![]() ![]() The dialogues between the Christ-man and God touch upon the return of God to human life and reveal the nature of the incomprehensible existence of the Divine Being through an allegorical language, which grazes between the realm of knowledge and reason and a world which lies beyond all knowing and understanding by the human mind.If one wonders about God, whose nature of existence cannot be explained in any language known to man, this book may help to gain a closer understanding of the way the Divine may appear and act in human life.In modern time science denounces the ideas of Divinity and considers the believers of God as people with brain dysfunction. ![]() The book constitutes the final part of Tathagata - A Divine Comedy for Our Time where Tathagata transcends the limitations of the ego-bound world and sees himself as the Christ-Man, who embodies in himself the mystery of existence of both Man and God. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The book is an eye opener for young minds.For someone who thought the journey from start of 'true love' towards tying the knot was easy,the first three quarters of the book will frighten you.It depends on the way you se -Vivek Joshy Présentation de l'éditeur : Completed reading it for the eighth time now and I've never got bored reading it. 2States is one of the best love stories I have ever heard or read about.

Be it your family, friends or your partner. One of the things that has always bothered me most, and left me with some sleepless nights, is the fact that you can never really know exactly what someone else is thinking ever. What unfolded was a book which I enjoyed very much indeed and has grown on me all the more since I read it. I knew nothing other than the fact that lots of people I trust love her writing and this book and so I went into it completely blind with no idea of what to expect from the plot or the prose which can sometimes be the best way in.

"Though Haunting of Hill House and Bly Manor are both horror genre, they deal with so much more than your average horror genre piece. "The stories are boundless," Henry Thomas, who appears in both series, tells. Much like Ryan Murphy's horror anthology American Horror Story, the Haunting series features the same actors playing new characters-and "the regulars" are open to returning.
