This book invites us to reflection and inner self-knowledge of oneself, to not be so identified with compulsive thoughts and tricks of the ego that in its long march in principle is our worst enemy. It is theoretical and practical in some specific points with meditation exercises, in some moments it will seem somewhat repetitive, but I think it is the way that the concepts and ideas of this book are impregnated in the subconscious, it can in some people lead to criticism and can also transform, each person from his innermost BEING seeks somehow the truth, peace, mood, inner contentment, shared joy and many more states that come from the deep BEING, when the mind is in a state of deep calm the so-called state of no-mind. It comes from somewhere or nowhere, that state called the state of BEING.

It is a book that deals with the multiplicity and complexity that exists in the human mind, its mechanical processes of the ego, making a brief passage from the origin of the Universe, through history, physics and science in general, evolution of the human race.Entering into historical characters that marked an era. It is theoretical and practical in some specific points.It will leave an impression or indifference depending on the degree of introspection and open reading that each person has. Each person is a world apart with its complexities about the vision of life in general. (It's nothing new), at the core of each person is quite a bit of this book. We are all somehow connected, and if these words somehow reach the reader a great change awaits us. We are all awakening to this spiritual wave and current issues that will bring us back to the origin, that we always were and are connected.

The concept called ¿¿Cittä¿ in yoga sutra of Patanjali (YSP) is very close to the term ¿mind¿, of modern psychology however it has a more comprehensive significance and field for functioning. The ¿¿Cittä¿is the constituent of ¿Indriyas¿, ¿¿Manä¿, ¿¿Buddhi¿¿ and ¿Ahamkarä. Indriyas are the organs (sensory and motor organs) of our body, Mind can be an English name given to ¿Manä [if we give the name ¿mind stuff¿ to ¿Cittä], ¿Buddhi¿ means intellect or intelligence and Ahamkara means I-am-ness or ego. In simpler form we can say, Mind (¿Manä), together with the discriminative faculty (¿Buddhi¿), and the egoism (Ahamkara) form the group called Antahkarana (the internal instrument). For cognition to occur, ¿Indriyas¿ (organs) has to have interaction with the ¿Antahkaranä (the internal instrument). Yoga identifies them as constituent parts of ¿Cittä of human. Animals do have ¿Cittä but they lack the discriminative faculty ¿¿Buddhi¿¿. I have developed a cognitive model explaining the concept of mind and cognition as explaind in YSP and has discussed the implication of the model too.

Compared to Ayurveda or Yoga, which by now have been included into western style medical research, V¿stu Sh¿stra is a new subject in the context of European science. This work should be regarded as a kind of first step or preliminary study aiming to bridge the gap between two ways of thinking rooted in two different philosophical and cultural worlds. V¿stu Sh¿stra has been presented in the language of the past days. But this does not mean that it is not valid knowledge. In order to evaluate its relevance for the complicated problems of the present world, we need cooperation between scholars who are equally proficient in Western knowledge as well as in Indian traditional knowledge of Sh¿stras. Only then it can be found out whether and how Indian traditional knowledge of Sh¿stras can be fruitfully used in our modern world. Besides providing the fundamental reasons behind the Vaastu principles, this book also aims to understand these fundamental principles and to analyse the blueprint it provides for a design system.

Denne bog er en beretning om de to store jordskælv i Nepal i foråret 2015. Bogens forfatter, Janaki Khadka, bor i Kathmandu og er en af Himalayan Project’s lokale medarbejdere. HP’s aktiviteter i Nepal er koncentreret i Solu området, som ligger øst for hovedstaden op mod Himalaya. Aktiviteterne omfatter to hovedområder: scholarships til skolebørn og studerende samt forskellige byggeprojekter (skoler, sundhedsklinikker, energiforsyning, beskæftigelse o.a.). Bogen hoveddel består dels af Janakis personlige fortælling om sine oplevelser under jordskælvene, og dels børnenes beretninger indsamlet af Janaki ved hendes uddelinger af scholarships. Denne fortælling suppleres med Kurt Lomborg løbende opdateringer på Himalayan Projects hjemmeside med de beretninger som han modtog fra medarbejderne i Nepal. De giver et interessant billede af, hvordan informationerne fra det afsides Himalaya, hvor telefonforbindelserne er svagt udviklede, og yderligere forringede efter jordskælvet, kommer ind først hovedsageligt som rygter, der oftest er overdrevne og dramatiserede, for sidenhen gradvist at tegne et mere sandfærdigt billede af forholdene.

Kathmandu is a wonderful place to visit, but when you wander around in the city you meet a lot of poor people; beggars, street vendors, holy men, and a lot of others. How do these people get by? Can they afford to send their children to school? Where do they live? How is their family life? These and a lot of other questions the author posed himself after visiting Kathmandu many times, and he decided to find the answers. He spend a long time in Kathmandu only to ask the poor themselves, take their pictures, and sometimes visit their homes. This book does not intend to answer the maybe most important question; how do we change the situation of poverty in Kathmandu and even more importantly, the rest of Nepal. The book can only be regarded as a personal experienced situation report, but it gives an insight into the situation and into the lives of a few people living in extreme poverty. The author is a writer, photographer and mountaineer who has visited Nepal many times, often to climb, but he has a personal liking to the poor people of Kathmandu.

Bogen handler om en usædvanlig aktiv ekspedition i Nepal, som startede som et helt andet projekt, men blev en fantastisk oplevelsesrig ekspedition med flere separate mål i Everest regionen af Himalaya. Bo var ekspeditionsleder på ekspeditionen og lykkedes med at få såvel flere af deltagerne som sig selv på toppen af adskillige 6 og 7 tusind meter høje toppe. Bogen beskriver turens forløb incl. de forviklinger og besværligheder, der var med til at ændre projektet dramatisk. Bos smukke billeder - såvel sort/hvid som farve - illustrerer strabadserne og oplevelserne gennem hele bogen.
