Power Publisher’s New Release: Butterflies, Parottas & the Bhagavad Gita by Hariharan M.D.

Oct. 10, 2012 - PRLog -- Butterflies, Parottas & the Bhagavad Gita  is a book on the ancient wisdom of Gita interspersed with a contemporary tale of two flawed, unlikely men. The two men are pushed by life to come to terms with the Gita’s philosophy. They are uninterested. And they resisted. But life had other plans for them. When they finally did it, they found themselves & their lives transformed radically thanks to the book.
A dermatologist by profession, Dr. Hariharan M.D, the author of this work is an adherent of Vedanta & a disciple of Sri Ramananda Ashram, Palakad. He takes us on an informal & illuminating journey in his book, through the wisdom of Vedanta & the Bhagavad Gita. He has made the work an engrossing read through interspersing the philosophy with an absorbing present day tale of two doctors.
He explains the reason for writing the book this way:  "I have been through a decade-long intellectual world tour – through various psychological, philosophical & spiritual theories of the West – only to come back & find it all articulated already, & quite well, in our own backyard: in the ancient teachings of Vedanta & the Gita. Having got introduced to those sublime teachings, I felt that those treasures of spiritual knowledge of our country should be imparted to people who can benefit from it the most - our youngsters. And that feeling wouldn’t leave me. Hence this book. The book speaks in the language of today’s youngsters & tries to acclimatise them to the true essence of Hinduism, & of religion itself, separated from all the chaff.
Many great Gurus have written excellent commentaries on the Gita. This is for a change written by a student - an inquisitive, rational thinking student. After all, the well meaning words of a parent to his son, say to quit smoking, may not always be heeded. But when the same is said to him by a friend, a previous smoker who has now quit the habit, it does connect more. It is in such a spirit this book is written.”
The book takes its readers on a sparkling, fun-filled & illuminating journey through the wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita. A journey that will change the way we look at life in the world forever.
