About the author

––––––––

1

Zinovya Dushkova has Ph.D. degree in Philosophy. She is a writer, a historian, and a traveler. Dr. Dushkova has been awarded a series of awards and acknowledgements for her contribution to the spiritual development of society, and for her services in the scientific research on ecology of consciousness. She was ranked 46th on the list of the hundred most influential spiritual leaders of our time according to the British magazine Watkins’ Mind Body Spirit, along with Dalai‒Lama XIV, Pope Francis, Deepak Chopra, Sadhguru, the writer Paulo Coelho, etc.

Zinovya Dushkova has been engaged in expeditionary and research activities in Asia, America, Africa, Europe, Japan, etc., for more than thirty years. She has been searching for Truth and ancient knowledge for a long time in remote ancient monasteries and secret shrines hidden in the mountains, deserts and caves of India, Mongolia, Nepal and Tibet, where secret scrolls and archaic manuscripts, such as the secret Book of Dzyan, are stored. Mysterious trails in the Himalayas, Karakorum, Nilgiri, towards Kanchenjunga, Kailas, Everest and other mountain peaks led to secret Abodes of Light, from where the Call sounded. Zinovya Dushkova, like a hermit monk, comprehended the innermost pages of Life from those archaic manuscripts that were preserved in the most secret corners of Sikkim, Ladakh and other unexplored places of India, where she gained access to the secret Book of Dzyan, whose Stanzas were first published by Helen Petrovna Blavatsky and form the basis of the Secret Doctrine. Helen Ivanovna Roerich, like H. P. Blavatsky, also had access to the sacred books stored in secret vaults, from which the knowledge that was the basis of her numerous philosophical works was drawn. In the following years, Zinovya Dushkova has published another fragment from the secret Book of Dzyan called Stanzas of Love.

In general, since 1997, the author has published about 60 books with a total circulation of more than 300 thousand copies. These works, recorded in the Himalayas, as well as in the Karakorum and Nilgiri mountains, the Gobi Desert, the Pyrenees and other parts of our planet, have philosophical and ethical content and reflect the synthesis of science, religion, history and philosophy.

The books that carry Light — this is how the works of Zinovya Dushkova are often called. Readers are attracted by their extraordinary depth, sincerity, solemnity, life‒affirming and inspiring attitude, beauty and poetry of the presentation. A distinctive feature of the author's activity is Light, Kindness and Love, which permeate, like the Ray of Universal Wisdom, all her works. The main task that Zinovya Dushkova sets herself in her activity is to Resurrect Hope where it died, to ignite Love where it faded away, and to inspire with Life where its meaning has been lost. Comments from readers indicate that her books have helped many people to know and change themselves for the better, to find a purpose and meaning of their life, as well as to find solutions and answers to many life questions.

A beautiful bud has burst into blossom

on the smooth, delicate bosom

of Life’s Universal Waters.

To all the Cosmic Sons and Daughters

it has been resplendent with Fires.

Its petals have unfolded in choirs

by a single Breath of Eternity.

The White Lotus of My Beloved Lakshmi

— indeed, the very Flower of Love —

has become effulgent, shining from above

in all its Heavenly Glory.

The Gods have Opened Their Lips to tell the Story

of Fiery Love, higher than which one cannot find

anything in the whole World of Human- or Godkind.

Chapter I

1.  The Awakening of the Waters

Woman was the first to enter the house — the House of the Planet’s Spirit. She looked around and found it quite cramped. One thing was needed: to expand the horizons of vision by pushing aside any limiting frames. The field of activity was broad. And Woman set to work, having but one desire: to make the impossible possible.

The walls were standing firmly, and Time was required to shake their foundations. Millions, then billions of years flowed by. Gradually dense structures began losing their hardened features and forms were inevitably refined. Walls kept crumbling and became dilapidated. Even a stone can age, disintegrating into fibres before turning to dust. Thus, such coarse Matter acquires a rarefied structure, turning into the subtlest muslin, breathing like a veil of air where previously it posed an impenetrable wall.

The Power of Woman is in her weakness: like a drop of water, she wears down a stone, falling as a gentle tear into its coarse, indifferent, cold embrace. She hurts herself in touching sharp corners and freezes amidst the gloom chilling her soul, thereby turning into a clot of ice.

Who will warm this chilled creature? Who will melt this little chunk of ice by the fiery breath of their loving heart? And whose lips will embrace a drop of dew after warming it with their tender palms?! Where can the world derive its warmth from, if it itself has not been warmed by Woman? Stone incandesces only when it imbibes the heat of solar rays. What can a cold creature possibly give? Only cold.

Thus one is born to give warmth, like the Sun, while another’s destiny may be to absorb flaming gifts. And the warmth of the
