With a foreword by Jane Goodall, this moving memoir follows a successful journalist and filmmaker who felt like something was missing in her life as she finds her purpose in advocacy for the Asian elephants in her childhood home town of Kerala, India. "The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated." - Mahatma Gandhi Elephants are self-aware, conscious beings. They can feel and grieve the loss of both elephants and humans. But despite all empathy that elephants shower on humans, we continue to inflict pain and suffering on these caring, sentient beings. In 2013 Sangita Iyer visited her childhood home of Kerala, India. Over 700 Asian elephants live in Kerala, owned by individuals and temples that force them to perform in lengthy, crowded, noisy festivals, abusing and shackling these animals they claim to revere for tourists and money. When Sangita found herself in the presence of these divine creatures and witnessed their suffering first hand, she felt a deep connection to their pain. She too had been shackled and broken for too long-to her patriarchal upbringing in India, to the many "me too" moments in her work life that were swept under the rug, to the silence. Now she would speak out for the elephants and for herself. And she would heal alongside them. This sparked the creation of her award winning documentary of the same name and a new purpose in this life for both Sangita and the elephants.

Download and read online ebook Warpaint of the Gods write by Nila Sagadevan. This book was released on 2004-12. Warpaint of the Gods available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. WHAT IS GOD?S RELIGION? Nila Sagadevan's new book Warpaint of the Gods asks provocatively: Does God have a religion? If He does, what is it? If He does not?why do we humans have so many? An incredibly powerful message of the underlying unity of all world religions, this book aims to introduce a voice of reason to the paradox of religious bloodshed that pervades the world today. It undertakes a ruthless examination of religion's role in the brutal internecine conflict that has ruled the Earth, and concludes that human beings are so preoccupied with their own ethnocentricity (religious and ethnic) that they are blind to the horrors they are inflicting on one another. Equally important, this blinkered view of humanity has prevented us seeing the real picture?that life exists not only on the microscopic speck of cosmic dust we call Earth, but in the distant realms of the Universe, too. This vast celestial ocean renders our genocidal affinities all the more ridiculous,

The Accidental Feminist available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. “My name is Courtney. I’m an accidental feminist.” Although many Christians wouldn’t identify themselves as feminists, the reality is that the feminist movement has influenced us all in profound ways. We unconsciously reflect our culture’s ideas related to womanhood rather than what’s found in the Bible. In this book, Courtney Reissig—a wife, mom, and successful writer—recounts her journey out of “accidental feminism,” offering wise counsel for Christian women related to relationships, body image, and more—drawing from the Bible rather than culture. Whether you’re a committed feminist, a staunch traditionalist, or somewhere in between, this book will help you answer the question, “What does it mean to be a Christian woman?” You’ll discover the joy, purpose and importance that are found in God’s good design.
