Tibetan book of the dead – Karma Lingpa

Consciousness is beyond sentient- limited duration stay on earth. While the wholeness of creation, decline or growth, and dissolution of consciousness is ineffable, this manuscript makes all the thinkable attempts to speak and remind us of our true nature, its phase and continuity.

Clear in answering several doubts that one may have about “what..after death?” It is verbalized in the form of prayer and explanation, has in it an element of mysticism which make it even more enchanting to read for those who have a leaning to it. 

It surely goes into the list of must reads (at least once) during a life time and in several lines I definitely had ahh ! moments.


A Return to Love - Marianne Williamson


The first idea presented in the book: A course in miracles is “Nothing real can be threatened, nothing unreal exists.”

‘A return to love’ is built around this idea. Marianne’s book is all about positivity and prayer. It helps us in understanding what are the blockages in thinking right, why we think in a certain way and how to receive atonement by bringing it to the holy-spirit.

 I so love her way of presentation..its like bang on, the authority in her voice and firmness in her belief. If we tend to follow the books of an author then there is a possibility of us coming across same idea but I must say it just impresses on our minds and if we truly follow the suggestions given here, we can emerge as better persons.

 From this book, we all can do one thing when caught up in a situation and that is, to pray to our higher self (holy spirit) to bring to us an understanding of the situation that would enable us to see things from various perspectives and clearly, submit our concerns and request for guidance. This simple yet powerful act takes away our load and lives us with immense...immense peace.

 I would conclude by saying,  ‘A return to love’  is an extraordinarily workable book..
