I am a strong believer of Advaita Vedanta . I don't agree to thefamous quote " Every one who did'nt know what to do did philosophy". I certainly believe that to have a consistent long goal is must for a good and harmonious life. Philosophy of any sort provides us with some yardstics to decide what direction one should pursue so that we may take the right decision.

My favourite book ( of all I have read till now ) is " The conquest of happiness" by Bertrand Russell. My favourite authors are - J. Krishnamurthi, P. yogananda , B. Russell, Vivekananda and Raman maharshi.
