Sinossi

In "Janus in Modern Life," W. M. Flinders Petrie explores the duality of human experience through a lens that fuses classical scholarship with contemporary observations. The title references the Roman deity Janus, symbolizing beginnings, transitions, and duality, which serves as a metaphor throughout the text for the complexities of modern existence. Petrie's narrative eruditely oscillates between detailed archaeological insights and philosophical reflections, calling upon historical contexts to frame contemporary dilemmas in an increasingly fragmented society. The book challenges readers to introspectively engage with the nuanced perspectives of past and present, urging an understanding of life'Äôs transitions. W. M. Flinders Petrie, renowned as the father of modern archaeology, was not only instrumental in revolutionizing the field but was also a keen observer of cultural shifts. His background in both science and the humanities imbued his writing with a unique authority; Petrie understood how history echoes in the human condition. His extensive fieldwork and academic pursuits shaped his worldview, prompting a desire to elucidate the lessons history offers regarding modern life'Äôs challenges. Readers seeking a thought-provoking examination of identity, time, and societal change will find "Janus in Modern Life" indispensable. Petrie'Äôs ability to intertwine scholarly rigor with accessible prose invites both academic and casual readers alike to reflect on their positions within a continuum of human experience, making this work a timeless addition to the study of social dynamics.

    Shaped by Saints
     
    Author, Devi Mukherjee takes the reader on a profoundly inspiring pilgrimage to meet saints and realized masters of modern India in forest ashrams, mountain caves, holy places, and shrines. He shares many insights and lessons from the great ones and tells many previously unpublished stories of Yogananda’s early life and return visit to India in 1935-36.
     
    While a young man, he worked with Mahatma Gandhi in the Indian resistance movement and was imprisoned for five months. After release, Devi began a spiritual quest throughout India, traveling some 45 years at various times.
     
    This beautifully written book takes you on a deeply inspiring pilgrimage to visit saints and God-realized masters of modern-day India. Devi Mukherjee—a disciple of the great yoga master, Paramhansa Yogananda (1893–1952)—invites you to walk in his footsteps and experience India’s spiritual richness, preserved in forest ashrams, mountain caves, and in holy places and shrines.
     
    Throughout his many years of travel, Devi meditated with some of India’s great souls and felt their transforming spiritual power. From all, he received the same soul guidance—to love God with every fiber of one’s being. One of Yogananda’s closest boyhood friends, Tulsi Bose, is the father of Devi’s wife, Hassi. From Bose and others, Devi obtained previously unpublished stories of Yogananda’s early life and 1935 visit to India that give the reader inspiring new glimpses of Yogananda’s generosity, courage, loyalty to friends, and spiritual power.
