10 Gunas (Mindsets) for Jiva (You), Jivan (Life) and Moksha (Fulfilment)


 It is indeed a blessing to review the amazing book titled the 10 Gunas (Mindsets) for Jiva (You), Jivan (Life) and Moksha (Fulfilment) written by Prof. P. R. Mukund. 


The author had well described the 10 Gunas that leads to ultimate satisfaction. The 10 guiding principles are - Jnana, Bhakti, Vairagya, Pragnya, Medha Shakti, Dhriti, Stithi, Yoga, Prana Shakti and Bala. 


Jnana is knowledge that transforms into wisdom with experience. 


Wisdom leads to respect, devotion and passion which is collectively known as Bhakti. 


When an individual is facing something severe, trivial issues fade into insignificance - reaching the state of detached attachment which is Vairagya. 


Pragnya is the awareness of truth in our surroundings that go beyond normal perception. 


The ability to make good decisions in the present using the essential skills of the past is Medha Shakti. 


A sincere effort to grow these five traits will result in the other five traits that are essential for success in life. 


Dhriti is having confidence in ourselves and the universe in its ultimate righteousness which would give conviction and strengthen the values and beliefs, which is Stithi. 


A balanced life is Yoga, which gives the Prana Shakti or the energy to succeed. 


Bala is strength in physical, mental and spiritual layers.

Sita's Sister

 Being a lover of Ramayana, I thoroughly enjoyed reading this wonderful book on one of the unknown characters in the Ramayana.. ❤ Sita's Sister written by Kavita Kané  is a beautiful book written on Urmila who was the beloved sister of Sita and a loveable wife of Lakshman. So far, I had been reading Ramayana either from Ram's or from Sita's or from Raavan's perspective only. It was a great experience to read Ramayana from Urmila's perspective. The adventurous journey of the trio in the forest had so far been the interesting part of the Ramayana. The readers hardly get to know about the circumstances in Ayodhya. In this book, the readers can get a clear picture of what had happened in Ayodhya during the absence of Ram, Sita and Lakshman. Urmila as described in the book is a strong, intelligent, patient, sacrificing and a noble woman. She had been holding the royal family of Raghu together. Urmila had been their strength, comfort and a huge pillar of support. I loved

Saraswathi Civilization

 My Review on the book named "The Sarasvati Civilisation - A Paradigm Shift in Ancient Indian History" Written by Major General (Dr.) GD BAKSHI SM, VSM A wonderful and a very informative book  Major General (Dr.) GD BAKSHI SM, VSM is an author of over thirty books and over three hundred research papers in major journals. He is a graduate of the National Defense Academy. He has a PhD from the University of Madras.  I genuinely appreciate the tremendous amount of effort that the author has taken in order to research and compile the enormous data on Sarasvati civilisation.  The book is about a lost river that once sustained a civilisation spread over a vast area of about two million sqare kilometres. The Sarasvati river was mighter than the Brahmaputra. It ran for 4,600 kms from the Himalayas to the sea. It was in its prime around 5-6000 years ago. Around 1,900 BCE, it vanished due to a combination of tectonic plate shifts and a monotonic weakening of the monsoons.  The Indic ci
