Mahavir: Conqueror of the Self
by Arvind BhandariWhy do we suffer? What is the way out of suffering? What is the purpose of life? And what is the ultimate truth? Vardhamaan Mahavir, the last Jain Tirthankara, did not begin his life as a saint. A prince and a householder, he renounced the world as a youth, seeking to realize himself. Why would a man leave his kingdom and family to wander naked across impossible terrain for twelve long years, exposing himself to hard penance and the harshest circumstances? Was his journey worth the pain he suffered and perhaps inflicted on those closest to him? Such questions plague the mind of Priyadarshini, Mahavir’s young daughter, as she journeys with her mother, Queen Yashoda, to meet the man the world knows as the enlightened one, but in whom she sees only the father who abandoned her. Yet, as the girl grapples with her contempt for him, she is drawn into a deeper spiritual inquiry. In visions her mother shares with her, Priyadarshini traverses Mahavir’s past lives, and eventually arrives at a profound understanding of the true essence of the man who conquered the world by conquering himself. Drawing on rarely accessed Jain texts, Mahavir is an inspirational tale of the making of a spiritual master that raises age-old questions as relevant to the modern reader as they were in Mahavir’s time.
Mai Kaun Hu: मैं कौन हूँ?
by Dada Bhagwanकेवल जीवन जी लेना ही जीवन नहीं है। जीवन जीने का कोई ध्येय, कोई लक्ष्य भी तो होगा। जीवन में कोई ऊँचा लक्ष्य प्राप्त करने का ध्येय होना चाहिए। जीवन का असली लक्ष्य ‘मैं कौन हूँ’, इस सवाल का जवाब प्राप्त करना है। पिछले अनंत जन्मों का यह अनुत्तरित प्रश्न है। ज्ञानीपुरुष परम पूज्य दादाश्री ने मूल प्रश्न “मैं कौन हूँ?” का सहजता से हल बता दिया है। मैं कौन हूँ? मैं कौन नहीं हूँ? खुद कौन है? मेरा क्या है? मेरा क्या नहीं है? बंधन क्या है? मोक्ष क्या है? क्या इस जगत् में भगवान हैं? इस जगत् का ‘कर्ता’ कौन है? भगवान ‘कर्ता’ हैं या नहीं? भगवन का सच्चा स्वरूप क्या है? ‘कर्ता’ का सच्चा स्वरूप क्या है? जगत् कौन चलाता है? माया का स्वरूप क्या है? जो हम देखते और जानते हैं, वह भ्रांति है या सत्य है? क्या व्यावहारिक ज्ञान आपको मुक्त कर सकता है? इस संकलन में दादाश्री ने इन सभी प्रश्नों के सटीक उत्तर दिए हैं।

Main Samay Hoon: मैं समय हूँ
by Deep Trivedi‘मैं समय हूँ’ यह पुस्तक बेस्टसेलर्स ‘मैं मन हूँ’, ‘मैं कृष्ण हूँ’ और ‘101 सदाबहार कहानियां’ के लेखक तथा स्पीरिच्युअल सायको-डाइनैमिक्स के पायनियर दीप त्रिवेदी ने लिखी है। मनुष्यजीवन को गहराई से समझने और समझाने वाले दीप त्रिवेदी ने विश्व की अंतिम और निर्णायक सत्ता समय के रहस्यों का अपनी किताब ‘मैं समय हूँ’ में रहस्योद्घाटन किया है। इस किताब में दीप त्रिवेदी ने घड़ी की सूइयों से परे समय के कई स्वरूपों का खुलासा किया है। यही नहीं, उन्होंने न सिर्फ इन सभी स्वरूपों की विस्तार से चर्चा की है, बल्कि उनके प्रभावों को भी समझाया है। इस किताब की सबसे विशेष बात यह कि लेखक ने इसमें इतनी सरल भाषा का उपयोग किया है जिससे कि एक सामान्य मनुष्य भी समय जैसी महासत्ता की पूरी कार्यप्रणाली आसानी से समझ सके। इस किताब में यह स्पष्ट होता है कि एक समय ही है जिस कारण न सिर्फ मनुष्य बल्कि यह पूरा ब्रह्मांड भी चलायमान है तथा मनुष्य के जीवन में घटने वाली तमाम ऊंच-नीच भी समय के ही अधीन है। अतः चाहे मनुष्यजीवन सरल बनाना हो या फिर ब्रह्मांड के गहरे रहस्य समझने हों, समय के गहरे स्वरूपों को समझे बिना इनमें से कुछ भी शक्य नहीं है। इसीलिए इस बात पर विशेष ध्यान देते हुए लेखक ने मनुष्यों को उनका बिगड़ा समय संवारने के कई सरल उपाय भी दिये हैं। यह बात तय है कि जो भी समय की ताल-से-ताल मिला लेगा, एक सुखी और सफल जीवन गुजारना उसका भाग्य हो जाएगा।

Make Better Strategic Decisions: How to Develop Robust Decision-making to Avoid Organisational Disasters
by Jeremy N. WhiteEvery day we hear of serious errors of judgement that result in organisational disaster. Why do seemingly successful businesses, NGOs, or even political parties fall prey to irrevocable governance breakdowns or, worse still, criminal malpractice? By prompting readers to think deeply about strategic decision-making, human behaviour, and cognitive biases, this book offers a disciplined, objective, and thoughtful approach to making better decisions. Every strategic problem is fundamentally a journey into the unknown, which involves a unique combination of duration, scale, external and internal dynamics, and personal motivations. Rarely is a strategic decision solved by saying, ‘If a situation is A, then the solution is B.’ The book explores how to develop a strong foundation for problem resolving – rather than simplistic problem-solving – by strengthening competence so that decisions are made wisely. The case of Carillion plc, the second-largest construction group in the United Kingdom that went bankrupt in January 2018, is used to explore how a large and profitable company collapsed so dramatically when it was run by an experienced board and advised by three of the Big Four accounting firms. Professor Jeremy N. White presents a clear strategic toolkit for better strategic decision-making. This book will appeal to senior managers who are interested in techniques for making better strategic decisions. The lessons from the failure of Carillion plc are applicable to corporate leaders in addition to politicians and those who run not-for-profit organisations.
