Death as a thing has always fascinated us human beings since ages. More than life we are more curious about it. What else would you call when you see people having after death stories to narrate, wanting to experience past life, curious about when will they die, how will they die etc.  I to be honest am not curious about death, but yes life mystifies me. I have always wanted to learn more about it and this book seemed like a ready to read hand book on life.

The distance between your life and death is just one breath
 
About the author

Sadhguru is a Yogi, mystic and visionary.

Me thinks

The book’s format is like a questions and answers session with various questions on life and death being answered by Sadhguru. This format helps in easy reading as sometimes I would read the question I had in mind and then close the book to savour the meaning deep inside me. 

I was somehow not in a hurry to complete this book for reading it felt like having a conversation with an old friend. Discussing life, it’s various aspects, understanding the nuances and feeling like you have not even known it an ounce despite having spent so many decades on this earth.

That is the magic of Sadhguru’s words and his experiences of life leave you feeling perplexed as they push you to search for your own questions and answers on life. Some of the experiences shared had such depth that I was transported into a different state of mind where everything around me ceased to exist and all I could think of was the Oneness I shared with the Universe, the creator who gave me this life and would also give me death one day to experience.

A thoroughly enjoyable read and yes a definite to-be-read-again and again book for me!

Books on Cinema

For a long time, cinema was a world I wasn’t allowed to enter. I grew up in a home where movies were banned. No television, no glimpses of silver screens, and no songs echoing from old classics. For nearly a decade, cinema was a forbidden word like a secret behind a closed door.  And yet, like all things that carry truth and longing, it found its way to me. Stories have a way of finding you, slipping through cracks, whispered between pages, caught in melodies. Sometimes through the corners of borrowed books, sometimes through whispered summaries from classmates, sometimes just through the magnetic pull of posters and songs I wasn’t supposed to hear. 

Book Review: The Ultimate Reality by Gian Kumar (Book 3)

Introduction ISIN: 978-93-52013-74-6 Genre:  Non-fiction / Self help Publishers:  Celestial Books (Leadstart Corp) Price:  Rs. 199/- (  I got the book from the publisher for a review ) In this third book, the author Gian Kumar has ventured into experiential awareness. His earlier books had shown that in spite of material and digital comforts in the world today, we are still living a life of dualities. Happiness-unhappiness, good-bad, God-devil, all exist side by side. Following spiritual teachings of gurus or masters do not give the much needed solace; there still seems to be something missing. The mind, with its constant chatter and habit of delving into past experiences and anxieties about the future, does not allow to live in the present moment and be aware in the 'now'. By the time our mind can register it, there is already a new 'now' which has taken its place. Here, the author has brought us into a deeper existence, where through experiential realiz...
