It all began with a line of Persian poetry . . . Anna and Nouri, both studying in Chicago, fall in love despite their very different backgrounds. Anna, who has never been close to her parents, is more than happy to return with Nouri to his native Iran, to be embraced by his wealthy family. Beginning their married life together in 1978, their world is abruptly turned upside down by the overthrow of the Shah, and the rise of the Islamic Republic. Under the Ayatollah Khomeini and the Republican Guard, life becomes increasingly restricted and Anna must learn to exist in a transformed world, where none of the familiar Western rules apply. Random arrests and torture become the norm, women are required to wear hijab, and Anna discovers that she is no longer free to leave the country. As events reach a fevered pitch, Anna realizes that nothing is as she thought, and no one can be trusted not even her husband.

Anna & Nouri fall in love, move to Tehran, and marry. Four months later the shah is deposed. Anna, a young American studying in Chicago falls in love with fellow-student Nouri, the son of a wealthy Iranian business executive. Anna, whose parents are divorced and remote, eagerly moves to Tehran where she marries and is embraced by Nouri's family. A few months later, however, in February 1978, the Shah is deposed and the Islamic Republic of Iran is formed. Life turns upside down for the couple as men, but especially women, are restricted in their activities, clothing, and behavior. Arrests and torture are frequent, education for women is prohibited, and Anna cannot travel without her husband's permission. Although she tries to conform to please her husband and new family, Anna chafes under the oppression, while Nouri seems to embrace it. Anna grows increasingly unhappy, and as events become more explosive, so does Nouri. Anna is desperate to return to America, but Nouri refuses to allow it. Tension builds until a shattering event changes everything and plunges Anna into a tumultuous—and dangerous—vortex, raising the possibility she will never leave Iran alive.

The Veil is a collection of beautiful soul stirring stories that are inspired by the past lives revealed by Minal Arora’s clients in their past life regression sessions. Each story takes the reader through a heart warming experience with intimate details of how their lives progressed through the situations they faced, unfolding profound journeys led back in time. At the end of each story, Minal shares how that lifetime was linked to their current life and how the experience helped them go past a situation in this life. The stories have themes revolving around love, soulmate relationships, war, loss, reunion, spirituality, mythology and parenting, all interwoven into a rhythm that echoes the eternity and wholeness of this moment, the way it is. The book also boasts of some very ethereal poetry by Kirti Narang where she conveys the state of being of the client as they traversed their journey through those lifetimes, adding a bitter sweet symphony to the tales. The Veil is an empowering account of how life could offer us all sorts of experiences and how we can still use our creative insight and acceptance of the situation to grow through it and transform them to favor us and create more joy & bless as we go along.

Alles beginnt mit einer Zeile aus einem persischen Gedicht ¿ Anna und Nouri, beide Studenten an der Universität in Chicago, verlieben sich trotz ihres sehr unterschiedlichen kulturellen Hintergrunds ineinander. Anna, die zu ihren Eltern kein besonders inniges Verhältnis hat, ist überglücklich, mit Nouri in sein Heimatland Iran ziehen zu können, wo sie von seiner wohlhabenden Familie mit offenen Armen empfangen wird. Doch was 1978 mit einer glücklichen Ehe beginnt, wird völlig auf den Kopf gestellt, als die Welt durch den Sturz des Schahs und das Entstehen der Islamischen Republik aus den Fugen gerät.Unter Ayatollah Khomeini und den Republikanischen Gardisten wird das alltägliche Leben immer schwieriger. Anna muss lernen, in einer veränderten Welt voller Beschränkungen, in der die ihr vertrauten, westlichen Verhaltensweisen nicht mehrt toleriert werden, zu bestehen. Willkürliche Verhaftungen und Folter sind an der Tagesordnung. Frauen werden gezwungen, einen Hidschab zu tragen. Und Anna muss erkennen, dass sie nicht mehr frei über ihre Ausreise bestimmen kann.Als sich die Situation dramatisch zuspitzt, merkt Anna, dass nichts mehr so ist, wie sie dachte, und dass sie niemandem mehr vertrauen kann ¿ nicht einmal ihrem Ehemann.

In this exciting and challenging account of the development and sustainability of the liberal democratic state, Ajume H. Wingo offers a completely new perspective from that provided by political theorists. Such theorists will typically argue for the basic values of liberal democracies by rationally justifying them. This book argues that it is non-rational factors - rhetoric, symbols, traditions - that more often than not provide the real source of motivation. Drawing from both historical and philosophical sources Ajume H. Wingo demonstrates that these 'veils', as he calls them, can play an essential role in a thriving, stable liberal democratic state. This theory of veil politics furnishes a conceptual framework within which we can reassess the role of aesthetics in politics, the nature and function of political myths in liberal democracies, and the value of civic education.
