All My Dreams Come True
February 11, 1995
Dear Parents,
I have been collecting things for my new house – a big bucket for the bathroom (to store water in, because sometimes the water suddenly stops for hours at a time), a fan and big framed pictures of Rama and Swami. Lately I have been so happy and feel as if all my dreams have come true. Living in a beautiful forest in a little cottage, giving all time to remembering the Presence, seeing nice and devoted people, and receiving attention from Jnaneswari. Just being in her presence is enough – one is swept into a world of love and Light. Now – to make the experience everlasting, every second!
I am still going to the Library daily. The children are so good and sweet. It seems as if the Lord is finally Blessing me with seeing His Reality (a bit!) in all – whether kids or grownups. New people or known, I feel affection for them as if I am seeing God Himself. God is good – and He is everywhere!
May all be constantly immersed in the Light and Love, the Joy of the Lord!
Loka Samastha Sukhino Bhavantu.
Love,
Divya

Ramayana Readings
March 7, 1995
Dear Parents,
Now that Jnaneswari has discovered I know typing, she’s put me to work typing the ‘ashram news’ for the monthly journal from here. One man does the translation from the Telugu journal, then I type it up correcting small grammar and spelling mistakes. Then it is sent to the press for printing. It is only a job of two or three days, once a month.
Jnaneswari started reading the Ramayana some days ago, reading it aloud to devotees in her spare time, instead of listening to them gossip and relate their problems. When she found out I had Sathya Sai’s Rama story in Telugu, she asked to see it. After a sample reading, everyone demanded the other book be stopped and the “Sai Ramayana” be commenced! Yes, Swami does write so, so sweetly and in an attention-getting way. Needless to say, I am thrilled to hear her read Swami’s book. Truly a feast of bliss for me! Jnaneswari says this is the first time she ever read the Ramayana, previously she only heard about it.

All for now! Loka Samastha Sukhino Bhavantu.

Daiyu's Ascent
The well-learned, sweet, and innocent Tang Daiyu's world crumbles around her when her family's reputation falls. Her father, a disgraced official, and her mother are both executed by Emperor Jianyuan of Chang. She is left struggling to care for her toddler brother, Baobao. Then, two eunuchs from the palace come to visit. Tang Daiyu is forced to watch as her brother is wrenched from her. She is taken to the Imperial Palace and made into a maid serving Princess Ling of Chang. Tang Daiyu works her way up the ranks, and she is noticed by Prince Han, Liu Jin. As she and Prince Han get to know each other, outside forces threaten to tear them apart. When Chang is threatened with war, Tang Daiyu volunteers for an intermarriage with the southern kingdom of Heping. Tang Daiyu's past has made her stronger than she ever thought possible. She leaves the Imperial Palace and Chang. In Heping, she marries one of the princes and later become Empress of Heping. But when pieces of the truth regarding her parents' executions leak, she realizes that no one can be trusted. Except herself... an old friend, and a few exiles. With the help of Chang exiles and a master of martial arts, Tang Daiyu begins her rise from the ashes of her past. Her plan? Soar above those who made her into a pawn and take them down, sparing no one. ***Author's Note: This is an alternate version of China replacing the Western and Eastern Jin Dynasties. The Weiyang Palace in Chang'an and the Southern and Northern palaces in Luoyang are real, and I have tried to keep the various halls and their purposes historically accurate. The Nanning Palace and Lihua Palace don't exist in real life.*** *Daiyu's Ascent is a wuxia novel.* *Is not a fanfic* © All rights reserved

Rise of a Scarlet Devil (Regular+Draft Version)
A young girl slain during a war was brought back to life by some unknown force millennia later. She could only remember a vague face within her memories, uncertain as to who it was but there was one thing she did know. She needed to kill that person. But she was too weak, she needed to hide, to grow. She needed to flee from the battlefield her enemy reigns over. And to do so, she needed to run eastward, towards Helios, a safe haven for those who have lost their homes in the war. And where she would grow to become the strongest Hunter under her own strength. What was it that brought her back? Only time will tell. #Author's Note The novel is organized like this:Regular Chapters (Act, Title, Part (ranging from 1 to 9))Draft Chapter DisclaimerDraft Chapters (Entry Number, Perspective, Title, Part (ranging from i to ii)) Regular chapters are edited chapters that reflect the story aspect more while Draft chapters reflect plot progression more. An occasional interactive chapter will appear in the drafts but nowhere in the regular chapters. Expect changes when reading between Regular and Draft chapters as some events in the story may change in length or entirely removed/changed. Only read the draft version if you want a future view and/or opinion on the story and design elements. The main character is a human from a fantasy world reincarnated as a devil. The story possesses Reincarnators, Transmigrators, and Summoned Persons. though mainly focusing on Magic and other abilities such as Aura and Skills. Wizards (those who prepare arcane spells) and Mages (those who use elemental magic) are separate but seen as the same by common inhabitants of the world but clearly defined as different by more influential persons and by the circles themselves. The main character WILL not be a Mage or Wizard but will incorporate mana into her attacks to aid her as does any high-rank combatants. The system in the novel quantifies a person's abilities and keeps record of them but does not define natural ability, occasionally granting special abilities as skills to a person once prerequisites are met. There is no leveling system and no occupational systems in the novel featuring only a stat based and skill based system. Also, this novel is my first and will most likely be trash.
