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 main ambition of this book lies in a detailed analysis of the formation and enforcement of Nepal¿s Muluk¿ Ain of 1854, specifically focusing on the provisions regarding homicide within the Muluk¿ Ains of 1854 and 1870. This study also examines contemporaneous legal records, revealing the complexities of the Ain¿s implementation. The articles on homicide serve as a microcosm illustrating the broader evolution of Nepal¿s legal code, which departed from outdated punishments like genital mutilation and introduced fines and imprisonment instead. Still, the innovations introduced into the Ain of 1854 were not uniformly progressive. The Ain in its various stages of development thus showcases the complex ways in which legal systems inevitably undergo transformation.

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.
