Midnights with the Mystic

Author: Cheryl Simone
Publisher: Hampton Roads Publishing
ISBN: 1612831133
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 286

Book Description
“With the elegance of simplicity, this book takes you on an exploration of consciousness that will shift you to a higher reality.” —Deepak Chopra, New York Times–bestselling author of The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success Constructed around a series of late-night conversations around a campfire between Cheryl Simone and Sadhguru Vasudev on an island in the middle of a Western North Carolina lake near her mountain home, Midnights with the Mystic is the most thorough exposition of the teachings of India’s most sought-after mystic. Sadhguru challenges us to embrace the possibility that to each of us is available a higher realm of reality, a peak of consciousness—an entrée into the realm of freedom and bliss. Simone, an Atlanta real estate developer, was the typical baby boomer in search of an authentic spiritual experience. Professionally successful, yet spiritually arid, she discovered a way into what she was looking for in the teachings of Sadhguru. Concrete and down-to-earth, Midnights with the Mystic provides both an introduction to profound spiritual teaching and a personal glimpse of a charismatic guru. “If you read this powerful book, you will discover who you really are, who we all are.” —Neale Donald Walsch, author of Conversations with God

Precious Threads and Precarious Lives

Author: Amit Kumar
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1000594556
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 154

Book Description
This book studies the hitherto unexplored history of the shawl and silk industries of the himalyan state of Jammu and Kashmir, India. It focuses on the three processes – production, circulation, and consumption – of the textile industry of the region to highlight its socio-economic and political importance in 19th- and 20th-century Kashmir. Using the micro-history approach, it studies the sites of production – the home looms or the small karkhana – efficiency of labour, and innovations by weavers in their techniques to suit the demands of the market. It also locates the impact colonialism had on transforming the labour economy in the Kashmir textile industry. Further, it compares these karkhanas with the Scottish factories or home looms to illuminate many sites of difference and comparison between the working styles and technologies. Mapping a history as complex as the weave on the finest Kashmiri shawl, this book brings to life the interface between culture, commodity, and colonial networks. It will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of South Asian history, colonial and imperial history, cultural studies, and economic and labour history.

Jyotish (Vedic Astrology)

Author: Wing Commander Santosh Sharmaa
Publisher: Notion Press
ISBN: 194832136X
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 207

Book Description
This is the world’s first astrological (Vedic Jyotish) book which is based on scientific evaluation and validation. The interpretations are based on rationale and logic. Your and other people’s robotic behavior stems from a pre-programmed chip, which is embedded in your mystic glands inside the brain. This chip controls the inherent behavior of a person. The information about this coded chip is available in your kundali (astrological chart). Shani (Saturn): a new revolutionary understanding Shani is like a GPS with an in-built navigation system. A retrograde (R) or debilitated (D) Shani is like a GPS, which is malfunctioning. Obviously, you land up at wrong places, at wrong timings, thus wasting your life’s energy reaching nowhere. This creates frustration, sadness, depression, and mental agony. Self-pity makes you wail in a well of despair, you wallowing, “my fate!”
