Nel seno interiore della mia coscienza ho seminato i semi divini della Tua bontà. Giorno e notte li ho curati; ma quando stavano già spuntando le loro tenere foglioline, il sole cocente dei miei desideri e il vento dei miei pensieri inquieti del passato e del futuro hanno bruciato le loro foglie e disperso la Tua opera in me. Ma non mi arrenderò, seminerò ancora e ancora nel terreno segreto della mia coscienza, finché il Tuo amore non porterà frutto in me, che mi ci voglia una vita o una catena infinita di vite, non desisterò. Continuerò a seminare le Tue benedizioni nel cuore della mia coscienza, finché non troverò il luogo sacro dove il calore dei miei desideri e la voracità dei miei pensieri non potranno più calpestare o contaminare. Continuerò a seminare i Tuoi semi di bontà all'interno della mia fede, e quando non ci sarà più posto nel campo finito della mia coscienza individuale che non sia saturo del frutto del Tuo amore, allora, in silenzio, quando tutti dormono, continuerò a seminare i Tuoi semi di benedizione nelle menti di tutti gli altri Tuoi figli. Così, quando il campo della coscienza sarà traboccante del frutto del Tuo amore, realizzeremo che Tu sei il nostro unico vero Sé eterno e insondabilmente beato.

In den inneren Schoß meines Gewissens habe ich die göttliche Saat deiner Güte gesät. Tag und Nacht pflegte ich sie; aber als sie schon ihre zarten Blätter trieben, verbrannte die sengende Sonne meiner Begierden und der Wind meiner ruhelosen Gedanken an die Vergangenheit und an die Zukunft ihre Blätter und zerstreute Dein Werk in mir. Aber ich werde nicht aufgeben, ich werde immer wieder in den geheimen Boden meines Gewissens säen, bis Deine Liebe in mir Früchte trägt, ob es nun ein Leben lang dauert oder eine unendliche Kette von Leben, ich werde nicht aufgeben. Ich werde fortfahren, Deinen Segen in das Herz meines Gewissens zu säen, bis ich den heiligen Ort gefunden habe, den die Hitze meiner Begierden und die Unersättlichkeit meiner Gedanken nicht mehr betreten oder verunreinigen können. Ich werde fortfahren, Deinen Samen der Güte in meinen Glauben zu säen, und wenn es in dem endlichen Feld meines individuellen Bewusstseins keinen Platz mehr gibt, der nicht mit der Frucht Deiner Liebe gesättigt ist, dann werde ich in der Stille, wenn alle schlafen, fortfahren, Deinen Samen des Segens in den Geist aller Deiner anderen Kinder zu säen. So werden wir, wenn das Feld des Bewusstseins mit der Frucht Deiner Liebe überfließt, erkennen, dass Du unser einziges wirkliches, ewiges und unergründlich glückseliges Selbst bist.

In the inner bosom of my conscience, I sowed the divine seeds of Your goodness. Day and night I tended them; but when they were already sprouting their tender leaves, the scorching sun of my desires and the wind of my restless thoughts of the past and of the future burned their leaves and scattered Your work in me. But, I will not give up, I will sow again and again in the secret soil of my conscience, until Your love bears fruit in me, whether it takes me a lifetime or an infinite chain of lifetimes, I will not give up. I will continue to sow Your blessings in the heart of my conscience, until I find the sacred place where the heat of my desires and the voracity of my thoughts can no longer tread or desecrate. I will continue to sow Your seeds of goodness within my faith and, when there is no room left in the finite field of my individual consciousness that is not saturated with the fruit of Your love, then, in silence, when all sleep, I will continue to sow Your seeds of blessing in the minds of all Your other children. Thus, when the field of consciousness is overflowing with the fruit of Your love, we will realize that You are our only real Eternal and unfathomably blissful Self.

