ABOUT THE BOOK
Each ending is a beginning…And if this is true, then this is where we get another
chance. We can be kinder to each other. We can be kinder to the Earth. We can do
something about our faults and fears...’
Beginnings are all around us, although they are often disguised. The turning
of the soil, the blossoming of the buds, a new friendship, a new day with an
old familiar – these are all signs that life carries on, and that it may be good
despite setbacks. In a world changed and darkened by the pandemic, A Book
of New Beginnings reminds us of this eternal truth. This shining anthology is a
treasure of meditations, consolations and inspirations from a range of voices
through history: Rabi’ah, Rumi, Tukaram, Emily Dickinson, Tagore, Faiz
Ahmed Faiz, Muktabai, Martin Luther King, the Dalai Lama, Alice Munro,
Shailendra and unsung, everyday people with an extraordinary gift for hope,
compassion, courage and perseverance.
Edited and introduced by one of India’s finest and most admired writers, and
beautifully designed and produced, this is a timeless book to possess and to gift.
