Explore Your Potential (A Journey through Eastern Mysticism)

The book helps the reader to get access to wisdom of several scriptures in one piece. Several sutras which are normally only passed on in the oral tradition are documented in the book.

Just like a magician never reveals his secrets, psychics also never reveal their secrets. There are several books written by psychics but they never reveal their methods. This book not only reveals the methods but also contains several simple exercises to enhance intuitive perception.

Manish Vohra, the author of 'Explore Your Potential" is a Chartered Accountant and MMS (Finance) and runs a successful NBFC in Mumbai. Manish Vohra's interest in human consciousness, healing techniques and secrets hidden in ancient scriptures began as an adult when his son was diagnosed as a slow learner. It is after this that he began searching and probing into the reality of the inner world. Studies of several ancient spiritual traditions over the next 16 years helped him to understand life and its true meaning .It was his meeting with respected sage Chandra Swami Udasin which served as a catalyst and helped him, intensify his japa and contemplation practices. Both Respected Sage Chandra Swamiji and Sage Prem Vivekanand (disciple of Sage Chandra Swamiji) have always been available to guide Manish on the path and also to inspire him to practice diligently.

For Shri Manish Vohraji, the author of this book, the words contained within these pages are expressions of his love for the divine, which to him is the loftiest of all the ideals to be attained. He writes beautifully in the book, "This universe spins on love and surrender to God". In pursuit of his holy quest, he also attempts to understand and explain the great cosmic principles including the law of karma, justice and compassion. To write on spirituality is often a tedious job, for it is all inclusive and therefore, must involve apparent paradoxes. Moreover, one writes in time with particular references which are timeless, non-specific and beyond words. Yet, the writer has written in broad terms and integrates love and logic nicely.

Pray, may the sweet grace of the Lord saturate him evermore.

'Explore your potential' is a journey into Hinduism and an offshoot tradition of Buddhism namely Zen. The book is an effort to piece together the beautiful and profound wisdom of several sages which is scattered in the Vedas, several Upanishads and also esoteric works like Ananda Lahiri. This book will help the reader to get access to the wisdom in several scriptures in one piece. Several important concepts of Hinduism have been elaborated on. Several concepts of Shakti (Mother) worshipers have also been explained at length.

Zen has been discussed in this book because of its belief in non-dualistic consciousness which is same as the philosophy of Shakti worshippers. The book deals at length with the karma theory and explains in layman terms several profound secrets of the universe. Even some sutras which are normally only passed on in the oral tradition are documented in this book. Intuition and how it works have been elaborated on at length in this book and the secrets of developing intuitive perception have been revealed. Also I have posed Swamiji with nine eternal questions which have been debated for centuries and on which Swamiji has given brief pointed replies. To end the book on a creative note, there are four poems written by me as Salutation to 'The Divine Mother', 'The Guru', 'God' and 'The Seeker," following which the fourty-one slokas of Ananda Lahiri (The wave of beauty and bliss) by Respected Sage Adi Shankaracharyaji have been elaborated on.