The Gumbaz Sepulcher, settled in the core of Srirangapatna, remains as a structural demonstration of the glory and social extravagance of Tipu Ruler's reign in the late eighteenth 100 years. This overwhelming construction, otherwise called the Sepulcher of Tipu King, fills in as the last resting place for Tipu Ruler, his dad Hyder Ali, and his mom Fatima Begum. The Gumbaz is a huge milestone that not just recognizes the existences of these verifiable figures yet in addition typifies the social union that characterized Tipu King's standard.Built somewhere in the range of 1782 and 1784, the Gumbaz Tomb is described by its huge vault, striking curves, and an extensive supplication lobby. The focal vault, which rules the construction, is an engineering wonder and a sign of approval for Islamic plan impacts. The vault, alongside the four minarets that encompass it, makes an outwardly striking outline against the background of Srirangapatna's scene. The design flawlessly mixes Islamic and Indian styles, reflecting Tipu Ruler's vision of a realm that embraced social variety.As one methodologies the Gumbaz, the unpredictably cut wooden entryways and nitty gritty calligraphy on the outside walls act as a challenge to investigate the social and creative lavishness inside. The inside of the catacomb is decorated with resplendent points of support and sensitive mathematical examples, displaying the craftsmanship of the craftsmans of that time. The request corridor, with its open format and a focal mihrab showing the heading of Mecca, mirrors the useful yet stylishly satisfying plan that characterizes Islamic design.What makes the Gumbaz Tomb considerably more convincing is the quiet atmosphere that envelopes the complex. The very much kept up with garden encompassing the sepulcher adds to the quietness, offering guests a serene retreat to consider the verifiable meaning of the site. The cadenced reverberations of supplications and a periodic stir of leaves make an environment that transports guests back in time, giving a brief look into the social and otherworldly components of Tipu King's heritage.Past its structural and social importance, the Gumbaz Sepulcher holds a profound verifiable reverberation. It fills in as a representative sign of the turbulent times during the Old English Mysore Wars and a definitive penance made by Tipu Ruler with regards to his realm. The catacomb, lodging the human remaining parts of Tipu King, Hyder Ali, and Fatima Begum, turns into a consecrated space that interfaces guests to the verifiable stories of opposition and versatility against provincial powers.The Gumbaz Catacomb, while a demonstration of Tipu Ruler's social support, likewise remains as a site of journey for those looking to give proper respect to the Tiger of Mysore. The yearly recognition of Tipu Jayanti frequently sees guests from assorted foundations merging at the sepulcher to respect the tradition of this verifiable figure. The Gumbaz turns into a point of convergence for functions, widespread developments, and conversations that further add to the continuous exchange about Tipu Ruler's persevering through influence on the district.

Und alles nur, weil ihr das mit der Glühbirne passiert war. Mari strich dem Nachbarsjungen das blonde Haar aus dem Gesicht: Da war das bunt schimmernde Stirnband. Alles deutete darauf hin, dass sie beide es tatsächlich waren: Die Key-Tas. Wirklich? Sie, die junge Allgäuerin mit dem chaotischen Leben und der Leo vom Bauernhof nebenan. Sollten sie tatsächlich die neun Stufen meistern und damit wieder das Gleichgewicht auf diesem Planeten herstellen können? Zweifelnd blickte sie zu dem tibetischen Mönch und der peruanischen Frau, die ihr gegenüberstanden. Sie wirkten so optimistisch und überzeugt. Dann sah sie zu Leo. Dieser nickte ihr freundlich zu, als ob es das Einfachste der Welt wäre, nun die Orte der Initiationen zu suchen. Würden sie die Aufgaben wirklich meistern können? Und was, wenn nicht? Mari fuhr sich nachdenklich über die Stirn. In ihrem Bauch fühlte sie ein klares Ja, doch ihr Kopf rebellierte. Sie beschloss, ihrem starken Gefühl zu folgen, und nickte. Es war ihr Weg, jetzt diese Abenteuerreise anzutreten. Beyond Munay Ki - es gibt immer einen Weg und die Reise beginnt jetzt.

