He has been involved in writing poems, novels, stories and other useful books since his early youth. After graduating from Mithila University (India), he adopted a career as a language teacher and served at L.P. Mehta High School and Lohiya Nagar Mount Carmel School (Patna) and, later, as Vice Principal of Indian School of which he was also a founder member. He further served as Office Secretary of the Continental Board of Counsellors in Asia (Gwalior office). He also served on the Translation & Review Committee of the National Spiritual Assembly of the Baha’is of India and translated a number of books including the Most Holy Book of the Baha’i Faith (by Baha’u’llah), Covenant (by Lowell Johnson), The Bab – The Herald of the Day of Days (H.M. Balyuji) among others. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Mr. Mishra is presently collaborating with a number of reputed translation agencies of India and abroad as a freelance writer and translator and has served in that capacity scores of international clients and companies of Australia, Canada, India, UK and USA. His books “Did I Exist Before ....?” published by Pustak Mahal (www.pustakmahal.com) and “A Writer’s Manual” published by V&S Publishers, New Delhi, are wonderful books carving out a niche in the market. A number of his eBooks are also available on SMASHWORDS, a prominent eBook site (https://www.smashwords.com/books/search?query=suniti+chandra+mishra)and on Amazon Kindle. To read some of his poems, stories and other write-ups, see: https://www.boloji.com/writers/1537/suniti-chandra </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Founded in the memory of his loving mother, (late) Mrs. Indumukhi Mishra, Indumukhi Publications is a dream project of Suniti Chandra Mishra with sole motive to establish a publishing house with the ‘Authors’ in mind. The aim is to provide an easy-to-access, affordable and author-friendly platform which the budding writers can rely for publishing their books and reap the maximum benefit from the sale of their books. A publisher connects the authors with their readers and this process surely involves investments, marketing, teamwork and time. Naturally, therefore, publishers need to make their cost for the time, energy and resources they put; however, it is the author who has put his or her maximum efforts in creating a useful book. He or she has spent many months conceptualizing, researching, finalizing and presenting the book. So, in monetary terms, his or her share in the proceeds of the book must be significantly greater. This is one of the basic concepts on which Indumukhi Publications has been founded. Therefore, if you feel you can write, Indumukhi Publications is there for your help.</span></div><div style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><br /></div></div></div>INDUMUKHI PUBLICATIONShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04295083960001229838noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8557174492364912017.post-22704556797212488912021-04-07T21:33:00.006+05:302021-04-07T22:00:20.233+05:30ABOUT INDUMUKHI PUBLICATIONS<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-top: 0in; text-align: justify;"><b>Indumukhi Publications</b><span style="font-weight: normal;"> is a dream in making and we believe that all great realities are made out of solid and persistent dreams. To be truthful to our readers, this publishing house—though modest in its beginning—is prelude to a noble and vast enterprise to be known as</span><b> ‘INDUMUKHI WORLD’ </b><span style="font-weight: normal;">which will incorporate several initiatives for promoting education, literature, arts & sciences, health, status of women & children, animal care and more. Indumukhi World, in brief, is not about ‘helping’ people; it’s about ‘empowering’ people. </span></div><div style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-top: 0in; text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVd8GTr0rkxi7hXAVUCxLxHNp6ApNy0ZXLML8uzsXb3P-XfHbbz9mW4Yg-8Eo67bACc225lNWR2quuHhP4MTh0TpQ4dZ4n378JYDirYusfgWyvP_X8HwXjDEb7csnwOtjveqG6NI0VXQ/s1600/Indumukhi+Logo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1271" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVd8GTr0rkxi7hXAVUCxLxHNp6ApNy0ZXLML8uzsXb3P-XfHbbz9mW4Yg-8Eo67bACc225lNWR2quuHhP4MTh0TpQ4dZ4n378JYDirYusfgWyvP_X8HwXjDEb7csnwOtjveqG6NI0VXQ/s320/Indumukhi+Logo.jpg" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></div><div style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-top: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Apart from its prime venture—Indumukhi Publications—this vast Indumukhi World is going to embrace in its fold: Awards for foster parents, scholarships for promising students, an Indo-Iranian Cultural Library, a Prosperity Centre, schools and hostels for marginalized girl children, a Nutrition Centre for poor mothers and children, a pet care & counseling centre, a cowshed, a psychological counseling unit, a unique primary school for children with moral empowerment wing, a holistic health care unit, Yoga Centre, Dance, Drama & Music School, a drug & tobacco de-addiction centre, a creative world for children to showcase their hidden talents, vocational institutes for financial empowerment of women & youth, and much more. For all these thousand dollar projects, visibly the only earning entity is going to be Indumukhi Publications. Is it still difficult for you to guess what the motive behind this publishing house is?</span></div><div style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-top: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span><span style="font-weight: normal;">It is such a lofty vision that drives the initiation of Indumukhi Publications. It is not a publishing house to ‘exploit’ writers but to give them wings, to help them unravel their creative powers. Experiences reveal to us that even though it is the writer who authors a book, conceives, imagines, plans and produces its contents, he is the last in profit-sharing. On an average, authors hardly get even 10% from the proceeds of the books they have written using their own time and energy. We have dared to turn the table by putting the authors first. We are primarily e-publishers (though we do not say ‘No’ to traditional books) and we believe that now we are in the era of eBooks. Traditional hard-bound books are becoming obsolete, off the shelves, and handy, portable, on-the-go, easy-to-read eBooks are becoming trendy. So, if you have written—or are planning to write—an eBook, we are there to help. Our expert services include: editing, proofreading, translation, cover designs, and even a thoughtful review of your eBook. Our services are presently in Hindi and English but more languages will be included as more experts join our team. </span></div><div style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-top: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span><span style="font-weight: normal;">Starting with our own simple but quality-packed books, Indumukhi Publications stretches its arms to take in its embrace all budding writers. At the same time, it opens up vistas for all book distributors and eBook distribution channels who want to strike a good business by selling and promoting books/eBooks of abiding values. We are also in the process of building up our team of writers, translators, proofreaders, graphic designers, etc. and if you fall in one of these categories, you’re welcome!</span></div><div style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-top: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiP_qpay6l8-sS8H-28UdVm8TeZbptA1ElzGJA-9SAGJgOSaRbB3qjKQubjT3qypMYVXnJCeVmZyBg2_AA1ASNgMHiVR5-Iv3XytYIFFfTkg2KrhCVG7-SuD_62798DcNkpIjL7O_Bihg/s304/download.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="304" data-original-width="166" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiP_qpay6l8-sS8H-28UdVm8TeZbptA1ElzGJA-9SAGJgOSaRbB3qjKQubjT3qypMYVXnJCeVmZyBg2_AA1ASNgMHiVR5-Iv3XytYIFFfTkg2KrhCVG7-SuD_62798DcNkpIjL7O_Bihg/s0/download.jpg" /></a></div><br />Indumukhi Publications is dedicated to a noble lady, (late) Mrs. Indumukhi Mishra (1932-1977) – who died in her prime age leaving behind us a small personal library with scores of books and, above all, an avid longing in the heart of her progeny for books that can truly change lives. She bloomed like a wild flower, away from the parks of fame and glory, but the fragrances of her mental highness, her struggles and ever-fervent quest for knowledge will always be retained in each book published and promoted by this publication house bearing her name.</span></div><div style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-top: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span><span style="font-weight: normal;">Children are our special assets and our most targeted readers because we believe that each child is a candle of hope in this morally dark world.

