Book Description
It has been two years after the black element was discovered; two years since Jay disappeared, believed to be dead. The revelations continue for the Somvanshis, as they deal with the changes that the black element caused in their bodies. As Karan makes discoveries that shake him to his core, Shantanu Somvanshi finds the key that he has been waiting for in the shape of a young, strong-minded girl. The Ancestors takes the reader on a whirlwind ride with twists and turns that will shock.

Book Description
The sacred city of Banāras on the River Ganges is one of the oldest living cities in the world—as old as Jerusalem, Athens, and Peking. It is the place where Shiva, the Lord of All, is said to have made his permanent home since the dawn of creation. There are few cities in India as traditionally Hindu and as symbolic of the whole of Hindu culture as Banāras. In this eloquent, finely observed study, Diana Eck shows how the city over the centuries has become a lens through which the Hindu vision of the world is precisely focused. She reveals the spiritual and historical resonance of this holy place where great sages such as the Buddha and Shankara were taught, where ashrams, palaces, and universities were built, where God has been imagined and imagined in a thousand ways. She describes the rites of its temples, the busy life of its riverfront, and the exuberance of its festivals. She tells how people travel from all over India to Banāras for the privilege of dying a good death here, for they believe that on the banks of the River Ganges where “the atmosphere of devotion is improbable in its strength,” it is possible to be released from the earthly round forever. In her account of the sacred history, geography, and art of the city, its elaborate and thriving rituals, its myths and literature, and its importance to pilgrims and seekers, Diana Eck uses her wealth of scholarship to make the Hindu tradition come powerfully alive so that we come to understand the meaning of this sacred city to the millions of believers who have been coming here for over 2,500 years.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Holy City: Benares Varied would be the nature of the sights that would meet your eyes in this ancient city - sublime and fantastic, elevating as well as queer. Advance with a scoffing predisposition and a supercilious contempt for what you may not understand, and things will take complexion from your temperament, and enough will there be for affording you amusement and means of cavilling and reviling. But why leave the honey and seek the sores which incidences of time must inevitably cause? Approach rather with a feeling of respect and in a spirit of considerate svmpathy making due allowances for the deformities of age, and with an earnest desire for peering into the inner nature of what you see, and enough shall you find for reflection, enlightenment and enjoyment. The apparent freckles and pallidness of age willthen pass away from your vision revealing the cherubic lineaments of the earlier days harbouring the soul immaculate and immortal! 'every religion is an expression of Divine \visdom' and its study is surely preferable to an off-hand condemnation.
