Upon choosing to read Real Secrets Of Life! Divine Guidance And Higher Spiritual Techniques For The Next Century,I was hoping for knowledge to feel more united with God. As I read each page, I discovered so much more than I anticipated, as Krishina Jagarnath excelled at explaining his beliefs. The beginning of the book laid the foundation, so the chapters were like building blocks of a house. The further I read, the more I understood why the author formatted his instructions in this manner.

I was very impressed to see that this book could be applied to any person, no matter what religious beliefs they had. Asserting "God created religion, man changed it," allowed me to proceed even when references to parts of Islamic and Hindu beliefs were positive. Being a devout Christian, I would have been appalled by this, however, the author illustrated how I was condemning people that didn't share my beliefs. "Real spirituality is to see the divine in everyone and everything, therefore, do not look down on people of other faiths because God loves all of his children" had a major impact on me when the commandment" love thy neighbor as you love yourself" was compared and both had the same definition.

This book is what I would define as "profoundly dense." I began questioning if I was open-minded as I once believed. I absorbed every new piece bit of information and wrote my new perceptions in my thought journal. Personally, I relish challenging books that make me realize a different view from my own, nonetheless, the amount of information was a bit overwhelming. I still have not completely been able to execute everything I read.

I liked the quotes from respected historical people at the beginning of each chapter. The textbook-style format was actually helpful. At the end of each chapter, there was a basic summary of what he wanted the reader to have learned. I know that I will probably reread this novel many times to clearly correlate all of the lessons. The amount of information was enormous, and I disliked how the author would state read another book to fully appreciate what he was advising. I also disagreed with his recommendation for every person in the world should be vegetarians so world hunger would end. There are more issues that cause impoverished countries full of starvation.

I am rating this book a 4 out of 4. I believe that the book was very well edited as I did not find any typos. There is no profanity and no erotic scenes at all. I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone that wants a quick guide as there is a lot to learn. I would definitely think anyone that is willing to put in the time and effort would definitely benefit from Jagarnath's instructions. I would like anyone that chooses to read this book to keep in mind that many of the techniques are opinions by the author.