If the mind is total silence, it is muffled, if the mind is muffled the ego is absent, if the ego is absent there is unity with what one is, if there is unity with what one is, there is deep experience with what is real and essential. To meditate deeply is to continually practice the vow of abstention from evil and union with good; it is a constant process because evil or mental illusion reproduces itself, simultaneously both internally and externally. Evil is the mental self subjected to the triple illusion of hatred, selfishness and falsehood, associated with the ego's insatiable desire for power, money and sex. When this desire is cut off, the ego dissolves and does not interfere with the nature of the soul, thus free from the false self. The inattention of the mental self is taken advantage of by the reproduction of evil to enter internally and force its permanence. If you meditate for light, you make a double effort, on the one hand you turn off all light in your inner room, on the other hand you call upon a stranger to give you a light which is not your own or to enter your personal room to turn on for you the very light which you have previously decided to turn off.

This collection of the writings of Daniel O'Connor, edited and introduced by David Jasper, is a treasure trove for all interested in the Church in India in the twentieth century.

Yogi Mettàtron adds another 4 Noble Truths, thus totaling 8 Noble Truths on the Path. These allow the interaction of the inner force of the Self with the outer nature, including all other beings, perfecting the art of compassion. By the 5th Noble Truth it states that according to the place and time that each human consciousness occupies upon the world, it is its responsibility and power, to prevent the greatest evil from becoming present upon the planet or to allow the greatest good to become present. It defines that every bullet that is fired and kills is possible, because we all souls on the world unconsciously accept it at the same time. A single soul, totally united with God and with perfect love for all, through faith and sincere prayer, can divert and avert a natural catastrophe and even a war. By the 6th Noble Truth it indicates that when there is balance within, opposites rest. This means that when there is perfect equilibrium within, outwardly there is no contradiction or tension between the opposites, harmony dominates over all nature. Duality is subdued. Peace and goodness abound.

A dazzling novel—set in early 1970's New York and rural India—the story of a turbulent, unlikely romance, a harrowing account of the lasting horrors of World War II, and a searing examination of one man's search for forgiveness and acceptance.“Looks deeply at the echoes and overlaps among art, resistance, love, and history ... an impressive debut.” —Meg Wolitzer, best-selling author of The Female PersuasionNew York City, 1972. Jaryk Smith, a survivor of the Warsaw Ghetto, and Lucy Gardner, a southerner, newly arrived in the city, are in the first bloom of love when they receive word that Jaryk's oldest friend has died under mysterious circumstances in a rural village in eastern India. Travelling there alone to collect his friend's ashes, Jaryk soon finds himself enmeshed in the chaos of local politics and efforts to stage a play in protest against the government—the same play that he performed as a child in Warsaw as an act of resistance against the Nazis. Torn between the survivor's guilt he has carried for decades and his feelings for Lucy (who, unbeknownst to him, is pregnant with his child), Jaryk must decide how to honor both the past and the present, and how to accept a happiness he is not sure he deserves. An unforgettable love story, a provocative exploration of the role of art in times of political upheaval, and a deeply moving reminder of the power of the past to shape the present, A Play for the End of the World is a remarkable debut from an exciting new voice in fiction.

The Order that exists in the Totality of relative existence is recreated from instant to instant by a frothy form of Cosmic Unified Consciousness through a constant flow of quantum information. It is what allows atomic sub-particles to flicker through quantum tunnelling, creating uncertainty while maintaining universal coherence. This scale of consciousness has existed since the origin of the cosmos and is the closest thing to our preconception of God. Everything is information and energy, it is what separates us from chaos. It is the software of Creation, a Fifth Force that makes the other four possible: gravity, electromagnetism, electroweak force and electro-strong force. So God, in this physical aspect, or this Quantum Unified Field Consciousness, is an essence of physical and not immaterial existence. So it is always possible to make intelligent contact with it. The very life known on Earth developed its potential consciousness from this form of Cosmic Proto-Mind. The human brain possesses the capacity to communicate, interact and expand on the scale of this universal consciousness.

