The debate , as to whether a person will go to Heaven or Hell have never ceased to exist in our belief system of Religion.
If life is about the journey and not the destination, could it be
that this is heaven--this physical life we are living here on
earth ? What we experience in our daily lives often feels like
anything but heaven!
ANITA MOORJANI, the Author of this book, WHAT IF THIS IS HEAVEN puts her thoughts and can be read as a piece of basic philosophy.
“ At a deeper level, the book can serve as a guide or a path to living a life full of morals, respect, dedication, and goodness, irrespective of the religion or faith that you profess or believe in.
We need more books like this to help the younger generation understand, where we are lacking in leading a better and balanced life. Our elders may not have had the material comforts that we now consider for granted. But surely they led a more content life and were in close proximity with their spiritual strengths “ says Brian Griffith
This book highlights the common myths in 10 chapters that
most of us have accepted as truth. Each chapter has section

ReplyDeleteEveryone realizes the money is not everything only when they are pushed into a tight corner or blind alley feeling helpless and realize the true meaning of life. Whether it is Bhishma of Mahabharat or Steve Jobs of Apple the wisdom dawns only when they are in death bed ! Only saints and sages understand this truth at an early age and escape from the cycle of life and death. H S Narayanan
