On a misty morning early half a century ago, Baskaran watched in awe as a skein of Bar-headed geese landed in Devarayan lake near Tiruchi. Their honking calls through the surrouding fog rendered the moment with a certain magic. The morning sparked the beginning of Baskara's nature writing. The articles he wrote over the years, published mostly in The Hindu, examined wildlife, ecology and conservatio, reflecting his enduring concerns with environmental issues. His writing based on personal observation has a sense of immediacy that draws readers to the lived experience of nature. The essays in this anthology range from an account of the stream-dwelling Brown dipper to a search for the lost orchid of Coutrallam. As Peter Matthiessen said, ""one way to grasp the main perspectives of biodiversity is to understand the precious nature of a single living form, a single manifestation of the miracle of existence; if one has truly understood a crane- or a eaf or a cloud or a frog- one has understood everything."" The articles anthologised in this volume represent a lifetime's pursuit of such an understanding.

This three-volume prayer series based on the Conservative Shabbat Morning Service transforms Hebrew study into a practical prayer learning experience. The only entry requirement is the ability to read Hebrew phonetically.¬+

Inspired by all the differences that I have learned, I wrote this book. I believe we are different in a way or another, we are all different in someone's eyes. So, we have to work on our inclusivity, coexistence, and acceptance for others. We can't add up to someone personal struggles, we can't make people battle because of the way they look, their skin color, their curly hair, their mental abilities, where they came from or the faith they believe. Why? because this is humanity and life and how it works.

The Book of the Revelation tells us that Satan deceives the whole world and causes them to wonder after the Beast (follow his teachings)- and that's happening today. What are those teachings that have deceived the whole world? Surprising enough, those false teachings are coming from within the church which left its Apostolic Hebrew Roots. This Book will shock, amaze and bless you. It will reveal to you critical Biblical truths that were ?lost? or perverted over the centuries. These 'lost' truths have caused some of the churches? core doctrines to no longer be in harmony with the Scriptures. Those that are deceived by the false teachings revealed in this book are unknowingly on the Broad Way leading to destruction ? they have accepted a false God and a false Gospel. What is revealed in the book is staggering; you will wonder how could this happen? Then you will ask yourself, 'Could I be deceived?' This book will challenge your beliefs and your understanding of God.
