Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'A Beard In Nepal 2. Return to the Village' is the story of Fiona and Tod's second visit to the village of Salle, high in the Himalayas of Nepal. They returned to take presents and supplies to the villagers. The book is again full of humour as the couple from Liverpool trek with Kalyani (the village school headmistress) to a remote, hidden valley where her new husband's family live, braving again those incredibly high, dangerous roads through the mountains. This book gives us more detail about the villagers lives, and the lives of the wonderful, happy village children, who live so very differently from their Western counterparts. It also touches on the downside of life in Nepal today; the corruption, the destruction of the forests, lack of electricity, and lack of clean water. 'A Beard In Nepal 2' tells us about Fiona and Tod's encounter with black, poisonous spiders; how they avoided having to eat a cockerel; a water buffalo that snores so loudly it has to sleep in its own specially built shelter; and once again the nightmare of travelling in a local bus through the remote tracks in the high Himalayas. The book also looks at developments in Kathmandu, such as the 'removal' of 10,000 street dogs in the last few months.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'A Beard In Nepal' is the story of the five months Tod and Fiona spent in a small, remote village high in the Himalayas of Nepal, attempting to teach English to the village children. It is the story of an ordinary (?) middle aged couple from Liverpool who did an extraordinary thing, and lived to tell the tale. The book is an often humorous account of the challenges they faced while, for example, trying to teach the children in a small wooden hut, high up in the middle of a forest, without the benefit of water, electricity or toilet. They faced a constant struggle with the horrendous, debilitating effects of altitude sickness; the always present threat from wild tigers; severely restricted diet; and hair raising journeys along some of the highest, most dangerous roads in the world. They were among the first white people ever to visit the village of Salle, and could not have been received more warmly by the villagers and children, who did everything they could to make Tod and Fiona's stay in the village a happy one. We follow the couple as they teach a variety of sports and games to the children; as Tod builds them a see-saw; and as they brave the chaotic and dangerous mountain roads to visit the old Everest Base Camp of Edmund Hillary's time. The book highlights a number of interesting areas, not least the immense difference between the lives of the village children in Nepal and those of the children growing up in the West. Fiona and Tod also managed to visit Tibet, and climbed up to the awesome Potala Palace in Lhasa, having water thrown at them by a Chinese dignitary along the way. And of course the book also focuses on the time they spent in dirty, grimy, manic Kathmandu. 'A Beard In Nepal' is on Amazon as an Ebook and has downloaded approx 3,000 copies. The second part, 'A Beard In Nepal 2. Return to the Village' is now also out. ,

Book excerpt: Have you ever wondered if we live when we die? Do our beloved pets live on after death? Will we see them again? Have you ever thought you've seen a dark, ghostly figure out of the corner of your eye, but it vanished when you looked towards it? How many times have you awoken suddenly, certain that someone has called your name, but there is no one to be seen? What is clairvoyance? How does a medium make contact with the Spirit World? What is a ghost, and can we communicate with one?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What happens to a community when the majority of young people leave their homes to pursue an education? From a Trickle to a Torrent documents the demographic and social consequences of educational migration from Nubri, a Tibetan enclave in the highlands of Nepal. The authors explore parents’ motivations for sending their children to distant schools and monasteries, social connections that shape migration pathways, young people’s estrangement from village life, and dilemmas that arise when educated individuals are unable or unwilling to return and reside in their native villages. Drawing on numerous decades of research, this study documents a transitional period when the future of a Himalayan society teeters on the brink of irreversible change.

This book was released on 2020-07-03 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: His Holiness Shivkrupanand Swami, the proponent of ‘Samarpan Dhyan Sanskar’ has been conducting the 45 days Deep Meditation Practicum for the past 14 years at Samarpan Ashram, Dandi. During this period, His Holiness Swamiji is in a highly exalted state of meditation and keeps sending written messages for the spiritual upliftment of people from all sections of society. His Holiness Swamiji has declared the year 2020 as ‘Children’s Year’. His Holiness Swamiji has specifically written for and addressed children through the medium of these messages during this Practicum and is inspiring them to connect with Samarpan Dhyan Sanskar (Samarpan meditation values) to help them lead a healthy, safe and value-based life in today’s competitive and stressful environment. This booklet is a compilation of those same messages. Children can absorb the Samarpan meditation values through regular meditative practice; they can activate their inner energies and develop a positive and strong protective shield, and protect themselves from the dreadful disease of depression which is going to spread very fast in the near future. They can lead a positive, balanced, successful, innocent and contented life. They canobtain the Karma-free state in this life itself, and then they will be able to attain the state of Moksha (liberation). This process will surely prove to be a milestone on the journey towards the creation of a New Era. We believe that not only children but adults too will benefit through the medium of these messages.
