India, a nation with extremes like extremely rich and extremely poor; a nation of great Economic power but with poor economic condition of the common man; In the eyes of the advanced western world, India is seen as a most populated, diverse (in race, caste, language, culture, customs, food, climate, etc), technologically advanced (as in space research), economically powerful, religious, democratic country. But then why do the younger generation wish to emigrate abroad to study, work and settle there. During the past 150 years, more than 100 million people have migrated for work. And since 2011, over 1.6 million people have relinquished their Indian citizenship leading to loss of billions in tax revenue for India. Superstitious beliefs still exist. So in this publication, the ground realities are given (that includes my own experiences and observations) - the negative aspects or the ‘darker side’ which has greatly influenced and affected me during my over 70 years of life in India. Why is life not happy and contented in India in spite of scientific and economic advancements ? No wonder India is ranked 126th out of 143 nations in the World Happiness Report (2024). This book explores why for an average common man life is not happy here in India, listing the possible reasons for the present pathetic, pitiable and deplorable state. Will we ever change?
Religious conversion is the most studied aspect of religion by psychologists of religion, but there is still very little actual data available.

Religious conversion is the most studied aspect of religion by psychologists of religion, but there is still very little actual data available. We all tend to follow and practise the religion in which we are born. Converting a person to another religion is not as easy. A person has to feel that there is something fundamentally incorrect about their current religion. Conversion involves conscious decision making based on intellectual exploration or investigation and analysis. It is also based and founded on personal conviction or experience; Mind to analyse intellectually; Heart to believe and; The will to take decision and Follow the New found Faith.
This book not only deals with reasons and factors of conversion, but has also included selected case histories of powerful testimony stories as given in the books authored by the most prominent Atheists, Hindus and Muslims, who themselves got converted to Christianity. It will be interesting to know their background history and how-why they got converted. Hope this book will not only be a great inspiration to Christians to strengthen their Faith but also motivate or encourage non-believers to believe and accept Jesus Christ as their only God and Saviour.
The most famous scientist Albert Einstein once said, “Religion without science is crippled, while science without religion is lame.” Science states that Universe and earth with life evolved in billions of years, while religions say that God created universe, life on earth and finally human being.

The most famous scientist Albert Einstein once said, “Religion without science is crippled, while science without religion is lame.” Science states that Universe and earth with life evolved in billions of years, while religions say that God created universe, life on earth and finally human being. Evolution needs scientific proofs and Creation needs on religious faith. The theory of Big Bang that explains origin of Universe and Darwin's theory on Origin of species are generally accepted theories on Evolution. 'Creation versus Evolution' debate is an ongoing never ending dispute as more scientific discoveries are made. So which is true ? Creation or Evolution? This book unravels the facts.
Saints are persons in heaven who lived virtuous lives, offered their life for others, or were martyred for the faith. More than 10,000 saints recognized by the Roman Catholic Church. Christians venerate the saints. Many find comfort in the knowledge that these holy people shared in their same struggles, sins, doubts, or hardships and ask specific saints to pray for them. Though all the saints are great in one way or other, in my opinion, I consider St. Antony,

Though all the saints are great in one way or other, in my opinion, I consider St. Antony, St.Francis Xavier, and St. Padre Pio as the greatest saints and consider St. Padre Pio as the most extraordinary and the greatest of all saints.
Even today, Jesus is misunderstood and remains a controversial figure. To know the real Jesus would include the fact that what He really taught and what He really did. The record of His life, His teaching and His supernatural miracles as recorded in the four Gospel accounts have come into scrutiny and question in many ways. Many atheists and authors have attempted to investigate in order to disprove His claim and miracles have finally ended in believing Him! H

The record of His life, His teaching and His supernatural miracles as recorded in the four Gospel accounts have come into scrutiny and question in many ways. Many atheists and authors have attempted to investigate in order to disprove His claim and miracles have finally ended in believing Him! Has His divine nature, existence, teachings and miracles historically true and proved? Though, Christianity is a very difficult religion with all impracticable teachings and in spite of hurdles and persecution, it has become the largest religion in the world. Who is the real Jesus?

