The Divine View of Holy Gita
Autor Vijai Tiwarien Limba Engleză Paperback
This book not only examines the purpose of human life as revealed through the word of God but also explores how man can fulfill that divine purpose in common daily life.
The intent of this book is not to promote Hindu philosophy but rather to create a clearer understanding of its doctrine. Above all, the focus of this book is to bring the reader closer to God, by living daily life in love and light. It is neither religion nor its ritual and rites, nor its creeds and canons, but the understanding of the higher reality underneath the scriptural truth professed by the religion that is the main subject of this book.
The book emphasizes the truth that one serves God not simply by performing holy works but by doing so within a context of selflessness, not simply through demonstrating one's knowledge of scriptures but through one's humble acceptance of the truth expressed in these scriptures, and not by mere observance of the holy ways but through total surrender and submission to God.
The intent of the book is to promote love and light, and to encourage humility and meekness in all walks of life. Its purpose is to advance a way of surrender and submission to God, for only through a life of faith and truth in Him can man attainthe goal for which he is born - to find freedom from bondage and attain salvation for his soul.
These truths are revealed in the Holy Gita, but are also confirmed within other holy books and traditions - such as The Upanishads, Ramayana, and the Holy Bible - from which the author speaks.

Notă biografică
Though the author has never been a strong religious adherent, when life presented him with questions that a rote reliance on conventional dogma could not address in any meaningful sense, he undertook a search for those answers that could be found nowhere else but in the sanctuary of God.
The truth of this singular (and at the same time perennial) awakening has become the theme of Vijai's writings. His first book is an introduction to the sacred reality and truth that was revealed to him in the timeless tradition of enlightened vision. Contained in these chapters are direct spiritual insights that are not bound by mere historically based [mediated] theologies but instead spring from a direct [immediate] experience of one man's passionate and personal search for the divine.
The author believes that institutionalized religion actually offers very little for man in its currently misappropriated and misunderstand form, where it is, in fact, frequently a hindrance to the spiritual journey. While pedestrian religiosity can offer a specious consolation, of sorts, it is not the path the great sages and saints have traveled before us, and it seldom leads to our true spiritual destination - enlightenment and liberation.
Though in many religious traditions the human life given us by the Creator famously includes "freewill," ironically, the pathway to salvation through divine grace cannot be entered upon lest man first be willing to fully - indeed joyfully - surrender his life to God.
