Straight From The Soul

PREFACE I was a happy go lucky person just out of a premium engineering college and was selected by a multi-national organization during my final year. Life was challenging and exciting. I was full of confidence and never ever thought about religion, God or soul. My world revolved around friends, books, music, sports, holidays, eating, shopping, money, work and of course my career. Suddenly my younger brother, only 18 years old, expired in a road accident and for the first time I came across untimely death, intolerable pain and extreme sorrow. All my knowledge and understanding was useless and I felt helpless and further living and working looked useless. All words and help from friends and relatives was of no use as I saw death as an inevitable and un-escapable event in my future life. My parents were totally shattered and things were very gloomy and depressing. Why our family ? Why my brother ? Why us ? Why me ? Is there a god controlling our lives? What is death ? What happens when one dies ? Is my brother still existing as a soul or has gone for forever ? These were the recurring questions I had and there were no answers. I could not comprehend what the priest explained during the last rituals of my brother and thus the quest to know the truth started. This quest with open mind led me to atheists, materialists, palmists, astrologers, tantriks, scholars, saints, gurus and study of astronomy, astrology, psychology & religious scriptures and simultaneous application of the instructions upon my own body-mind structure thereby gaining priceless insights. There were many mile stones in the journey and the truth shone finally. Let the truth be known to all is the only prayer and real work left for me now. This book is such an attempt in this direction. Thanks & warm regards Anil Kumar Pant
