My name is Dibyasree Nandy, 29 years old. I am M.Sc and M.Tech degrees. I have written four books: "The Labyrinth of Silent Voices: Epistles of the Mahabharata", "Stardust: Haiku and other poems", "Studded with Rubies: A Hundred Short Stories" and "Marchen of Newer Days".
Raveena Nash is a keen student of A Course in Miracles (ACIM). As soon as she discovered this great spiritual teaching, she felt drawn to it and realised that this was her Path.
In her first book, It’s All An Illusion! Raveena compared the belief system of ACIM with other spiritual paths. In Rise Above, her second book, she offered practical advice and guidance to help the spiritual seeker make progress along the Path of Forgiveness. In A Tale of Truth, Raveena simplifies the essence of ACIM so that children are able to understand its important message and some of its key concepts.
Raveena has a London University Honours degree in economics. She has worked as a mathematics and special needs teacher and as a radio and television newsreader. She has also written articles for a weekly newspaper. She is interested in holistic healing and has been trained in Reiki and Reconnective Healing. She now lives in rural England with her two cats. Her interests include reading, classical music, playing the piano, going for walks in the countryside, growing vegetables and fruit and baking cakes.
My name is Rajia Nash (but I would like to use the pen name Raveena Nash) and I have been searching for meaning to life for nearly 25 years. During this period I have studied many scriptures and read all sorts of Mind, Body, Spirit books in my quest for enlightenment. A year and a half ago I was led to A Course in Miracles (ACIM) which caused me to do a 180 degree turn in my beliefs and in my perspective on life. I studied the course on a daily basis, one lesson a day for 365 days. Then I went back and read the Text and Manual again. I attended workshops and read many ACIM-related books. The central theme of ACIM is that the physical body and the world of form are illusions. Only the spirit is real and only the spirit has been created by God. I decided to write a book about this and to compare this belief system with others. Although I am nowhere near becoming enlightened, I have made that my major goal in life. But part of that goal is to help others “awaken” too. I thought I might be able to do that by writing this book.
