Till Kingdom Come by Lokesh Ohri Pdf

Hinduism, as is well known, has taken a multitude of shapes and forms. Some Hindu "little traditions" have remained obscure or understudied to this day due to their regional remoteness. One such offshoot is the influential cult of Mahasu, which has existed since medieval times in a part of the western Himalaya. The deity at the core of the cult takes the form of four primary Mahasus with territorial influence, installed in various far-flung temples. Their geographical center is the village of Hanol, and the larger territory is integrated into the Mahasu politico-religious system by a peripatetic deity with loyal followers across a considerable domain. Mahasu remains influential in the region, its ritual practices having remained quite distinct despite social change. An anthropological survey was conducted in its terrain during British times, but Till Kingdom Come is the first book to offer a detailed framework, a fine-grained history, and an analytically nuanced understanding of one of the rarest branches of Hindu worship.

'Til Kingdom Come by Evangeline Anderson Pdf

"In a time of mystery and magic, one man seeks to fulfill his powerful destiny." Prince Thrain Blackwater undertakes a deadly mission to capture the one who can help him get his revenge and make him whole. But to achieve his ends, he must perform an act of brutality that will alienate the man he hopes to claim as his own. Prince Elias Trueheart is a Null, a noble of the royal Trueheart line with no magic of his own. Resigned to a life of obscurity, he loses even that when his entire world is turned upside down the night Thrain comes for him. After the Blackwater prince claims him in a way Elias feels he can never forgive, he kidnaps him as well and drags him back to the snakepit he calls home, Castle Black. Thrain knows Elias will hate him forever--and he doesn't blame the other man a bit. Still, he hungers for Elias's love and will do anything to earn it, even if it means facing down his brutal older brother who wants Elias for himself. But will Elias ever return his feelings or is he incapable of forgiving Thrain's crime? He will have to make up his mind very soon for beneath the dark and dangerous Castle Black lies a secret that will unlock Elias's magic and a deadly riddle that will put both his life and Thrain's in peril.

Confessions of God by Johnthomas Didymus Pdf

While Jesus died slowly and painfully on a cross at Golgotha, three men, in a Jerusalem upper room, sat in on a sinister resurrection conspiracy which they never thought would change world history Who were these men? What were their motives? Who was the young man in long white garment the disciples found sitting in Jesus tomb on the morning of Jesus resurrection (Mark 16:5). What happened to the body of Jesus missing on the resurrection morning? Maverick Professor John Thomas Didymus a creative but sensitive mind unable to find succor in the age-old traditions of Christianity receives, while recuperating on a psychiatric hospital bed on the Isle of Patmos, healing divine visitations and empowering trumpet-call revelations of new Gospel truth. He reviews the historical evidence for a conspiracy theory of the resurrection in a compelling but disturbing alternative historical account of behind-the-gospel-scene political power intrigue and counter-intrigue trailing the ministry of Jesus from Galilee to Judea, Golgotha, the resurrection conspiracy and beyond. Rebounding, finally, from the depths of mental illness, back to his job at the university, and now succored by his former nurse Mary Magdalene, John Thomas Didymus 's career builds up into an apocalyptic confrontation with his colleagues of the ivory towers who ridicule his alternative gospel his pet Metaphysical Theory of Everything: A theory designed to grasp the entire spacetime fabric of reality in one fell swoop. A theory, the cognitive mutations of a mind functioning precariously, dangerously on the edge of mental chaos, beyond mere genius, bearing his cross, amid hostile jeers and taunts, Christ-like to Golgotha, on a lonely, narrow, ascending cognitive bio-evolutionary pathway to infinity

Props by Eleanor Margolies Pdf

This diverse book brings together theoretical and practical viewpoints on objects in performance, how they can be part of theatre scenery, equal partners in performance, or autonomous things. Through close analysis of specific performances, Eleanor Margolies examines actor training, scenography, materials, construction techniques and object theatre. The text investigates a number of critical questions, including: what the difference is between a theatre prop and an everyday object; how audiences respond to the various ways that props are used by actors and designers; and whether devising with 'stuff' affect the making process or the attitudes to materiality embodied in performance. With discussions of papier mâché and collapsing chairs, fake food and stage blood, Props is an essential sourcebook for students, practitioners and researchers of theatre, design and prop-making.
