FREIBURGER ZEITGEISTLITERATURE (Satis Shroff)

Review by Renate Mousseux. M.A. ED: Through Nepalese Eyes is a highly interesting, authentic story taking the reader through traditions and customs of 2 different countries. The stories are written through the Eyes of a Nepalese, hence the Title. We learn about the role of women, religious beliefs, political events, ethical and socio-economic situations in Nepal. We see comparisons of Europe and Asia and learn about the vast differences of life. This book is a must read, I recommend it highly. (Renate Mousseux. M.A. ED.

The flowers bloom and cherries get ripe, ‘ Kaphal pakyo, kaphal pakyo ,’ Sings a a bird. The day lengthens And the clouds cannot hide the Surya. Soon great clouds bring rain.

The Newari  jyapu farmers sing songs And rejoice. The sun fills our lives with light, Positive thoughts prevail. The wonderful scent of the roses, Butterflies dancing over Himalayan orchids. Your fingers touch and feel The silkiness of the rose petals. People sing...
