The Modern Day Hindu
“Here are your instructions. You must overlook everything you know. Modern Day Hindu needs you to blur the edges of white and the dark spheres of life. It is my journey, practicing a very rare Hindu way of living, and blending the same with Quantum Physics, The Cosmos, a whole lot of Hollywood Movie mentions, Rock Music and Passionate Resistance. This book provides resolutions to the Twenty-First Century dilemmas through certain laws, I decoded, while implementing the classical Indian knowledge. The book reveals the wandering consciousness of Hinduism. Awareness, that might complete your missing puzzle. It just might.

The Modern Day Hindu by Nikhil Chandwani is based on how to follow Hinduism in this modern age. This is my first read from this author. The cover page is awe-inspiring. I like the title as well.
The story is about the author's experiences. He explains Hinduism with the help of seven spheres, the music he listens, and movies he watched. I like the way he comes up with an uncertain notion of life, light, relationship, money, Artificial Intelligence, etc. in a divergent manner.
I read a few books on religion and spirituality. They were purely based on mythology or ancient teachings. But The Modern Day Hindu seems unusual to me. Nikhil Chandwani wrote it in an insightful way; maintain a witty aspect as well. I love the abbreviations used by the author. For example, LIFE means Loving Input from Everywhere. LUST stands for Loving Ur Special Talents, and many others.
I read this book slowly and steadily to contemplate its messages. What I don't like about this book is that the author uses so many movies and music references. Not every reader knows about all of them, so it definitely messes with the head and breaks the flow of reading. There are a few spelling mistakes. The language is easily understandable. It's a short read but gives a new perspective. The book is definitely for a particular set of readers. I would recommend this book only if you want to know about the universal theories and society in an unorthodox way.

A good , fast paced read with beautiful tips
The modern day hindu
"remember, matter matters, but it is based on Energy, not the other way around!"
"whatever Deity we believe in, whether we believe in our Free Will, we surely believe in His or Her Divine Will"
The cover of the book is eye catching and impressive. O loved the way cover is designed. More than cover i loved the content of the book.
The book basically talk about Hinduism. How to be in touch with it in modern world. I loved the way content is created and crafted in such manner that you don't get bored while reading it. I read a lot on Hinduism, religion, spiritually, but above all this book will have specific place in my heart.
Mainly book focus on author's prespetive of life. There are so many good diagram like Problemg flow chart, light chart, The beautiful explanation of data concept all are self-explanatory. The way he explained concept of life, mainfest, data.
The favorite part of book is the way explained "believe" do read this section.
The language of the book is lucid and can keep you hooked up while the diagram are icing on the cake.
The only thing I dont like about the book is too many references of movie. Specifically all are Hollywood movies. If yoi haven't watched those you may fail to understand the essence behind author's thought.
I'll recommend to all who know science well, the concept of energy, cosmos, basically a little bit knowledge of theories.

Nikhil Chandwani is a wonderful writer who has written The Modern Day Hindu in a way that keeps the reader connected throughout the book in an astonishing way. I would like to thank him for sending me an e-copy of the book.
As the name of the book suggest, it has nothing in favour or in against a religion. The book deals with how the author feels about life not on the surface but beneath the happenings and joins the dots. I would say it’s a simple narration of a regular life with a deeper meaning with a lighter language.
The reader must sit with an empty mind and allow them to view everything through the words of the author. He takes the reader in a virtual tour around the various aspects of life and connecting them with the laws laid down by Hinduism. In short the book can be termed to be dealing with the 21st century life with the laws laid centuries ago.
I loved the flow of the book, smooth and building steadily. It shows a modernized side of Hinduism, which for my knowledge wasn’t explored yet. I would surely recommend this book to my friends and also for such readers who would want to try a new genre of book. I’m a person who basically loves reading cliche romantic novels and this is the first time I ever tried something new and I’m quite impressed. As the book ended, I believe that I would be able to look my life with a different perspective. This book would act as a guide to a person who is confused about the laws laid down and the life he/she is leading.
This book is surely a treat! I would give it a 4/5. Would surly recommend everyone to give it a try

