  • Karma - Why Everything You Know About It Is Wrong

    Penguin Random House

    The meaning of Karma stands distorted by centuries of misplaced and self-appeasing conceptualization. Karma remains an enigma to the few who refuse to accept compromised notions. This book is for them.

    If to live rightly is to act rightly, then what is right action? This question has always tormented us. The scriptures answer this, but without stooping from their cryptic heights. Nor do they advise how their ancient words apply to the present. In Karma, Acharya Prashant provides the…

    The meaning of Karma stands distorted by centuries of misplaced and self-appeasing conceptualization. Karma remains an enigma to the few who refuse to accept compromised notions. This book is for them.

    If to live rightly is to act rightly, then what is right action? This question has always tormented us. The scriptures answer this, but without stooping from their cryptic heights. Nor do they advise how their ancient words apply to the present. In Karma, Acharya Prashant provides the missing link by imparting clarity, leaving nothing to conjecture or belief.

    The book demolishes the myths surrounding action and decision

    by bringing to focus the actor, rather than the action. When we ask, 'What to do?' the book handholds us into 'Who is the doer? What does he want from the deed?' This shift provides the solutions, and finally the dissolution of the question. Acharya Prashant demolishes the high palaces of ubiquitous

    beliefs, and when these come crashing down, the reader discovers that they never had any foundations in truth. Meet this work not with the armour of beliefs, but bare-chested, like a lover. If you can challenge the tyrannies of tradition and obscurantism and greet the naked truth, you will love this book.

  • 365 days in Love

    PrashantAdvait Foundation

    365 days in Love takes us to a beautiful journey which gives a totally different insight into the most important aspect of our lives, Love.

    Each quotation offers a new way of looking at our life, which helps us to reflect on our behaviour, decisions, opinions and get to the very depths of our consciousness.

    Without making Love into a concept for the reader, it takes you to 'That' which is beyond all concepts, notions and ideas. 'That', which we are really looking for.

  • आध्यात्मिक भ्रांतियाँ

    Diamond Books

    भाषा सीमित है, और इन सीमाओं कटु बोध जितना आध्यात्मिक ग्रन्थों का अध्ययन समय होता है उतना और कभी नहीं होता। प्राचीन काल से ही मनुष्य ने ईश्वरीय अनुकम्पा को शब्दों द्वारा दूसरों तक पँहुचाने के निरंतर प्रयास किए है, परन्तु सदी-दर-सदी संतों व रहस्यदर्शियों के सरलतम वचनों को भी मनुष्य ने अपने अहंकार की बलि चढ़ा दिया है।

  • Advait in Everyday Life

    PrashantAdvait Foundation

    Advait has since long been revered as the crown jewel of all spiritual philosophies. However, there are very few books, if any at all, that practically demonstrate the presence, applications, methods and benefits of living as per the golden teaching of Advait-Vedanta.

    This book is a much needed and rare attempt to bring spirituality and philosophical teachings to everyday life. The author's genius lies in being delightfully able to bridge the abstract world of theorizations and…

    Advait has since long been revered as the crown jewel of all spiritual philosophies. However, there are very few books, if any at all, that practically demonstrate the presence, applications, methods and benefits of living as per the golden teaching of Advait-Vedanta.

    This book is a much needed and rare attempt to bring spirituality and philosophical teachings to everyday life. The author's genius lies in being delightfully able to bridge the abstract world of theorizations and principles with day-to-day circumstances, happenings, emotions and relationships. With the author, Advait is no longer a transcendental idea, rather it is something that breathes, lives, and grows with us in our routine affairs, and enriches our life and our world as a blessing. The fun starts when the otherwise intimidating philosophy is revealed to the reader as immensely intimate and easily, practically implementable.

    This is a book not just for the mind, but for life.

    The book throws light on how the search of happiness is a futile one. With utmost simplicity, he explains how freedom from both happiness and sadness is the ultimate peace.

Rather, he deals with issues in a very simple, personal way and through this book extends an invitation to join the ongoing existential party.

  • Milestones to Success

    PrashantAdvait Foundation

    While innumerable books have been penned down by contemporary motivational speakers and writers on success, ambition, motivation, positive thinking and accomplishments; very few books, if any at all, have talked of what success actually is and how it is different from a socially-defined set of parameters. Being an IIT-Delhi, IIM-Ahmedabad and an ex Civil Services Officer himself, the author very compassionately, steps into the shoes of an ambitious mind and invites it to be sensitive towards…

    While innumerable books have been penned down by contemporary motivational speakers and writers on success, ambition, motivation, positive thinking and accomplishments; very few books, if any at all, have talked of what success actually is and how it is different from a socially-defined set of parameters. Being an IIT-Delhi, IIM-Ahmedabad and an ex Civil Services Officer himself, the author very compassionately, steps into the shoes of an ambitious mind and invites it to be sensitive towards the incessant suffering caused due to this burning desire to achieve. He vividly talks of how understanding of 'your' real aim will bring you to peace even during the race. He jovially remarks on how playing hard and not working hard will be a more sensible way of moving towards a goal. Author's genius lies in the fact that he has very simply answered the most intricate and complex questions that arise in the mind of every student and working professional, giving clarity on success, a topic that haunts them perpetually.