The hints are designed to give you some ‘additional’ information in relevance and, also, to arouse your curiosity to learn more on the topic. When a hint is not given intentionally, it is marked as <b>N.A.</b> and the font size of that question is slightly bigger. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">DID I EXIST BEFORE …. and …. WILL I BE BORN AGAIN? </span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Courier New"; line-height: 115%;">These two perennial questions have haunted human beings since time immemorial, and have been answered in many mystic and clear ways. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Courier New"; line-height: 115%;">This book presents the answers given from time to time in a logical and convincing sequence and concludes in such a way that it is the final answer and no other argument is needed or can be given. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Courier New"; line-height: 115%;">This book presents a curious and independent investigation, shows a general as well as personalized approach and settles the question forever by accepting and declaring that the aim of this journey is to attain God. The soul attains it and is freed. Read the book for that <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Moksha</i> (salvation).</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red; font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Detailed Synopsis of the Book: </span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New"; line-height: 115%;">DID I EXIST BEFORE ….</span></i></b><span style="font-family: "Courier New"; line-height: 115%;"> is a theosophical book dealing with the subject of ‘life before and after this mortal realm’ . Based on his perceptions of the life principles and personal belief, the author strives to establish that the <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">creation is a process beyond any beginning or end</b> in which each soul (and its soul-mate) is ‘separated’ from the Great Soul for a <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">spiritual ‘Hide-and-Seek’</i></b>, to find Him back using his own free will. To make this <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Hide-and-Seek</i> intricate and interesting – and, at the same time, full of meaning and purpose – God (The Great Soul) inspired each soul to find his or her soul-mate and rush together to meet Him. Those who found their soul-mates are close to finding God since ‘human heart’ is the common dwelling-place of both the ‘Beloveds’. Material love becomes a tunnel through which one emerges in the realm of Immortal Love.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New"; line-height: 115%;">The single purpose for the creation of this multi-faceted universe and human souls is: To love God as God loves His creatures and so He created them</span></b><span style="font-family: "Courier New"; line-height: 115%;">. The way to God is through this colorful, transient world. This finite world contains in itself both postulations for a soul – every atom guides here to the abode of the Most Beloved and, simultaneously, it has messes and snares to withhold the seeker from journeying to the Divine. Every soul is free to choose its course - either to behold this mortal charm from an ‘eternal’ vista or witness this eternal magic of life from a ‘mortal’ vista. To wander and be lost in this forest ... or drink its fresh-gushing water, partake of its yummy fruits, and – fresh and rejuvenated – rush to the Beloved. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">With the sequential fluttering of the wings of ‘free will’ and ‘destiny’ the swan of the soul will soar to the sky – leaving the indelible trails of ‘karma’ which will guide his journey further … in the next life! </b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Courier New"; line-height: 115%;">Choosing the course to God requires a highly developed spiritual drive. No soul can attain this perfection in a single life effort. It has to come and go again and again, learn from its own pangs and pleasures, till it finally knows that <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">this entire world is but a ‘meaningful phantasmagoria’ for the evolution of the soul.</b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Courier New"; line-height: 115%;">The book, written in a lucid style, is enriched with suitable and authenticating <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">quotations from Baha’i texts, the Bible, the Geeta, the Quran and other sources, and yet they are limited to retain the book’s original flavor as an open-hearted book</b> for any general reader who is curious to know about his or her existence before and after, rather than making it a burdening philosophical treatise.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New"; line-height: 115%;">The </span><span style="font-family: "Courier New";">greatest impediment to revelation of truth has ever been our ‘colored spectacles’ to see it. We never stand near truth as an ‘unknown’, ‘unlearned’, ‘unachieved’, and ‘unprejudiced’ individual. The first thing we do before setting an ‘appointment’ with truth is to wear our spectacles, because we are always afraid thinking ‘oh, what if the color of truth is something else than I believe?’ So, some go wearing Hindu specks, some putting on Christian goggles, yet others Islamic binoculars …. and there are many other spectacles! An average Hindu stands there defensive of his deep-rooted belief in ‘reincarnation’. A Muslim is fully alert that no fact should appear that proves the theory of reincarnation because, as they say, it is against the teaching of Islam. A Christian also stands quite ready with his protective radars ON so that nothing goes against Christian teachings that have no belief in rebirth. Similarly, a Baha’i has his own defensive shield, because their religion does not believe in ‘reincarnation’ in line with the Hindu concepts, and a Buddhist appears with a different posture. Nothing can be a worse treatment with truth than seeing it with eyes fully blind and mind completely unreceptive. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-align: justify;"><br />

That’s because I want to see the truth from several windows so that my mind settles in complete certitude. At the same time, I also maintain that each individual has to find his or her truth by himself or herself, because truth is a very ‘relative’ term ….. relative with time, with space, with individual, with the level of knowledge which is always in progressive mode, etc. and yet truth is ‘absolute’, too! These two aspects of ‘truth’ – its relativity and absoluteness – must be observed carefully to grasp the full picture. What <b>Krishna</b><b> </b>said in His time was not all contextual with a progressive time. For example, He said that He created four <i>‘varnas’</i> (castes or groups based on their work and skills): <i>Brahmins</i>, the learned class; <i>Kshatriyas</i>, the ruler and warrior class; <i>Vaishyas</i>, the trader class; and <i>Shudras</i>, the serving class.<a href="http://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=8557174492364912017&postID=1643788729364733534#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn1;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;">[1]</span></span></span></a> Can even a staunch Hindu honestly admit today that this ‘classification’ is just and applicable in today’s society? Is it possible to divide this complex human society, with ever-increasing activities day by day, in these four ‘compartments’, especially when they became a class-order based on exalting one over the other? The fact is: many things that Krishna taught and many things that He did not specifically teach were ‘relative’ to His time, relative to the capacity and receptivity of the people of His time. There are many things that Krishna did not at all ‘talk about’. For example, He did not reveal any significant amount of teaching about “equality of men and women” but <b>Baha’u’llah</b> did so. While reading the Scriptures blindfolded, we must remember this specific nature of truth. Now, since Krishna did not say anything about equality of men and women, it does not mean that He did not consider this equality valid or He was against the equality of men and women. In His indirect teachings and through His personal example He amply showed that He loved and safeguarded women and valued their dignity<a href="http://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=8557174492364912017&postID=1643788729364733534#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn2;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;">[2]</span></span></span></a>. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New";">Every religion in its respective time teaches about the ‘core values’ relevant for that time. Every Messenger appears as a divine Teacher who teaches us on two bases – first, the ‘spiritual curriculum’ prescribed by God and, second, the receptivity of the people. Just consider yourself to be a pupil in Grade 1. The teacher who came to teach you is learned enough to guide you into the principles of syntax and etymology, but he limits himself to teaching you alphabet and simple words. Because the syllabus prescribed to him does not allow him to go beyond that nor it will be in your capacity to know about etymology and syntax before you have learnt alphabet. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New";">Geeta, Tripitak, Talmud, Zendavesta, Tattvarthasutra, Bible, Analects, Kojiki, Chuang-tzu, Quran, Bayan, Aqdas, Adi Granth, Dianetics – whatever Scripture can be named, none of them deal with “each and all” sphere of human life, they do not shed guidance on A to Z matters of spiritual realm. We cannot therefore make any Scripture a final basis to prove or disprove everything. They all focus on the ‘most vital teaching for that time’ and other matters become secondary. For example, the main emphasis of the Bible is on God’s kindness and the sins of the humankind and the appearance of the Christ to save us from our sins by offering His own life. Christianity is the religion of “faith” and “forgiveness” and the “immensity of God’s kindness” for all of us that culminated in the sacrifice of His own chosen son – Jesus Christ. The Quran focuses on the orders and disciplines of human life and the ultimate peace and salvation of mankind in surrendering before Allah. It deals with several other topics, as does Bible too, but the main focus are on these things only. Baha’u’llah lays His emphasis on practical activities with spiritual intents that can advance the human civilization as a unified body. Though His Writings shed light on many mystical aspects, His exhortation to mankind is to refrain from idle imaginings and waste no time in the pursuit of such knowledge that ‘begin with word and end with word’. Lord Krishna appeared in a different time when the subjects dealt in the Bible or the Quran or the Aqdas were not so relevant but the knowledge about the nature of soul was to be imparted essentially to an innocent-hearted seeker whose name was <i>Arjun</i>a (literally meaning, ‘The Simple One’). Let’s always remember this time-specific truth of the Holy Books and the Messengers of God before concluding anything.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New";">Do Christianity and Islam believe in rebirth? This becomes a weighty question only when we first ask: Have Christianity and Islam dealt specifically with this question in any dedicated chapter or explanatory passage of the Bible and the Quran respectively? As stated above, these Scriptures had to focus on other aspects of life and spiritualism according to the mandate of God, but the “Geeta” deals with it in length, especially in its 2<sup>nd</sup> and 6<sup>th</sup> Chapters. However, many passages in the Bible and the Quran clearly refer to concepts like “rebirth”, “life again”, “heaven” and “a world beyond this world” and such things, in the same way as “Geeta” also teaches about the power of faith and surrender to God as an ‘under-current’. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-align: justify;"><br />

