Life-Changing Maha Mantras

Win the inner battle—10 Gita mantras for unshakable clarity, courage, and control

How do you stay grounded when everything around you feels uncertain? How do you act with courage—and still let go of the outcome?

Life-Changing Maha Mantras distils the timeless wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita into ten powerful, practical principles for modern living. Rooted in ancient Indian philosophy yet sharply relevant to today’s fast-paced, high-pressure world, this book bridges spirituality and everyday decision-making.

Through compelling stories, relatable insights, and clear, actionable guidance, it helps you build resilience, find clarity in chaos, and cultivate inner freedom—whether at work, in relationships, or within yourself.

An emotive, accessible guide that turns the Gita into a compact toolkit for purpose, balance and quiet strength, transforming everyday life into an alchemy of joy and self-realization.

Courage under Fire

Anyone who has worked in the corporate world, especially in FMCG, knows that calm waters are rare and crises often arrive without warming.

Courage Under Fire is a practical leadership logbook drawn from four decades of Suresh Narayanan’s own experiences of managing battles in the corporate trenches. Rather than offering abstract leadership theory, the book uses real episodes—across multiple countries—to show how leaders can navigate volatility with judgment, values, and coordinated action. It argues that leadership is fundamentally human: built on trust, values, behaviour, credibility, and outcomes.

Narayanan uses stories from the MAGGI crisis, the Arab Spring in Egypt, the 2008 financial shock in Singapore, and COVID-era decisions to driving home some fundamentals in management—staying grounded, asking the right questions, communicating clearly, and putting people first.

Everyday Etiquette

Everyday Etiquette: The Art of Mindful Living is a heartfelt, practical guide to reclaiming the lost art of everyday grace—at home, online, and at work.

In a world that is faster, louder and increasingly distracted, small courtesies are disappearing. A greeting goes unsaid. Messages remain unanswered. Presence is replaced by screens. Yet it is often these smallest gestures that shape how we are remembered.

Blending timeless Indian values with contemporary relevance, Manik Kaur reimagines etiquette not as rigid rules or social performance, but as mindfulness in action. From navigating WhatsApp groups and workplace meetings to hosting with warmth, dressing with intention, and communicating with empathy, she shows how small acts can have a powerful ripple effect on our relationships and self-worth.

With warmth, wit, and wisdom drawn from her own life, Manik weaves relatable anecdotes and practical tools into a compelling narrative. Whether you’re a young professional stepping into a big-city job, an educator seeking life-skills content, or a parent raising children in a hyper-digital world, this book is for you.

Simple Thinking

We are obsessed with complexity and constantly seek elaborate responses to overcome challenges. The Power of Simple Thinking offers an alternate way to look at problems. Remember simplicity isn’t the absence of sophistication, rather it is finding clarity amidst chaos. If you are overwhelmed with clutter, see how a shift to simplicity can reduce outside noise and unlock smarter solutions.

Hope in the Valley

Pandita Paul doesn’t like change.

Pandita’s not ready to start middle school. She does not want to lose her memories of her mother, who died a few years earlier. And she does not want to lose the secret place where she would spend time with her mother, at an abandoned house across the street.

When the town decides that the old house must be bulldozed, and her town and her family divided on the issue, Pandita has to find her voice—and the strength to move on—in order to give her community hope.

Hope in the Valley is a tale of grief, family, friendship and poetry—and of growing up in Silicon Valley, at a time when immigrants are looked at with suspicion.

The Flow Habit: Creating Peace, Passion, Purpose, and Everyday Miracles

An easy-to-read guidebook to how flow—that feeling we all get when we’re so into what we’re doing that we lose track of time—can change our lives. The Flow Habit is filled with simple exercises and inspiring stories from people around the world who have experienced the life-changing magic of flow.

The Flow Habit is for anyone ready for a turning point. If you’ve lost your spark, or dream of something more for your life, this is the book for you. Author Laurie Smith shows how simply spending a few minutes each day doing activities that truly bring us joy can dramatically change our lives. That’s because when we do what we love, we discover the power of the flow state—that feeling we get when we’re so into what we’re doing that we lose track of time.

When we’re in a flow state, the volume of that inner critic turns way down. We stop worrying about what other people think. We no longer feel pulled in lots of different directions by outer distractions. Instead, we feel a sense of calm, confidence, and purpose. We know what matters most in each moment, and how we can help.

Flow is not just the key to feeling positive. It’s also the key to reconnecting with who we really are, our unique gifts, and finding fun ways to share them with the world. The more we experience flow, the more flow becomes a habit, and the better our overall lives tend to flow too. In flow, we often have experiences far more wonderful than anything we could have ever imagined.

The Flow Habit is full of tips and exercises to help you uncover your unique formula for flow, rekindle your spark, and create a plan for following with where your soul is calling you to go.

Karma and Devotion: The Sacred Path to God Through the Heart

Best-selling author and spiritual pioneer Dr. David R. Hawkins unlocks the power of love and the truth of karma, guiding you toward a profound new way of seeing reality.

In this new book, derived from Dr. David Hawkins’s popular Way to God lecture series, he explores the transformative power of Unconditional Lovingness and the spiritual significance of karma.

Dr. Hawkins unpacks the ineffable nature of love as a pathway to the Divine. He reveals how love manifests in countless forms—from duty and commitment to caringness and even love for the body—and invites us to recognize its presence as a constant of life. He explores traditional devotional practices, the power of true forgiveness, and the profound surrender that leads to spiritual freedom.

Then, he delves into the complexities of karma—how our “karmic inheritance” shapes our lives and offers opportunities for spiritual growth. He explains how this earthly realm functions as a purgatorial space, where individuals can undo negative karma, cultivate positive karma, and accelerate their spiritual evolution.

Through these teachings, you’ll begin to see that love is everywhere and to nurture those parts of yourself. Karma and Devotion offers deep insights into the journey of awakening, providing practical wisdom for those seeking to align with higher consciousness and divine truth.
