Pajapati hates rules.
Her sister and co-queen of Kapilavastu, Maya, tries to gently hold her in check, but Pajapati is irrepressible. When Maya dies, shortly after giving birth to Siddhartha, Pajapati is inconsolable. Yet bring up Siddhartha she must—for the sake of her sister—and with extreme diligence, for it has been prophesied at Siddhartha’s birth that should he see suffering or death, he will leave the kingdom forever.
Despite the protection and restrictions, Siddhartha does live out the prophecy—and goes on to become the Buddha. But this is not his story. This is the story of Pajapati, the woman who raised him, and became a Buddha herself.
Set in the fifth century BCE, Maria Denjongpa’s compelling debut novel explores the nature of love and loss and the challenges of a woman on a spiritual journey.

An easy-to-read guidebook to how flow—that feeling we all get when we’re so into what we’re doing that we lose track of time—can change our lives. The Flow Habit is filled with simple exercises and inspiring stories from people around the world who have experienced the life-changing magic of flow.
The Flow Habit is for anyone ready for a turning point. If you’ve lost your spark, or dream of something more for your life, this is the book for you. Author Laurie Smith shows how simply spending a few minutes each day doing activities that truly bring us joy can dramatically change our lives. That’s because when we do what we love, we discover the power of the flow state—that feeling we get when we’re so into what we’re doing that we lose track of time.
When we’re in a flow state, the volume of that inner critic turns way down. We stop worrying about what other people think. We no longer feel pulled in lots of different directions by outer distractions. Instead, we feel a sense of calm, confidence, and purpose. We know what matters most in each moment, and how we can help.
Flow is not just the key to feeling positive. It’s also the key to reconnecting with who we really are, our unique gifts, and finding fun ways to share them with the world. The more we experience flow, the more flow becomes a habit, and the better our overall lives tend to flow too. In flow, we often have experiences far more wonderful than anything we could have ever imagined.
The Flow Habit is full of tips and exercises to help you uncover your unique formula for flow, rekindle your spark, and create a plan for following with where your soul is calling you to go.

Best-selling author and spiritual pioneer Dr. David R. Hawkins unlocks the power of love and the truth of karma, guiding you toward a profound new way of seeing reality.
In this new book, derived from Dr. David Hawkins’s popular Way to God lecture series, he explores the transformative power of Unconditional Lovingness and the spiritual significance of karma.
Dr. Hawkins unpacks the ineffable nature of love as a pathway to the Divine. He reveals how love manifests in countless forms—from duty and commitment to caringness and even love for the body—and invites us to recognize its presence as a constant of life. He explores traditional devotional practices, the power of true forgiveness, and the profound surrender that leads to spiritual freedom.
Then, he delves into the complexities of karma—how our “karmic inheritance” shapes our lives and offers opportunities for spiritual growth. He explains how this earthly realm functions as a purgatorial space, where individuals can undo negative karma, cultivate positive karma, and accelerate their spiritual evolution.
Through these teachings, you’ll begin to see that love is everywhere and to nurture those parts of yourself. Karma and Devotion offers deep insights into the journey of awakening, providing practical wisdom for those seeking to align with higher consciousness and divine truth.
