With a spiritual bent of mind, he has ventured to write this book with the hope that the book guides at least a single person towards his path and lets people understand the meaning of life.
The first chapter gives a brief outline of the journey of the soul (Aatma), while the second chapter discusses the essence of karma in life. The third chapter discusses the evolution of life on Earth, starting with the creation of the Universe, the galaxies and the stars. The next three chapters (4-6) discuss the existence of life on the exoplanets with links to life on Earth. Our life in these realms after our departure from Earth is discussed with a link to our Karma. Chapter 7 discusses our Karma and yoga, while some personal examples of karmic effects are given in Chapter 8. Chapters 9-12 discuss Mantras and their practices, Yantra and Tantras with inter-relationships, including a good discussion on Vedas-Upanishads, Puja, Samadhi, and other terminologies that I am sure should be interesting to the readers. Finally, the book introduces in brief the life of some great enlightened spiritual masters who have guided the people at large from time and again.