These 5000000000000000 years will not remain the same always, different experiences will keep us changing and that is like ‘taking many births’…..

Allah said: ‘You tarried for a hundred years. Look at your spoiled food and drink, and your ass.

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New";">This passage has three important messages: 1. Allah can re-shape a thing after its death or destruction, 2. Allah is beyond time and space, and 3. Allah is able to do all things. Thus, what we calculate as ‘one’, ‘two’, and ‘three’ or as ‘first’, ‘second’ and ‘third’ will be quite insignificant for the Supreme. Even in our one lifetime in this birth, we take new births several times. Not only our cells but even our mental dispositions completely change. We rise to a new level of consciousness almost every day. Thus the same eternal soul enters into a new body each time we grow into a teen from a child, into an adult person from a teen, and into an old being from a teenager. In this sequence, death is only a next stage of life after oldness. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New";">It is hurting to know that in many Islamic countries, incidents related to the memories of previous birth are intentionally suppressed because they think it goes against Islam. It equally hurts me to know that many people in India forcefully relate the syndromes of a mental disease to the reminiscences of one’s previous birth. The hesitations of Islam as well as Baha’i Faith are basically due to their belief that <b>‘Nobody can be a partner with God’</b>. They fear that by accepting that an individual soul existed before, they will proclaim its partnership with God. In the same way, the fear of Christianity in accepting reincarnation is that reincarnation believes in gradual evolution of soul, from primal to advanced stages of awareness culminating in <i>‘nirvana’</i> or salvation; whereas Christianity has already concluded that all humans are sinners and no human being can ever achieve that perfect station of a pure soul. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New";">Neither Islam nor Christianity needs to fear, because the truth that every soul existed before in the Great Soul and will eventually blend in the Great Soul has nothing to do with ‘partnership’ with God nor does it argue that one day a soul can be Pure like God. When we dip a million vessels in the sea, each vessel receives a ‘part of the sea’ and yet no vessel is a ‘partner of the sea’. The image of the sun can reflect in a thousand mirrors but no mirror can claim to be a ‘partner’ of the sun. The ‘sea’ contained in the vessel was already in the Sea. The light reflecting in a mirror always belongs to the sun in its originality. The “Geeta” tells us that soul is not something that ‘comes’ or ‘exists’, ‘enters’ or ‘leaves’. It is free from birth and death:</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><b><i><span style="font-family: "Courier New";">This soul is not born in any time nor does it meet death. It is not something that happens (or becomes) or ceases to happen. This soul is free from birth, perpetual, eternal, and timeless. It does not die by the death of the body.</span></i></b><b><span style="font-family: "Courier New";"> </span></b><span style="font-family: "Courier New";">– The Geeta, 2 : 20</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New";">Bodies come and exit, enter or leave. Exactly, as in the case of the mirror and the sun, there is no light in the mirror itself but the light of the sun appears in it. What we know as individual souls of John and Christina, Ramesh and Nina, Saleem and Zena are not, in truth, ‘individual souls’ in the same way as no mirror actually contains any light. When ‘bodies’ appear in any form, the Light of the Truth is shed on them and we see different-different reflections in different-different mirrors. This is only a phantasmagoria, a meaningful phantasmagoria created by God for a purpose – and the purpose is the soul’s realization of love for God. Thus, in actual sense, there is only one SOUL reflecting in all and there is no question of ‘partnership with God’ when ‘partners’ do not even ‘exist’. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New";">In the same way, no soul can ever attain that level of purity which can be acceptable in the holy presence of God. I remember, when I was a middle school student, children of my grade were encouraged to adopt ‘Sanskrit’ as an ‘optional language’. The teachers used to say that those who will opt Sanskrit will get high scores. Really! Students who chose other vernaculars were getting hardly 60-70% while we, who chose ‘Sanskrit’, were scoring beyond 80%. All this ‘encouragement’ was because Sanskrit was becoming an obsolete language by that time and its revival was necessary. In a time when love for God and likeness for being good and noble is becoming outdated, a ‘pure’ soul means even a soul that at least prays sincerely or fulfills some other minimal requirements. This grade of ‘purity’ is nothing to do with soul’s deservingness but, still, God wants to ‘encourage’ this purity in the same way as my teachers wanted to promote ‘Sanskrit’ as a noble language. No doubt, we all are sinners and that’s why the Saviour came to absolve us. It does not mean, however, that we should not try to be ‘pure’. A little effort of the soul in this direction is immensely praiseworthy in the divine realm where kindness rules more than strictness:</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-align: justify;"><br />

There is no need to fear that if we unmoor our boats and sail across the ocean of truth, boldly and adventurously, it will offend Mohammad or displease the Christ, infuriate Baha’u’llah or disgrace Krishna. God Himself is Truth and these Messengers came to show us that Truth only. We really don’t need such Messengers and even God if They revenge upon us for a pure, intent voyage to the shore of truth, but no, we are ourselves afraid and indecisive. How assuring it is to know that truth is unchangeable and all Messengers came from the same Source! It is NOT POSSIBLE that Krishna said something which Mohammad confronted and what Jesus Christ said about the absolute truth was in contradiction with the teachings of Baha’u’llah. But it is POSSIBLE that we might have failed in correlating their basic teachings and in understanding them in their total relativity. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-align: justify;"><br />

Each one seems to be carrying a unique mission, a unique thought pattern, a unique set of actions and reactions. Why does this uniqueness exist? Why all are not the same? And what factors decide each one’s uniqueness? I have observed my own life and the lives of others. There are people who are born with perfections and a magic wand in their hand! And there are people who spend their life wiping the sweat of their brows and finding a petty nickel. We erroneously claim that those who succeed have bought success by paying its cost. Many, many have paid these costs and yet success seems far from them. Many have followed these ‘rules of wealth and success’ but the result was not so great!

