"Looking Inward" is an excellent book. It was poetic and I'm overwhelmed with emotions. It is indeed true that poetry does give all readers around the world. It is like language of love. I was immersed with the author's back story--- America, India and UK. Overall, the book neither has typographical nor grammatical error. Hats off to you, author.

Non fiction books and spiritual ones are not my cup of tea. But I've read the review and the book tells a lot about the author's experience and his thoughts so I'm sure the book will find its reader. Congratulations on becoming BOTD!

This is an interesting review that puts in perspective the Prologue I sampled. I found it interesting to read in your review that this is a book of poetry and has three parts, with the third part about "starting in the UK". I also found it intriguing that some poems are about the afterlife of some Emily. I agree that fans of poetry will find this book useful.

I am not a great fan of poetry, but the spiritual content in the book and my tendency and love for books with spiritual content will make me give "Looking Inwards: A Journey into Turiya" a chance. Congratulations to the author on BOTD!

Latest Review: The Girl Who Knew Da Vinci by Belle Ami

Post by Mayuri Kotalawala »

" The book begins with an essay on poetry and society, after which the content is divided into three parts: PART I – In America, PART II – Middle Years In India, and PART III – Starting In The UK. All these were written with the greatest mission of “keeping us all together in peace" through love. From a grand perspective, does poetry not serve as gasoline that keeps us running?
- I'm a poetry fan, so this book got my attention at once. But the fact that the author has almost crossed the globe, so to speak, with the poems is fascinating. It doesn't matter that it "contains a lot of spiritual content relating to higher devotion," I will read it for sure. A well designed review. Thank you.

I believe that this book will be a good and enlightening book about social responsibility but I am more curious to find out how poetry was incorporated in this book.

I like reading poems, and I'm so eager to know what this one has to offer. It's said to be a self-expression of the author and talks about togetherness in peace. Interesting!

I guess the beauty lies in how each person interpret poems, and to each person there might be a different meaning/message. I do wonder if we ever hit the target on understanding what the author really wanted to say or felt whilst writing it? And that's why I don't enjoy poems as I feel our opinions does not appreciated the author's art work enough. Thanks for a great review.
