After reading this book, I was totally taken back for the fact that these epics were penned down not only for its events/stories but also to impart some great morals. This book gave me a different perception since Shubha Vilas has carefully taken the examples from Ramayana and Mahabharata and crafted it perfectly with his wisdom making it a real pleasant read.

Beyond the story-line, something deeper is waiting to be discovered from these ancient texts. This book is an attempt to uncover the hidden layer of wealth that is cleverly packaged within the commonly known story lines.

Open-Eyed Meditations autographed by Shubha Vilas is the top quality jewel. This book provides insights and observations to think deeper to meditate with open eyes to change life for better.

Beyond the storyline, something deeper is waiting to be discovered from these ancient texts. This is practical knowledge which doesn't require any tools to understand. All it requires is a shift in your basic mind set and your time

When I completed the book, I knew that this book would become my new go-to book whenever I am down. It has situations pertaining to every part of our life like friendship, work relations, love affairs etc. It is wonderful the way the author has written so much in depth and analysed so much about our everyday life and also our epics- Ramayana and Mahabharata.

Each chapter takes up one issue and offers a practical solution to it by linking it to one or more incident from the epics. if one looks deeper, one would understand that they are more relevant now than they were before. Open-Eyed Meditations reconfirms this.

This book is certainly not a one time read and has to be a part of our personal library and has to be picked up from the bookshelf often to absorb the brilliant insights.

HOpen eyed meditation is a collection of thoughts about various aspects of life that is purely inspired by observing the world through the lenses of the Vedic epics. A great book for everyday life's practical wisdom. I give five out of five stars for this book
