

Book Synopsis Beyond the Genre by : Stefano Calzati
Download or read book Beyond the Genre written by Stefano Calzati and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2018-11-26 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the cultural value of travel writing today? How is the genre affected by instant communication and digital technologies? This volume provides answers to these questions through adopting a transmedial perspective by comparing printed travel books and travel blogs. Notably, it explores how different editorial and medial choices impact on the cultural practices of travelling and writing. Methodologically, an ethnography is proposed via the discussion of a number of original interviews (collected over three years) with contemporary travel authors and bloggers, who journeyed around (and wrote about) China. These writers are from both the West (the UK, the USA, Italy, France, New Zealand) and China (Hong Kong and the Mainland). As such, the volume not only deconstructs the English-centredness and ethnocentrism that often affect travel writing as a genre, as well as many studies on it, but it also renews the academic debate on the politics behind the genre, connecting the texts with their spheres of production and reception. The study shows the interdependence between medial and literary features, on the one hand, and the ways of journeying and writing about the experience, which largely depend upon the biography of each writer, on the other.
