An educated scientist and businessman, author Ramesh Malhotra seeks to unveil the secrets of nature known to ancient spiritual scholars. In 2013, he published Spiritual Wisdom based on the holy scripture, Bhagavad Gita. And lately, he’s been working to unveil truths buried in the Vedas, composed by spiritual scholars throughout the years before the second millennium BCE and extending into the Late Bronze Age. In the first volume of In Search of Absolute Truth, Malhotra journeys through complex, ancient Rig-Veda mystic mythology, writings that address various aspects of creation preservation and transformation, covering the first five chapters of the Rig-Veda. He shares that finding knowledge buried in holy scripture is like climbing a mountain. Your judgment and perception are constantly refined as you move higher and higher in understanding the Vedas. You come to know absolute truth only when you reach the pinnacle, look around, and see that many hills make the mountain peak of the absolute truth. This follow-up work, In Search of Absolute Truth: Rig-Veda Volume II: Spiritual Involution continues where the first volume leaves off.

'Surprises, entertains and enchants ... the modern successor to Gilbert White and Henry David Thoreau.’ Indra Sinha, author of Animal’s People, short-listed for the 2007 Man Booker prize ‘A simple walk in the woods becomes a year-long adventure packed with mysteries, insights and wonder, often all on the same page. Ken's 'Field' will make you happy and, possibly, consider investing in rugged new footwear.’ Emma Thompson, Oscar-winning actress and screenwriter Following a chance encounter with a kingfisher whilst walking his dogs in the overgrown field adjoining his Breton home, Ken Burnett is struck by the realisation that despite having lived in a quaint French hamlet for the past thirteen years, encircled by farmland, he knows next to nothing about his surroundings. He resolves to examine nature’s little wonders rather more closely, with surprising and delightfully funny results. Accompanied by his three trusty dogs, and aided by wife Marie and a full complement of endearingly eccentric neighbours, Ken conducts a twelve-month observation of his field, which is, upon further inspection, rich with wonder. From foxes to wild flowers, magical mushrooms to mothering moorhens, Ken discovers that his unassuming patch of land is as bursting with life as any major city. The Field By The River is a thought-provoking and enchanting work; a joyous, charming celebration of the fragile, interconnected ecosystem that can be found if we only take the time to part the leaves, look under the mosses or overturn a stone.
