Searching for Self – in Pursuit of Inner Peace

“This book is a commendable and worthwhile attempt by the author to prise open and investigate a fundamental component of humanity – the `self’ about which there is hardly any clarity at a deeper level. While one recognizes occasionally its tendencies and patterns in the way it manifests in all that we do and think, we surely have no deep understanding about the inner psychological world that our lives are governed by. Written in simple and lucid narrative, the author takes us through a seamless passage through the 4 P’s (Preparation, Practice, Passage and Portal), a journey that reflects his own learning as well as insight in understanding the `self’.

Hari’s exploration flows in a sequential manner presenting facts and triggering questions rather than providing explanations. The emphasis on facing reality with ease rather than denial or avoidance certainly helps one to be at ease with life and with oneself. To examine suffering as a collective calamity rather than an individual malaise, to understand the futility of clinging on to beliefs, the need for  questioning one’s own conditioning which is the root of fear and conflict are all incisive pointers that the author has kindled in the reader.

It is appreciable that the book is designed to appeal to a wide cross section of readers of varying interests, age and intellectual levels since it reflects the fundamental conflicts and illusions that humankind has inherited over generations! It is a meaningful read especially for the younger generation who are subjected to constant turbulences in their lives with the chaotic ways of the modern world.”

“There have been many writings about this subject and many spiritual gurus who talk about it. What makes this book special is the ease with which such a deep subject has been dealt with. There is a clarity in flow of ideas which will make anyone reading it not only understand the topic but connect with it as well.

 A very well thought and excellently executed piece of work. I'm truly glad to get the opportunity to read this wonderful work even before it was published and available to everyone.

Wishing Hari sir all the success and hope to see this book benefit a huge number of readers.”

“It’s easy to discuss problems. It’s even easier to list quick fixes. But Hari’s guide is about Practical Approach to solutions. Learning ‘approach’ help everyone to understand the customized problem and win through a customized solution.

A Book becomes a Guide when it deals with universal truth and remain solution oriented. Hari attempted a book and ended up with a classic guide!”

“I know Hari since three years and we interact and discuss  often on various subjects of mutual interest. Writing a book on topics like spirituality, religion etc. is quite challenging and taxing. However Hari has really done a great job in bringing out this book despite various challenges. I wish everybody reads this book and derive great benefit.”
