This book is an attempt to show how technology guided by spirituality can lead to happiness, and in the process, it may lead to the understanding of the Universal Consciousness or the Mind of God.
The book is divided into three sections. The first section deals with how to make the mind powerful to gain inner peace. A happy and contented mind then sees the world in a different light.
The second section dwells on how to improve the environment through technology, so it becomes livable and sustainable.
And the last section is about exploring space - the last frontier which can help in joining the individual with universal consciousness and understanding the mind of God.
The book has been inspired by Patanjali's Yoga sutras where it is shown that a Yogi after attaining supernatural powers can accelerate his path to liberation and everlasting happiness.
Anil K. Rajvanshi is a spiritual engineer! A mechanical engineering graduate of IIT Kanpur in early 1970s he went to U.S. for higher studies. In a fit of madness and arrogance, he left a very lucrative career in U.S. and came back in 1981 to rural India thinking that he will change India! India did not change but he changed. In the process of developing renewable energy technologies for rural areas he discovered himself and the great spiritual traditions of India.
He runs a small rural NGO called Nimbkar Agricultural Research Institute in Phaltan, Maharashtra and does R&D in renewable energy, rural and sustainable development. For his work on renewable energy and sustainable development he has won many prestigious national and international award. In 2022 he was given one of India's highest civilian award-Padma Shri.
He also has a passion for writing articles on the interplay of spirituality and technology and has published more than 200 articles in various newspapers and news lines.
He is passionate about teaching youngsters and gives inspirational lectures all over India and abroad.
The first section of the book contains four parts, all focusing on how to instil inner peace within our minds.
The first part defines and talks about the basic theme of the book - happiness and deals with the issues, such as what is happiness and how to achieve it.
Happiness is a state of the mind and thus a powerful mind can create happiness. The second part therefore contains essays showing how one could potentially create a powerful mind through meditation-specifically, what is meditation, how to practise it and what are its attributes.
Development of a powerful mind is also facilitated through the resolution of its conflicts. The conflicts are caused by the psychological knots produced by emotions. The third part of this section contains essays about the nature of emotions, their origin and their resolution.
And the final part of this section deals with the attributes of a healthy body. A healthy body supports a powerful mind. Thus, the essays here talk about how to achieve a healthy body through exercise, good sleep and alternative medicines.
The last article in this section is about my spiritual experiences, which have guided me on the path of spirituality and provided the inspiration to write this book.