“Wevolution is when the knot is untied, and the balloon goes where it wants to go!”
Faith is the only thing that can bind people in the bond that cannot be broken by any Lord itself. I read a lot of books and judge them definitely not by its cover. Every book tells a tale that is known to the people that are reading it.
I was fortunate enough to come across Nikhil Chandwani, a good friend of mine, and a wonderful writer who has been establishing his name since ages. The writer will always know what his reader wants; he bends his stories in a way that it would be loved by all his readers.
A book lover and blogger, I had got the chance to read his book before it was getting down in the market. He has always astonished me with his writings, I am nothing but obliged with the fact that I read the book beforehand.
The book is named ‘The Modern Day Hindu’, well the writer draws this name from his own life and experience of living every day like a Hindu. I don’t want people to get confused with the name that it is any other religious book that will hover over there brain. This book doesn’t have religion, or any conflict relating to it. The book revolves around a self-story of the narrator, who is a Hindu and how he sees life differently. It is the work of non-fiction, picking up real-life events from his life and finding a deeper meaning to it.
When we begin to read the book, we need to erase everything we have known about the cosmic effect or any other intellect for that matter. We need to sit with an open mind and get through the pages slowly and with full concentration. The book revolves around the laws of cosmos or any other religion or our day today laws that we walk and make while just chatting. In the book, the laws are broken down in the words of the writer and made it in layman language to be understood by the people.
I love the way the concept flourishes slowly taking a stroll in a different aspect of our lives and how the writer revolves around the laws of Hinduism. The book simplifies the law that we see in our day to day life and how we should embrace it in our life. Not everyone has the guts to go about the laws that are followed by millions of people around the globe.
The book embraces your inner beast and asks you to overcome your flaws after gradually removing it from your life. The book tells us to understand the wider scope of life through the Hindu way of living. I like the use to different words and dark light polarity reference and pictures that depict the way of reading.
After reading the book, I would recommend the book to everyone to loves to read about depth of life, anyone who is confused with life and for everyone who just loves to read books.
I am very much assured that this book won’t disappoint you at any given point and you will sit awestruck and wanting for more once the book is over.

Attractive cover which has a very different look.
Must be read slowly to understand the depths of the concepts.
Narration has to bettered to a great extent along with the editing as the proof reading is poor.
Simple writing has been used to make it relatable especially to youth.
Motivating examples with movie dialogues are used.

Book Review by #LITEROMA PUBLISHING SERVICES :: "The Modern Day Hindu" by Nikhil Chandwani
** Thanks to author for gifting us a Kindle copy of the book for review.**
** Thanks to our reviewer for reviewing the book on behalf of Literoma. **
The tradition of re-telling Hindu classics is almost as old as the epic itself. Author Nikhil Chandwani not only attempted it but did a fablous job while spicing it up with contemporary concepts, social media addtictions, Hollywood scifis, hi-tech science, the solar system, world literatue and what not! The best part of the book is its concept of drawing analogies between age-old Hinduism and these nonreligious hifi stuffs, added with colourful schematics and scientific formulae at times.
The cover page is aptly designed, however the book scores less in editing. The reading experience of such a wonderful book could have been way better if professional copyediting and formatting could have been taken care of. However, the book exposed me to a fantastic dimension of modern literary arts and I wish to congratulate the writer for experimenting with such an innovative approach.
The publisher and the author may ponder how to create a mass appeal for this kind of a communication product as it will not be very easy for them to market the book to a greater audience as it touches so many niche areas of life, science, Hinduism and creative arts.
Overall, Literoma rates it to be 4*/5*. Looking forward to read more books from the author in future.

