The meaning of Karma stands distorted by centuries of misplaced and self-appeasing conceptualization. Karma remains an enigma to the few who refuse to accept compromised notions. This book is for them.

If to live rightly is to act rightly, then what is right action? This question has always tormented us. The scriptures answer this, but without stooping from their cryptic heights. Nor do they advise how their ancient words apply to the present. In Karma, Acharya Prashant provides the… Show more

The meaning of Karma stands distorted by centuries of misplaced and self-appeasing conceptualization. Karma remains an enigma to the few who refuse to accept compromised notions. This book is for them.

If to live rightly is to act rightly, then what is right action? This question has always tormented us. The scriptures answer this, but without stooping from their cryptic heights. Nor do they advise how their ancient words apply to the present. In Karma, Acharya Prashant provides the missing link by imparting clarity, leaving nothing to conjecture or belief.

The book demolishes the myths surrounding action and decision

by bringing to focus the actor, rather than the action. When we ask, 'What to do?' the book handholds us into 'Who is the doer? What does he want from the deed?' This shift provides the solutions, and finally the dissolution of the question. Acharya Prashant demolishes the high palaces of ubiquitous

beliefs, and when these come crashing down, the reader discovers that they never had any foundations in truth. Meet this work not with the armour of beliefs, but bare-chested, like a lover. If you can challenge the tyrannies of tradition and obscurantism and greet the naked truth, you will love this book. Show less

The Bhagavad Gita is special because it is narrated in a very worldly, very practical setting.

Bhagavad Gita is not guru sitting under a shady banyan tree in the tranquil silence of a holy jungle, sermonising to some pliant, obedient, willing student.

Neither is the setting tranquil at all, nor is the sermon academic at all, and least of all is the student pliant and willing.

Neither is the setting tranquil at all, nor is the sermon academic at all, and least of all is the student pliant and willing.

It's a real-life setting in which you do not have the luxury of a formal podium, a formal appointment, a formal code of conduct. It's the war chariot, not the temple.

There are armies around, not silent idyllic trees and cute animals, and the one being spoken to is a biased, emotional and unwilling listener, not some keen student.

Life and death depend on this discourse in the literal sense, not just figuratively. Literally, life and death depend on this discourse. Therefore, this discourse has so much potency. Show less

Liberation movements seldom serve the purpose if the mind of the individual is not liberated.

One such movement is the Women's Liberation Movement that aims to give political and social equality to women, but doesn't address the reason that causes all enslavement in the first place.

One such movement is the Women's Liberation Movement that aims to give political and social equality to women, but doesn't address the reason that causes all enslavement in the first place.

Objectification of the woman leads to her enslavement. The world exploits her by reducing her to merely a physical object; and she cannot fight the exploitation till she remains identified with her physicality.

Acharya Prashant compassionately suggests the right place of the body, its urges, and throws light on the path for the liberation of the mind of the woman.

In author's words: A woman rises from being an object of lust to a deity worth worshiping when she drops her womanliness. Show less

Advait has since long been revered as the crown jewel of all spiritual philosophies.

However, there are very few books, if any at all, that practically demonstrate the presence, applications, methods and benefits of living as per the golden teaching of Advait-Vedanta.

This book is a much needed and rare attempt to bring spirituality and philosophical teachings to everyday life.

The author's genius lies in being delightfully able to bridge the abstract world of theorizations and principles with day-to-day circumstances, happenings, emotions and relationships.

With the author, Advait is no longer a transcendental idea, rather it is something that breathes, lives, and grows with us in our routine affairs, and enriches our life and our world as a blessing.

The fun starts when the otherwise intimidating philosophy is revealed to the reader as immensely intimate and easily, practically implementable.

This is a book not just for the mind, but for life. Show less
