Apparently, this has happened quite a few times after my sessions.
Many people seem to implicitly assume that if someone is
saying something about life today, it must
necessarily be coming from some
book from the past!
Books do not Create
Knowledge, do they now?
Books are just a consequence... of human Perceptivity.
It is clarity of perception that leads to knowledge.
Knowledge, on the other hand, tends to block your perceptivity.
It is only in a state of Question that your Attention is revved up.
It is only then that you really Look.

INQUIRY
Inquiry. Plain and straight. No abrupt magical words dropping from the heavens. No convolutions of the intellect. No conclusions asserted just because someone said something. Just simple inquiry, where you are true to yourself. And only then, you will see, that Devotion is also possible. Because, Math and Melody are not divergent. While inquiry starts with articulate questions, devotion starts in a state of inarticulate question (you see, it takes two question marks to make a heart!). Either is possible only when Thought is startled. And neither is possible when one is dead sure in beliefs.
The Uncertainty Principle
[Nerd Warning: Technical content on Quantum Physics!]
This is not a book, but an article that I happened to publish in a science journal. It delves into the celebrated quantum marvel discovered by Werner Heisenberg.
A simplified review of the four versions
Although it is easy on the readers as compared to typical science papers, it still is somewhat technical. So, please do not bother yourself with this unless you are into Physics. You can click on the image, or click here to read the abstract and snippets of the article on ScienceDirect.
I may, in the future, write a simpler version of this, and that may very well become a book. It will include more details as well, because I had a second part of this article in mind, but never worked on it after I saw that such jargonish writings will never reach more people.

This is actually a study material which I had authored for the M.Sc. course while at SVYASA Yoga University. Therefore, the book has much more scriptural jargon than I would personally prefer. Also, this was meant for students who have already been introduced to some of the basics of Yoga. So, it may not be the best choice for a general reader.
I do plan to revise and rewrite this in a simpler, non-academic format (well, I wish even academics were simpler like that!) and publish it as a proper book when possible.
Integrated Approach of Yoga Therapy
This is a work-in-progress. This too was originally written as a study material for SVYASA Yoga University. This was co-authored with Dr. Usha Kathyayani, and we now plan to revise and rewrite it in a non-academic form.
There is also a book project planned with Dr. Vinoy Singh on the same subject.
The impact of yogic practices in reversing Psycho-Somatic diseases (Hypertension, Diabetes, Arthritis, Gastritis, Asthma, and so on) has been miraculous. Of course, Yoga can offer much more than physical and mental health, but its health benefits are definitely worth highlighting.
