I am glad to share in the past two days I have been blessed despite health concerns to be able with the exemplary assistance from my Editor and Digital Consultant to upload to KDP/Amazon my third eBook. I am sharing the links to all three of my books. The first two books were published in January and April 2023 Gods sustained me in December 2022 through spring of 2023 as I found my way back from unexpected serious health challenges
This is a list of links that describes my efforts to spread the word so to speak as best as I can about the products of work in my clinical world, engagement of community domains and my persistent efforts to advance in my Spiritual journey especially over past 40 plus years on the KDP digital platform. All three are eBooks, “Sadhana Path” the companion book, “The Wonder of it All, Amen” and Key Concepts of Sivananda Lahari of Srimad Adi Sankaracharya. The first two eBooks were published in first quarter of 2023, and the third book was presented on line just two days ago.in July 2024.

https://www.amazon.com/mybook_KeyConcepts, Sivananda Lahiri composed by my Lord Srimad Adi Sankaracharya Bhagavadpada Swami.
These books are the culmination of nearly a life time of prayer and meditation but especially the past 45 plus years when I was blessed with the once in a lifetime opportunity to organize people and resources to build and grown a Sree Satyanarayana Swami Temple community. At about age 10 when I began to read about my Lord Adi Shankara Acharya Bhagvata of Kaladi, Kerala in Bhavan’s journal I was somehow attracted to the Advaita conceptualization of the relationship between the Creator, the Jiva [ the indwelling, imperishable Soul] and all Created entities.
This Key precept in Sanskrit enunciated by Srimad Adi Sankara Bhagavata : “Brahman Satyam, Jagat Mithyam, Jivo Brahmaiva Na Parah!” is the foundational precept that infuses my work in all domains of my life. And this blessed concept that is factual in my experience- “Daaridrya Narayana” has been extremely helpful to all those I have engaged in my life- I believe every encounter in life offer an opportunity to experience darshan at any time of the day or night. Vidwan Ajoy Bhattacharya sings this potential for a redeeming encounter in beautiful song Moho Kahan Doondo re Bhai.

This if from the opening chapter of “Sadhana Path”–“ The touchstones on the Path from Despondency to Enlightenment. The Pupil Arjuna went from Vishad at the end of First Discourse to the realization of Moksha [Salvation form and end of cycle of births and deaths] at the end of the Eighteenth Discourse in the text of the Bhagavad Gita. This provides the structure for my own Sadhana Path as I worked during past 6 decades, towards personal enlightenment and contributing what I can to advancing the public good. The last chapter and appendix section describes and documents my contributions to the public good while I worked on my own spiritual development.