Like many of the young gen, being aboard the train that says 'religion is nothing but constricting, non-sensical cuffs that impinge on your freedom of being yourself', I was skeptical picking up this book but the cover is just so pretty I couldn't resist. Another beauty to be displayed in my collection. First impression from title and the summary : some saint giving their mythological references and dictating what is paap and punya and all that mish mash, still I went on.
Not gonna lie, this book was definitely NOT what I was expecting. Though just saying people who don't enjoy reading philosophical-esque texts or deep thought inducing works, proceed with caution. The author did a wonderful job, taking something that has been a pain in the butt of many youngsters and making it seem so sensible? Lowkey relatable and understandable? woah
The witty language, the references (loads of them tbh lol kind of hindered in me fully understanding the point because I didn't understand the reference), I absolutely loved the abbreviations, smart smart.
The wording is simple and not overly flowered, the language hmmm not so much if you don't understand all the cosmos and spheres and stuff. Like its got thought-inducing philosophical vibes to the point.
Using modern interests like movies, music and using them as tools to put your point through, great idea. Made it tons easier to relate rather than those fantastical, hard to believe mythological teachings.
Definitely worth a read; and take time to understand, then only you'll be able to fully gauge and appreciate the work.

I am not much into religious reads as they end up promoting one particular religion. However, this book is an exception. The book has nothing against or in favour of any particular religion. This book gives a modern day explaination of Hinduism, based on science and logic.
The book talks about the relevance of laws of Hinduism to modern times. The references of older concepts with a modern touch, gives a different perspective to the whole idea of religion.
The simple language n smooth flowing narration makes it more comprehensible.
The cover of the book is catchy and it gives a hint thar book is about the spiritual side of hinduism.
The diagrams, the references from movies and older epics make the read more lively
The book has some editing issues but over all it was a slow but interesting read.
Thanks to the author for providing a review copy in exchange of an honest review.

I was very skeptical about reading this book because I don't like Religious Literature where one tries to propagate a single religion. But this book wasn't like that at all. Here's a well researched book about the author's encounter with religious experiences explained with the help of science and reasoning. It was so nice to read a book that doesn't blindly follows a religion around. The book is written so simply and every concept has been broken down so that it is easy to understand. Another thing I really liked were the references the author quotes in the book, they get a little too much in the end but I really found them interesting.
This book teaches you how to live your life in the modern times as a Hindu and how to confront your own evils and get rid of them. The book also takes you through the different laws of Hinduism and how relevant they are in today's world. It isn't very heavy because it doesn't bombard or overwhelm you with religious information. Recommended!

The cover of the book is very intriguing. It tells us a lot about the current generation. This is a different read from our normal reads like this can be categorised as work of fiction and sub categorised as religious fiction according to me but it is a non fiction read. Hope you can understand this mix up explanation by me.
It helps us to understand the way of living in the modern day with our beliefs. I liked the overall concept and narration with the help of diagrams to make it more convenient for a reader to understand it better. The writing and editing could have been a bit more better. I was losing my interest at few places here and there but the correlation of movies and some epic liners was what made me continue my journey reading this book. I would like to read other books by this writer in future.

The title of the book caught my instant attention. Though I am not too fond of reading religion-centric books, I could instantly connect with the book and got curious to read the story. Though I liked the concept of this book, it was an average read overall. I give it 3 stars out of 5 and here is my review of it.
The book gives a striking comparison between how Hinduism used to be in ancient times and how it is in modern times. There were times when the people used to meditate to lead peaceful lives. However, things are not the same these days and the people find it difficult to take out time for a break in their busy lives. This is a knowledgeable book and gives you ways in which you can still follow today’s world. There is too much to learn from this book, only if you want to learn.
Firstly, I would like to say that the author did a great job of picking up this unique subject. Many people do not like to attempt something in such genres because of fear of making mistakes or hurting the sentiments of people. Hats off to the courage of the author. The title is catchy and I liked it instantly. I did not like the cover too much. It seemed more like a yoga and meditation book to me from the cover. The narration is plain and simple which was the reason I could not get too much involved in the book. Though I am a Hindu, I could not connect myself to some places.
Pick this book up with a neutral mind. If you are orthodox, you might find it difficult to complete this book.

