We live in times where we have more Babas, yet we are more ignorant like never before. The world has catapulted to us, a slew of such self-styled Godmen who own a narrow slice in our joint memory. But the one in the text holds a little different degrees to have snacked on the seat. The novella "An accidental Baba" traces the journey of a mundane woodcutter who chanced upon to don the hat of a Baba. Dramatic irony is appetizing all through the sparse text. In a chain of accidents and labyrinth of misunderstandings, a woodcutter takes to the role of a Baba. Thereafter, he clears the palate of readers and offers them a newer savoury too. How this Baba meanders through his routine gauntlets is something to watch out for. Needless to say, in all the events, he ends up unpacking the locked humour, though himself remains locked at the end of the day.Hope that the heady mix of plot turns, endears the characters to you.

A highly personal meditation on the nature and meaning of suffering. An adequate explanation of suffering is perhaps the most intractable issue in the study of religion and philosophy, and the answer to the question “Why me?” has eluded not only those who are the victims of suffering, but those who sympathize with them and try to understand and explain their suffering. In this highly personal account, Arvind Sharma shares his story of becoming the victim of a severe road accident and his gradual recovery from a fractured knee, which included a hospital stay, surgeries, unexpected setbacks, and a lengthy process of rehabilitation. In the second and most substantial part of the book, Sharma attempts to intellectually come to terms with his experience and to reflect on how the experience of suffering in one form or another is a universal condition of human existence. “This book reads like a spiritual handbook on the problems of suffering and evil, which can be overwhelming. It is filled with wisdom of various traditions on the viscous question of theodicy, but is balanced by sprightly humor. The difficult subject is made accessible through personal reflections and philosophical and religious insights. Once I started reading, I had to finish it—it was captivating and inspiring.” — Veena R. Howard, author of Gandhi’s Ascetic Activism: Renunciation and Social Action “This fascinating and highly personal book offers a rare window into how events in the lives of scholars can shape their work and worldview. It is a valuable contribution to the wider discourse on the embodied and embedded nature of scholarly work: that it does not occur in a vacuum or from some imagined ‘objective’ Archimedean standpoint.” — Jeffery D. Long, author of A Vision for Hinduism: Beyond Hindu Nationalism

The title ‘THUMBS-UP FOR RUMA,’ is one of the most popular kindle titles. It's a tragedy, pitches upon the life a young lively girl who attracts us with her artless musings and innocent charm. Though it’s a heart-wrenching narrative, a tragedy to gnaw at the heart yet, the title stands justified to be toned in positive. It could very well be attributed to the eternal sprightly, playful and sober child who brings life to one’s memories of childhood. The title is also relevant in one more sense that which the girl lived through, faced straight the unseemly troubles, her courage and choices mark her above an ordinary child. At the centre of the novel is Ruma, a cheerful, little bubbly girl, though with a torn soul to steer through with a terrific cast of other characters chiefly, Nirupalli, a loving, considerate nurse who had been searching her, since they parted away. At first blush, the story seems to be a fount of humour and chugs along smoothly, it’s when Nirupalli and Ruma meet each other and remain at the loggerheads. Ruma is an epitome of childish innocence and playfulness, plays down the serious and calm attitude of the nurse leaving her defeated and embittered. Through a well-knit conspiracy of her twin elder brothers, in possession of great wealth and power, she is forcefully rushed to a far-off place of which she hardly bears a hint and captivated in a dark, lone room, from where she makes a successful escape with the aid of a by-passer, a random man. In the other link of the same chain, the nurse-maid who had been made to treat Ruma while she was ill, is late and lamenting to discover that she caught a deadly infection that anyway could have passed through her into little child’s, causing perhaps her death if not treated medically for that very rare condition. She accidentally chances upon to overhear the ill-designs of the sinister twins, and secretly hurries back, now direly firm and decided to find the girl and help her destiny. A kind manager, Mrs Ranga who curiously is Nirupalli’s friend helps her flee with Amit, the gardener’s son to his village, in case she should be suspected by the police and face the trial if the truth comes up. Nirupalli, who stays with her during her pursuit to find Ruma, is caught unawares about the possible fact that her friend and Ruma are in direct touch but comes to discover it only after it’s extremely late. And the prudence caused her greater sadness when she visits the village where Ruma was supposed to be with the gardener’s son and finds her no longer living. Towards the end of the story, one can figure that the hope being crushed when Ruma dies out in the flames of a merciless, untamed fire-break out. Well, that’s for the debate and undecided reality because some people held it too that Ruma saved her life and again the evidence that no one saw her burning first-hand even the remains of the ashes were not revealing. Ruma after escaping the place of captivity seeks shelter in a big mansion that belongs to a renowned Bengali family who was kind enough to have her. As luck would have it, the child steadily but sadly morphed into a servant to them. She had not spent many peaceful days when another debacle fell in her way, changing her course of life for always. Ruma by fault and accident, happened to kill an intruder who jumped off the boundary in dark, and rushed towards her, she found nothing less than a poker around to defend herself. Just while she was turning round of herself, the intruder thrust into the long, unkind neck of the poker, dripping with hot blood. Mr and Mrs Ranga tone down the nail-biting tension in the air around though all the narrative. The prime mover of the villainy receives a justified end with the younger brother killing the older one, following a heated argument, and landing himself up in jail.

