Questionnaire:
Neel Preet: Firstly, Congratulations on your book, “Paramdham: The Journey Inward!” What responses are you getting from this book of yours? Please share your experience about this book.
Pushpa Yadav: Positive responses
Neel Preet: What inspired you to write this book? What was the impetus behind this work of yours?
Pushpa Yadav: I am going to be very honest here since childhood i felt strong connection with God,god is just the name given to higher authorities which are ruling this planet in different forms of energy like gravitational energy, mechanical energy and many more ,through my personal experiences i understood that this life is beautiful i also went through tough times in my life but by grace of divine intelligence which can be access through devotion and strong faith in positive energy i was redeemed and able to go through easily in my bad times which arose because of my own mistakes and also external conditions were never on my side but i never gave up in my life and i learned so much through the difficult times so i reflected those challenges in my book “ Paramdham”,The protagonist was facing same challenges which i been through in my life so my own life inspired me to write this book , i think everyone is facing similar conditions but may or may not be in different ways
Neel Preet: You’ve given a very interesting title to your book, which is very thought provoking too so, what made you go for this title for your book?
Pushpa Yadav: It is very important to be connected to our roots that is our culture and Indian culture is very scientific and beautiful i tell you i have just read bhagwat geeta , Vishnu puran, Buddhist teachings and watched Ramayan and Mahabharat on television these things have helped we lot in my life and i understood that earth is just a platform for energies like us to fulfill our desires which are pious and truthful in nature . Ofcourse we are also energy beings we get energy from food to run the life we are small energies of the higher intelligence that we know as God ,God must be staying somewhere in Hindu philosophy places are mentioned that we have Brahmaloka , Shivloka, Paramdham that is Vaikutha and these places are easily accessible through meditation and specially with devotion of these positive energies when you have any or little access to these energies you will be fearless , truth speaker and will be happy in every condition it does not matter what the external conditions are throwing at you,there was a time when science was not believing in ever expanding theory but now it has strong evidence on theory of ever expanding of universe and Vedic science was knowing the universe is ever expanding . Vedic science was developed and it is related in modern period , these lokas and dhams are mentioned in Vedic literature which is a pure form of literature.I also felt the same power after practicing meditation and practicing righteousness in mind and body.so my aim is always to feel that higher level that is Vaikutha so the name given to the book “ Paramdham”.
Neel Preet: What was your mind-set, while working on this book? What do you expect the readers to extract from this book?
Pushpa Yadav: Well if we see our History of Invasion and how we were forced to leave our dharma and accept wrong supremacy and how foreigners redicule our culture which now they accept that is i am not going to use was here,Our indian culture is very scientific and very relavant to every era.If we follow our Dharma and Indian culture which is completely based on human values ,we will easily navigate in our life ,Hindu Dharma says that life is made of both good and bad times and we can sail through these times very easily if we are link with higher intelligence that is Divine power and in kalyug period it is easily accessible but one should agree with the positive thoughts and work upon it , for eg if we are thinking about the sexual thoughts and in physicality we are chanting names of god , it will not work we should maintain discipline even in the mind and with that chanting we can move from lower thoughts of materialism to higher thoughts of Divine which is worth living so this was and is my mind set while writing the book and i have mentioned my experience with sexual thoughts in the chapter “Pleasant journey’’,
Now in modern period it is easy to transfer the somedody’s thoughts on someone else just like kalyuga ,bad people are taking advantages of their meditative powers in wrong ways to change the people in bad directions , i am talking about the bad influence done on mental level or Physical level , it is a complex topic .Meditation does not only mean sitting and closing eyes ,medition also means how we meditate on good or bad thoughts and their influences in our life foreg : Lord Ram was meditating on dhrama which can be seen in his actions ,krishna was meditating on dharma , Buddha meditating on right actions which can be seen in his life and teachings so meditation is an umbrella term.
Just like Mughals, Britishers, there are people who still snatching Indians from their culture which is full of life and my personal experience says that if we dont lose our dharma , dharma will not let us down and will guide in every walks of life. Foreigners were losers they were knowing that they cant have life like indians what brought them to Indian was the wealth and the knowledge, Indians were having so how can our culture be backward ,they played mind games with us and now some people following their Footstep and ignorant Indians accepting them so my aim is to connect the readers with the Indian culture and beautiful philosophies of Hindu. My dharma helped me lot and ofcourse it will help who will follow it.
Neel Preet: How is this book of yours different from the other titles of the same genre?
Pushpa Yadav:
Well every writer has his or her way of writing which i respect that and in my book i am sharing the thoughts which are free from boundaries now a days all crime is happening because we think this is the only life we have and we stress lot about it but truth is that this life which we are living is going to be past and our present actions will decide our future in life even after the death ,where will our karma go , it has to be end or fulfil somewhere, we create so many desires in one life and that too in most cases not fulfilled so rebirth is possible and in India we have so many cases about rebirth what my book is saying that we can live happily if we try our best to push our boundaries in right direction and earning everything without harming anybody and this is possible if we practice devotion and rightfulness ,setting and closing eyes may not possible everyday but we can chant gods name anytime in a day and can do right things same way. This happens with pvarnika also she cannot do meditation because of interference of bad thoughts depicted by kalyuga but she can do what ever best in that condition that means doing right thing which is available to her in present condition so my book is not giving just philosophy but encouraging readers to do right things as Pvarnika did in the story ,may be its tough to become doctor , engineer but it’s not tough to become a human being in complete sense
Neel Preet: Next, I would want you to tell us about some of those writers, who had inspired you and whom you follow!
Pushpa Yadav:I follow Sadguru of Isha foundation in coimbatore , He is just not a yogi but a writer too.I watch satsang of many respected people like Ramabhadracharya , Jaya kishori , kishori Jani and many more. I always watched positive things and positive people but i also like to watch good movies.i am complete human.
Neel Preet: Which segment of readers is your primary target through this book of yours? And, how is your book relevant in the present day scenario?
Pushpa Yadav: i will not use the word target here its very dominating and negative . I want my book to reach specially to the youth , children of India ,they should know that their culture ,their gods are relevant even in this time, they should know how to access them for example i want to become a doctor i should study of the same , in same manner if i want to feel divine and its power we need to become devotee first, without gaining the knowledge and love of God if we say it does not exist is too foolish and stupid idea. My book is for everybody because life is never ending process of learning , even knowing so many things about life , i am just a learner because life is full of surprises and knowledge if we are ready to learn new things and do not hang upon tightly to old information we should update our knowledge and allow new positive findings to shape our life .
Neel Preet: Is there any message that you would like to convey to your readers? Or any piece of advice, which you would like to give to the readers out there!
Pushpa Yadav:
Do not detach yourself from your precious Indian culture it’s a shield which can protect you from unnecessary troubles. Search it, believe it and allow it to be a part of your life you will see that it is taking you in right direction. Have patience, don’t fool yourself by materialistic thoughts.
Neel Preet: Are there any other books being worked by you? Please let us know about your future projects.
Pushpa Yadav:
“Paramdham – The Journey Inward ” is my first book , i am working on another story which is title “ Mira and the return of kalyavan ”This story is teaching about the power of devotion.I am working on other stories and these stories will be released in coming years.
Neel Preet: Thank you so much for answering all my questions. All the very best to you for future and your book too!
Pushpa Yadav: Thank you.