You receive the love of your life as easily as a powerful magnet attracts a piece of iron nearby. You become the ‘apple of eye’ of all the people around you. Everything goes as favorably as it is your natural right to get every good of the world. Money flows in your pocket as flowers bloom in spring. You bask in the sun of fame and glory; enjoy praise and approval coming from all sides. Whatever you touch becomes gold. And then, suddenly, the spring turns into autumn. The fondest love of your life is gone and won’t come back even if you scream and lament so deplorably. All the wealth of life evaporates -- wealth not only in the terms of ‘money’ but also in the terms of peace and wellness, charm and glory. All the flowers fade away and only thorns are there to rule. All lights have disappeared and you are enveloped in an abysmal darkness. Even if you touch something with a magic wand, no change is there, oh!

The bird of hope is chirping. There is sunlight, there is music. A new love dawns in your life, a new glory is smiling for you with a dazzling crown in her hands. You get a ‘new life’! Who says ‘life’ is only after ‘death’? Even in this same physical existence I died many times and many times I was re-born. I am the same but not the same today. There is something in me that is intact but still I am completely changed. ‘Death’, as we call and know it, only marks my ‘visible disappearance’ from a manifest state but who knows even that is ‘Life’ though not visible to our earthly eyes! Many times I ‘disappeared’ even when you felt you are seeing me, feeling my presence, but you never knew I have ‘come again’, a completely new being …. and you know not!</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-align: justify;"><br />

But why? Why is it so that we live in the same world, sharing the same resources of nature, basking under the same sunlight, living the same life as everyone else does, subjected to the same universal laws, and yet each one of us is carrying a ‘different world’ around him or her? Why these ups and downs of life come as my individual fate? Why <u>all don’t have the same</u> destiny? If God is Just, as we call Him, why there are so many differences and discriminations? What is the meaning of my individual life and why so?</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-align: justify;"><br />

This book is not written to <u>prove</u> the belief in ‘rebirth’ nor is it written to <u>disprove</u> it. Many close experiences of my life prompted me to write this book based on my own perception and I just responded to this inspiration … realizing it well that I am not at all an authority on this matter. But it is good I am not an authority and so I have no ‘spectacles’. I will have no hesitation to admit, if it is strongly brought to my realization, that my belief in the previous birth and life after death might have been a mistaken belief. I have nothing to defend but my own soul and sincerity. I am here with my eyes open, ears alert, mind free, to investigate into a query that faced me so vehemently. I also know that this universe is like a mirror that reflects our own faith. Those who “don’t want” to believe in this theory or anything, will “never believe” and those who “want to believe” because of their individual needs and tendencies will “always find something” to keep up their belief. This book is a humble tribute to both of them. As said <b>Martin Luther King</b>, <b><i>“Every man must do two things alone - his own believing and his own dying."</i></b> I leave it on you ….

