Travel Guide Book

I have this book from my previous post over and every story has only served to further enhance their beauty. This is a colorful kaleidoscope of intriguing characters, beliefs, rituals, relationships (both conventional and (especially) the non-conventional), topographies and landscapes.

Every story, makes its own shares from shock or poisoning, as the case may be, for many reasons:

- Reaffirms the delicate mystery of the nun to stay in detention "spiritual" paths thatcall among the overwhelming difficulties and objections can still lead to peace.

- Dancer of the Kannur emphasizes cunning and sometimes humorous one-sidedness of the effects of the enforcement of oppressive social divisions.

- The Daughters of Yellamma encourages us to hope and desires can spark and stay alive in hostile situations.

- The singer of epics humiliates the definition of what it is trained.

- The red fairydescribes the dangers of fundamentalism very strong.

- The Monk's Tale, the lesser-known horror makes the Tibetans and the evil perpetrated pursued anime perversion of the evidence so far sweeter.

- The creator of the idol sounds the alarm bell for co-option and the death of family traditions and generations.

- Lady Twilight shows that the bonds between the underdogs [well, maybe even more so] can be useful and affirming.

- The song ofBlind Minstrel challenges ideas about what it takes to be happy.

I tend to praise contradict the suggestion that this is an indictment of religious conviction. While the simplicity of innocence, and the struggles of "Nine Lives" is certainly appealing to some extent the book is released to try to distort or embellish, and therefore acts as very honest. Leans to neither romanticize nor follow. For this reason, it fails with flying colors.

I only have the first chapter, "The Nun's Tale", so far advanced, and found it very moving. It was a story that can flood into your consciousness ever so gently, but leaves a strong immediate effect.

The nun unwavering perseverance and strength through their faith and their too-human frailty and sadness that she was banned from the press about the death of her "walking companion" were inspired contrasts beautifully.

ITo recognize that this book is neither admit or collective systems of critical thought, but I could not do without her set of beliefs more clearly, almost violent ideologies by the vast majority of us try practiced.

Nine Lives: In Search of the Sacred in Modern India Overview

From the author of The Last Mughal (“A compulsively readable masterpiece” —The New York Review of Books), an exquisite, mesmerizing book that illuminates the remarkable ways in which traditional forms of religious life in India have been transformed in the vortex of the region’s rapid change—a book that distills the author’s twenty-five years of travel in India, taking us deep into ways of life that we might otherwise never have known exist.

A Buddhist monk takes up arms to resist the Chinese invasion of Tibet—and spends the rest of his life atoning for the violence by hand printing the finest prayer flags in India . . . A Jain nun tests her powers of detachment as she watches her closest friend ritually starve herself to death . . . A woman leaves her middle-class life in Calcutta and finds unexpected fulfillment living as a Tantric in an isolated, skull-filled cremation ground . . . A prison warder from Kerala is worshipped as an incarnate deity for three months of every year . . . An idol carver, the twenty-third in a long line of sculptors, must reconcile himself to his son’s desire to study computer engineering . . . An illiterate goatherd from Rajasthan keeps alive in his memory an ancient four-thousand-stanza sacred epic . . . A temple prostitute, who initially resisted her own initiation into sex work, pushes both her daughters into a trade she nonetheless regards as a sacred calling.

William Dalrymple chronicles these lives with expansive insight and a spellbinding evocation of circumstance. And while the stories reveal the vigorous resilience of individuals in the face of the relentless onslaught of modernity, they reveal as well the continuity of ancient traditions that endure to this day. A dazzling travelogue of both place and spirit.
