A must for the sons and daughters of America, September 5, 2000
These accounts of the past lives of Alcyone (J Krishnamurthy in the latest incarnation)are lessons in the working of karma life after life, full of instruction for the student and helpful for the realisation of the continuity of human life. We see the interrelations of individuals, the results of benefits and injuries, the links that draw the egos together, the repulsion that drive them apart. We notice the epochs in which great grooups of related egos are formed, there scattering for centuries, millenia, their reunions and fresh scatterings. And out of the whole grows a sense of security, of an ever-ruling guidance, of Wisdom that plans, of Power that executes, of the certain working out of a great purpose, of agents chosen, tested, accepted or dropped, opportunities offered, utilised, rejected, of a sure onward evolution amid complexity of ebbs and flows. A single life is seen into proportion, preceeded and succeeded by many others. A feeling of strength and dignity grows within the reader as he thinks:"The troubles of the present lose their seriousness when seen in the light of immortality; successes and failures become passing incidents in a long panorama; birth and death--how often they have been experienced! He realises the profound truth voiced by Lord Krishna that since the Dweller in the body ever cast away outworn bodies and ever reclothed himself in new"

Much of the workings of Karma may be learned by a study of the series of lives contained in the book. We see the interrelations of individuals, the results of benefits and injuries, the links that draw the egos together, the repulsions that drive them apart life after life and there grows a sense of security, of an ever ruling guidance, of Wisdom that plans, of Power that executes, of a certain working out of a great purpose, of agents chosen, tested, accepted or dropped, opportunities offered, utilised, rejected, of a sure onward evolution amid complexity of ebbs and flowsl.A single life is seen into proportion,, preceeded and succeeded by many others. A feeling of strength and dignity within the reader as he thinks:"I too have a long past stretching behind me, I too a vast future stretching in front".The troubles of the present lose their seriousness when seen in the light of immortality.

I can arrange the book for you, July 1, 2000
Through the power of clairvoyance this book has been written by Annie Besant and Leadbeater.The stories of the forty eight lives of Alcyone enunciates and establishes the fundamental laws of reincarnation and the law of Karma both being parts of the divine plan of evolution.
