Synopsis

Over the years the interpretation of scriptures has been ritualistic, divisive and worse, in the recent past, bordering on commercialization. As a result the analytical and rationale seeking modern mind has remained disinterested with the subject and reluctant to pursue the teachings contained therein. The true intent of the scriptures, on the other hand, is to help the mind tide over the ever existent turmoil within, through sensible teachings brought out in dialogues between inquisitive, questioning disciples and patient masters. An intent which has sadly remained isolated from the modern mind. This book is an attempt to recast and unfold in a simple manner some of the beautiful and common sense filled messages of Vedanta or the culmination of the ancient Indian scriptures. Messages, which have been tirelessly postulated by seers of the yore and the present, solely to help the modern mind break away from the shackles of despair towards a purposeful, fulfilling and happy life. The references made in the book include the Upanishads, Bhagvad Geeta, Bhagvata Purana and other inspiring anecdotes from the lives of the spiritually evolved.
