Comments by spiritual leaders in India:
“This is a very good book.” - Swami B.H.Mangal Maharaj,
Secretary, Chaitanya Gaudiya Ashrams, India

“In ‘The Meaning of Life’, Shri Vimal Sehgal has brought complex wisdom into simple, rational language. He has applied ancient secrets and insights to modern dilemmas. This is a book for everyone from the young seeker to the seasoned spiritual practitioner.
The author has shown divine love to be at the core of our existence, and he explains how to bring this pure, spiritual love into our everyday lives. I recommend this book for everyone who is looking for more meaning, more understanding and more love in their lives.”
- Swami Chidanand Saraswati
President, Parmarth Niketan and India Heritage Centre, Rishikesh

“This book eloquently addresses issues raised by most spiritual aspirants and novices who commence the study of Hinduism from the spiritual perspective. Whilst it focuses on complex issues such as reincarnation, karma, peace, meditation and the role of love and devotion in Hinduism, it does so in a ‘very reader friendly’ manner.”
- Swami Satyamitranand giri, ex-Shankaracharya
President Bharat Mata Mandir, Haridwar

“Our editor has found this work very interesting. The chapters are very well organized and are logically sequenced with a smooth reading flow.”
