The whole world runs away from death, because death snatches everything, but the one who accepts it and willingly faces it, receives something from death itself. Ironically, knowledge of death gives you the gift of life. Katopanishad tells the story of young Nachiketa who goes to face the lord of death and the extraordinary dialogue that ensues between them. Upanishad means sitting close to the Master. Gurudev takes us through this beautiful story integrating its profoundness with real-life situations, turning abstract philosophy into existential reality.
A mild-mannered man is found murdered in his flat, with all the evidence pointing towards a tortured death. As Inspector Balraj Kawnar starts his investigation, the plot thickens, and he now has to unravel a Murder Plan!
Source of Life Become aware of this impermanent nature of life; that is wisdom. Being aware of this impermanent nature of ones life-the changing nature of happenings-you find that there is something in you that has not changed? There is a reference point, in comparison to which, you can say things are changing. Getting to that reference point is "being"? and that is the source of life; that is wisdom.

Sri Sri yet again answers them with his characteristic simplicity, playfulness and depth of wisdom. Just have an look of the cover design which hints the amazingly compiled content ready to charm all of us. A great gift for seekers, to treasure. While teaching courses, Sri Sri keeps two baskets on the stage next to him-one for people to write and drop their botheration and one for questions.Through the course, he reads out questions and answers them with profound wisdom, depth and also a generous sprinkling of humour. He jokingly describes the Art of Living logo, saying one swan eats away all your botherations and the other eats all your questions and then the sun of knowledge rises in you. The courses end with the question basket empty and hearts full

This knowledge is not complicated; it is simple and is complimentary to life in the world, to society. Normally people oppose it because they think doing anything for one’s inner growth means stopping the outer activities completely. It is often taught as renunciation - that you renounce the whole world, then you can do some practice for inner growth. But that is not so. We need to have a balance of both - in outer activity, the worldly life, and our inner growth.” - Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. “Living the Mystery of life” is a collection of short talks, and question and answer sessions giving profound insights into the challenges we face in daily life. Gurudev’s guidance is delivered with simplicity and humour – an unbeatable combination that touches the hearts and lives of people all over the world.

The victory that comes out of ego is worth nothing. Even if you win in ego, it is a loss. But even if you lose in love, it is a victory! Making people realise this innermost strength that we all have, is a challenge.