The Cover page is just perfect. It's designed beautifully.
The Title "The Modern Day Hindu" is quite apt as well. .This novel is based on how Hinduism is followed and how it can be followed in today's world.
The story is basically about How the author perceives hinduism in modern world. He has explained Modern Hinduism using seven spheres, including music and movies.
I liked how the author has made the experience enjoyble using a lot of references. It can be concurred that the author has researched a lot about the religion. He has given full forms for many things as well, like Love and Lust, etc.
The language used is simple and understandable. I feel this is a must read for people looking for a new perspective about the Hindu religion. The narration is smooth and witty.
Looking forward to read more from the author in future.

The book is about hindu religion but writen in a modern way. And before talking about anything else, the very first thing i must say; the cover is awesome... I just loved it. It got suit so perfectly with the main essence and the title of the book. It tells you everything about the modern generation - starting from the social medias to anything that would come in your mind.
The author did a marvelous job in writing and explaining the modern way of living in such a manner. He explains Hinduism with the help of seven spheres, the music he listens, and movies he watched. I like the way he comes up with an uncertain notion of life, light, relationship, money, Artificial Intelligence.
The story has a good pace and the language used is quite simple and lucid. I would recommend this book to all my dear readers out there.
Rating - 4 🌟
Have a read guys!! You'll get a new taste.

'The modern day Hindu' is unarguably a good read. This book is not about the pure facts but the mindset of the author with which he gives the readers the importance of being a Hindu or just being a Hindu.
Also, the author has mentioned so many movies in the book, seems like he's a big movie buff, which is a good way to talk about the subject the author offers.
I feel like I love to read it out again and to know the hidden meaning of certain things that the author wanted to say.
The modern day Hindu is all about the today's generation and how we take ourselves, behave in so many things, on social media and the list goes on.
It can be said that it's the indirect satire on today's reality but in an engaging manner.
I love to have the paperback of it now.

Author is trying to depict fresh perspectives one can adapt to and has used many scientific techniques to add on. This doesn't have much to do with Hinduism we think of and ideologies of religion but is specifically focused on overall development and societal too.
It has many diagrams too making it interactive for reader. It dwells into the present day thinking and problems with modern solutions. It's basically a selfhelp written from author's experience. It might take a re-read to understand the essence of the book.
It's more of following a modern Hinduism.

The Modern Day Hindu is about the author's experiences/realisation of life/existence and cosmos link. It is not a book on Hinduism as religion but concept of Hinduism explained with science relation/involved.
He explains existence with the help of seven spheres and six triangles. He speaks about so many things like cycle of life, God, people, growth, free will, culture , intelligence, system, beliefs and how they are determined, related, science behind each of them.
What I disliked is authors references of so many movies and music, some extra explanation which he later tells to ignore.
This book is nicely written in simple language and inspires to live life in unity with universe.
Nikhil Chandwani is a wonderful writer, thank himfor writing such a wonderful book and look forward to read more books from him.
I would recommend the book to everyone who are searching /wanting new perspective of existence

The cover has so much to say about chaos or today's culture that we are going through. In this book the author has mainly focused on the concept of seven spheres and every element can be brought down to it. There are many such concepts defined by the author in the same manner. The book speaks about everything to what might be running inside your head. The book has been made really friendly as a conversation. Personal examples and ideas have been shared too. Random talk about concepts and ideas have been given. The author is a movie buff and many movie recommendations as per the story flows has been given too. It has been written in a simple language. Simple solutions to problems have been given. You are the sevensphere. You can heal everything. The book has been made worry( e.g - full form of God and life made me laugh). The physics of our mind has also been given.

