Prof. P. R. Mukund is an electronics engineer who has spent 36 years in academia and six years in industry. He is a globally acclaimed expert in the field of analog and radio frequency integrated circuit design and has led many research projects. for both the government and the semiconductor industry. He has published extensively in international journals and participated in conferences worldwide.

Prof. Mukund is also a student and teacher of Vedic science and spirituality, and guides hundreds of people in every aspect of life. In 2006, he started Tara Prakashana (taraprakashana.org), a non-profit trust that has saved thousands of palm-leaf manuscripts through the use of modern technology. His work has been reported in major news outlets such as BBC, MSNBC, CNN, The Times of India and other leading global media outlets.

Born and raised in India, Prof. P.R. Mukund teaches electrical engineering at the Rochester Institute of Technology, New York. Like most people, he was also full of misconceptions about the Vedic way of life.

On a trip to India in 1993, he met the renowned Vedic scholar Dr Bannanje Govindacharya and thus began his transformation. Till then, Prof. Mukund held the belief that it is the shishya (disciple) who searches for a guru (teacher); but after meeting Dr Govindacharya, he realized that the universe works the other way round-the guru finds the shishya. Just as a transformer in a mobile phone charger brings down the high voltage to a manageable level and charges a device, the guru funnels the infinite knowledge and energy present in the universe, matches it to the disciple's level of intake and pours it into them.

From mopping floors as a janitor after moving to the US in the '70s to becoming an engineer, Prof. Mukund is now helping cleanse people's minds using Vedic science. In this book, he explains how the 10 gunas-jnana, bhakti, vairagya, pragnya, medha shakti, dhriti, stithi, yoga, prana shakti and bala completely transformed his life and how they can transform yours too. He has put countless individuals on the path of fulfilment by helping them connect with the knowledge and wisdom gained from not only this but also previous lifetimes,

A few years ago, I was invited to speak at a conference on the theme of 'Science and Spirituality'. My talk was on 'Veda and Electronics', and the organizers expected an audience of around a hundred people. However, something unexpected happened just before my talk-hundreds of students from local engineering colleges turned up, so the organizers had to delay my talk and move it to a much bigger hall. I've had similar experiences when I gave talks on similar topics at Indian Institute of Technology campuses, Amity University, Jawaharlal Nehru University, People's Education Society University and numerous other venues in India.

In my chosen field of electrical engineering, I have given numerous technical talks the world over, but they never reach the level of enthusiasm that I see for my talks connecting 'science' and 'spirituality'.

Perhaps it is because it connects material science with energy science. If material science explains how things work, spiritual science explains why things work. These two domains are often treated as orthogonal viewpoints that cannot coexist. It is often thought that any science related to energy cannot pass the rigid test of material science, and as such, it cannot be scientific at all. The fact is that any scientific principle, material or otherwise, starts off as a hypothesis. A controlled experiment is designed to test its validity. After conducting the experiment repeatedly for many types of inputs, the hypothesis is either accepted as a scientific fact or discarded as baseless. This changes, over time, as new hypotheses are presented and science evolves. This very same process can be applied to energy-related hypotheses as well.
