This holy book is so well known that it needs hardly any introduction. So, I will skip that.

But why should one surrender to God? Just because some religious scripture asks us to?

Quick links Pause Normal 0 false false false EN-US In Today’s book talk I am going to discuss about my book “Upanishads – A journey into the unknown”. The original title for this book that was in mind was – “Upanishads – A journey into the unknowable”. But then I changed it to the current title to avoid sounding a bit oxymoronic! If something is ‘unknowable’, there is no way you can know it!