This is the first book I'm reading by this author. Modern Day Himdu, talks about resolutions to the Twenty first century dilemmas through certain laws. By seeing the cover honestly I thought it will be a just another spiritual book, but it's not like that, I must say the author researched a lot for writing this book.
But at some point this book seems slow, the writing style could have been more engaging.
The cover is beautiful and the language is simple.

The Modern Day Hindu by Nikhil Chandwani is a nonfiction novel. I must say that title is sole the reason to pick this novel to read. The title is an apt one, leads a pathway to readers about what the content would be.
The novel is all about how we can follow the Hinduism in modern day as the cover page gives you little insight into how we are getting diverted and how we can follow inbetween all the Chaos. I thought it would be some mythological but the author made to look so simple by comparing present and past of Hinduism being followed over time.
The movies and music were used as right examples to narrate the story along with a few intriguing ideas but some of it was so difficult to understand as it were so new. The language was so simple without any grammatical flaws makes the read little easier.
Overall, The Modern Day Hindu is a good experimental novel. It has some really good contents but I would suggest you pick only if you want to read over this subject. I also felt that some of the areas where I couldn't get connected nor even understand it would be better than if the author has elaborated a bit.

I found the book to be deep and bold. Despite of being written in a simple language, it certainly makes you think. It may be a reason for certain readers to dislike the book. The cover of the book portrays a human sitting in Padmasana surrounded by the social medias. I liked the cover because it's the truth about the people of today. The title of the book may lead you to think about it being a religion oriented book but mainly it tell us about how the author thinks Hinduism is now and how it used to be before. The author has tried to correlate hinduism and quantum physics and cosmos. There has also been use of lots of movie references which made me dislike the book a little because not getting the reference makes you miss out the point. I also found the information a bit in excess but the perspective the author has is completely fresh and makes you enjoy the book a lot. I would love to read more from the author.

It is my journey, practicing a very rare Hindu way of living, and blending the same with Quantum Physics, The Cosmos, a whole lot of Hollywood Movie mentions, Rock Music and Passionate Resistance.

THE MODERN DAY HINDU,
Surviving Twenty -first Century through Hindu way of living,
by Dr. Nikhil Chandwani, Publisher: WRC Publishers, part of Raindrops Publishers, Year of publication 2018, No. of Pages 141, Price : Rs. 299/=, $ 10, ISBN: 978-93-88259-22-4,
This book is an abstract work of fiction and imagination. According to the author, he has not taken any thing from what is existing. He has written based on his experience in imagining and organizing the things for this topic. It has references to Hollywood movies, music and social media. It explains Hinduism with the help of Science. Many of the Indians are under the influence of the western world, but it makes efforts to keep the Indian culture alive. In all, there are 14 Chapters in the book. Almost all Chapters contain one or more colourful figures, except Chapters 1, 3, and 11. Total number of figures in the book is 35. Chapter 2 also contains two tables, one flow chart and one sketch. Being based in USA, the author has generally used American terminology and spellings. About the author has been provided in detail & is impressive enough. The author has also given Acknowledgement in the beginning of the book, for the help, assistance and cooperation given, mostly by his parents & family members, in writing this book.
The author indicates inclinations towards creativity and positivity with the pictures of "connecting the dots". New things bring new experiences. We get ideas from nothing and then proceed from imagination to physical realization. He discusses about two laws of Creation, solitude, loneliness, free will and Cosmos. The author depicts seven spheres to define concepts and evolving of the models of items of use. A problem solving flow chart is depicted as a typical way of dealing with the world. Author discusses about cycle of life, changes, evolution and revolution and observation of data and finding meaning in it. There can be several options in life, including reactions from the environment and things may be bad. Author talks about Common Consensus Reality and Personally Experienced Reality. Some of us inflate our balloon of reality. Our education is continuous and we learn from each other. Everything is a system, which consists of sub-systems. Interfaces allow for exchanges between inside of the system and the environment. Roles exist in many areas and are like opposite ends of an interface. He continues to discuss about positive thinking, positive vibrations, our connections in a matrix, thinking and feeling, love and lust, giving and accepting and aspects of freedom. A system has boundary on the inside as well as on the outside, which work together to interface the system. Further discussion takes place about desire, destiny and fate etc. Life is a set of never ending set of semicircles and bubbles connected, not fully spherical and that interfaces affect our behaviour. With computer generated animations, it is difficult to differentiate between tricks and the real movie, leading to fear in our mind. Neutrality is close to observation. We should think that all things happen for the good. He discusses about our having set of preferences and dislikes and clash of preferences. A question is also posed as to whether everything is fixed and whether we are driven by fate. He talks of hotness, temperature and absolute zero etc. Science appears to have become complex. We need adapting in life and we could be happy even without having anything. He discusses about the keyboard as an interface, recycling for better work, miniaturization, intelligence and consciousness. Concluding, he states that triangle or trinity embodies stability. In the same vein, he mentions about bubbles, spirals and gravity.
The design of the Cover of the book is colourful and appealing. About the book has been given on the back cover of the book. He has used several abbreviations and coined new explanations for some words. This book is insightful and gives inspiration to live the life. It has narration in simple language which is easy to understand. Though one may be curious to know, about the contents of the book, but for an orthodox Hindu, it is a difficult effort. It differentiates between the modern days and the olden days. People in the modern world are very busy and are unable to find time for such things. Choosing this topic for writing this book is courageous. The book can be considered to be of interest to those who have neutral considerations, like imaginations, new perspectives on existence and out of the box discussions.