This island is characterized by a morally declining life of most of its people who just pass time in idle gossips, lawlessness, hypocrisy, disorder and a very lewd attitude towards women. The island truly had a glorious past. However, the present scenario was just the opposite. Involved in daily idleness, use of tobacco, opium, drug and similar addictions, they look at women as a mere object of sex. The police, the politicians, the divines, the officers and even the intellectuals, in their own ‘subtle’ and sophisticated ways, are all sunk in the deplorable depth of moral corruption and sexual appetite. And yet, they have a deep sense of pride in their country and its past glory.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="border: none; mso-border-bottom-alt: solid windowtext .75pt; mso-padding-alt: 0in 0in 1.0pt 0in; padding: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Courier New";"><br />
In such a sexually and morally perverted country, there lived a young man, <b><span style="font-family: "Courier New";">Crusado</span></b>, an orphan from childhood, who was depressed to see the condition of his small island, but had no means to fight against the odds. One night when the entire island was fast asleep, an ‘alien aircraft’ (so to say) landed on <b><span style="font-family: "Courier New";">Mount Dondalla</span></b> and <b><span style="font-family: "Courier New";">Rado</span></b>, the god of wrath, brought a horrible <b><span style="font-family: "Courier New";">Dragon </span></b>in the same aircraft and dropping him off on Mount Dondalla to carry out his mission, he rushed back.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="border: none; mso-border-bottom-alt: solid windowtext .75pt; mso-padding-alt: 0in 0in 1.0pt 0in; padding: 0in; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="border: none; mso-border-bottom-alt: solid windowtext .75pt; mso-padding-alt: 0in 0in 1.0pt 0in; padding: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Courier New";">One night a mighty storm swept away many lives in the Island as a part of Nature’s wrath and the horrible Dragon came out of his sleep, giving his first terrifying glimpse to the people. The next night the Dragon appeared before Crusado. The Dragon succeeded in befriending the afraid young man by telling him that he was sent by the <b><span style="font-family: "Courier New";">Super Mind</span></b> (the Dragon’s reference to God) to change the fate of Polititia, and since Crusado was a good soul, the Super Mind had chosen him as His instrument for this change. But for this, Crusado had to pass through a painful process inside him. Though highly scared of this pain and suffering, he loved his country and wanted its emancipation. So he agreed. However, the Dragon also promised him a ‘sweet’ prize on behalf of the Super Mind.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="border: none; mso-border-bottom-alt: solid windowtext .75pt; mso-padding-alt: 0in 0in 1.0pt 0in; padding: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Courier New";"><br />
Another parallel stream of the story begins from France where <b><span style="font-family: "Courier New";">Mr. Jacques Dupont</span></b>, a Professor of Philosophy, is delivering his lecture at a post-graduation session. During his lecture, he refers to Polititia as a country of many philosophical ideas and a rich spiritual heritage. Among his students is <b><span style="font-family: "Courier New";">Vanya Leyland</span></b>, an extremely beautiful widow whose lover husband, <b><span style="font-family: "Courier New";">Anatole</span></b>, died in a shipwreck 18 years ago.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="border: none; mso-border-bottom-alt: solid windowtext .75pt; mso-padding-alt: 0in 0in 1.0pt 0in; padding: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Courier New";"><br />
Now enchanted by Prof. Dupont’s impressions of Polititia, her spiritually athirst heart yearns to travel to this island. Professor Dupont gives her a Research Project and she comes to the island with a great picture in her mind. But as soon as she arrives at Old Chilly airport of Polititia, with her daughter (<b><span style="font-family: "Courier New";">Beatrice</span></b>), all her great images shatter down. She and her daughter were subjected to an attempt of rape by two taxi drivers but a deputy Minister of Polititia was passing with his officers and police bands and they were rescued -- only to fall victims of the Minister, his son and police officers.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="border: none; mso-border-bottom-alt: solid windowtext .75pt; mso-padding-alt: 0in 0in 1.0pt 0in; padding: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Courier New";"><br />
Then again the Dragon appeared before Crusado and changed himself into a human form. The Dragon and Crusado do something to expose the crimes that are going to happen with the two French tourists. It is a whole sequence of tortures and exploitations of these women by the hands of the Minister and his son and even responsible officers …. <b><span style="font-family: "Courier New";">And the revenge of the Dragon!</span></b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="border: none; mso-border-bottom-alt: solid windowtext .75pt; mso-padding-alt: 0in 0in 1.0pt 0in; padding: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Courier New";"><br />
While all this was happening, one fine evening, Crusado had a different feeling. It was then when <b>Atoosa</b>, a beautiful fairy, appeared before him in the form of the <b><span style="font-family: "Courier New";">“Sweet prize of the Super Mind”</span></b> as referred to by the Dragon.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="border: none; mso-border-bottom-alt: solid windowtext .75pt; mso-padding-alt: 0in 0in 1.0pt 0in; padding: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Courier New";"><br />
The sufferings force the French tourists (mother & daughter) to go back to their country but Crusado’s fiancée – <b><span style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-weight: normal;">Atoosa</span></b> - tells them that it will be too cowardice to go like this, leaving the rapists unpunished. So they all unite to punish the culprits. The beautiful fairy fiancée also told Crusado that fighting with these corrupt people in this Dragon-style is not sufficient. The whole system needs to be changed. She asked him to fight for the post of President in the upcoming election. With her one encouragement, she completely changed Crusado’s fate, and proved to be the woman who is always behind the success of a man.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="border: none; mso-border-bottom-alt: solid windowtext .75pt; mso-padding-alt: 0in 0in 1.0pt 0in; padding: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Courier New";"><br />
When these dialogues were on, again the Dragon appeared before Crusado and told him that “I am a very tiny Dragon created by the Super Mind but the actual Dragons are so powerful that they can uproot the mightiest powers on earth”. So who were these <b><span style="font-family: "Courier New";">REAL DRAGONS?</span></b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="border: none; mso-border-bottom-alt: solid windowtext .75pt; mso-padding-alt: 0in 0in 1.0pt 0in; padding: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Courier New";"><br />
The Dragon and Crusado had a video reel which could expose the <b><span style="font-family: "Courier New";">Minister (Pestor Monto).</span></b> He was afraid to know that Crusado enjoyed such a great trust of people. So … there are several sequences of what the Minister does to save his face and eliminate his “enemies”. For this, he even takes help of his spiritual godfather, <b><span style="font-family: "Courier New";">Dhongar Baasha</span></b>, who asks him to “divert people’s attention” from the rape case of the French ladies and cause communal and racial hatred. Ultimately, the Dragon and Crusado expose him. People run to kill the Minister but the Dragon stops them and encourages them to revenge by defeating him in the election.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="border: none; mso-border-bottom-alt: solid windowtext .75pt; mso-padding-alt: 0in 0in 1.0pt 0in; padding: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Courier New";"><br />
Completely run off and witless, the Minister calls his criminal accomplices and opens his treasure to win votes of people by money or by muscle. But now people do what Crusado and Dragon wanted. When money failed, the ‘muscle’ was left. On the vote day, the Minister and his criminals visited several polling booths to intimidate people. The last polling booth was for women and there …. in a dramatic sequence … all women turn into Dragons and pounce at the Minister and his criminal fellows. And now all were Dragons … all chasing the sinister minister. The election result was announced. Crusado won the election and was declared the President. While pledging himself for serving the best interests of Polititia, he asks people to swear three things to give them ultimate freedom from corrupt Pestor Montos. <b><span style="font-family: "Courier New";">WHAT ARE THESE THREE OATHS????</span></b><b><br />
</b><br />
When all this was happening, there was a foreigner beggar who was living in Polititia since long and nobody knew his whereabouts. He seemed mad and did not even speak. As all people had thronged to the festive scenario where Crusado was swearing in as the President, he was also there standing in the queue of beggars and was now walking along. <b><span style="font-family: "Courier New";">WHO WAS THIS EXOTIC BEGGAR …. A GUITARIST OF LOVE!! How did he come there? Does the smell of love fade when time passes by? </span></b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="border: none; mso-border-bottom-alt: solid windowtext .75pt; mso-padding-alt: 0in 0in 1.0pt 0in; padding: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Courier New";"><br />
There was also a madman in that island named <b><span style="font-family: "Courier New";">Hottpeter</span></b>. Long ago, his forefathers had a small ‘kingdom’ and a rich life but now those days were gone. This madman mentally lived in that past of glory, but his present was so bad that even for a little wine, he had to flatter around people. People teased him, children made fun. He is an interesting character with lots of funny stories about his elephant. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="border: none; mso-border-bottom-alt: solid windowtext .75pt; mso-padding-alt: 0in 0in 1.0pt 0in; padding: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Courier New";"><br />
</span><b><span style="color: black; font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 15.5pt;">……. And now the Dragon had to return when his mission was done. By this time he had fallen in love with the people of island. DID HE GO? WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM? The story ends with blended feelings of tragedy and comedy and leaves the audience well-suggested that even though the story has ended … it has NOT ENDED. The Dragon’s traits will continue till he has revenged the FIVE ANTI-DECENCY, ANTI-HUMAN AND CORRUPT GROUPS.</span></b><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="HI" style="font-family: Mangal;">एक रात जब यह सारा द्वीप गहरी नींद में सो रहा था, किसी अज्ञात देश से एक विमान माउंट डौंडाला पर आकर उतरता है और क्रोध का देवता - <b>रैडो</b> </span>–<span lang="HI" style="font-family: Mangal;"> उस विमान में एक <b>ड्रैगन</b> को लेकर आता है और उसे अपना मिशन पूरा करने के लिए डौंडाला पर्वत पर छोड़कर वापस चला जाता है। </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="HI" style="font-family: Mangal;">एक रात प्रकृति का कोप एक जबर्दस्त आंधी के रूप में प्रकट होता है और वह भयावह ड्रैगन अपनी नींद से जागता है। पहली बार वह पॉलिटीशिया के लोगों को अपनी झलक दिखाता है। अगली रात वही ड्रैगन क्रूसेडो के सामने आता है और यह कहकर उसे अपना मित्र बना लेता है कि <b>’सुपरमाइंड’</b> (ईश्वर) ने उसे पॉलिटीशिया की तकदीर बदलने के लिए यहां भेजा है, और चूंकि क्रूसेडो एक अच्छा इन्सान है इसलिए ’सुपरमाइंड’ ने उसे इस परिवर्तन के एक साधन के रूप में चुना है। लेकिन इसके लिए क्रूसेडो को अपने भीतर एक दर्द की प्रक्रिया से गुजरना होता है। हालांकि क्रूसेडो के मन में इस दर्द से डर जरूर है लेकिन उसे अपने देश से प्यार है और इसलिए वह यह दर्द झेलने को तैयार हो जाता है। दूसरी ओर, ड्रैगन उसे ’सुपरमाइंड’ की ओर से एक ’मधुर उपहार’ का आश्वासन भी देता है। </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="HI" style="font-family: Mangal;">इस कहानी के साथ ही एक समानांतर कथा <b>फ्रांस</b> देश से शुरू होती है जहां <b>मि. जैक्विस ड्यूपौंट</b> दर्शनशास्त्र के एक प्रोफेसर हैं और पोस्ट-ग्रैज्युएट छात्रों के सामने अपना लेक्चर दे रहे हैं। अपने इस व्याख्यान के दौरान प्रोफेसर ड्यूपौंट पॉलिटीशिया देश का उल्लेख करते हैं जो उनकी दृष्टि में दार्शनिक विचारों और समृद्ध आध्यात्मिक विरासत वाला देश है। उनके छात्रों में से एक है <b>वान्या लीलैंड</b>, एक खूबसूरत युवा विधवा, जिसका पति <b>अनातोले</b> </span>18<span lang="HI" style="font-family: Mangal;"> साल पहले एक जहाज दुर्घटना में मारा गया था। पॉलिटीशिया के बारे में प्रोफेसर ड्यूपौंट के विचारों से प्रभावित वान्या आध्यात्मिक तृष्णा से भर जाती है और पॉलिटीशिया द्वीप की यात्रा के लिए लालायित हो उठती है। लेकिन अपनी बेटी <b>बीट्रिश</b> के साथ पॉलिटीशिया के <b>ओल्ड चिली </b>एयरपोर्ट पर उतरते ही उसके मन में समाई पॉलिटीशिया की भव्य छवि धराशायी होने लगती है। वह और उसकी बेटी दो टैक्सी ड्राइवरों की वासना की शिकार होने से बचती हैं। उन्हें बचाते हैं पॉलिटीशिया के एक उपमंत्री और उनके अधिकारी </span>–<span lang="HI" style="font-family: Mangal;"> ताकि वे दोनों <u>उनकी</u> वासना के शिकार बन सकें। </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="HI" style="font-family: Mangal;">जब यह सबकुछ हो रहा है तो उधर क्रूसेडो के मन में एक मीठी-सी हलचल भी उठ रही थी। यही वह दौर है जब एक खूबसूरत परी </span>–<span lang="HI" style="font-family: Mangal;"> <b>अतूसा</b> </span>–<span lang="HI" style="font-family: Mangal;"> मानवी रूप में उसके सामने प्रकट होती है और इस तरह क्रूसेडो को ’सुपरमाइंड’ द्वारा प्रतिज्ञापित ’मधुर उपहार’ मिलता है। </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br />
</div><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"> </span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;">When I was a child, one of the many things that excited my imagination was a railway train. Its vibrant rustling noise would invite me near the track and fervently watch it run with a pace of fleeting time and leaving behind the throbbing impressions of a gone-by dream. My cousin, who was four years elder to me, often accompanied me. It was he who pointed to me how mighty was the engine that could pull the long train comprised of so many bogies. I know he was as wise as all other elders who, in their utter ignorance, impart a basically wrong knowledge into the minds of their inferiors. And I was as foolish as any other child of my age that even after watching the train-driver throwing coals into the big burning hole, could never realize that an engine has no power in itself to pull the train. It is the STEAM that makes miracles, and nowadays when steam-trains have ceased to be, the same role is being played by ELECTRICITY. <b>The energy that actually pulls the train is, thus, far subtle, more powerful and yet hidden from our bare eyes</b>.</span></div><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"> </span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"> </span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;">For ages, our ‘elders’ have been teaching us that the fluency and potency in our writing comes by our sound knowledge of grammar, rich vocabulary and ample understanding of sentence structures. They are not wrong ... but once again, the glory of ENGINE is being sung and even though every careful student agrees to the fact that in spite of all grammatical and compositional tactics they have failed in writing even a paragraph of abiding impression, they have not been able to grasp the power actually being exercised by some hidden ‘steam’, some obscure ‘electricity’.</span></div><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"> </span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"> </span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;">The engine is very important for the running of a train because it has devices and receptacles to control and receive the power generated by steam or electricity but if there is no “power”, then? A sound knowledge of grammar, a wonderful mastery in vocabulary, a deep understanding of syntax are all very important if one wants to improve one’s writing but <b>the power of writing comes from a simpler and subtler entity – a desire to write well</b>.</span></div><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"> </span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"> </span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;">This book is not written to threaten and intimidate the readers by giving them the wrong information that the engine pulls the train but to unburden their minds by rightly advising them that the ‘power’ to write well is within their grasp, in the reach of their own heart. This book deals with some basic, simple and genuinely tested ‘elements’ that foster the readers’ desire in this direction and help them identify how to generate and regulate the ‘power’ that is behind a good writing. </span></div><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"> </span><br />

