    Paperback. Condición: Good. The ancient Egyptian goddess Hathor personifies the principles of love, motherhood, and joy. One of the most important deities in ancient Egypt, Hathor was worshiped by royalty and common people alike. She is depicted as "Mistress of the West" and welcomed the dead into the next life. In The Divine Mother Speaks, Rashmi Khilnani simplifies the wisdom and teachings of Hathor, and decodes the Egyptian Mystery School. Here is an extensive, in-depth, yet clear explanation of universal life force energy in its multifaceted forms--the energy of love, the elements and the primordial energies of the universe made simple for anyone to use in becoming conscious co-creators in this time of bringing, and becoming, heaven on earth. If you want to have the latest update on the change of frequencies leading up to 2012 and the ending of the Mayan Calendar . . . if you wish to come to a deeper acceptance and love of yourself and others . . . if you desire a deeper sense of peace and friendship with your heart . . . if your intention is to come to a greater sense of grace and ease in this time of fast-changing paradigms . . . if you are seeking effortless keys to deeper states of Christ Consciousness . . . Then the Goddess energy can help you.…

With ferociously religious and militant politicians in power has the idea of India lost all meaning.…

    Paperback. Condición: Very Good. An entertaining and provocative account of India''s past, written by one of the country''s leading thinkers For all India''s myths, its sea of stories and moral epics, Indian history remains a curiously unpeopled place. In Incarnations, Sunil Khilnani fills that space, bringing to life fifty extraordinary men and women who changed both India and the world. Journeying across India in pursuit of their stories--visiting slum temples, ayurvedic call centers, Bollywood studios, textile mills, and Mughal fortresses--Khilnani offers trenchant portraits of emperors, warriors, philosophers, artists, iconoclasts, and entrepreneurs. Some of these historical figures are famous. Some are unjustly forgotten. And all, Khilnani convinces us, are deeply relevant today. As their rich and surprising lives take the reader through twenty-five hundred winding years of Indian and world history, Khilnani brings wit, feeling, historical rigor, and uncommon insight to dilemmas that extend from ancient times to our own. We encounter the Buddha not as the usual beatific icon but as a radical young social critic. We meet the ancient Sanskrit linguist who inspires computer programmers today. We hear the medieval poets, ribald and profound, who mocked rituals and caste and whose voices resonate in contemporary poetry. And we see giants of the twentieth-century Independence movement--among them Mohandas Gandhi; Ambedkar, the Untouchable lawyer turned constitution maker; and the legendary singer M. S. Subbulakshmi--not as cardboard cutouts but as complex and striving human beings. At once a provocative and sophisticated reinterpretation of India''s history and an incisive commentary on its present-day conflicts and struggles, Incarnations is an authoritative, sweeping, and often moving account of a nation coming into its own. own.

    Hardback. Condición: Good. The collapse of the revolutionary identity of the Left has been more spectacular in France than anywhere else in the West. For three decades after World War II, Marxism held a key position within French intellectual culture; the language of revolutionary politics was widely articulated and practised, while at the same time the French government remained staunchly right-wing. However, at some point in the 1970s Marxism lost its grip on the French intellectual imagination - an event which coincided with the growth of academic Marxism in England, and with the achievement of political success by the French Left at 30 years in opposition. This book seeks to explain this massive and seemingly irrational shift in intellectural preferences, asking why this happended in France? How do France's intellectual and political histories relate? And what is it about the French mentality that can first champion and then obliterate a particular set of beliefs.…
