Life in Delhi
As a child during my days in the year 1958;i still remember the daily life of peoples in the Model Basti.a colony in North Delhilnear Filmistan.
Model Basti was the Ist planned colony in Old Delhi.I used to walk very easily on the main road;because there were very very few cars and other MODERN fast moving vehicles.After Modelbasti;we moved to Shakti Nagar.
Since 1962.we are in Shakti Nagar.We all the friends has taken a keen intrest in the developments of Shakti Nagar.
But sorry;now new peoples from different walk of life has arrived;and their philosophy is "Chalta Hey"
There is no care of Roshanara Bagh.Nangia Park, and a nos.of Parks in Shakti Nagar.

Delhi, Sri Satguru Pub., 2005, xix, 347 p., US$22. (pbk). ISBN 81-7030-810-0.
Contents: Preface. 1. The places where Sri Ma Anandamayi lived as a child. 2. From childhood of maturity. 3. The manifestation of Sakti as Sadhana. 4. The Ma of Dhaka. 5. The beginning of the ceaseless wanderings. 6. The last years in Dhaka. 7. The bird on the wing. 8. The pilgrimage to Kailasha. 9. Sri Ramani Mohan Chakravarty : Bhyolanathji. 10. The changing order. 11. Sri Ma and the Sadhu-samaja. 12. A harmonius presence. 13. A confluence of many streams. 14. Through a spectrum of rainbow colours. 15. Swami Muktananda Giri. 16. The last flight - beyond horizons. Glossary of Sanskrit words. Index.
"For a span of more than 50 years Ma Anandamayi treaded gracefully the spiritual horizon of India -- and in her wake followed top dignitaries, as well as the lowliest of the lowly, enchanted by her gentle dispensation of wisdom and love to all...
To the man in the street she was the guru' and confidante of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. All V.I.Ps visiting India made an appointment with her an item in their itineraries. No big religious function was held anywhere in the country without an invitation to her for her gracious and radiant presence on the dais.
The keepers of our heritage -- the ascetic orders of India were united in recognizing Ma Anandamayi as the quintessence of the Upanishadic tradition....scholars trained in modern universities derived inspiration from her. Ma Anandamayi by her presence in our midst during the most difficult decades of our times, consolidated our past and taught how to live in the very demanding times of the twentieth century and face up to the challenge of the twenty first. She was born in India but in herself she belongs to humanity (Colin Turnbull).
Swami Sivananda (Divine Life Society) had said that she was the finest flower that the soil of India had produced. Such question as whether she was an incarnation, a Siddha Yogin or the adya sakti (Pandit Gopinath Kaviraj) used to sink into irrelevancies in her presence. She was for everyone, man, women and child from all corners of the world, a guide of infallible power, a friend of unfailing compassion and understanding.
To Ma Anandamayi, there was no one who was an 'other'. In her we touched a dimension of unity which encompassed all religions and all countries. Each person in her presence found fulfilment and her presence is ever-abiding

"Western philosophy has long regarded Indian philosophy as its other. Philosophy of religion, as we know it today, emerged in the west and has been shaped by western philosophical and theological trends, while the philosophical tradition of India flowed along its own course until the late nineteenth century, when active, if tentative, contact was established between the west and the east. This book provides a definite focus to this interaction by investigating issues raised in western philosophy of religion from the perspective of Advaita Vedanta, the influential school of Indian thought. In promoting the emergence of a cross-cultural philosophy of religion, Arvind Sharma focuses on John H. Hick and his well-known work The Philosophy of Religion as representative of modern western philosophy of religion and on Sankara, along with his modern successors such as M. Hiriyanna and S. Radhakrishnan, as representative of Advaita Vedanta. His argument is developed in a series of chapters devoted to central issues in the philosophy of religion (God, belief, evil, revelation, faith, religious language, verification, existence, reality, human destiny) and concludes with a study of conflicting truth claims of different religions."
