Curiosity is the most basic virtue of existence. The curiosity is what keeps the world going and rising. Human, by nature, is a curious animal. Our mind generates hundreds of questions every single day. Only problem is we don’t always seek to get answers of these questions. We search for answers in various ways. While we find some explanations, many if these questions remain stuck in our minds. We need help of a spiritual master or Guru to find answers to these. But seeking that help is not equally feasible to everyone. And helping us with these questions is exactly what Swami Mukundananda has done, in his book “Questions you always wanted to ask”.
For everyone seeking insightful answers to the questions, this book gives easy access to wisdom that would otherwise be gained by sifting through endless piles of information and creating a lot of confusion. The book provides guidance on questions related to spirituality, philosophy, mind management, devotion, life’s dilemmas, professional mastery, self transformation and many more aspects.
In today’s information age, while it is an asset; to have a lot of information available at our fingertips; the inability to filter the valid information from invalid and differentiate authentic data from inauthentic guess work is a huge challenge as well. It’s like a flip side of the coin that comes as a package dealing with this information age! So, having the ultimate online resources with the internet age at its peak – accelerating our curiosity journeys and facilitating an entire arena of possibility – we also have regular encounters with misinformation, false information and incomplete half baked concepts out there. This is where the writer has helps us in the best way possible.
I have always tried to read Purans, Vedas and epics to understand critical concepts of life and management. I have always motivated others to read through the books and understand the information contained in them. We always need a comprehensive guide that could provide us the information in a crisp manner. Swamiji has provided us that comprehensive guide. The book is divided in 18 chapters very effectively, taking the reader on a journey from helping self to helping the society around.
Reading the bio of the author, indicating that he is an IIT and IIM alumni, I was mentally prepared for a complex writing. But to my surprise, the writing in the book is very easy to understand and escalates very effectively. A very sincere attempt seems to have been made, to explain every subject with sound reasoning and perfect logic. The book does not only satisfy the curiosity, but does so in the most convincing manner that leaves no room for conjecture. The answers are validated with relevant quotations from sacred texts, testimonies of other saints and personal insights of the writer. Relatable stories, scientific research and real life examples have been used to help understand the subject more effectively.
Whether you are spiritual or not, whether you are professional or not, have a family or not, you are a deep thinker or not; this book is going to help in some aspect of life or the other! Since it covers so many diverse topics and encompasses a spirit of guidance from Vedic wisdom, which can be the highest possible guidance even to our most mundane life activity queries. I wish every reader of the book gain a deeper understanding of life, uncover new ideas that will expand horizons, and acquire wisdom to solve personal problems and dilemmas.
