About the Book

The Book, “Self Offerings”, deals with the Hindu Scriptures such as Vedas, Upanishads and Bhagawad Gita. It discusses the Ithihasas, (epics), Ramayana and Mahabharata and Puranas in conveying the philosophy and the codes of conduct. The tenets of Hinduism, Nirguna and Saguna Brahma and ritualistic aspect of Hinduism are included.

The universality of ISVARAH, the GOD, as said in Upanishads, states that all that is in this universe is in Oneness with ISVARAH, the LORD. Understanding this reality, and living in harmony with the world, is recognizing ISVARAH. Then the actions, thoughts, and words are archana (offerings) to ISVARAH. These harmonious offerings of one’s actions with an understanding of the LORD, is one’s Self Offerings to ISVARAH.