Book Title: The Modern Day Hindu
Author: Nikhil Chandwani
It's a story based on his experiences and how to follow Hinduism in these days. I really got overwhelmed with the elucidation of his theories and fundamentals. I lost interest after flipping a few pages but his innovative angle made me intact. He sees everything in a new angle and even projected a few abbreviations for example:
LIFE is just Loving Input From Everywhere
GODS: Genetic Oscillations Defining Self!
DATA: Determinations Amplified To Awareness!
For the first time ever I felt it's a subject book rather than a storybook as the author used newtons laws, gravity laws, entire physics terminology like a particle, elements, magnetics, even biological term like DNA.
He sees everything in a different perspective.
See this illustration for an example:
And then, walking to the office from the train, I finally got it: music is just another language, like any sequence of something. If we fold a DNA string flat, so it no longer winds, then the four coded molecules might well be taken as notes, or the letters of a four-letter language for those who are sexually frustrated, because they can’t get to exchange DNA ;-). To say it in dear Lara’s voice in Tomb Raider 2: “Determinations Amplified To Awareness!"
And now after reading this, I finally got it: If we fold this BOOK like a gun/ AK-232 so it no longer winds, then the PAGES IN IT might well be taken as bullets, or DATA for those who are curious to read something new and interested to know about Hinduism, and if it is aimed to ur head in a point-blank range then its bullets/DATA will stir ur mind and lead to strong determination. Pls, don't ask me what sort of determination? For that, you need to read it. To say it in dear Nikhil Chandwani words in The Modern Day Hindu: Determinations Amplified To Awareness!
I strongly recommend this book only for those
who liked to know some theories, fundamentals, and techniques about Hinduism, culture, and things and it is not for those who are looking the entertaining stories.

