About the Book

WHAT HAS LIFE TAUGHT ME
Some eminent personalities of the present-day,
leaders of thought and action, speak in this book about
the lessons they have learnt from their eventful lives.
Each one of them, who has attained success and
celebrity in a particular field, looks back reflectively
on the course of his life, on his failures and
achievements. It will be seen from their accounts that
their lives were marked by an interplay of fate and
circumstance and that a kind Providence gave them
the wisdom and the opportunity to surmount
obstacles in their way. The lessons that they have
learnt from their lives are only amplifications of the
central maxim that "where there is Dharma, there is
Victory," that there are no short -cuts to success and
that it cannot be achieved bypassing the etemal laws
of morality.
The contributors, who are from various sections
of contemporary life, write with a revealing candour
and, in not a few cases, are unsparing in the criticism
of themselves. High-lighting the situation and events,
rather than projecting themselves, they take care to
keep their personalities in the background thereby
sustaining the interest of the reader throughout.
