  Nothing sets the tone for the day like learning your home planet has just changed ownership. 
   
  Today is a day like any other on Earth. People wake and work. Minds plug into electronic devices. Social networks spark with spontaneous brain sputterings. A woman primps. A man scratches his balls. Humans relate, congregate, procreate. 
   
  And news anchors across the globe offer an ounce of vital information for every pound of mind-numbing nonsense... 
   
  Then, the figurative bomb hits. Screens are ablaze, and radio is abuzz with a news flash like no other: 
   
  Earth has been inherited. The planet has a new owner. 
   
  And he's not happy to find his endowment overrun by a planetary pestilence. 
   
  Earth gets its wakeup call. How would you answer it?

  The Royal Ghosts - Stories

  “Startlingly good” stories of Nepali society set against the backdrop of violent Maoist insurgencies (San Francisco Chronicle).   From an author like “a Buddhist Chekhov,” The Royal Ghosts features characters trying to reconcile their true desires with the forces at work in Nepali society (San Francisco Chronicle). As political violence rages, these people struggle with their duties to their aging parents, an oppressive caste system, and the complexities of arranged marriage, striving to find peace and connection, and often discovering it in unexpected places.   These stories, from the Whiting Award–winning author of Arresting God in Kathmandu and The Guru of Love, brilliantly examine not only Kathmandu during a time of upheaval, crisis, and cultural transformation but also the effects of the city on the individual consciousness.   “Like William Trevor, Samrat Upadhyay compresses into a short story the breadth of vision and human consequence we expect from a novel, and he does so in a prose that seems as natural as breathing.” —Scott Russell Sanders, author of A Private History of Awe   “Takes us straight into the heart of the troubled and enchanting kingdom of Nepal.” —The Washington Post   “Upadhyay’s not-so-simple stories are lucid and often luminous.” —Publishers Weekly

  The purpose of these lessons is to raise the mental and spiritual vibrations of the student to inspire hope, faith, courage to awaken larger thought within the mind, inspire greater plans and purposes and awaken the dormant energy in the life to fire the enthusiasm and call into active service hidden talent which the student, possibly, does not dream at his present stage of unfoldment, he possesses. In short our purpose is to awaken men from mental slumber, show the unlimited resources in human nature, the unseen yetopen doors to mental wealth first, then as a natural sequence to wealth in material conditions, and thus enlarge and ennoble the life as well as add to its material expressions.The purpose of the true teacher who is ever the true physician as well must always be the "more abundant life" of which the Nazarene spoke and taught. To disclose that life, abounding life, in all its fullness and beauty and point out the laws by which it is gained, with wealth as a natural sequence, is the purpose of the three lessons on which we are entering.
