I chant Saraswati Vandana and Gayatri Mantra. They keep me going.

We often chant mantras and shlokas, but do we know the meaning they carry? The essence behind the shlokas, Mantras and bhajans? This cute little book is a perfect guide when it comes to knowing the essence of each chanting.

My Wisdom Book by Swami_mukundananda draws on the knowledge of the Scriptures to explain ancient wisdom in an easy way for beginners. Divided into two parts, Junior and Seniors, there are daily Shlokas, Mantras and Bhajans shared by the author explaining their meaning which is perfect for young readers.

Saint Kabir says, ‘ In this world everybody is poor, nobody is rich. Only the one who has love for God is truly wealthy.’