This is not a <i>‘bank’</i> of ‘pre-written’ materials for <i>‘rush-and-carry’</i> customers. <b>A WRITER’S MANUAL<sup> </sup></b>is a book that lovingly and systematically teaches you <u>how to write anything easily and comfortably</u> using your own knowledge and imagination. This is a <b>self-help book</b> for those who really feel that expressing things in an effective and touching way is all what they want. </span></div><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"> </span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;">Its mastermind approach makes it a profitable book for almost all sorts of learners – <b>high school children, college students, office clerks and correspondents, housewives seeking self-learning, secretaries, content writers, press reporters, and anyone on this earth </b>who thinks he or she is in a <i>learning stage</i> irrespective of age, gender, nationality, education or occupation. </span></div><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"> </span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;">This book will <u>NOT</u> make you a prolific writer or a talented penman <u>unless you feel that urge and desire in your own heart</u>. <b>Great writers are born but good writers are made</b>. Moreover, this one book in itself cannot guarantee your full success as a writer. First of all, there are many – and more scholarly and usefully written – books on this subject from renowned writers that you must read and, secondly, becoming a good writer is a continuous journey. No matter how many books you have read, you are still a learner. </span></div><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"> </span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;">This is just a capsule book which teaches you <u>some most basic elements that make out a good writer</u> and helps you intensify your desire to learn more by yourself. The interesting fact is that the greatest things in the universe are the simplest things. There should be no fear, no hesitation because you don’t need so much <b><i>‘knowledge’</i></b> for writing than you need a <b><i>‘desire’</i></b> to say something. In this fun-filled journey of <b>A WRITER’S MANUAL</b> you will not only learn how to write well but also explore many hidden qualities of your own. THAT’S THE MAGIC OF THIS BOOK. </span></div><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"> </span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;">To reap the best of this book, <b>BE A TRUE STUDENT!</b> You need to follow every rule, every exercise. Even if you consider something very easy or ‘not-important’, do follow the rule, complete each <b>Exercise</b>, act on each <b>Assignment</b>. The psychology behind any serious achievement is complete obedience, submission, dedication, care and willingness to be patient and diligent. By following each exercise, you will be demonstrating these qualities and, hence, will be entitled to gain proficiency. All <b>Assignments</b> are not necessarily based on the information supplied in this book. They rather tend to encourage the students and readers to develop their own creativity and learn to find their own resources. </span></div><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"> </span><br />

