English | ISBN: 9811454922 | 2020 | pages | AZW3 | 21 MB
This is a book-no-a guide to faith. Real, raw, and authentic faith. Not the kind of polished, feel-good faith that's only good on the good days and vanishes the moment life turns up the heat. We're talking about faith for when and where it really matters- in the face of adversity, disappointment, anxiety about the future, and the seemingly impossible odds we're up against that the world and our culture remind us of 24/7. Faith that doesn't sidestep the issues, but with chutzpah, grit, and a lot of grace, confronts and takes on every mountain-whatever it might be. Above all, this book is about faith in a good God and His ability to hold on to us even when our faith fails. Over 4 weeks, lean in to the life of Caleb and other inspiring men and women in the Bible and discover powerful truths about God's ways of faith that will cause you to take ground in life and start thriving. Engage with thought-provoking reflection prompts, questions, and compelling activities that will help you own and apply these keys in your own life, and begin to go from barely surviving to actually thriving!

Gita Govinda Love Songs of Radha and Krishna

Gita Govinda Love Songs of Radha and Krishna
Jayadeva, Lee Siegel, "Gita Govinda: Love Songs of Radha and Krishna"
English | 2009 | ISBN: 0814740782 | EPUB | pages: 262 | 44.3 mb
Jayadeva's Gitagovínda is a lyrical account of the illicit springtime love affair of Krishna and Radha, a god and goddess manifesting on earth as a cowherd and milkmaid for the sake of relishing the sweet miseries and rapturous delights of erotic love. The narrative framing their bucolic songs was composed under royal patronage in northeastern India in the twelfth century. It was to be performed for connoisseurs of poetry and the erotic arts, for aesthetes and voluptuaries who, while sensually engaged, were at the same time devoted to Krishna as Lord of the Universe. The text at once celebrates the vicissitudes of carnal love and the transports of religious devotion, merging and reconciling those realms of emotion and experience. Erotic and religious sensibilities serve, and are served by, the pleasures of poetry. In the centuries following its composition, the courtly text became a vastly popular inspirational hymnal. Jayadeva's songs continue to be sung throughout India in fervent devotional adoration of Krishna.
