Review: Who
doesn't know Gaur Gopal Das? This book is written by one of the most respected
and loved monks of today’s time, who is also a disciple of Radhanath Swami.
This book provides a very interesting read just like his lectures that you
might have come across in YouTube. This is a self-help book of its own kind
which is written in a very simple and narrative tone.
Gaur Gopal Das has made sure to
inculcate precious philosophies of life through real-life examples. This is the
reason why he has created a main character Harry who invites him over the lunch
prepared and served lovingly by his wife Lalitha. They discuss several aspects of life, right from how those
couples met, fell in and out of love to the meaning of life. This is when the monk goes on
narrating several incidences from his life to emphasize on the fact that our
car-like-life must be balanced on four wheels as Personal life, Relationships,
Work-life and Social Contribution. If there's an imbalance in any of these
wheels, the car might get lost from its path while moving towards its
destination. He also has discussed the importance of gratitude, spiritual
practice, the act of forgiveness, speaking sensitively, self-discovery,
decoding spirituality at work, selfless sacrifice, etc through several stories
and anecdotes to make it relatable by the readers. Philosophies of life are
better understood when those are relatable. This is what Gaur Gopal Das has
exactly done.
My
Review:
I
feel so grateful to have picked up this book for reading as it’s my 5th
book of the year. The language of the book is such that I felt listening to his
lectures. This book acts as a gist of all the lectures given by the monk. I
would definitely recommend this book to those who are on the path to figure out
the purpose of their lives.
