Review of Real Secrets Of Life
Real Secrets Of Life is a self-help book on self-discovery, spirituality, mind power, unity and health. The author, Krishna Jagarnath, is an Ayuverdic student, self-taught palmist, Om-healing leader and meditation teacher.
The author has revealed secrets on basic truths about life, Ayuverdic lifestyle, living a disease free life, relationships and parenting, to mention but a few. The author also shares his belief system and remedies to everyday life problems. His thoughts on Ayuverdic lifestyle interested me the most. It was surprising to learn that some of the vegetables that are thought to be healthy are actually not! The author shares with his readers the benefits of meditation, yoga, mantras and mudras. I appreciate that he added pictures to illustrate the positions mentioned in the book. He also writes about some of his life experiences and how he applied the secrets written in this book to improve his own life and stay positive regardless of the situation. According to the author, "If getting angry does not solve the problem, then why get angry?"
I love his message on respect. The author differentiates between tolerance and respect for other people's religion. Instead of being tolerant, he advises us to respect other people's beliefs and faiths. He also encourages us to love one another because we are all one despite different points of view.
I am impressed by the author's diverse range of knowledge on religion and his willingness to experience other faiths aside from his own. He encourages us to do the same, to not limit ourselves but be open to learn from others. The author did his research. This is evidenced by how he quotes scriptures from the Quran, the Bible, the Bhagavad Gita and other religious books. The author is a Hindu, yet he recounts a story of how at his wedding, he sang an Islamic song for his Muslim friends. Impressive, isn't it? I like the way the chapters are arranged and the author's choice of words. He uses simple terms to convey the message, and the message is well understood.
However, the book was poorly edited. There are a number of grammatical errors. Commas have been habitually missed while some have been placed incorrectly. In addition to this, a whole paragraph has been duplicated. The book will definitely benefit from further editing and proofreading. For this reason, I rate Real Secrets Of Life 2 out of 4 stars.
I agree with the author that this book could be beneficial to everyone if used correctly, but more especially, I recommend it to those that want to grow spiritually and those that are interested in alternative healing modalities other than modern medicine. However, if you do not believe in spiritual beings this book might not be for you.

I totally agree, pictures make it easier to follow, especially when there are a lot of new terms in a book. Thank you for your comment.markodim721 wrote: ↑03 Aug 2021, 13:07 I think it is good that the book also contains pictures, because it is easy for uninformed readers to confuse terms in a book on this topic. Thanks for the good review.
