THE SECOND BOOK OF HIS 3-VOLUME SERIES, is based upon his learnings about life and existence derived from ancient Indian philosophy: Spiritualism is defined in the East as the science of higher consciousness and explains Oneness and the harmonious coexistence of Man with the Universe. These pages are about understanding the divine within us; how to live spiritually, moment to moment, and enjoy every aspect of life without assistance from any external source.
The niceties of life which we all crave, also create many struggles and conflicts. We reach for books on spiritual development or join spiritual classes or religious centres, hoping for clarity and salvation, only to realize we are more confused than before. In fact, our confusion has been compounded by complexity.
This is where this simple book speaks to us in a straightforward, down-to-earth manner, revealing there are no diktats we need to follow - only the voice within. We notice the change as through constant vigil, the sub-conscious takes over and we evolve by ourselves - alone; experientially.
GIAN KUMAR was born into a traditional Hindu family, in Burma (Myanmar). From childhood, his life held paradoxes. While he was educated at a Christian boarding school, which observed strict religious practices, these were diametrically opposed to the Hindu traditions and customs which were the norm when he went home for the holidays.
IN TODAY'S WORLD, IT IS ESSENTIAL to know the meaning and essence of spiritualism. When things do not work at home, with friends or at work, it is your spiritual quotient, which comes to your aid. Don't you agree that under the pretext of fulfilling desires, attachments and accumulations, we have stopped being humane? Lengthy spiritual discourses are proving to be of no use, if the essence of loving and caring for others is not inculcated.
I am indebted to the following people:
Friends and family members, who encouraged me at every step, indulging me during my lengthy monologues on the subject of Spirituality. Their invaluable critiques helped me tide over doubts and rough stages during the writing process;
My Editors, for improving form and content, and patiently re-reading drafts of the manuscript;
To my wife Komilla Kumar, thank you for your patience, love, support and inspiration.
To my children, Nadisha Gulati and Shreeya Kumar Bhola, who will always be my creative force.
Finally, I dedicate this in memory of my parents, my greatest inspiration, for making me who I am today.
