This book on the Rock as the name sounds: comes from the Parable of the Wise Man building his House on the Rock. This book marks my detour from Apostasy and back to my belief and faith in the Savior and Lord Jesus Christ. I have tried to explain the hidden mysteries of the Kingdom of God inherent in the Bible. I wish whoever reading this book will be touched and will come to know the love of the Savior and Lord Jesus Christ. [more]

Und wieder fällt mir kein Klappentext ein. Aber ich hab' da noch 'n paar schlaue Sprüche! Wie wär's mit diesem: Der Linguistik innewohnt, dass bei Gebrauch man sie betont. Doch trifft man nicht den rechten Ton, wer’n Wörter schnell zum Idiom. oder mit diesem: Vermeide die Vermeidung von Fremdwörtern weil: Die versteht keiner. Meistens. Und das ist gut so. Sonst wären sie uns ja nicht fremd Sowas ist was fürs Leben. Wertvoll. Unbedingt! [more]

It Has Been Somewhere Said By Johnson, That Merely To Invent A Story Is No Small Effort Of The Human Understanding. How Much More Difficult Is It To Construct Stories Suited to The Early Years Of Youth, And, At The Same Time, Conformable To The Complicate Relations Of Modern Society--Fictions, That Shall Display Examples Of Virtue, Without Initiating The Young Reader Into The Ways Of Vice--Narratives, Written In A Style Level To His Capacity, Without Tedious Detail, Or Vulgar Idiom! The Author, Sensible Of These Difficulties, Solicits Indulgence For Such Errors As Have Escaped her Vigilance. [more]

The irony of the alleged lack of free speech in Modi India lies in the absolute freedom of its uninhibited propagation in its subsidiary media. In so far as the right-wing blowback in the social media, the left-libs fall short on the idiom that ‘people who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones’. When it comes to the ‘agencies’ knocking at free speakers’ doors, the legal dictum paraphrased as ‘one must go to town with clean hands’ has to be borne in mind by one and all. Be that as it may, it’s not as if it was all hunky-dory in the Nehruvian order of yore that nurtured the Modi-aggrieved of the day, and this is not an essay of its dark shades but an attempt to reach the roots of the self-defeating Hindu mindset, passing through my life and times.

The Object Of a Translator Should Ever Be To Hold The Mirror Upto His Author. That Being so, His Chief Duty Is To Represent So Far As Practicable The Manner In which His Author'S Ideas Have Been Expressed, Retaining if Possible At The Sacrifice Of idiom And Taste All The Peculiarities Of his Author'S Imagery And Of language As Well. In regard To Translations From The Sanskrit, Nothing is Easier Than To Dish Up Hindu Ideas, So As To Make Them Agreeable To English Taste. But The Endeavour Of The Present Translator Has Been To Give In the Following pages As Literal A Rendering as Possible Of the Great Work Of vyasa. To The Purely English Reader There Is Much In the Following pages That Will Strike As Ridiculous. Those Unacquainted With Any Language But Their Own Are Generally Very Exclusive In matters Of taste. Having no Knowledge Of models Other Than What They Meet With In their Own Tongue, The Standard They Have Formed Of Purity And Taste In composition Must Necessarily Be A Narrow One. The Translator, However, Would Ill-Discharge His Duty, If For The Sake Of Avoiding ridicule, He Sacrificed Fidelity To The Original. He Must Represent His Author As He Is, Not As He Should Be To Please The Narrow Taste Of those Entirely Unacquainted With Him. Mr. Pickford, In the Preface To His English Translation Of the Mahavira Charita, Ably Defends A Close Adherence To The Original Even At The Sacrifice Of idiom And Taste Against The Claims Of what Has Been Called 'Free Translation,' Which Means Dressing the Author In an Outlandish Garb To Please Those To Whom He Is Introduced.

For A Detailed Guide To Venice The Reader Must Go Elsewhere; All That I Have Done Is Invariably To Mention Those Things That Have Most Interested Me, And, In The Hope Of Being A Useful Companion, Often A Few More. But My Chief Wish (As Always In This Series) Has Been To Create A Taste. For The History Of Venice The Reader Must Also Go Elsewhere, Yet For The Sake Of Clarity A Little History Has Found Its Way Even Into These Pages. To Go To Venice Without First Knowing Her Story Is A Mistake, And Doubly Foolish Because The City Has Been Peculiarly Fortunate In Her Chroniclers And Eulogists. Mr. H.F. Brown Stands First Among The Living, As Ruskin Among The Dead; But Ruskin Is For The Student Patient Under Chastisement, Whereas Mr. Brown's Serenely Human Pages Are For All. Of Mr. Howells' _Venetian Life_ I Have Spoken More Than Once In This Book; Its Truth And Vivacity Are A Proof Of How Little The Central Venice Has Altered, No Matter What Changes There May Have Been In Government Or How Often Campanili Fall. The Late Col. Hugh Douglas's _Venice On Foot_, If Conscientiously Followed, Is Such A Key To A Treasury Of Interest As No Other City Has Ever Possessed. To Mrs. Audrey Richardson's _Doges Of Venice_ I Am Greatly Indebted, And Herr Baedeker Has Been Here As Elsewhere (In The Arab Idiom) My Father And My Mother. [more]

Bhagavad-Gita is the most beautiful, perhaps the only true philosophical song existing in any known tongue’ – so opined William von Humboldt, who wrote seven-hundred verses in its praise. Though it is a matter of consensus that Bhagvad-Gita in the present length of seven hundred slokas has many an interpolation to it, but no meaningful attempt has ever been made to delve into the nature and extent, not to speak of the effect of these on the Hindu society at large. The methodical codification of interpolations carried out here, for the first time ever, puts the true character of Gita in proper perspective. Identified here are hundred and ten slokas of deviant nature and or of partisan character, the source of so much misunderstanding about Bhagvad-Gita, the book extraordinary, in certain sections of the Hindu fold. In the long run, exposing and expunging these mischievous insertions is bound to bring in new readers from these quarters to this over two millennia old classic besides altering the misconceptions of the existing adherents. In this modern rendition, the beauty of the Sanskrit slokas is reflected in the rhythmic flow of the English verse of poetic proportions even as the attendant philosophy of the song that is Bhagvad-Gita is captured in contemporary idiom for easy comprehension. Contents Introduction Awe Unfounded All about Interpolations Chapters Arjuna’s Dilemma All about Life Theory of Action Practical Wisdom Art of Renunciation Practice of Restraint Know the Spirit Cycle of Creation The Sacred Secret Discern the Divine Nature of Omnipresence Doctrine of Faith Field and Farmer Proclivities to Know Art of Liberation Frailty of Thought Science of Devotion Thy Looking-glass [more]
