Masterpieces of Lahore Museum: (Revised Version)

by
A Visual has a strong power to stimulate a still mind. This is particularly true of museum objects. They communicate history. They transport a viewer to a different civilization. A pictorial presentation of an object in a book can be equally effective. It can also whet the appetite for the real thing. The Lahore Museum abounds with thousands of antiquities of great charm to spellbind the visitor. Its treasure deserves to be known to everybody interested in the cultural achievements of man. The Museum collection relates to the cultural history of the people of a particular region. But such a heritage belongs to all mankind. It represents one record of human endeavour. The international community needs t known and to revel in it. Its universal language and appeal also endow in with the means of international communication and understanding. Such was also the sentiments expressed by Dr Prem K. Kasaju, Director Representative, UNESCO, Islamabad, on the occasion of his first visit to Lahore Museum. He had come on the invitation of his former colleague Mr Ishtiaq Khan, whom himself has good wishes for the development of the Museum. Dr Kasaju was greatly impressed with the cultural wealth he saw and wanted the Museum to become better known worldwide. In fact, it was at Dr Kasaju’s suggestion and with his approval that it was decided that the present book be published. He hoped that the book would be a source of inspiration for all, who go through the pages and appreciate the important collection of this Museum. Thus, the world community could be motivated to assist in overcoming the problems of conservation of its extraordinary treasures. It is due to the generous grant made by UNESCO, Islamabad, that the necessary and long overdue production of this book has become possible. But in order to stay within the available resources, our of a large collection of the Museum, reproduction of more than a hundred masterpieces could be included in the book of them are local products, but a good number also have their origin in other parts of the world. These objects largely represent the multi-regional aspects of artistic heritage. Their selection has been made only on the basis of historical and aesthetic value. It is hoped that the readers will find this volume useful for affording a glimpse and an initial understanding of the treasures present in the Museum. The aim was not to conduct a penetrating study on a wide-ranging history of civilization, but only to present a modest introduction to many facts or art. Housed in the Museum’s collection. The book should serve the purpose of satisfying art-lovers and the general readers interested in the t aesthetic beauty of a rich collection. The book is divided into various sections according to the subject matter. At the beginning of each section, a brief introduction with illustrations has been given. A short description of each object has been catalogued at the end. The time at my disposal was extremely short for a project of this nature. I am grateful to Dr Kasaju, Director / Representative UNESCO, who gave me constant encouragement and moral support for the early completion of the book. He has also been kind to write the foreword for the book. I thank Mr Ishtiaq Khan, former Director-General, Archaeology & Museums, Government of Pakistan, and former UNESCO Regional Advisor for Cultural in Asia and the Pacific, who cheerfully lent a helping hand in the completion of the book. The sincere encouragement received from Mr Inamullah Khan Niazi, M.N.A., Chairman, Board of Governors of Lahore Museum, and Publication Committee who took serious interest in completing the job according to the prescribed formalities, especially, Mrs Rukhsana Bhutta, Deputy Secretary, IC&YA Deptt. Mr, Rubina Naseer, Deputy renowned artist, who volunteered his services to prepare the dummy of the book, design the sketches and advise on technical details.

If you were visiting a website and wanted to search for a book. Which icon would you rather click on?My guess is the one on the right.2 3D for the Web Even though the actual information on the 3D object is smaller and less legible, it is somehow friendlier and more accessible.

To All That Speak: The Ultimate Guide To Building the Most Updated Existence Awareness (Bargain Read)

by

All words are made up. All words spoken between us are nothing more than made-up sounds from manipulated air. They’re just lung puffs. All of the letters that we text, email, and write are made-up symbols to coincide with our made-up noise. It’s really just hand scribbles. This would mean that everything from existence theories to religious ideologies to politics to our names and much more are all one hundred percent fabricated from thin air, literally. In fact, these words here and the pronunciation sounds you hear in your head as you read the symbols on this page are made up as well. Essentially, this book uses made-up words to further dissect and clarify other made-up words. However, by the end of this mental deconstruction and rebuild, you will walk away with this liberating awareness- we just are. Existence just is.

Be Your Greatest Self: The guidebook to enlightenment and realizing the legendary life (Enlightening Strikes 1)

by
Peace of mind, vitality, health, happiness, empowerment… they’re all related. They’re functions of our belief systems, for beliefs guide our actions and thereby shape the lives we live. Beliefs are also how we see the world, thereby forming the constraints of all joy. Beliefs are paramount within our life experience; they are the difference between our limited and greatest self, and what stands between the reality we know and legendary life. To be our greatest self, we align our beliefs. We discover how feelings actually work and thereby dissolve life’s negativity. We learn the deeper nature of willpower, realizing our objectives through wisdom and love instead of force. Vices and addictions? Conflicting loves of our lives lose their grip when the bliss of natural alignment is ours; this too is a matter of beliefs. Anger and depression, hatred and suffering, a hell in our past? All afflictions dissipate as new beliefs move us into relation with all that is, expanding both love and joy in our experience. Physical health and wellbeing are extensions of this very same wisdom; beliefs reshape us mentally, physically, and spiritually. Take the easy road. Join us as we debunk hundreds of troubling beliefs that are so commonplace that they can’t be seen, venturing where other books on spirituality, enlightenment, and faith dare not tread, because this is what it takes to be exceptional. * Be Your Greatest Self is the first guidebook in the Enlightening Strikes series. Optimize your journey by reading it in conjunction with the Enhanced Personal Journal, which provides additional wisdom, methods to embrace enlightenment, and a place for your empowering discoveries. The journal can be found by searching for ‘Be Your Greatest Self’ or ‘Chris Terai’ on Amazon, or by visiting http://getbook.at/BYGS_Journal .

Meet Jenny Bachmann

Growing up in Germany in the sixties, I was blessed with a comfortable life and a sense of security. When I began to travel as a biology teacher and international conflict-solver, I saw the destruction of natural disasters. From fires to hurricanes, I witnessed first-hand the heartbreaking defeat. It was a humbling experience. The global pandemic has only further highlighted the fragility of our safety. This book was written with parents in mind to help them better understand these risks and how to protect their families. Small steps, such as stocking up on water and growing food in the garden, can make a big difference. There is no way to be fully prepared for a disaster, but having the knowledge and resources to do our best is essential. With this book, I aim to arm parents with the tools they need to keep their loved ones safe.
