21 Timeless Tales is a contemplative journey through the inner landscapes of the human soul, told through twenty-one deeply reflective short stories guided by the quiet wisdom of Shree Shambav. Each tale unfolds during simple moments of travel-by rivers, forests, villages, roads, and silent nights-where ordinary scenes open doors to extraordinary truths.

These are not stories driven by plot alone, but by presence.

As Shree Shambav journeys with his devotees, questions naturally arise:

Why does abundance still feel empty?

Why does suffering shape growth?

Where does war truly begin?

Is silence absence-or the deepest answer?

Why do we fear crossing the unseen rivers within us?

In response, Shree Shambav offers parables-of rivers that never reach the ocean, roads that become temples, cracked stones shaped into beauty, lighthouses standing through storms, healers learning their limits, and birds hesitating at the edge of flight. Each story is layered with metaphor and meaning, revealing that life's greatest teachings often arrive quietly, disguised as everyday moments.

Blending the simplicity of ancient oral storytelling with the emotional clarity of modern spiritual insight, 21 Timeless Tales explores themes of love and loss, justice and mercy, patience and surrender, faith and fear, power and humility. These stories do not instruct or impose beliefs; instead, they invite reflection-allowing readers to arrive at their own truths.

What makes this collection unique is its gentle restraint. The wisdom is never forced. Silence is honoured. Questions are left open where answers must be lived, not explained. The stories work slowly, subtly-reshaping perception rather than demanding agreement.

This book is for readers who seek depth without heaviness, spirituality without dogma, and meaning without noise. It is for those who find themselves pausing mid-life, mid-question, mid-journey-wondering not how to reach faster, but how to live truer.

Whether read in quiet solitude or returned to again and again, 21 Timeless Tales becomes more than a book. It becomes a companion-one that listens as much as it speaks.

If you believe stories can heal, awaken, and gently realign the soul, these pages are waiting for you.

Schools and Informal Learning in a Knowledge-Based World
<p>This book has two purposes: To open up the debate on the role of informal education in schooling systems and to suggest the kind of school organizational environment that can best facilitate the recognition of informal learning. Successive chapters explore what is often seen as a duality between informal and formal learning. This duality is particularly so because education systems expend so much time and effort in certifying formal knowledge often expressed in school subjects reflecting academic disciplines.Recognizing the contribution informal learning can make to young people's understanding and development does not negate the importance of valued social knowledge: That complements it. Students come to school with knowledge learnt from their families, peers, the community and both traditional and social media. They should not have to "unlearn" this in order to enter the world of formal learning. Rather, students' different learning "worlds" should be integrated so that each informs the other. In a knowledge-based society, all learning needs to be valued.</p><p>Some contributors to this book reflect on how new educational systems could be created in a move away from top-down authoritarian and bureaucratic management. Such open systems are seen to be more welcoming in acknowledging the importance of informal learning. Others provide practical examples of how informal learning is currently recognized. Some attention is also paid to the evaluation of informal learning. A key objective of the work presented here is to stimulate debate about the role of informal learning in knowledge-based societies and to stimulate thinking about the kind of reforms needed to create more open and more democratic school learning environments. </p>

Community Participation with Schools in Developing Countries: Towards Equitable and Inclusive Basic
<p>The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) (2016-2030) set by the United Nations in 2015 restated the importance of universal primary education for all, and specifically discuss quality, equity, and inclusion in basic education. To achieve this, the role of community has been emphasized and participation has become a "buzzword" in international development over the past several decades. Despite the growing attention to community participation in school management, previous literature has shown mixed results in terms of its actual practice and its impacts on quality, equity, and inclusion in education. </p><p>This book deepens the contextual understanding of community in developing countries and its involvement in schools in general, and its impact on quality, equity, and inclusion of school education in particular. By presenting various case studies in Asia, Africa, Latin America, and a post-conflict state in Europe, the book analyses commonalities and differences in the ways communities are involved and cast their impacts and challenges. The book contributes knowledge on the ways in which community involvement could work in developing countries, the detailed processes and factors that make community participation work in different dimensions, and remaining challenges that scholars and practitioners still need to be concerned and mindful in the field.</p><p>This book will appeal to both researchers and practitioners who are concerned about the community participation approach for the SDGs. </p>
