Exclusive interview with the author

Q: What Inspired You To Write This Book?

A: My inspiration to write this book is driven by sheer sublime nature of ancient Indian scriptures full of philosophical richness, which has incredible power of reaching directly to the heart of learner with the means of interesting tales and stories. I wanted to discover the mystical realms of Moksha, through these mystical tales and present it to every truth seeker.

Q: Can You Tell Us About The Book?

A: This book aims to take a deep dive into an infinite ocean of wisdom left by divine beings, who created the great philosophical texts like Upanishads, Ramayana, and Mahabharata, and collect precious pearls in the form of fifteen short mystical tales, revealing the deepest mystical secrets of Moksha.

Q: What Does The Title Mean?

A: The title of this book can be best explained by the words of Lord of Death to Nachiketas in Kathopanishad- “There is one ruler for the Self (Atman) of all living beings who can take his one form into many other forms; the wise man who perceives him seated in oneself, will get eternal bliss and no others.” Taittiriya Upanishad’s Brahmanand Valli states that to reach that immortal bliss the five sheaths of Self have to be peeled to attain highest state of ananda maya kosha in which that Supreme Soul the ruler resides, like how Bhrigu attained the perfect bliss or paramananda.

Q: What Does Success Mean To You? What Is The Definition Of Success?
