This book is a collection of: “Pearls of wisdom, in the necklace of life, for the beauty of the soul.”To seek is the nature of the living force. The search of the soul seems never-ending. But the real need is not just to seek, but to seek the right thing from the right source.Wisdom is the quality of having experience, knowledge and good judgment about the truths of life. Essentially, knowledge that not just informs but also actually transforms is called wisdom. For example, a diamond is nothing but an ordinary piece of coal, which, with the help of nature’s wisdom, has transformed into the most precious jewel. Similarly, the soul with the help of the right knowledge from the right source has the potential of being transformed into The Real You. When the sun shines on a snow-capped mountain, the layers of snow melt down helplessly. Similarly, when the sun-like wisdom shines on a covered entity, layers of ignorance start melting away, thus uncovering a The Real You. Real learning has to be holistic and not just in one dimension. When learning happens using multiple faculties, the depth of its influence is always greater. Historically, knowledge has always been combined with art. Our experience and the experience of the world is that each form of learning can influence us equally powerfully. So in this book you will find a combination of the wisdom of the heart with the wisdom of the art. This combined wisdom can make us ponder, wonder and help us overcome the blunder of ignorance which leads to suffering and sorrow. This book is a collection of:“Pearls of wisdom, in the necklace of life, for the beauty of the soul.”

Evolution conveys change, growth and elevation. When seen from a biological perspective it conveys evolution of the species from having lower abilities to those having higher abilities. A diametrically different way of seeing evolution is to see it from the perspective of evolution of consciousness.
In Biological evolution the change happens externally. But in the evolution of consciousness the change happens internally. Handling external changes is task of nature and handling internal changes is the task of spirit. Biologically evolution may be debatable but in terms consciousness evolution can be experienced. ‘Evolve’ is a book which helps us handle and make internal changes and thus facilitate the evolution in our consciousness. ‘Evolve’ is about growing lotuses in a desert. How can lotuses grow in a desert? A heart which is fearful of uncertainities, lacking confidence, negative in its approach, always conflicting and having no goal, is like a desert. Even a parched desert can grow lotuses if it rains continuously for days together.“This 2 minute wisdom of ‘Evolve’ is like a incessant shower of rainfall on our hearts. Thus facilitating our desert like hearts to grow lotuses.”

Life is not a matter of chance. It is a matter of choice. In fact life is a series of choices. Happiness is a choice. So is misery. Honesty is a choice; so is dishonesty. However, in essence, the only choice every human ever has is to allow either internal voices to influence one’s external choices; or to allow others’ external choices to influence internal voices. By tuning in to one’s inner voice, ably guided by the time-tested wisdom of scriptures, one learns the fine art of voicing his choice; thereby becomes like a coconut – tough externally but soft internally and lasting many seasons. But if one chooses to hear others voices, then one becomes like a lichee -soft and sweet externally but hiding a seed of internal frustration and eventually lasting only one short season. ‘Voice Your choice’, is a collection of thought provoking articles that distill the mature wisdom of Mahabharata and Ramayana to assist one in empowering the inner voice. -

Witness their confrontation with trying situations and the wonderful golden lessons of character that they exhibit! Relationship Struggles – Learn the conflicts that Lord Siva, Sati and her father Daksa faced when dealing with each other. This is even more deadly than a love triangle! It’s a triangle of misunderstanding and misjudgement! Obstinate Son – Everyone thinks their child is difficult. But just see how even obstinacy can be fruitful if aimed at the lotus feet of the Lord. Dhruva achieved what no one in creation could (nor would ever) and his story is heart wrenchingly narrated in the pages of the Bhagavatam. A Pious Father, A Pugnacious Son and A Perfected Grandson – The family line of King Anga, Vena and Prithu Maharaja is a depiction of the saying “every cloud has a silver lining”. Prithu Maharaj is so glorious that the Bhagavatam spends 9 chapters discussing his entire life. A Graphic Allegory – Heard of Aesop’s Fables or Pancatantra? Those are child’s tales compared to Narada Muni’s presentation that would stir a man from his kingly seat to take to the path of perfection. The story of Puranjana is the story of every being in this world. A Song That Kept Them Going On – The Pracetas; 10 brothers who shared everything in life, from activities to glories to soon even a wife, had the great fortunate of hearing Lord Siva sing in praise of Lord Krishna (Rudra Gita).

Bhagavata Subodhini Canto 5 and 6The spiritual feelings and emotions portrayed by the characters inSrimad Bhagavatam become our own when we position ourselves in their shoes.Allow an irresistible sentiment of devotion enter our hearts by trying to understand their exemplary attitudes and responses in trying situations. Also get a glimpse of the workings and structure of cosmos which lies hidden from the imperfect vision of modern cosmologists. Enter fire and it will burn you Nature of the material world is that it is entangling! Witness the wondrous working and influence of the material nature on a dispassionate renunciant, Maharaj Priyavrata, who enters into her arena. His unexpected 'entanglement,' phenomenal activities, exalted dynasty, and finally liberation is a subject matter worth reading and contemplation. Ideal rule, ideal teachings, ideal renunciation Troubled by the monarchy of exploitative monarchs, the modern world transformed into the Secular states. Get the first hand experience of the original servant monarch, King Risabhadev. An exemplary reign like his is sought by intelligent subjects. The incomparable rule, superexcellent activities and teachings of King Rsabhadev, discussed in the pages of Srimad Bhagavatam, is inspirational for all time to come. Carelessness - Lord saves but not without teaching a lesson Are you callous and careless in your spiritual practices? You won’t remain after knowing the saga of King Bharat, whose little inattention costed him two extra births to attain the Absolute Truth. Instructions from a palanquin carrier Heard of stories wherein a king becomes a pauper and a pauper a king! In this narration, an ordinary palanquin carrier turns out to be a learned sage and the king to be an ignorant common man. Herein, Jada Bharata humbles King Rahugana by subdueing his pride with words of knowledge. Exposing the happiness that pervades this world as mental concoctions, Jada Bharata uncovers the ignorance of King Rahugana about his real position. Naked form of material world A word of caution! This narration exposes one’s sinful desire, one’s precarious situation in family life, one’s miscalculation of happiness and worthless endeavour for happiness. A materially attached person might find this harsh truth to be unpalatable. Seeing the unseen cosmos through the eyes of Scriptures Be ready to make a leap of faith to accept the Vedic model of the universe. Imperfect senses see even the obvious things imperfectly. Scriptures are perfect. They show things as they are. Eager to Sin? Think once Hell and heaven are not myth. Of course they are consciousness, but places too. This narration describes about the workings of the criminal department in the cosmic management. A soul with criminal activity has no way to escape but to reform. The graphic description of 28 hells and the kind of punishment the accused undergo there is dreadful. The Glorious Holy name of the Lord A story of a young pure hearted Brahman who was lead off in a most unruly fashion by the senses and the mind, in the association of a prostitute. Although destined to enter hell, still how he attains liberation by utterance of the holy name of Narayana forms the central theme of this account. Opposing services - common goal A practical example of how two bonafide servants can have two conflicting services from the same master. An instructive narrative of Prajapati Daksha and Narada Muni! Pride – cometh before the fall When a person becomes proud, he is already fallen. What happen later are just details! Srimad Bhagavatam showcase the mistakes of great personalities like Indra to warn practicing devotees against the evils of pride. Opportunity for service even in curse Behold the attractive qualities of a devotee, whose all activities are directed only for the pleasure of Lord Hari.
