In moments of reflection, it is only natural to wonder what is the true purpose in life and to ask, behind the constant efforts made just in “living”, what is it that we are seeking? In the book “Self Realization”, Gnani Purush (embodiment of Self knowledge) Dada Bhagwan reveals the science of Self realization, describing that attaining knowledge of Self is ultimate life purpose, and is the beginning of lasting, permanent happiness. Dadashri explains that all beings continuously seek happiness – but can only be satisfied by spiritual happiness beyond the fleeting temporary pleasures of life. Becoming Self realized is a spiritual awakening which allows such happiness to begin to be experienced – because true happiness, or bliss, lies within the Self itself. Having gained Self knowledge, spiritual development and spiritual awareness begin - initiating a spiritual transformation which can result in ultimate liberation, or moksha. Whether interested to discover ultimate life purpose, wanting to learn the true meaning of spirituality, or on a spiritual quest to attain spiritual enlightenment, “Self Realization” is a unique resource among the many spiritual books available today.

Wenn ein Leben nur in der Lüge möglich ist In dem Moment, als auf der Grand Trunk Road Schüsse zu hören sind, beginnt Nargis' Leben zu zerbrechen. Ihr Ehemann gelangt versehentlich ins Kreuzfeuer und stirbt, bevor sie ihm die Wahrheit über ihre Vergangenheit beichten kann. Schon seit Längerem fürchtet sie, dass diese bald ans Licht kommen wird: Ein Unbekannter verkündet regelmäßig Geheimnisse der Anwohner vom Minarett der örtlichen Moscheen und versetzt damit Muslime und Christen gleichermaßen in Angst. Als die Lautsprecher die verbotene Liaison ihres Nachbarn mit der Tochter des muslimischen Geistlichen aufdecken, sind die Einschläge so nah, dass Nargis handeln muss ... In der für ihn typischen leuchtenden Prosa erzählt Nadeem Aslam eine Geschichte über Fanatismus, Widerstandsvermögen und die Lügen, die manchmal nötig sind, um zu überleben. Ein mutiger, zeitgemäßer und schmerzlich schöner Roman, in dem sich Pakistans Vergangenheit und Gegenwart spiegeln.

Detektivarbeit ist kein Kinderspiel. Der neunjährige Jai schaut zu viele Polizei-Dokus, denkt, er sei klüger als seine Freundin Pari (obwohl sie immer die besten Noten bekommt) und hält sich für einen besseren Anführer als Faiz (obwohl Faiz derjenige mit zwei älteren Brüdern und einem echten Job ist). Als ein Junge aus ihrer Klasse verschwindet, beschließt Jai, sein Fernsehwissen zu nutzen, um ihn zu finden. Mit Pari und Faiz an seiner Seite wagt er sich in den verwinkelten Bhoot-Basar und dann weiter hinaus in die verbotenen Viertel der Stadt. Doch mehr und mehr Kinder verschwinden, und die Dinge in der Nachbarschaft werden kompliziert ... "Die Detektive vom Bhoot-Basar" erzählt von den Farben und Widersprüchen des heutigen Indien, von sozialen und religiösen Spannungen, Korruption und Ungerechtigkeit, vor allem aber von der unbesiegbaren Vitalität dreier Kinder, von deren Wagemut, Unschuld und überbordender Phantasie. Ein literarisches Debüt von besonderer emotionaler Tiefe, schon vor dem Erscheinen viele Male ausgezeichnet und bislang in 16 Sprachen übersetzt. Deepa Anappara bringt einen wahren Kriminalfall und eine mitreißende Coming-of-Age-Story zusammen mit der Magie einer großen Erzählung. Ein seltenes Glück.
