Mumbai – Today there is turmoil at personal, social and international levels; but the solution to all the problems facing humanity lies in the expansive teaching of Sanatan Dharma, ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’ (The World Is the Family). Governor Ramesh Bais asserted that the work of American writer Anand Mathews Zschoche is important in explaining this teaching of Sanatan Dharma scientifically and conveying it to the youth. The book ‘In Quest of Guru’ written by American cinematographer and Sanatan Dharma scholar Anand Mathews Zschoche. This book was released on 16 th December by Governor Ramesh Bais at Raj Bhavan, Mumbai. He spoke while releasing the book.
Guru is very important in Indian philosophy. Guru is given more importance than God; because it is Guru who shows the way to attain God. The search for a Guru is actually a search for oneself. The Governor congratulated the author saying that Anand Mathew Zschoche has explained the empirical philosophy of Sanatan Dharma in simple language to the youth while searching for a Guru. In the book release function, Retired Army Officer Major General GD Bakshi, Retired Colonel Ashok Kini, Anand Mathews Zschoche, author of the book ‘In Quest of Guru’, Spiritual Guru Mohanji, Chief Communication Officer of Vishwa Samvad Kendra Dr Nishith Bhandarkar and invited dignitaries were present.
Governor Ramesh Bais further said, “Today students are taught Physics in school. Children’s IQs is increasing; but they are not taught the art of living. Hence people of all age groups are disturbed and restless at individual, social, as well as national levels; but through Sanatan Dharma, personal, social and international problems can be solved’’.
I turned to Spirituality while in the war zone – GD Bakshi (Retd.) Major General

During my 41 years in the Indian Army, I was involved in the 1971 war, the Kargil war, and the Kashmir skirmishes. At that time, I saw soldiers dying around me. I gave water to many when they were dying. Seeing all this, automatically Spirituality came into my life. Western knowledge is based only on theory; but Indian philosophy is based on experience and intuition. The book written by Anand Mathews Zschoche is based on such spiritual experiences and feelings.
Salvation is not possible without Guru’s grace – Ashok Kini (Retd) Colonel

When the Kargil war was going on, I had the responsibility of handing over the dead bodies of our dead soldiers to their families. While doing it, I became introverted and started my journey towards Spirituality. Moksha (Final Liberation) is not possible without Guru’s grace in life; but for that we need spiritual emotion. When Anand Mathew Zschoche came to me, there was a lot of negativity in him. Many troubles befell him when he was very young. When I gave him a direction, he tried with equal fervour. That is why today he is spiritually awakened.
Sanatan Dharma teaches how to be happy in life ! – Anand Mathews Zschoche

My life was full of challenges and hardship during my childhood. Later I toured the world as a cinematographer. When I came to India, I understood Spirituality, as well as the purpose of life, but I found that the youth of India is far from it. Sanatan Dharma teaches ‘how to be happy in life’. While searching for myself, I had Shri. Ashok Kini as my Guru. He gave me the direction. This book is not only about my spiritual path, but everyone’s spiritual journey.