Without READING, there can be no knowledge. Of course, in the history of humankind, there have been people who were not <i>‘well-read’</i> and still they possessed such knowledge as even the universities would envy them. Go and look into the records of personalities like <b>Saint Kabirdas, Joan of Arc, William Shakespeare, Tagore, Kalidas</b>, and hosts of other men of letters in the areas of science, industries, arts and literature, politics and economics and so on. You will see that many of them did not ‘read’ even high school books and yet they imparted matchless knowledge and insight to the human world.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">The Microsoft Chairman and one of the richest persons of the world, <b>Bill Gates</b>, does not hail from a ‘great’ academic background. The engineers working under him are ten times more educated than him. Same is the story of <b>Michael Dell</b>, founder of Dell, Inc. – a company famous for its laptops – who did not complete his college. <b>Henry Ford</b> fulfilled his dream of making “horseless” carts by making Ford Motors a worldwide success, but he did not succeed in acquiring even a high school degree. A figure parallel to Ford who, too, became a legendary wealthy man of the world was <b>Rockefeller</b>. Stepping into his shoes, India’s <b>Dhirubhai Ambani</b>, the founder of Reliance Industries, made an empire from scratch. Both were rarely educated. One of the richest men in Russia, <b>Roman Abramovich</b>, was dropped out of college. Many successful actors and actresses of the world cinema, including <b>Halle Berry, Mina Kumari, Anthony Andrews, Jack Albertson, Woody Allen, Ben Affleck, Tom Hanks, Dilip Kumar, Marilyn Monroe, Julie Andrews, Jennifer Aniston</b> and (the list is endless..) …. did not have any mentionable educational background. Another striking example is of <b>Mark Zuckerberg, </b>the founder of the social networking site Facebook. He is among the youngest Billionaire on Forbes’ list. Though he’s not highly educated, his idea of Facebook tipped him to join the rank of 400 richest people of the USA. Many writers, like <b>Hans Christian Anderson</b>, who became shining stars of the literary firmament, never had proper schooling. <b>Rabindra Nath Tagore</b>, the Nobel Prize winner poet laureate of India, used to escape school and play out with children. Several sportsmen like <b>Andre Agassi</b> and <b>Sachin Tendulkar</b> had no worthwhile schooling. The scientists were no exception. <b>Albert Einstein</b>, considered to be a genius of his time and even today, was nothing but a child <b><i>“mentally slow, unsociable and adrift forever in his foolish dreams“</i></b>, according to his teacher. <b>Thomas Alva Edison</b>, the most renowned of all scientists for his hundreds of useful inventions, had hearing problem, was scoffed by his classmates, and had to leave school. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">This is not even a fraction of the entire list of great people who never received any formal education. Some of them were not even able to ‘READ’ a letter. Thus, it suggests that <b>‘Reading’ does not mean reading ‘books’ only</b>. It is said that each man, nay, each creature, in this universe is a ‘book’. Each event has a story to tell, each atom has treasures inside it. Even though these successful people, as mentioned above, did not ‘read’ so many books, they did ‘read’ more important things of life. They ‘read’ human hearts, they ‘read’ the hidden principles of success, they ‘read’ the laws of nature, they ‘read’ the ups and downs of their life and abstracted the clandestine <i>‘mantras’ </i>of their inner power. So, could you understand now that without <u>reading</u> there can be no knowledge? </span><span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">If you want to be a good writer, READ everything … every person … every object … every character … every face … every tear … every smile … everything that attracts you.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">However, in a general sense, READING applies to reading of books. The first thing to know in this connection is that whatever we read, occupies the ‘outer level’ of our mind. When we visit a big office, the first establishment we come across is a small but attractive ‘Reception’ area. The Receptionist has <u>all information</u> to be able to respond to your basic queries – where to go for a certain work, whom to meet, what are the procedures, and all sorts of important things! The Receptionist cannot give you a detailed or ‘in-depth’ answer. For that, you have to visit inside and see the right officials. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><b><i><span style="color: black; font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">Reading</span></i></b><b><i><span style="color: black; font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";"> is like a Receptionist ...</span></i></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">READING</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";"> is like a Receptionist, sitting somewhere in the outer area of the mind and knowing the basics of many things. <u>Reading</u><u> can guide you but it alone cannot give you profound knowledge and insight. It only activates the ‘information centre’ of the mind</u>. Thus, <i>“reading maketh a full man”</i> – full with information and references!</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">Howbeit, Reading and writing are closely associated with each other. The more you have read, the better you can write. <b>Allan W. Eckert</b> said: <b><i>“If you’d be a writer, first be a reader. Only through the assimilation of ideas, thoughts and philosophies can one begin to focus his own ideas, thoughts and philosophies.”</i></b> Thus, the role of Reading is very clear and can be summed up as such:</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><br />

Sometimes, these thoughts have a lifelong influence on us and they make our ‘core values’. That’s why it is important to be careful of what we are reading.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="background: silver; color: black; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">When we read different writers, different thought-patterns are imbibed in our mind. To accept some of these thoughts and refuse or neutralize others, our mind assumes an active role. Thus, our own rational power grows and our individual thoughts and principles are crystallized. </span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="background: silver; color: black; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">What we read most, we become.

