Open any page of this book of 365 Thoughts of Spiritual Wisdom, and you will drift into a cornucopia of various voices from towering scholars of spirituality speaking from personal experience.
Providing a wire-frame for the juxtaposition of the hoary sacred texts of Hinduism, the book offers a first acquaintance with them in a simplistic and authentic way -- all peppered with bite-sized excerpts ranging from the holy Vedas to the Puranic tales along with meaningful insights that whet the appetite.
If for any reason at all he fails, virtually the entire public sector will have to be written off for the next twenty years, noted the panel that chose V. Krishnamurthy as the Business India Businessman of the Year in 1987. Management of a business enterprise in India is a lot more difficult than in other countries. There are far more uncertainties that an Indian manager has to encounter while performing his tasks-even more so in state-owned companies, often synonymous with inefficiency, than in private ones. But Krishnamurthy, through his exemplary stewardship of three enterprises, emerged as the pride of India's public sector in the 1970s and 1980s. At Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited, he saved the company from imminent disintegration and dispelled Indira Gandhi's impression that Indian managers do not have the ability to manage large organizations. At Maruti Udyog, he was given the responsibility of not just manufacturing a car but of modernizing the automobile industry itself. Steel Authority of India was almost a sunset company when he took over but he shook up the organization from its very foundations and put it back in a leadership position. At the Helm is the story of how a boy from the temple town of Karuveli in Tamil Nadu starts out as a technician at airfields during the Second World War but goes on to script the biggest success stories of young India's fledgling public sector over the next five decades.
The Gītā is considered to be one of the most exhaustive scriptures on the spiritual ascent of man in the form of a dialogue with God. Specially focusing on man’s pursuit of happiness, the book attempts to summarise the entire Gita teaching into a two-part recipe for finding the happiness within oneself, namely ’Take lightly all that happens to you. And take all our obligations seriously, without fear of results or favour of rewards.’ To arrive at this methodology for action, the author relice heavily on the Vedantic school of advaita (non-duality and its maxim, “The real ‘I’ is neither the doer nor the experiencer.”) The philosophy of non-duality itself is explained in the simplest terms through a long conversation. Unusual diagramatical presentations of the core content of the book add clarity to the comprehension.
This is a modest compilation of 8 essays in Vedanta and around 40 summaries of speeches given by experts in Global Festival of Oneness 2021. Among the first 8 essays the eighth one is what is called Vedanta Sopanam in 27 shlokas; this constitutes the crux of the book as indicated by the design of the cover. These give you spiritually graded levels of shlokas from various scriptures. They take you from rock bottom to the highest spiritual level catering to successive age levels 20, 40, 60 and 80. The other forty summaries by me provide a wide supplement under various headings. Each of these stands on its own and can be enjoyed individually also.
Kanchi Paramacharya, Sri Chandrasekharendra Swamigal lectured on Soundaryalahari in the first quarter of the last century. Ra.Ganapathy, one of his ardent students, recorded and published them in ‘Deivathin Kural’, a voluminous tome of 700 pages. These Tamil lectures have now been condensed, translated into English and published herein. The exposition style here is one where it resembles a direct English lecture by Paramacharya himself. The subject has been dealt in great depth by the Paramacharya and thus requires the reader to approach this translation as a study book rather than one for light reading.
Thanks to the many seekers for their questions on different concepts of deity, worship and spirituality in Sanatana Dharma, which propelled the author to provide a graded, elaborate response for clarification. The answers herein cover a wide range of topics in copious detail from the most elementary processes to the peaks of Vedanta. Even a random opening of the book can be revelatory.
