  This is a work which challenges the agnostic and atheistic attitudes of modern science. As Gopi Krishna assesses the situation, “I know that Revelation has been right in predicting a glorious spiritual destiny for mankind and Reason has been grievously wrong. The marvels of technology we see around us, beyond a certain limit that has been passed, can become a prison for the evolving human mind.” He asserts that, in order to progress in a healthy way, science must free itself of the self-imposed, rigid and closed-minded attitudes that have limited its scope of investigation into non-physical realms of creation.

  EPISODE 2 : What is Exchanged?

  Having understood the exchange, let us understand what is exchanged...
  
  In nature, plants and animals seek food in order to survive. Plants and animals also need power, to get food, and not become food. An animal without power will not eat and be soon eaten by others. Animals increase their power by collaborating with each other in herds, packs, and hives. Competition helps the stronger and faster get a greater share of the food. Collaboration helps the group; competition helps the mighty.
  
  Culture exists to provide food and power to humans. But for humans, food and power take very complex forms, as hunger and insecurity are fueled by imagination. For humans, that which satisfies human hunger is Lakshmi, the goddess of food and fortune, whose name is derived from the word laksha, or target. She is what we value and hoard the most. Durga is the goddess of security and power. Like Lakshmi, she too can be stored, stolen, and shared. Her name is derived from durg, or the fortress. Then there is Saraswati, goddess of knowledge, who helps humans discover, invent, and innovate new forms of food, and security.
  
  In this chapter, we will focus on the goddesses, Lakshmi, Durga, and Saraswati, who embody resources, power, and knowledge that humans exchange in the market.

  Winner of the Grand Prize for Instruction and Insight and First Place in Psychology, Chanticleer International Book Awards 
   
  One of the autism community’s most beloved classics, Ten Things Every Child with Autism Wishes You Knew has informed, delighted, and guided millions of families and professionals the world over since its first edition was published in 2005. 
   
  A child’s voice leads into each chapter, offering a one-of-a-kind exploration into how ten core characteristics of autism affect our children’s perceptions and reactions to the surrounding physical, sensory and social environments. This revised and updated third  
  edition sharpens the focus on these basic aspects while expanding on how our own perspectives shape the life of our child and ourselves, today, tomorrow, and for years to come. An all-new section illuminates the surprising breadth of our power of choice and  
  outlines potent strategies for strong decision-making in every situation. 
   
  Every parent, teacher, social worker, therapist, and physician should have this succinct and informative book in their back pocket. Framed with both humor and compassion, the book lists the top ten characteristics that help illuminate—not define—children with  
  autism. Ellen's personal experiences as a parent, an autism columnist, and a contributor to numerous parenting magazines coalesce to create this guide for anyone with someone on the autism spectrum in their life.
