Abstract

This book is a virtuous attempt to propound the understanding of Dharma in its true sense which lends support to put it into daily practice through which it is promoted in direct & subtle sense. Pervaded by scriptural maxims & parables, this book discriminates properly between the two means, Dharma & Adharma, to acquire your ends. All desires can be fulfilled either by Dharma or Adharma. Employing the former begets virtue & burns sins while the latter accumulates sins & destroys virtue. Considering the Vedic injunction that all sins bear fruit, this book elucidates the ways and means by which the reader can acquire waxing Dharma and forsake Adharma. Hailing from Mahuva, Gujarat, living in Mumbai since many years, NIKUL JOSHI is a real estate & hospitality professional having consulted organizations of repute. Brought up in a liberal yet disciplined home environment, he developed a taste for Hindu scriptures and a yearning to extract their esoteric meanings hidden beneath mysterious anecdotes & ambiguous injunctions. Being absorbed in the holy books propounding Sanatana Dharma, he has been reading them repeatedly along with their commentaries. His life illumined when, by the agency of fate, he was introduced to Swami Nischalananda Saraswati Maharaj, the current 145th Jagadguru Shankaracharya of Puri, Govardhan Math, who is now his revered preceptor. Learning the abstruse knowledge of Sanatana Dharma, he has compiled this book with the sole intention of disseminating the true imports of Hindu scriptures. He is resolved to bestir the spirit of Hindus to reclaim their lost glory by complying with the scriptures in daily practice.
