Men, as they are!
Did you know that a man's obsession with his bike subtly shows the affection he demands from his woman? Did you know that pink may not be a woman's favourite colour after all? Did you know that men are not polygamous by nature? Most importantly, did you know that each zodiac sign carries its own style of making love? The book answers all of these and more, including how I balk at the pressure to get married only to realise that there are many more women like me who love their independence, space and regular infiltration of office workload. It also reveals how men are not a confusing lot to understand. You just need to switch your brains on to understand prerogatives better. It unleashes the power hidden in the zodiac sign of your man to know if he is the answer to your prayers or you need to wait a little longer continuing the ritual of fasting on specific religious days for a perfect partner.

The Magic Of Awakening
Spirituality in its true form is neither an escape nor refuge. It’s about reconnecting with our real self, understanding our hidden potential, preparing ourselves to deal with emerging situations and much, much more. Spirituality helps by attaching a context to the various occurrences in our everyday life. It also expands human potential to deal with the infinite aspects of life.Until we remove the blindfold of ignorance and understand the real truth about life and living, we’ll continue to believe fallacies and get bogged down by existential dilemmas. The truth of life lies in the art of being one with life—a truth that not only takes us forward in our spiritual quests, but also elevates our level of consciousness. All paths that lead to the truth begin differently but end in the same way—with understanding.Sirshree tells us how to awaken and feel the magic within. He says, ‘All paths that lead to the truth begin differently but end in the same way— with understanding. Understanding is the whole thing . . . listening to this understanding is enough.’ Established in 1999, the Tejgyan Foundation has multiple centres across India. The Foundation has administered several programmes in different countries.
