Many Lives, Many Masters

Dr. Brian Weiss narrates a true story of his treatment of Catherine, a
patient suffering from unknown fear. Hypnotic exercises conducted by
Weiss takes her to her past lives and she describes around ten to
twelve of her past lives of the total eighty six of them she has lived
through. She connects to psychic forces and suggests Dr. Weiss of
facts which he felt were known to very few people. Every life
Catherine learns a new aspect to life and the current life as described
expects her to realize the importance of trust.

Overall a very interesting book to read to read. However, the truth of
such facts and the mention of masters the great souls who control the
universe connecting to the living beings is still looks unusual
though.

Ignited Minds - APJ Abdul Kalam (2002)

Dr. Kalam has reached the heart of the children to deliver the message
he knows best. How to build a better India? Various big tasks ahead
are told in simplistic manner while their impact on the people at
large can be far fetched. The humbleness with which he has described
the facts will touch people of all generations although the book is
primarily written for children.

A must read for people to realize what modern visionary of India can
think and deliver.

The Mind of the Strategist - Kenichi Ohmae (1982)

When it comes to business strategy this book will be always remembered as a compendium to successful strategy designing. Crisp clear and almost surgical approach to designing strategy. Although, the book theorizes a lot on key success factors and other such ideas, I guess the best it brings out is in the examples it presents. Ohmae's knowledge and depth in business is truely getting reflected in this book.

A must read for any manager who ever will remotely be reflecting on strategy.

Scientist's search for Truth - Swami Virajeshwara

Just unputdownable. In search for the eternal question Who am I, the Swamiji renounces all the materialistic pleasures and careers and commits himself to the profound belief of finding the truth. After a fairly long search he finds the eternal truth of I am Sunya. The ego-less state of existence, where God is everywhere and man is just nothing.

The book describes the presence various means of approaching the truth like Karma yoga, Bhakti yoga, Jnana yoga and Raja yoga. Swamiji has described his practical experience with Jnana and Raja yoga while also cited examples of others following the paths of Bhakti and Karma to achieve the truth.

The description of a Bhakti yogi in the epilogue is quite an interesting read.
