Each one of us desires and works hard to lead a happy and blissful life. Happiness is quintessentially to be learned and earned the right way with own efforts without dependence on external world of objects and people.

At later stage in life, however, the very desire shifts for something substantial, the essence of humanity, the seeking of Spirituality. Interestingly most of the modern day people wish salvation and bliss without letting go all they have got. On the contrary, world of attachments and Spirituality are diametrically opposite to each other. The perfect roadmap, clear purpose and right tools help navigate through the thin dividing line. Since it is like travelling through an unknown path less travelled, tons of commitment and practice become essential.

One is to learn multiple practices and methods available besides unlearning many things existing. The journey involves enhancing self-awareness, seeking self-realized truth and striving hard to enhance fundamental human virtues like morality, ethics, compassion and empathy. Both Yoga and Meditation need be mastered for continuing right practicing over years and years.

This book addresses the hurdles involved and provides a practical path in a hand holding manner. It provides a new perspective on Spirituality sans traditional philosophies and explanations. It is a travelogue for every curious and genuine seeker who refuses to settle for a life filled with ignorance about self, others and this visual world. (jacket)