Dreams of steady employment in the mining sector led thousands of Ukrainian immigrants to northern Ontario in the early 1900s. As a child, Stacey Zembrzycki listened to her baba’s stories about Sudbury’s small but polarized Ukrainian community and what it was like growing up ethnic during the Depression. According to Baba grew out of those stories, out of a fledgling historian’s desire to capture the experiences of her grandparents’ generation on paper. Eighty-two interviews conducted by Stacey and her grandmother laid the groundwork for this insightful and personal social history of Sudbury’s Ukrainian community. The interviews also brought to light the challenges of doing oral history, particularly as Stacey lost authority to her Baba, wrestled it back, and eventually came to share it. By disclosing the hard work that goes into making communities partners in research, Zembrzycki offers a new paradigm for writing oral history and for studying the politics of memory.

Even Though The Writer Addresses Sai Baba, This Book Is Intended For Anyone In Search Of God. She Poses Questions And Answers We All Ask When We Set Out On The Spiritual Path. Actually She Addresses The Atma - Another Name For The Higher Self - That Resides In All Of Us. This Higher Self Can Manifest Itself On Earth In Human Form And As Such Has Been Given Different Names In The Various Cultures And Religions, Names As Rama, Krishna, Jesus, And Buddha And So On. However, We Always Deal With The Same Principle, Namely God Who Can Manifest In Different Forms But Who Ultimately Transcends Any Form And Is Worshipped As The Formless Principle Residing In All Of Us And Animating Everything From Within. If You Replace The Name Of Sai Baba For One That Represents Your Chosen Deity, You May Benefit Greatly By These Lessons Which Teach Us How, By Living Righteously And In Accordance With God S Will, We Can Be Happy In The Present, Critical Age.

Nearly a century after his death, the image of Sai Baba, the serene old man with the white beard from Shirdi village in Maharashtra, India, is instantly recognizable to most South Asians (and many Westerners) as a guru for all faiths—Hindus, Muslims, and others. During his lifetime Sai Baba accepted all followers who came to him, regardless of religious or caste background, and preached a path of spiritual enlightenment and mutual tolerance. These days, tens of thousands of Indians and foreigners make the pilgrimage to Shirdi each year, and Sai Baba temples have sprung up in unlikely places around the world, such as Munich, Seattle, and Austin. Tracing his rise from small village guru to global phenomenon, religious studies scholar Karline McLain uses a wide range of sources to investigate the different ways that Sai Baba has been understood in South Asia and beyond and the reasons behind his skyrocketing popularity among Hindus in particular. Shining a spotlight on an incredibly forceful devotional movement that avoids fundamental politics and emphasizes unity, service, and peace, The Afterlife of Sai Baba is an entertaining—and enlightening—look at one of South Asia’s most popular spiritual gurus.
