Bhagavad Geeta vs Ashtavakra Geeta
My family comes from a Hindu background. We have a book on Bhagavad Geeta at home, it has been there for several years. Many people in my immediate and distant family read this book regularly. Some of them have even memorized the sloaks and can recite them very well. One day, I opened the book…

Disclaimers and Definitions
I will continually update this page as new definitions are needed to understand the “Spiritual Journey” section of my blogs.’ First a disclaimer, I don’t care much for facts in this section. What matters most is the message, not the accuracy of facts. I might say a Japanese Zen Master said XXX when in fact…

Epiphany
As I mentioned in my earlier post, I sensed that the Truth is not what meets the eye. I wanted to know the Truth about well, everything. The basic questions that always troubled me started to resurface. Questions like who am I? Why am I here? Doing what in this planet? What is the meaning…

Why I wrote this Book?
(Written in 2011, edited in 2023. I have added additional commentaries on certain sections in Italics in parentheses.) I have written a separate chapter in this book about how beautiful this life is. Despite various setbacks I have received in life (believe me, I have had my share although superficially it mayn’t look so) ,…

Introduction to the Book
Written in 2011 and edited in 2015. When I re-read this chapter, I found that there were some exaggerated claims and too many exclamatory marks and unneccessary upper cases for emphasis 🙂 I have tried to soften the language here. Ah, a book on success! I wanted to write this book a long time ago…

Why on a spiritual journey?
Seriously, why even bother? I don’t know the answer for you. I am not going to sell “spirituality” to you. There is no good business case to be made. And honestly, I think you should just go on about your happy life without this spirituality thingy ruining your routine. I am serious. Serious enough that…

A Thank You Note
Originally written in 2012, edited in 2015, with minor edits in 2023 Writing this book was not easy. For past many years, I have had the dream of writing such a book that anybody from any discipline could read and get inspired. However, the target group was and still is the youth, those fresh and…

Preface to the Third (Online) Edition
I am very surprised that I am writing a preface to the third edition for this book. I always treated books as living beings with their own lives. And the life of this “Journey of Success” book has been very interesting to say the least. It did wonderfully well, both commercially and in terms of…

In 2018, I joined Harvard Medical School for a fellowship in cancer policy. I was working as a medical oncologist in Civil Service Hospital, Kathmandu at that time and was spending very good quality time with my family, and a very satisfying professional time with my patients who trusted me with their cancer treatment. I…

Journey of Success Book
To my non-Nepali subscribers, this is a book I first wrote in 2012 with a view to inspire Nepali students and youth on their journey of success (not journey to success, because success is not a destination that you can arrive at). Here, I have tried to make the contents applicable universally, even to non-Nepali…
