Search for our meaningful identity

Beliefs have serious implications as they condition one's worldview, behavior and destiny. Beliefs about the self, God and their relation have had a drastic impact on history. One's faith is only as good as what one believes in. Who are we in truth? We did not consciously choose to be born, so what are we doing here on earth? What is a meaningful life? What is the highest achievement one can reach as a human being? We hold life dearer than anything but death is inevitable. What happens after? Why is there something instead of nothing? Who conceived the DNA alphabet? How much can one understand oneself through psychology? How to escape the chain of causality, or karma? What is the essential nature of the self? What is the connection between the "I" and the soul? How does spirituality bring one to understand one's identity? How to reconcile the existence of God and suffering and evil in the world? The ancient writings of Vedic India, provide authentic wisdom technologies to answer these fundamental questions. Presenting a God hungry for love, the author is stressing the need to go beyond a stereotyped approach of religion, and graduating to spirituality. He unravels in a clear and systematic way the essence of the science of the self and the timeless wisdom of the Vedic literature. All the while, he is presenting a cross- examination of the answers of other traditions like Judaism, Buddhism, Christianity and Islam, as well as modern science.
