OPEN EYED MEDITATIONS

MEDITATION essentially means perceiving deeper truths from within.

For those who thought that meditation is a closed eyed phenomenon, I beg to differ. ‘Open-eyed Meditation’ is a book that shows another perspective to meditation.

This book is a collection of thoughts about various aspects of life subjected through the lens of ancient wisdom of the Ramayana and Mahabharata. Each article in the book deals with a modern problem that each one of us encounters in life and is accompanied by profound insights to those situations through a story or a character from the ancient epics.

Why ancient epics? The reason being that there is something attractive about the Mahabharata and Ramayana that has kept them alive century after century! Beyond the storyline, something deeper is waiting to be discovered from these ancient texts. This book is an attempt to uncover the hidden layer of wealth that is cleverly packaged within the commonly known storylines.

Thus, ‘Open-eyed Meditations’ is a distillation of ancient wisdom for modern lives; a unique self-help book wherein each meditation takes you on a journey to the past, bringing a secret herb to heal a problem of the present.

Whether you are dealing with complex dynamics of relationships; or solving an impossible crisis in your life; or coming to terms with embarrassing failures; or struggling with important decisions or dealing with any kind of addiction, this book offers valuable nuggets of wisdom and action point resources to deal with it all.