Why are only very few people successful in life? How to be successful in life? Just what is success and real success? The only ways to success is not a copyrighted formula being sold for price. One of the most important key steps to achieve success in life is to know the meaning of success for your personal life. Many end up in failure. Why? There are definite causes. Real SUCCESS is governed by seven definite laws and if know and apply them, success is assured. Every living being or individual was put on this earth for a Purpose! In the beginning, God designated and set in motion living laws for the very purpose of leading a successful life with happiness, joy and peace for those who follow them. These are the seven great laws of success. But man chose to ignore it and go in his own ways. The Bible offers many insights into man's purpose on Earth and living within a meaningful mission. Money is unlikely to buy or bring happiness. Happiness comes with inner peace, not material goods. So, follow all the seven laws, you are sure to find real happiness, satisfaction, inner peace and true success. Many who followed the first five laws only also achieved success that was not real and enduring, but failed to get happiness or inner peace or finally lost all the wealth.

What are the greatest problems facing mankind today and who is responsible for the increasing problems with the bad effects they are causing? Are you not horrified by the exponential increase in the loss of human values and freedom, social chaos, refugee migrants,pollution, loss of spiritualism, war crimes, etc ? To understand why these are happening, it may be worth going back to find how Suffering originated, in Biblical point of view. Just as then, even now ‘Desire or Greediness’ is the root cause for all problems. In spite of so much advancement in science and technology, problems have only multiplied, not solved. WHY do we lack the knowledge to solve the Evils and other problems escalating in this world? Scientists have been saying that science can solve all the world problems and troubles mankind is facing..! The new knowledge produced every day has also created more problems and evils! So, when Knowledge doubled, Problems also doubled! WHY? Is there Problem with our Knowledge? With our own knowledge levels being so limited, so imperfect, and so incomplete, we all need to know the Words of Wisdom from the Creator, on some kind of regular basis in this life so that we can make it through this life in one piece and get to where we need to go in our divine destinies with Him. This book strives to explain the problems created by man and the solutions for it. Remember, we're all in this together.

Plants are known to synthesize hundreds of chemical compounds for functions like defence against pests, internal and external pathogens, diseases and herbivores. Numerous phytochemicals with biological activity have been identified. In modern medicine, around a quarter of the drugs prescribed to patients are derived from medicinal plants after clinical trials in animals and human subjects for efficacy and side effects. Some of the findings have led to the production of plant-based medicines. The global market value of medicinal plant products exceeds $100 billion per annum. This is the reason why the World Health Organization initiated the Traditional Medicine Program some years ago, to help Member States to make a critical examination of their traditional medicine systems and practices and to see what should be retained and adapted to today's needs and what should be discarded as useless or harmful. In some Asian and African countries, up to 80% of the population relies on traditional medicine for their Primary health care needs. Hence, countries like China, India have combined traditional and modern medicine in the health services. In this publication, the medicinal uses of more medicinally significant tropical and temperate plants, algae and fungi (mushrooms) have been explained. And special mentions are made on the medicinal importance of garlic, turmeric and marijuana and plants with anti-diabetic, anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, cardio-protective activity.

‘Father of Medicine’ Hippocrates (460-370BC) stated: “Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food”. This book strives to explain in detail as to ‘How Food can be the best Medicine’. The importance of food in both causing and relieving physical ailments is known. The “food as medicine” philosophy of Hippocrates had been largely neglected, with modern food culture and habits. What you choose to eat has profound effects on your overall health. Research shows that dietary habits influence disease risk. While certain foods may trigger chronic health conditions, others offer strong medicinal and protective qualities. Many nutrients in food promote health and protect your body from disease. What we eat is the main culprit behind many chronic diseases, and eating a healthier diet helps prevent and treat the most common of these debilitating conditions.
Diets high in fruits, vegetables, legumes, fiber, and certain spices have been shown to suppress chronic inflammation and prevent the development of chronic diseases. Health benefits of millets, spices, vegetables and fruits are explained. Details on How to boost Immunity, fight inflammation, delay aging are given. Super nutritious supplements, high-fiber rich diet, vegetarian and other food diet-plans are discussed. Remember ‘Health is Wealth’. Wishing You Best of Health!
