This is the first book to bring the major concepts of Ahimsa – dynamic harmlessness- into focus for the Western reader.Nathaniel Altman provides a thorough grounding in a philosophy that has been practiced by such notables as Thomas Merton, M.K. Gandhi, Dorothy Day, Peace Pilgrim and Martin Luther King, Jr., to name but a few.But he goes further than this and shows how Ahimsa can be practically applied by each of us in our daily lives, in our personal relationships, our business affairs, politics, religion and our attitude towards the environment. Despite the challenge of living in a world that seems bent on violence and destruction, the author believes that Ahimsa offers genuine hope for both the present and the future.

Since the dawn of history, trees have played a central role in the survival of humanity and the flowering of myriad cultures. Not surprisingly, people the world over have revered trees for their life-giving and life-affirming nature. But modern societies have lost touch with that sense of reverence.Sacred Trees rekindles a once-broadly felt kinship with the natural world. Through vivid history and myth drawn from hundreds of the world’s cultures- from the ancient Egyptians and the Druids of early Britain to today’s indigenous Hawaiians- Nathaniel Altman reveals the special relationship people have always shared with trees. Here are cosmic trees of the Norse, regarded as the symbol of universal life, the ancestral trees of ancient Rome, seen as the birthplace of humankind, and the biblical tree of knowledge, responsible for the fall of humanity.Richly illustrated, Sacred Trees offers us the devotion that traditional cultures have shown towards trees and teaches us that respect, reverence, and communion with the rest of nature are essential for the healing of Mother Earth.

Indian palmistry, known as Samudrika shastra, can trace its origins back thousands of years. In India, palmistry has always been viewed as a sacred science. The human hand is considered a special part of the body that reveals each person's unique dharma, or life path for this incarnation. The lines themselves are considered manifestations of God. Early palmistry texts stress that the individual who interprets the divine signs on the hand must adhere to a strict code of personal conduct and not only should achieve a deep practical knowledge of palmistry, but a reach a high level of spiritual attainment as well.Indian spiritual teachers believe that by developing self-knowledge, we can tap into the energy, talents and interests that we may have brought with us into our present life. As we deepen our self-understanding, we create our own future, not only in this life, but in future ones as well. This book provides a clear introduction to this fascinating study.