If we increase the charge of our inner prana, our meditations will be much more intense, and it will be easier for us to enter into the state of emptiness and silence of mind, where it is possible to attract God's blessing and dialogue with Him. Our prayers will contain the same thoughts and words, but they will be recharged with energy and will penetrate space and time and obtain the desired response. Our bodies are nourished by food, water, air and the sun, but it is through the medulla oblongata or "mouth of God" that it receives directly the cosmic energy which is distributed through the subtle channels or nadis throughout the body. Through concentration, breathing, willpower, tension and relaxation it is possible to conduct the prana to the various parts of the body and learn to accumulate it there to recharge those cells.

Does physical education as a social motor purpose correspond to what we understand today as leisure and free time? Over time, educational, industrial and hospital establishments, among other sectors, both public and private, have given Physical Education the meaning of leisure and free time. They have given Physical Education an important place in society, so that nowadays the subject that some years ago was the "filler" in the educational classrooms nowadays brings with it a culture that is lived, sweated and felt as fitness. For this reason, it is now evident in different spaces that the subject in sports clothes is teaching and making known the importance of physical activity in our social body. Now, understanding physical education as a concept of training, discipline and performance is what occupies us and leads us to write these lines.

A critical analysis of marriage law in India from the late nineteenth to early twentieth century

This is a story of one family, but it could just as well be the story of any family. A story with beginnings in different countries, in separate times, narrated by three generations. It moves through three significant historical events, the despair of the 1930s in Germany; the 1940s civil unrest in Ceylon; and the stifling fear of the 1970s in India. It is a story of the demands of class and caste, education and politics, wealth, and status in the lives of all people. It is symbolic of the pain and grief that all humans endure; the disruption they experience when their best laid plans go awry. But crucially, the innate goodness that lies entrenched in the human heart, causing it to rise above petty prejudices.

The body is composed of matter, there is no doubt about that. But as to consciousness, what is its essence: energy, spirit? What we can establish is that consciousness can only be conscious of itself through a physical body, whereas the physical body, if it lacks consciousness, is totally inert. The characteristic of consciousness is that it is latent in all that exists, it is universal, impersonal, all-pervading. The Whole is consciousness and we are part of that ocean. We can infer that when the body dies the individual consciousness is submerged in the universal consciousness. That "I" prior to consciousness is unconditioned, timeless, atemporal, aerospatial, not conscious of Being (because there is no other). What One Is, is always permanent, eternal, unique. What we seek we already are, we only need to understand it in order to realise it. It is about transferring our identity from the physical body to the Infinite, from processing as a transient wave to an absolute wave. Dialogues around the world between Yogi Mettàtron and sincere seekers of truth, through the religion and Buddhism chat rooms and Yahoo Messenger during the years 2002 and 2004.

Eleven essays offering insights and new departures in the study of Naga society in Nagaland, Northeast India today.

Mettàtron was born in Puerto Belgrano (Argentina), in a middle class family, with the name of Roberto Guillermo F. Gomes. Since he was a child he listened to the Om and perceived the spiritual eye in the ajna chakra. During his adolescence, at the age of 16, he had a decisive moment for his later spiritual life. He went with some high school friends to see the movie "Brother Sun, Sister Moon" by Franco Zeffirelli and at the very moment when the actor who played the role of St. Francis of Assisi had the vision of God, Yogi's mind went into samadhi. Leaving the theater in a trance-like state, he was drawn to the shore and went to the tip of a breakwater. There his "third eye" spontaneously opened and the night was illuminated. He saw trillions of beings occupying the firmament and all in chorus were saying "Lord of Heaven, save us!". Then he wondered to whom they were speaking thus, and as he thought this his attention was seized by a divine force from on High. Suddenly he knew that he was in front of the Creator, he saw before him a source of intense light, unbearable to see from the front. Surprisingly, he heard a deep and sweet voice that said to him, "Son, you are Spirit".
