Teachings of the Inner Light

In a harmonious society, spirituality pervades. But it is paradoxical that India, with its abundance of spiritual wealth, is itself facing a growing incidence of disharmony and stress-related problems. Apart from scriptures such as the Gita or the Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna, which are never rendered obsolete by time, a large volume of recent literature on holistic living addresses this problem. This text is one such.

Deepa Kodikal explains how one can progress spiritually while leading a normal life. No new doctrine is propagated and one is not required to change one’s path. The contents of the book, the author points out, are based on her own spiritual experiences and ‘knowledge from within’. Therefore, the lessons as well as the terms used should be understood in that context. The epilog provides a graphic account of some of these experiences.
