The Trilogy Is Complete

Revisado: 11-27-18

After Sapiens and Homo Deus, this third from their brilliant author Yuval Noah Harari appears to complete his messages to the world. Diligence in researching, deep understanding of ideas and drawing sensible conclusions is Harari's forte. His humility lies in not attempting to answer each and every point raised and leaving it to the readers to draw their own conclusions is strong point of this man. The final chapter on his personal experiences with Vipasana is very much necessary to give a great closure to what according to me is one of the most brilliant trilogy of modern times. The only places where he swaggered was when the same points got repeatedly repeated. Absolutely loved it but won't read a fourth one of the same genre from the same author.

The Profound Depths of The Upanishads

Revisado: 08-30-18

It is not easy to simplify Upanishads. Eknath has done it. Without losing its essence, he has conveyed his commentary on these eternal scriptures lucidly, accurately and lovingly. When I began this audiobook, I was very curious as to how it will go. Ekanath Easwaran guides it on track and in the right direction. I enjoyed and evolved from my experience of this book.

A Murder Near Classic

Revisado: 08-07-18

Fine performances and a fast paced drama is the hallmark of this so well-known near classic. Too much complexity is difficult for any audio book listener to handle. It puts him at an obvious disadvantage. This is the drawback of this what could have easily be proclaimed as a classic - the medium has beaten it.

Sensationaism Well Presented

Revisado: 07-14-18

Loved the sensationalism. Good fiction. The authors capitalize on the current day threat of cyber attacks and convert it into a thrilling story. I won't be surprised if a Hollywood movie is created from this. But after all fiction is a fiction with no messages to take. The performance is absolutely superb.

World Divinity From India

Revisado: 07-07-18

Swami Yogananda Paramhamsa was a liberated soul who visited this world to guide others - lesser mortals to that liberated state. Narrated wonderfully by Ben Kingsley, every word emanating from these pages are a source of powerful beacon of guidance to this world. I wanted to read this book for years, but it was only when the book selected me, in the fifth decade of life that my dream came true. I feel blessed as the book ends but the spiritual journey continues

Average Spicy Story

Revisado: 06-14-18

It's a gripping story amazingly narrated. However, the end seems contrived and doesn't fit in the canvas of the entire book. All in all I found it to be an average book with a spicy story line stitching in twists and turns

Comes with a thunder leaves with a whimper

Revisado: 05-15-18

Average book. Nothing so attractive except the narration and sound management. Open ended books are always at a disadvantage. This book isn't able to conquer this challenge.

Profound

Revisado: 03-28-18

Touched every cell within. Life changer. Soars to the heights of the gigantic persona of The Great Monk himself, Swami Vivekananda.
