This exceptionally beautiful volume surveys the fusion of religion and art in India and addresses the social, political and religious trends that existed in the royal courts of Jodhpur from the 17th to the 19th centuries. Newly discovered paintings from the Royal Collection of Jodhpur, superbly reproduced here, reveal the emergence of a uniquely sensuous garden aesthetic in the 18th century; these delightful images present royal pastimes and the divine exploits of Hindu deities Krishna and Rama. "Garden and Cosmos" marks the first time these works have been published or viewed outside the royal court. The books essays, which feature recent discoveries by scholars in the field, offer a significant understanding of their fascinating history.

The Only Book to Look at The Near-Death Experience Through It's Miraculous After-Effects.Life After Near Death profiles a dozen cases of near-death experience after-effects, including newfound musical and artistic talents, mathematical gifts, enhanced hearing, elevated IQ, improved vision, spontaneous healing, and electrical sensitivity. Bridging the gap between science and spirituality, Life After Near Death explores these miraculous after-effects and new evidence concerning the NDE to reveal for the first time: 
<li>New evidence affirming the survival of consciousness after death.</li>
<li>The circumstances and conditions that give rise to a NDE.</li>
<li>The link between predisposition and the NDE.</li>
<li>The role of manifestation and intent and the NDE.</li>
<li>The unmistakable connections between the energetic world and the NDE. Life After Near Death is the only book to explore the deeper meaning of the near-death experience through the prism of its extraordinary after-effects. It offers a new, science-based paradigm to unravel the NDE and our assumptions regarding the afterlife. Because although you can return from an NDE, you will never return to your former life. </li>
