Imagine a vault so cavernous that it could contain all the world's greatest treasures and relics, from mummified remains of ancient monarchs to glistening swords brandished by legendary warriors.

This book offers a semiotically informed ethnographic study of contemporary culture in Rajasthan and India. It adapts the methodology of analyzing cultures found in Roland Barthes' semiotic portrait of Japanese culture, "Empire of Signs", but adds an analysis of lifestyles as explicated in the work of social anthropologist Mary Douglas, political scientist Aaron Wildavsky, and a number of other social scientists. This manuscript is, at first, a guide to Rajasthan and India, and it is that but it is also more in that it considers tourism from both an anthropological and sociological level.Berger begins with statistics on tourism and other aspects of life in Rajasthan and India, and then considers how tourism in India compares with tourism in other important tourism destinations. He refers to the "Imaginary India" as the picture created in tourists' minds with the help of guidebooks, media, and the Internet before they actually travel to India. He then discusses these representations and how they are actually different from the country itself. The trip itself then becomes the search for the authentic India - the goal is to find places before they are discovered. He calls this "Semiotic Rajasthan," where the representations are compared to actuality.After offering a discussion of semiotic theory, it interprets and analyzes a number of important aspects of Rajasthani and Indian culture such as: the Taj Mahal, the Palace of Winds in Jaipur, the notorious rat temple in Deshnok, and sacred cows. Lastly, he discusses his own trip and how the impact of Rajasthan did not fully register until he returned home.This manuscript's strength lies in the author's ability to write in an accessible manner, assemble the project in an interesting way, and include only that information which will guide the reader along the narrative trail. While this manuscript really is a guidebook to Rajasthan, it could also serve as a good introduction to ethnography for beginning students and an interested general audience. It moves from basic explanations, such as that of semiotics, to complex applications all with the grace of good story telling.
Under the shadow of the turbulent 1960s, this is my story of a journey through village India as an American Peace Corp Volunteer. I graduated college in 1966 with no idea of what I wanted to do in life. I asked the Peace Corps to send me to a place that was more different than anything I had ever known. I got what I asked for. India unfolded into a kaleidoscope of fascinating people and unforgettable scenes in a culture that never failed to amaze me. The sights, smells, and sounds of village India offer the backdrop of what happened, some stories quite incredible, but all true. After two years, I was infused with the spiritual and mystical quality that was, and still is, India--something that is almost beyond explaining. It cannot be found by touring India or even visiting an ashram, but only by living there, learning the local language, and being with Indians in their homes and work. Forty-four years after leaving the Peace Corps I returned to village India. Surprisingly, very little had changed. All of the profits from the sale of this book will be donated to the Vishwa Bharati non-profit village school in Anavatti, India; and to the School of Social Work at the University of North Carolina Wilmington, to support students and faculty in visiting India.
This is a 'light-hearted' look at a possible event in Thailand's not-so-distant past, and is a tale of people whose paths have crossed by circumstances and logical events. The story begins with a hunt for a particular 'brick' that came from a temple on the border of Cambodia and Thailand, and takes this group of people on a mystical, and sometimes improbable, journey back to the original temple site in a hunt for the secrets hidden at the temple............

Do you ever think about solid ground? The author of this book does, a lot. Providing solid ground for consciousness is the umbilican function, he says. On January 1, 2020, the long-awaited Golden Age began. So did intense opposition to it from the shadows. It was like a thousand iron heels trying to stamp out spring blossoms. The dark forces exerted their manipulations in the outer world. The angelic contingent counterpointed in the subtle realm. The Earth wobbled. This is an insider’s report from three men who worked alongside the “good guys” to adjust the planet’s Light grid to better support the flowering of human consciousness that had been intended for this date and to resist, even undermine, the infernal opposition. These “good guy” benefactors included angels, archangels, the Great White Brotherhood, even some of the friendly Dead. Ronald, our narrator, with Joe and Mike, his dependable pals, call themselves geomantic engineers. They work on the Light grid, the subtle energy infrastructure of the Earth that supports the material world. They’re like electric utility pole linemen, up there in their extendable buckets, but their main tools are clairvoyance and knowledge of the mechanics of the planet’s many Light temples and systems. Ronald provides a vivid field account of an astonishing array of geomantic interventions and “adjustments” made in the last several years to shore up that potentially fabulous Golden Age, despite the dark forces’ protracted attempts to derail and smash it. The struggle reveals an Earth like you’ve never seen before. Our planet was designed to keep consciousness aligned with the spiritual world, galaxy, and beyond. People were supposed to feel firmly anchored in their bodies and planet. The Earth was meant to be the “gate of the gods,” the original pure meaning of Babylon. In recent centuries, that smooth reciprocal relationship has been upset. Light forces are trying to uplift awareness, dark forces to suppress it. Jump into Ronald’s riveting account to see how it all plays out.
