Alesha Sivartha was a medical doctor, artist, lecturer and a deeply spiritual man. His writings and drawings speak clearly of his conviction in the oneness of Body and Mind, in the oneness of our Physical and Spiritual Constitutions.
The twelve chapters in The Book of Life correspond with Sivartha's twelve aspects of a well rounded human being. Almost all of his theories and mind maps boil down to the number Twelve (12). If his mind maps make your brain spin, refer back to this Table of Contents for clarification on his twelve fundamental themes. It was Dr. Sivartha's hope that all people of all ages would integrate one hour of our daily activities with the learning and practice of each of these twelve subjects.
The Book of Life is at once Scientific and Biblical: Evolutionist, Creationist, Messianic, and Spiritualist. All woven together to create a fascinating mixture of ancient and modern points of view. His father was a Hindu, his mother a Unitarian, and Sivartha believed that Science could finally answer the Deepest Mysteries to prove Religion. The Book of Life is Dr. Alesha Sivartha's record of such Discoveries from 1859 to 1878. Some might call it Biblical Humanism with a Judaic twist; others call it Theosophy.

Whispers With Sivartha is the dream child of Don Ross, one of Sivartha's rare non-Christian descendents, his great-great-grandson, a California Buddhist with Spiritualist tendencies.

Dedicated to Dr. Alesha Sivartha's Grand-Daughter who ignited my imagination with stories of the Rajah and Sivartha and my love for family history in general in 1975 my Grandma Zaida Marie Worden Ross (1904-1994) and her son, my father Russell Lee Ross (1939-2003).

Don's great-great-grandfather, Arthur Merton, MD, a.k.a., Dr. Alesha Sivartha, was the son of the Rajah Ram Mohun Roy.
Thanks to cousin Alan Ross of Texas, Don has had excerpts of earlier editions of The Book of Life online since 1999.
