In "The Roman Festivals of the Period of the Republic," W. Warde Fowler meticulously explores the rich tapestry of religious festivities that characterized ancient Rome prior to the rise of the Empire. Fowler's literary style is characterized by rigorous scholarship and a clear, engaging prose that invites readers into the complex interplay between religion, politics, and societal norms. This work is situated within the context of classical studies and archaeology, employing both primary sources and contemporary scholarship to illuminate the significance of festivals as a reflection of Roman values and communal identity. W. Warde Fowler, a prominent classical scholar and a member of the British Academy, dedicated much of his academic career to the study of ancient Rome. His extensive knowledge of Roman culture, history, and religion, coupled with his belief in the importance of understanding the cultural fabric of ancient societies, profoundly influenced his writings. Fowler's scholarly background and contextual knowledge shine through as he examines how these festivals shaped public life and reinforced social cohesion in the Republic. This book is highly recommended for historians, archaeologists, and literature enthusiasts alike, offering a profound understanding of how festivals influenced not only the religious landscape of ancient Rome but also its politics and social dynamics.

    Aokigahara, also known as the sea of trees, is a forest on the flanks of Mount Fuji on the island of Honshu in Japan, spread over 30 square kilometres of rock hard lava which was laid down during the last major eruption of Mount Fuji in 864. The western edge of Aokigahara, where there are various caves that fill with ice in winter, is a popular destination for tourists. Parts of Aokigahara are very dense, and the porous lava rock absorbs sound, all adding to a sense of solitude that some visitors decide to be the perfect place to implement their final act.

    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 He shares many insights and lessons from the great ones and tells many previously unpublished stories of Yogananda’s early life and return visit to India in 1935-36.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.
