  Narasimha Dev - The Supreme...

  Narasimha Dev is the manifest man-lion incarnation of Vishnu, who incarnates to destroy evil and end religious persecution and calamity upon the earth, thereby reestablishing the divine balance of the great dharma of the eternal Vedic tradition. 
   
  The Supreme appeared in this form to protect Prahlada from his demoniac father Hiranyakashipu. He always protects His devotees from all dangers. Devotees need not be afraid of His ferocious mouth and tongue, eyes as bright as the sun, sharp, pinching teeth or His tumultuous roaring. His nails which are like chisels are meant for ripping apart enemies. But for the devotees, His beautiful hands, which are like lotus flowers, give shelter and protection. 
   
  Narasimha is known as the divine protector because he removes all obstacles that can hamper a devotee’s spiritual progress. People unfamiliar with Vedic characters foolishly conclude such characters are imaginary and mere creations of the human mind. “It’s all blind faith and superstitious,” they argue and reject such ideas as false. But the universe is unlimited, and we have no idea of what kind of varied beings exist outside our planet earth.

  War forced millions of Syrians from their homes. It also forced them to rethink the meaning of home itself. 
   
   
   
  In 2011, Syrians took to the streets demanding freedom. Brutal government repression transformed peaceful protests into one of the most devastating conflicts of our times, killing hundreds of thousands and displacing millions. The Home I Worked to Make takes Syria's refugee outflow as its point of departure. Based on hundreds of interviews conducted across more than a decade, it probes a question as intimate as it is universal: What is home? With gripping immediacy, Syrians now on five continents share stories of leaving, losing, searching, and finding (or not finding) home. Across this tapestry of voices, a new understanding emerges: home, for those without the privilege of taking it for granted, is both struggle and achievement. Recasting "refugee crises" as acts of diaspora-making, The Home I Worked to Make challenges listeners to grapple with the hard-won wisdom of those who survive war and to see, with fresh eyes, what home means in their own lives.

  Peru is a land of majesty and wonder where myth, legend, and history all come together. And this audiobook gives you a front-row seat! 
  The land of Peru is one that, for many, seems far away and distant. Even for those living relatively nearby geographically, Peru can seem just out of reach. After all, Peru is situated high in the Andes on the western coast of South America. Those who dare to live at this high of an elevation have learned to live on their own terms.  
  The Inca leader Manco II, for example, displayed his tenacity by heading a rebel kingdom in the depths of the Amazon even after much of the Inca Empire of his ancestors had been overrun by the Spanish conquistadors.  
  Manco’s struggle was later picked up by Túpac Amaru II, who waged war against the Spanish occupation. Túpac Amaru II would be captured and executed for daring to revolt against the Spanish Crown, but his legend would live on in the hearts and minds of Peruvians everywhere.  
  Fast forward to Peru’s independence from Spain, and one finds the heroic Simón Bolívar. He was pivotal in the independence of Peru, as well as a whole slew of Latin American countries, which he was put in charge of at various times during his dynamic career.  
  Great heroes like Simón Bolívar certainly stand out, but so do other intriguing and captivating characters from Peru’s past. From the great Inca ruler Atahualpa to Francisco Pizarro to modern-day Peruvian presidents like Alberto Fujimori and Dina Boluarte, Peru has quite a story to tell! 
  In this audiobook, you will learn about the following:The origins of Peruvian civilizationThe rise and fall of the Inca EmpireThe explorations of conquistadors like Francisco PizarroRevolutionaries like Túpac Amaru II and resistance to Spanish rulePeru’s struggle for independence

I saw him as a great Sikh whose role in the Akali Dal was growing.
