Book Description
A humorous look at a usually lofty and intimidating topic—the meaning of life—this book documents one man's uphill journey to enlightenment. Explaining the attractions (and pitfalls) of a pick-and-choose approach, the discussion covers Eastern and Western beliefs, all the while elucidating their practices through personal anecdotes. An attack of existentialism, a dogged attempt to discover God through poetry, a doomed "holiday" at a health farm, and time spent at a ritual Egyptian dance workshop are some of the instructive stories offered, complete with such odd characters as a saffron-turbaned Dadaji, the poet Les Murray, and a Catholic priest who stops taking the author's calls.

Book Description
In this fast moving life, we have no time for ourself as we are running after Maya with all our senses. We can’t imagine the things which are beyond our minds, and we die without knowing the ultimate and moves in a cycle of birth and death. We have become mechanical and dependent on products for which nature designs neither our body nor our mind and soul. The increasing number of crimes, intolerance, corruption, etc., cannot be solved from debates on TV/social media. We have to go deep inside ourselves to understand the life, which no schools, TV channels, politicians, bureaucrats, etc., can ever teach in this materialistic world full of never-ending desires of Maya.
