The Pen of Brahma

Angebote / Angebote:

Excerpt from The Pen of Brahma: Peeps Into Hindu Hearts and Homes The mother in anger and pity demanded another fate for her firstborn child. Again Brahma complied with her wish, and traced out a third fate. Then he threw away his golden pen to prevent his writing another future for the child. From that day to this he has only written one fate for each person, and whatever that fate is, whether good or evil, must of necessity come to pass. When I was a girl, living in New Zealand, an English man-of-war lay for several weeks in our land-locked bay. Every night, right into the midst of the darkness, a brilliant light was flashed from the ship over the sleeping town. It lit up the harbour, the wharves, and the streets. It revealed every lurking shadow thrown by the rocks, the trees, and the hill-top peaks. The darkness and the shadows fled as though by magic before the penetrating beams of the searchlight from that vessel of war. In India, I have seen, dancing among the trees, flashing out of the jungle, gleaming from the ground, myriad hosts of tiny fireflies. Sometimes the whole place seems alive with them. They come and go like the twinkling stars in a midnight sky. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
