First Raj of the Sikhs
Summary
Banda Singh Bahadur appeared in Sikh history for a relatively short period (1708-1716) but, after the Sikh gurus, influenced it more significantly than any other individual. Banda Singh Bahadur is among the most colourful and fascinating characters in Sikh history. From an ascetic he was transformed into Guru Gobind Singh’s most trusted disciple. So much so that when the seriously injured guru could not lead his Sikh army against the Mughal forces, he appointed Banda Singh Bahadur as his deputy. As proof of this appointment he gave Banda his sword, a mighty bow, arrows from his own quiver, his battle standard and his war drum. Banda rode out from Nanded (where Guru Gobind Singh passed away; now in Maharashtra) at the head of a small band of Sikhs, which, by the time it reached the Punjab, had grown into a formidable army. Over the next few years his exploits against the Mughal rulers, both in pitched battles and in skirmishes, became the stuff of legends. He became the first of many legendary Sikh generals famous both for their personal heroic courage and their skill in warfare. His many encounters with the Mughal rulers eroded the very foundation of the Mughal empire and ensured its quick demise. As he said when questioned on what he had achieved, ‘I have ensured that never again will the crown sit easily on the Mughal emperor’s head’. He also prepared the coming generations of Sikhs for future conflicts, which later greatly helped Maharaja Ranjit Singh in creating a Sikh empire. Banda was a true leader who led from the front, not only in the battlefield but also in civil administration. He established a secular government which swept aside 700 years of slavery and the myth of domination by foreign powers, proclaimed freedom of worship, allowed the people to follow professions of their choice and stopped forcible marriages even while recovering abducted women for return to their families. His land revolution abolished zamindari in parts of North India, thereby redistributing land equally amongst the tillers. This book seeks to tell the story of this remarkable and brave man and his equally remarkable achievements. Perhaps the finest of Banda Singh Bahadur’s biographies.

Freedom from Body Memory
Summary
The innate ability to store stress, not only in the mind, but in the body, has become more than a mechanism to survive; it has become an unconscious habit. As a result, a person can accumulate years, even a lifetime of stress in their body from past experiences - a phenomenon known as body memory. In Freedom From Body Memory, we join Jonathan Tripodi on his 18-year journey to uncover the secrets of body memory and how one's unconscious hold on the past is the invisible source of suffering. Pain, fatigue, anxiety, depression, and destructive behaviors are all indicators of unresolved body memory. From his personal awakening to body memory in Part I and through the history, science, and case studies in Part II, Jonathan illuminates a healing path that is often missed in traditional healthcare. The release of body memory is one of the most enlightening and liberating experiences; and creates change in the body and in one's life that are often considered impossible.
