"After a time a man finds that it is not happiness, but knowledge, towards which he is going, and that both pleasure and pain are great teachers, and that he learns as much from evil as from good."
Swami Vivekananda, An Indian Monk and disciple of Ramakrishna Paramahamsa

Book Recommendation: A Review of 'My First Mythology Tale - Bal Hanuman'
Photograph of The Book - 'My First Mythology Tale - Bal Hanuman' For many years, I nurtured a desire to read, write and review children's books.

In my search for children's literature, I was particularly drawn towards books with vibrant illustrations and colourful storytelling as pictures often capture a child's attention long before words do.

Book Review: 'Swami Vivekananda - His Life & Legacy'
Photograph of the book - Swami Vivekananda - His Life & Legacy, written by Swami Tapasyananda The name of Swami Vivekananda continues to grow in recognition and reverence across the world. And yet, even today, a great many people know surprisingly little about who he truly was, what he stood for and what he contributed — both to India and to humanity at large. Some admire him whole-heartedly, others misunderstand him and some unfortunately misrepresent him. This book, written

Ruskin Bond’s Memoir: 'The Hill of Enchantment' : Book Review
There are writers who impress you with their achievements and then there are those rare souls who invite you into their world so gently that you forget the weight of their greatness. Ruskin Bond belongs to the latter. In his memoir, The Hill of Enchantment, you do not meet the celebrated, heavily-awarded author; instead, you meet a quiet companion walking beside you through misty roads, rustling trees and forgotten afternoons.

Book Review: 'O Dharmaputri!'
A vibrant cover of the book: "O Dharmaputri!', written by Vidhya & Parani Some books inform, while others awaken. ' O Dharmaputri ! – Indian Heart, Yogic Wings' falls into the second category. It doesn’t just tell a story; it shares a feeling. It seems less like a book and more like a letter sent across oceans, from the warm soil of India to the breezy shores of Cyprus. It is written by parents whose hearts are grounded in dharma and their words flow like a prayer. The a

Book Review: The Climate Solution (India's Climate-Change Crisis and What We Can Do About It)
Photograph of the Book, The Climate Solution, written by Mridula Ramesh. Reading 'The Climate Solution' by Mridula Ramesh feels less like engaging with a policy text and more like being drawn into a carefully reasoned conversation about the world we are already living in. The book does not treat climate change as an abstract future crisis; it frames it as a present, everyday disturbance—visible in searing heatwaves, vanishing water tables, unpredictable rains and floods that

'DEWDROPS': How Holy Mother’s Words Healed Me – Book Recommendation
"Dewdrops," a treasured book from Belur Math in West Bengal, which I bought when I visited Belur Math with my Mother, the book offers daily reflections from Holy Mother Sarada Ma. There comes a moment in every seeker’s life when the noise of the world begins to fade and one starts to listen, not to the voices around, but to the whisper within.

Photograph of the Book - ‘The Master As I Saw Him’, by Sister Nivedita ( The Original Article Was Published in My Substack Page: https://majumdarbookreviews.substack.com/ ) There are moments in a life rare, divine moments, when something unseen brushes against the soul.
