Rajesh’s new book Going Beyond my Gurus for Human Welfare achieves what the title claims. The author maintains clarity in thinking and devising solutions to many critical problems that plague our world today, from a totally unknown, unheard of and fresh perspective! And they seem practical to implement! One of his best chapters starts by exploring an intriguing question—could Hitler have been like Jesus, if he knew how to be one?

The book examines social problems, the crumbling institutions of our lives ‘marriage and family’, problems such as unemployment and abject poverty in India, the failures of our modern educational systems, raising questions about the long-standing border conflict in Kashmir and the Syrian war. It has a beautiful write up about the true place of women in our society and solutions to most environmental issues that threaten Mother Earth today.

Rajesh presents his innovative solutions and ideas, his prime motive being to promote Human Welfare and Human Wellbeing. Surely a matter for our society to introspect, and a must read for all, the book is filled with rich solutions to fundamental problems, presented in a way never done before. Indeed a provocative read but filled with practical solutions ready for implementation!
