What ails human civilisation in the twenty-first century? What has become of our values and morals? Why is our world beset with violence and strife and disharmony? Why are young people restless and discontented with their lives? Why are women not given their due? Why are family values deteriorating? Why do we lack a dynamic leadership which is infused with ethics? What has gone wrong with politics today? How can we stem the tide of corruption and apathy and social insensitivity and civic irresponsibility? How can we usher in a new era, a new world order that can bring out the best that our society is capable of? This book offers a simple and straight answer to all these pressing questions that men and women are raising everywhere: New Education Can Make the World New! In this, his latest book, J P Vaswani outlines his views on new education and shows us what value-based education can truly do for our future citizens and for humanity as a whole. A renowned spiritual leader, a visionary thinker, a practical philosopher and himself a distinguished educationist and spiritual mentor of the well known Sadhu Vaswani Mission's educational institutions, Dada offers us his idealistic and yet practical views on the subject, in this well thought-out and well brought-out book.

God is one, but the ways to reach him are many! This central thought in Gita, has also been the dearly held ideal of Gurudev Sadhu Vaswani - an ideal which is upheld by Rev. Dada J P Vaswani, the mentor and spiritual head of the Sadhu Vaswani Mission. It is in this spirit of reverence and admiration that Rev. Dada offers for our reading, his own distinct tribute to the Great Sikh Gurus who have always been a tremendous source of inspiration to him and his ancestors. This book is much more that biographical account of the great Masters; nor is it another compendium of their invaluable teachings. Rev. Dada's stated wish is to talk about them and the values for which they stood, values which were translated into thoughts and words and deeds in their life and teachings.

If you regard life as a journey towards Liberation, Salvation and attainment of eternal Bliss, then you are certain to agree that we all need the best guidance we can get to complete the journey successfully and reach the much desired destination. What better guidance can we hope for, than the lives of the great saints sent by God to live, walk and talk as one among us, great souls who have not only been our mentors and teachers, but role models whom we must try to emulate? And who better to tell us about these noble ones, than one who has not only read deeply of their lives and teachings, but bears witness to their message in deeds of daily living - Rev. Dada J P Vaswani, a living saint of our own times? Read Dada's very own inspired account of the lives of these great saints - of Guru Nanak and Gautama Buddha; Baha'u'llah and Lord Dattatreya; Tulsidas and Purandardas; Rabiya and Avvaiyar; Tolstoy and Gurudev Ranade; Sri Ramakrishna and his sacred consort, Ma Sharada; modern day sages like Kagawa and the one and only Helen Keller; and, many others who lived the Life Beautiful in their own terms - these personal tributes are bound to leave you profoundly moved and truly uplifted. Let Dada's rendering of the lives of these great saints show you how you, too, can make your life sublime!

It has been said that this human birth is God's greatest gift to us. Most of us hardy ever stop to assess the true value of this precious gift. Perhaps many of us are apt to imagine that we are leading busy, full lives, making the best possible use of God's rare gift. Have you ever paused to ask yourself the question, 'Is my life truly rewarding, fulfilling and satisfying? Am I living the Life Beautiful?' If this question has crossed your mind even once, you are sure to draw inspiration and spiritual sustenance from Dada J P Vaswani's captivating account of the Lives of Saints. Dada's profound admiration, love and reverence for these great souls transcends all narrow boundaries of race, nationality: caste, creed and community. Thus he writes with equal respect for Sadhvi Vasuki and Mother Teresa; Adi Shankara comes alive in these pages as does Father Damien; Albert Schweitzer is featured here, as is Hasan Darvesh; and, you will also get to learn about less well known men and women, who, in Sadhu Vaswani's words, lived a 'hidden life in the Hidden One'. Most moving among them all, is Dada's memorable account of the life and teachings of his own Gurudev, Sadhu Vaswani. Open the book and start reading from any page - you will find yourself blessed, inspired and rejuvenated.

People often say that life is a battle, which must be conquered; that life is a challenge, which must be faced. Dada J.P. Vaswani's 'take' on life is different; life is the greatest gift bestowed on us, a gift which we must treasure and cherish. Dada's message in this slim, but powerful and inspiring volume is especially meant for the youth: make friends with life; make the most of this valuable gift. Frustration, failures, disappointments and set-backs are all part of the complex wave of life; they embellish life by making us wiser, stronger, more aware and more sensitive. They help us to evolve and grow in maturity and emotional strength. They also help to highlight the positive aspects of life, which we often tend to lose sight of, or even take for granted. Let Dada show you, with his inimitable wit and wisdom, how to shake hands with life.

Life is God's greatest gift to us. Are we living our lives fully, joyously? Are we making the most of this valuable gift? When the going is good, we live well. But the moment we face problems, we lose heart. When difficulties strike, we blame others, we blame circumstances, we may even blame God! How can we face adversities with courage and confidence and come out on top? What can we do when difficulties strike? According to Rev Dada L P Vaswani, the answer is simple: we I must cultivate faith. We must live by faith: for faith is the key to the treasure of life; faith is the sustaining, nourishing power that makes life beautiful, happy and serene. In this thought-provoking book which has been compiled from Rev Dada's discourses, he shares with us the formula that can make the impossible possible - through what he calls the secret of triple faith: faith in the self, faith in the world around us and faith in the goodness of God. As always, Dada leads us by example: what comes through most powerfully in this book is Dada's own faith that all was well, all is well, and all will be well, today, tomorrow, and a thousand years from now. It is impossible for anyone to read his words and fail to be imbued with the faith that can move mountains! Make the most of your life with the faith that can work wonders for you. Let Dada show you how the gift of faith can transform your life.

Peace, joy, liberation, freedom from anxiety and worry, and the perfect sense of security that one finds at the chosen haven - if you have ever wondered where you are ever likely to come across all these together, the answer is: in the Kingdom of God - that which you and I call heaven! Heaven need not be remote from us in time or distance: there are right royal routes, wide open gateways to this kingdom all along the journey of life. Indeed, Rev. Dada J P Vaswani shows that heaven is within reaching distance for all of us - if only we choose the right route and the right gateway. Many of us are apt to imagine that virtuous living and high thinking are only for realised souls; as for the rest of us, life is meant to be a mundane, worldly existence. Rev. Dada shows us that the gift of life does not have to be wasted in futile efforts; each minute, each hour, each day that we live can actually be converted into a wealth of goodness which will be ours beyond this world. Like the expert guide that he is, Rev. Dada offers us a roadmap that leads us to the true treasure that is everlasting: the treasure that cannot be looted, destroyed, lost in debt or rendered ineffective due to inflation or economic recession! Rev. Dada's latest book reveals that heaven need not necessarily be a distant destination: following Rev. Dada's guiding wisdom, you will realise that you can actually create your own heaven here on this earth.
