The presiding deity of Garhwal Rifles of Indian Army, whose men always come to pay their respects to Lord Shiva after serving their posts on the front, is one of the most powerful temples for the 84 districts around (one of them is Lansdowne - 36 KMs away). The valley is now surrounded by the same 7 trees, which is probably one of the rare places at 2000 Mts height at which this temple is located. There is a local story here that after killing Tadkeshwar Demon, Lord Shiva came here to rest and Goddess Parvati turned into 7 tall deodar trees to give Him shade. And one such place, I came to be in last November, is Tadkeshwar Temple.
I am thankful to Mary Feliciani for sending me a copy of Humanitarians, Visionaries, Heroes, and You in exchange for an honest review.Hidden in the thousands of valleys, surrounded by tall, serene and mysterious Himalayan peaks, one always find some secluded spot, where all the nature focuses its energy of creations to manifest the power of supreme consciousness, in physical things, which the mankind can feel if not see. Knowing that, I am still surprised that an author wanting to sell the written word (and being a teacher, no less) would refrain from using any book references and that, of the websites used, Wikipedia would be considered a good information source for youth to consider.īarring that, I found the book enjoyable and enlightening with information. It is expected in an age so fraught with technology that websites are a big source of information.
I was a little dismayed to see only websites used for retrieving information, and somewhat stunned that Wikipedia was referenced three times. I appreciate authors who include the references they used for their books.
It is a brief text but bountiful with information. Each hero mini-biography contains information on an outstanding person that made a difference in the world, as well as quotations by that person and a reflection by the author. This book may look thin to the eyes, being only a scant 39 pages, but it is quite filled with information.
Author Mary Feliciani tells us about the seven humanitarians that have inspired her in Humanitarians, Visionaries, Heroes, and You.