    Personality: The Real Hero Within, is not a book meant to reinforce our pre-existing notions about personality, rather it is a book that questions some of our basic assumptions regarding 'Personality' and Personality Development'.

    Acharya Prashant, the author of several other master works like Book of Myths, Advait in Everyday Life, The Lover You Have Been Missing, etc., presents, in this particular book, an utterly fresh and unprecedented definition of Personality. He does so by raising some pertinent questions like:
    1. What exactly is Personality, and how is it different from Individuality?
    2. Does Personality Development, an almost global cultural obsession today, mean wearing a mask?
    3. Is it possible to live an authentic life and yet have a good personality?

    Speaking to an audience obsessed with 'Personality Development,' he presents them with a path breaking and radical definition of Personality as he declares, "Let personality be the manifestation of your essence."
    __________________________________________

    Do you feel agitated by the mask(s) you have to wear? Do you wish to have a fearless, unmasked personality?
    If yes, then this book is a must read for you!

    PrashantAdvait Foundation

    कबीर के वचनों को समझने का प्रयत्न मानवता ने बारम्बार किया है। किन्तु संत को समझने के लिए कुछ संत जैसा होना प्रथम एवं एकमात्र अनिवार्यता है। संत जो कहते हैं उनके अर्थ दो तलों पे होते हैं - शाब्दिक एवं आत्मिक। समाज ने कबीर के वचनों के शाब्दिक अर्थ कर, सदा उन्हें अपने ही तल पर खींचने का प्रयास किया है, आत्मिक अर्थों तक पहुँच पाना उसके लिए दुर्गम प्रतीत होता है। आचार्य प्रशांत ने उन वचनों के आत्मिक अर्थों का रहस्योद्घाटन कर कुछ ऐसे मोती मानवता के समक्ष प्रस्तुत किये हैं जो जीवन की आधारशिला हैं। आज…

    कबीर के वचनों को समझने का प्रयत्न मानवता ने बारम्बार किया है। किन्तु संत को समझने के लिए कुछ संत जैसा होना प्रथम एवं एकमात्र अनिवार्यता है। संत जो कहते हैं उनके अर्थ दो तलों पे होते हैं - शाब्दिक एवं आत्मिक। समाज ने कबीर के वचनों के शाब्दिक अर्थ कर, सदा उन्हें अपने ही तल पर खींचने का प्रयास किया है, आत्मिक अर्थों तक पहुँच पाना उसके लिए दुर्गम प्रतीत होता है। आचार्य प्रशांत ने उन वचनों के आत्मिक अर्थों का रहस्योद्घाटन कर कुछ ऐसे मोती मानवता के समक्ष प्रस्तुत किये हैं जो जीवन की आधारशिला हैं। आज की परिस्थिति में जीवन को सरल एवं सहज भाव में व्यतीत कर पाने का साहस, आचार्य जी के शब्दों से मिलता है।

    कबीर, जो सदा सत्य के लिए समर्पित रहे, उनके वचनों के गूढ़ एवं आत्मिक अर्थों से अनभिज्ञ रह जाना वास्तविक जीवन के मिठास से अपरिचित रह जाने के सामान है, कृपा को उपलब्ध न होने के सामान है।

    प्रौद्योगिकी युग में थपेड़े खाते हुए मनुष्य के उलझे जीवन के लिए ये पुस्तक प्रकाश स्वरुप है।

  • सम्बन्ध

    PrashantAdvait Foundation

    जीवन सम्बन्ध है। व्यक्ति का व्यक्ति से सम्बन्ध, प्रकृति से सम्बन्ध, समाज से सम्बन्ध। इन सम्बन्धों का आधार क्या है? क्या है हमारे सम्बन्धों की वास्तविकता? क्या हमारे सम्बन्ध डर, लालच, मोह, आसक्ति की छाया मात्र हैं, या ये प्रेम की अभिव्यक्ति हैं? क्या हमारे सम्बन्ध अकेलेपन से बचने के उपाय हैं, या आन्तरिक पूर्णता का प्रस्फुटन? इस पुस्तक में वक्ता ने जीवन सम्बन्धित इन प्रश्नों पर प्रकाश डाला है, और सच्चे प्रेम से अवगत कराया है।
