Description of the Book:
 
We are born. We develop a false identification of ourselves - our egos. We live in pain and sorrow and sooner or later, look back at the source or, ahead at the destination...

In our lifelong struggle, we do come across fundamental questions about our existence, our consciousness - what happens when we sleep? who is the experiencer of our dreams? How does a dream give a solution to a problem in waking life? Is death a long sleep or a dream?

'The Life of Vishwa' deals with the states of human consciousness and what lies beyond, based on the Upanishadic discussions on the three states of consciousness beautifully divided and integrated at the same time and also of the Fourth state which lies beyond these three, called 'Turiya', which is the state of the Almighty God.

'Vishwa' is the first state of human consciousness - when we are awake. This state is body-conscious.

Through the personification of this state of consciousness, the book delves into the journey of Vishwa and the causes leading to his merging with the other states to realize the truth of life. Through twenty one poems which read like a story of Vishwa's life, the book takes us through this journey.

'Vishwa' in Hindi also means the world. And therefore, 'The Life of Vishwa' is the life of each one of us.
