Every person on this planet is suffering from one disease or the other, and if not, then most likely from some kind of deficiency. In fact, people who believe they follow a healthy diet or routine are also not spared. Ever wondered why this happens? Dr Deepti Sehgal’s Body & Mind Transformation is the answer to all your queries.
In the five parts that the book is divided into, Deepti debunks and explains the implications of our ‘modern’ lifestyle. Pointing out ancient wisdom which states that with age, humans become wiser, stronger, more knowledgeable, and happier, the author says that we are living in reverse and have accepted this as a fact. In this era, our progressive years are marked by ill-health and simultaneous pill-popping, courtesy of our lifestyle disorders. Body & Mind Transformation is a self-help guide that empowers everyone reading it, with the ability to heal themselves completely.
We come into this world naturally healthy, and the diseases we manifest are nothing but the result of what we do to ourselves over time. So, before setting out to heal ourselves, we must first understand our body. Taking us through the everyday routine of our lives, Deepti unravels the causes of our ill health in the first part of the book. The second part of the book is about understanding how the human body is a part of nature and being in sync with nature is the best way to live. The third part is dedicated to the holistic connection of our body, mind, and soul. The book is compiled brilliantly to offer deep insights on well-being by combining the traditional and ancient knowledge of ayurveda, traditional Chinese medicine, and macrobiotics to know our body inside out. From the get-go, you will begin to understand that you are in control of your body and also possess the power to reverse illness from its roots.
Self-reflection and self-analysis, which are the first steps to transformation, form the core of this book. Our holistic connection with nature is primary and our body is automatically tuned to its rhythms. When we flow against it, diseases occur. The final part of the book culminates in the day-to-day foundational steps that one can take to restore health.
This book is an eye-opener and an all-in-one solution for wellness, energy, beauty, and weight loss—all through logical solutions!

Karma Sutra: Cracking the Karmic code

“Destiny is the fructification of our positive and negative karmic stock.”
—Hingori
The quote above summarises the word ‘karma.’ I would also relate karma with Newton’s Third Law of Motion that says, ‘Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.’ The concept of karma is all about cause and effect. Every action performed by us, be it physical or mental, will have its respective consequence. All thoughts and actions create equal and opposite reactions which determine the various episodes of our lives.
Karma Sutra: Cracking the Karmic Code by Hingori is a simple book, useful for everyone, especially those having little knowledge of karma. Dissecting even minor actions of our day-to-day lives, the book provides a complete analysis of your actions and their after-effects in an elaborate way.
Addressing various fundamental yet significant issues, the author provides a crystal clear picture of karma through suitable examples. The book begins with an explanation of karma and then goes on to shed light on concepts like The business of karma, Theory of balancing karma, The Maya circle, and so on.
The business of karma explains in detail how the ledger of one’s karmic account is maintained, just like any other business. The author has also provided a karmic worksheet, which allows one to assess one’s actions and then alter them accordingly. Karmic laws work subtly and apply minutely, and this book makes us realise the consequences of our unmindful thoughts, words, and actions. It also discusses the possibility of transcending the cycle of karma by gradually giving up doership and connecting spiritually with the concept of Universal Oneness.
Hingori, an author and a teacher of spirituality, whose life changed 35 years ago after he came in touch with his Gurudev, has penned this book straight from his heart. Even small deeds—like having a good thought, being empathetic, greening places, and educating people—have been addressed by him in such a way that it satisfies the readers with each turning page.
Karma Sutra, which is a part of Hingori Sutras, a series of easy-to-read books that distil the spiritual wisdom of siddha gurus of yore, will enhance your knowledge of karma and make you introspect. A good book for all and sundry.