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><b><i><span style="color: black; font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">What’s ‘Active Reading’?</span></i></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">When Reading is such an important factor in making successful writers, it must be given a <u>planned attention</u> in the life of every student -- children and youths in particular because they are truly free enough to enjoy reading. They are also receptive and curious and if they choose good books, their fertile minds will soon become a <i>‘Greenland’</i> of wonderful ideas, imaginations and thoughts that will change the world. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">A planned attention on reading means doing <b>ACTIVE READING</b>. When you read actively, you follow these <b><u>FOUR STEPS</u></b>:</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><br />
</div><ol start="1" style="margin-top: 0in;" type="1"><li class="MsoNormal" style="background: silver; color: black; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo2; tab-stops: list .5in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">You observe the style of that particular writer and if you come across some beautiful, appealing expressions you <b>pen them down in a notebook</b>. Later, you write several sentences of your own on the same patterns. For example, take this oft-quoted line of </span><span class="hw"><b><span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">Jeanne Manon Philipon</span></b></span><span class="hw"><span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";"> (better known as Madame Roland): <b><i>“O Liberty! What crimes are committed in thy name!”</i></b></span></span><span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";"> See, how “Liberty” has been personified and has been associated with an irony (crime committed in her name). Or observe this piece of a poem of <b>Surdas</b>, a Hindi poet: <b><i>“O Krishna, Why you go to play so far? Today, I heard, a bugaboo has come in the jungle, you don’t know, My Child!”</i></b><i> (</i></span><i><span style="color: windowtext;">Khelat door jaat kit kanha … aaj sunyo ban haoo ayo tu nahi janat nanha). </span></i><b><i><span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";"> </span></i></b><span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">See, how Krishna’s mother alarms him to keep away from going far! Observe the simplicity and beauty of motherly love! According to your aptitude, many such expressions can be striking to you.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="background: silver; color: black; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo2; tab-stops: list .5in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">You also develop a special aptitude for a particular writer and read lots of books of that very writer. In this way, that writer becomes your <b>‘Role Model in Writing’</b>, so to say, and even without knowing you start reflecting his or her style, thoughts and modes of expression. <u>In the beginning, it seems like imitation, but gradually your own individuality crystallizes</u>. Eventually, your own ‘class’ is created, your personal thoughts are solidified and your own unique character as a writer begins to take shape. It will be worthwhile to note here, that this <i>Role Model</i> approach is almost essential and natural for everyone who has become a man of essence in any field. Name any great politician you know, he had a <i>Guru</i> whom he followed. Name any great actor or actress, he or she stepped in the shoes of an actor gone before. Name any striking sports star, you can find his source of inspiration in a player of the past. Every great writer bloomed following another great writer. <u>This is a process and not an imitation</u>. It becomes imitation only when the person does not learn anything, does not let his own personality grow, and, naturally, in that case, he never becomes anything great.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="background: silver; color: black; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo2; tab-stops: list .5in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">You dare beyond your selected reading and once or twice try to read something that you usually did not care for. It means trying a new subject you are not very interested in but which is not for you distasteful, too. For example, may be you always like to read fiction. You also have a favorite writer in this area whom you appreciate and who has become your ‘Role Model in Writing’. However, in this third step of Active Reading you choose, once or twice a month, to read a different thing, say, a non-fiction book or a motivational book of some kind. You usually don’t like reading non-fiction but they are not at all a taboo for you. <u>When we dare to read beyond our ‘favorite’ area, we expand our mind and its attitudinal dimensions.</u> We learn new vocabularies and terminologies, new ways of expressions. </span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="background: silver; color: black; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo2; tab-stops: list .5in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">When the third stage is passed, Active Reading takes you to a more difficult but versatile level of reading. Even though no writer can be a ‘Jack of all trades’ and, it is true, that every writer specializes in his or her own area, there is no harm in expanding our horizon of knowledge and see if new thoughts, new jargons, new phrases and slang enrich our writing style. To this effect, sometimes - if not often - every person yearning to be an empowered writer must tread beyond his ‘comfort zone’ and try to read something ‘contrary to his taste’. For example, may be you have no interest at all in a science fiction or a sport-related article. <u>To become versatile, one must digest diversities</u>. For this reason, you may do a favor to yourself and dedicate at least a day in a month to read a book ‘contrary to your taste’. In this way, you will master even more insipid words, learn even more diverse syntaxes and, above all, <u>you will be able to expand your mind to incorporate thoughts and information from additional areas of life</u>. </span></li>
</ol><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">The keynote to remember is that <b>diversity in reading brings diversity in writing</b>. In brief, Active Reading involves two types of Reading – Choice Reading and Forced Reading. Choice Reading helps to develop your inherent qualities, and Forced Reading expands your mind to be able to respond to writing needs often demanded by an occasion, such as examinations, news reporting, etc. Students appearing for the regular school examinations or selected exams like IELTS, TOEFL, etc. do not always have to write on the subjects of their choice. They have to be able to express their ideas on diverse topics, not necessarily evoking their interest. It is through FORCED READING that one can develop such a ready penmanship often demanded by these crucial exams. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><b><i><span style="color: black; font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">Reading</span></i></b><b><i><span style="color: black; font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";"> evokes imagination…</span></i></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">Another important benefit of Reading is that it evokes our imagination. Each writer is a creator. He or she ushers us into a new world hitherto unknown. For example, in her famous <b>Harry Potter</b> books, <b>J.K. Rowling</b> takes you to a magical world which was unimaginable to you before. <b>Alice</b><b> in Wonderland, Gulliver’s Travels, The Panchatantra</b> – all reveal to us a unique world characterized by their own respective phenomenal auras and ambiences. When you read, you imagine and imagination is the best friend of the writers. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">Furthermore, as we keep on reading, we come across myriads of personalities and, in a way, interact with them. Great characters like Hamlet, Devdas, Sindabad, Arjuna, Hanuman, Shantanu, Izmeralda, Lucy, Ali Baba, Hatim Tai, Hercules, </span><span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">Max Demian</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";"> and so many others have not just meant to us an imaginary character of a poetry, drama or fiction but they occupy a corner in our heart. We think of them, sympathize with them, make them our heroes or heroines, we see our own image in their eminent personalities. In this way, we ‘co-relate’ with the emotions and feelings of others, and this susceptibility is a vital property for all writers.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><b><i><span style="color: black; font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">Shun television and movies; don’t kill your imagination…</span></i></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">Long before the age of television and cinema, people were just fond of reading. They were in the trains, in trams or buses, in their bed-room or study room, holding a book in their hands, reading and imagining the characters that were described. If it was a story of <b>Krishna</b>, the reader had his own unique image of Krishna. If it was the brave <b>Sindbad</b> the sailor, they were well imagining his adventuresome spirit, his traits and qualities along the pages they were turning curiously. A serious and complex character like Shakespeare’s <b>Hamlet</b>, for grown-up readers, was visualized in their own mind’s aptitudes and dimensions, colored according to each reader’s personal tastes and tints. <b>Sharat Chandra</b>’s tragic-romantic character, <b>Devdas</b>, used to be a unique personality for the keen readers. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">Then everything changed. A director appeared and <i>‘moulded’</i> Krishna and His greatness in an imitative and often ridiculous role of a mortal hero who could be anyone ranging from <b>Dhriti Bhatia</b> to <b>Meghan Jadhav</b> or from <b>Swapnil Joshi</b> to <b>Sarvadaman Banerjee</b>. Now, especially for Children, Krishna can never re-appear in His original greatness as visualized in their unprejudiced minds. Whenever they will close their eyes to see that divine beauty, a <b>Nitish Bhardwaj</b> will smile. And, may be, in one of these ‘glimpses’, Lord Krishna will also be contesting an election! And, a bunch of other film-makers sprang up to show the dualism and hesitation, skepticism and inner conflict, shock and trauma of Hamlet in over dozens of versions though none of them – including <b>Laurence Olivier, Edwin Booth</b> or <b>Morris Hunt</b> -- could be as perfect as a reader’s own view in his mind of the poor Hamlet. In the like manner, the<i> Devdas</i> that we see in the Indian cinema deprives us from <i>individually</i> imagining and understanding the real pains and tragedies that a character of <b>Sharat Chandra</b> could have suffered. From <b>Phani Sharma</b> to <b>K.L. Saigal</b> and from <b>Dilip Kumar</b> to <b>Shahrukh Khan</b> and <b>Zara Shaikh</b>, no one can match the exactness of Devdas that he really was or could be for each individual reader. Sindbad’s real personality was replaced by a <b>Douglas Fairbanks</b> or another like him and the same happened with many immortal characters that could mean something else for us but were ‘imposed’ on our minds as a different, limited, stunted personalities ‘carved out’ by a cinema or television tycoon.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">This is not to say that television and cinema should be banned or that they are useless. It is also agreeable that in many cases the film versions of a story have proved to be more influential than the real story itself. The purpose is only to outline that when we read, our imagination is set free and it colors the characters and places, events and emotions according to our own inner conceptions. At the same time, another reader has a different conception. Our imaginative skills are developed. Our mind uses its own canvas, its own palettes and hues, its own brushes and blends. However, when we watch a television show or a movie, our freedom of creativity is taken away under a clever plot. Our canvas and palettes are snatched away. We are given colored specks to wear and see the characters as the directors would like us to see. If you will consider this condition with regard to children, who are easily influenced by the way things are presented to them, you will appreciate what type of a serious ‘mental killing’ is this! A new word should be discovered – <b>IMAGINICIDE</b> – as these mediums of entertainment are truly killing the imaginations a child could have. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">Ample focus on reading is the only remedy to prevent this <i>Imaginicide</i>. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">The benefits of Reading are manifold. It is sufficient to say that Reading is a two-dimensional journey at the same time – a journey in the outer world, the world of knowledge and information and also a journey inside your own self, exploring your own likes and dislikes, strengths and weaknesses. In this way, you become a “full man”. Isn’t it exciting? </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><br />
