The Path To Good
Health And Inner Peace
Therefore people are constantly in search of an alternative that would be more effective with nil or negligible side effects. This is where the alternate medicine comes into play. There are numerous traditional and non-traditional therapies like Ayurveda, aroma-therapy, homoeopathy, crystal therapy, Reiki etc. The author stresses upon the need for achieving inner peace in order to facilitate natural healing of one’s body and mind. This book also provides details of various fruits, flowers and herbs that can be useful in different therapeutic processes. Cop At Large
In this collection the author, when he gets selected for the IPS, realises that he has more relatives and friends than he had ever imagined; there are sermons by a jee-huzoor daroga on practical policing not found in any manual or law book; playing cupid — police style — gets the young IPS a rather acrid feedback from the intended beneficiaries. There are amusing pieces on family life, society and politics triggering off chuckles and chortles. Interestingly, Zaidi looks young in the snap. Because he has sense of humour? Or, perhaps, in the words of the Irish playwright Brendan Behan, "A thing of duty is a boy for ever." This collection should keep you smiling for a long time. Precious Gems of
Wisdom: Guru Nanak
Guru Nanak composed and recorded about 400 hymns, which celebrate the unity and uniqueness of God or the Akal Purakh — the Timeless One — who is the true lord of the universe. God’s concern for His creation goes hand in hand with the idea of human responsibility. The hymns state the way human beings should live in this God-created world. Liberation is attained by living actively as an individual who is at once part of a family and a community, and is guided by a strict code of ethical conduct built on the values of hard work, charity, and service to humanity. Vishwanathan discerns socialistic streak in his precepts and practices. This volume provides English version of Guru Nanak’s select sermons. The language is lucid and lyrical.

With
increasing tensions in everyday life health and peace of mind have
become vital. There are different ways in which one can achieve this
— leisure activities, yoga and meditation. But when one is struck
down with an illness the response is almost Pavlovian — visit an
allopath. However, allopathy’s sideeffects can be deadlier than the
original ailment.
"Humorous
cop" is a phenomenon that Mother Nature allows, but grudgingly.
Zaidi is one such. His book is a collection of rib-ticklers. They are,
variously, self-mocking, satirical, tongue-in-cheek — inexorably
impelling one to look at the flip-side of a cop’s stereotyped image
reinforced by observations like "I have never seen a situation so
dismal that a policeman couldn’t make it worse" (Flann O’Brien,
Irish novelist and journalist); or "One always has the air of
someone who is lying when one speaks to a policeman"
(Charles-Louis Philippe, French novelist).
Guru
Nanak (1469-1539), Sikhism’s first Guru, was born in a Hindu Bedi
Khatri family in Rai Bhoeki Talwandi — present day Nankana Sahib. He
received his early education at the village temple as well as the
mosque. Cunningham observes, "There is a reason to believe that
in his youth he made himself familiar with the popular creeds both of
Mohammadans and the Hindus and that he gained a general knowledge of
the Koran and Brahmanical shastras". Towards the end of the
1490s, Nanak had a strong spiritual experience that impelled him to
travel to distant lands. This phase lasted for around 20 years.