Book Name - The Modern Day Hindu
Writer - Nikhil Chandwani
Edition - Kindle
Blurb -: Here are your instructions. You must overlook everything you know. Modern Day Hindu needs you to blur the edges of white and the dark spheres of life. It is my journey, practicing a very rare Hindu way of living, and blending the same with Quantum Physics, The Cosmos, a whole lot of Hollywood Movie mentions, Rock Music and Passionate Resistance. This book provides resolutions to the Twenty-First Century dilemmas through certain laws, I decoded, while implementing classical Indian knowledge. The book reveals the wandering consciousness of Hinduism. Awareness, that might complete your missing puzzle.
Summary -: The Modern Day Hindu illustrate the difference between the ancient time & modern time, as how much we've changed in these years ? The book tells the situation of current life lived by people, as we are so busy & bounded by laws that we forget how to life our life. The Author tried to solve these things by the laws of Seven Sphere like music, movies, etc. And also discussed topics life love, life, relationship, money, etc.
Things I liked -:
1. The author tried to solve our daily life problem by the topic of Hinduism followed by our daily life mediums like music & movies.
2. Language & narration used in the book is quite easy and simple. Anyone can easily understand it. It's free of complex words
3. The book is not a typical spritual book as the book discuss the modern day issues that made this book completely different then other books.
Things I didn't like -:
1. The author gave excess amount of examples throughout the book. People will find it uneasy to read if they've never heard or watched those things which the author is taking about in the story.
Verdict -: Modern Day Hindu is perfectly made for today's generation we can find so many new and useful things by reading this book. & Also it's a different kind of book so if you're boared of reading the same type of books you can definitely try this one . I'm sure you won't regret it.

It is my journey, practicing a very rare Hindu way of living, and blending the same with Quantum Physics, The Cosmos, a whole lot of Hollywood Movie mentions, Rock Music and Passionate Resistance. This book provides resolutions to the Twenty-First Century dilemmas through certain laws, I decoded, while implementing the classical Indian knowledge. The book reveals the wandering consciousness of Hinduism. Awareness, that might complete your missing puzzle. It just might."
My review :-
The first thing comes to your mind when you hear the title of the book The Modern day Hindu would be that it might be a religious novel depicting all the advantages and positives of Hinduism and probably even criticizing other religions. But you would be at loss if that is your notion too because this book is entirely different and has lot of information for you to improve your life which you might not even realised by now that they are inside you.
The book has a perfect cover page depicting the busy life of a modern day person and the title is appropriate and also contains more or less the gist of the entire book. The writing of the author is good and the way the story has been told in the form of conversation makes it a better work then most of the other similar books. The book obviously doesn't corner itself into religious category and more or less a self help book which ultimately aims at bettering your life. Highlight of the book is the use of various diagrams to make it easy for the readers.
A few drawbacks of the book are that the writing could still have been better. Also the book needs a bit of editing and with that it could be even better.

Review:
The book is a deep read. It is not difficult to understand but you got to pay attention to the words to know what the writer’s message is. Whether a person is a Hindu or not the story is pretty much the same as depicted in the cover, surrounded by or in a way trapped in between gadgets and the modernized world. Amidst all this, the writer through various ways that the modernized person best understands, through movies, songs and such instances explain how to live life of Santana Dharma, Hinduism. The book is a guide about how to survive in this chaos. The language is simple yet deep. To sum it up it is a nice book with a great perspective.

I liked the cover and found it quite creative. A person mediating with all the possible distractions in present era all around him on the cover along with the title made a perfect match. It’s a perfect match for current generation and is also a good percentage of our elders these days too.
The author has tried to throw a detailed insight on twenty-first century mass and how different areas affect their lifestyle with the help of seven spheres. The language used is simple and to the point.
The author also supported each and every point conveyed with an example. The examples range from day to day life, science, mathematics, philosophy etc.
Somewhere between the book, I sadly could not follow through and lost the connect. After that, I was just reading and not able to catch up. The reason might be because of too much knowledge. Honestly, I did not find anything bad about the book, I was just not able to grasp after a point. I think it needed more intense editing on the examples given and the connect between each other – there are a lot of random examples which I feel would have worked better for articles.
For me, it did not work very well. At the same time, I would like to mention that it’s me who might not have like it. It is a decent read for the people who enjoy reading physiological non-fiction books and of course movie buffs are going to relate the most out of it.
