This is the story of Sajani, who is worshipped as one of three living goddesses in the Himalayan kingdom of Nepal, and whose peaceful existence is contrasted with violent political turmoil that threatens their traditional way of life. With beautiful imagery and an intimate story, LIVING GODDESS unfolds a world of spirituality and political turbulence through the eyes of a young schoolgirl.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4982691334635850603-2547363053845946337?l=tomficklin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://tomficklin.blogspot.com/2009/12/living-goddess.html</link><author>tomficklin@aol.com (THOMAS R.
