Horin Nama
By Pir Azmot Ali
Translated by Roger Gwynn Published by Sylheti Translation & Research, London, UK
Horin Nama is a portion of a longer manuscript poem or puthi names Gafil Nosihot by Pir Azmot. It is a deeply moving story from Islamic tradition and orally recounted generation after generation. Although outwardly the story tells of the prophet Hazrat Muhammad's (SW) self sacrifice in answer to a mother deer's plea for help, in reality it has a deeper meaning which provides a model for all humanity to follow. The true meaning becomes clear to any who take the trouble to think deeply. Then the story becomes an inspiration to pursue the highest human qualities, especially strong faith and brotherly love. Above all, this story glorifies the unity and mighty power of the Creator. Sylheti Translation & Research (STAR) is in a London based association of those who love Sylhet's language and heritage.

By Greg Thomson
(Version: April 2011)
The purpose of Phase 5, Native-to-Native Discourses, is to get you to Phase 6, Self-Sustaining Growth, to get you to the point where you will continue growing steadily through your on-going life experience alone after your life is dominated by a full work schedule, and as you travel the very long road toward host-likeness. (Consistent with more social-centred understanding, in the GPA, “host-like” seems more appropriate in many contexts than “native-like” which has more of an individualistic and cognitivist flavour, at least to me.)
