Mansukh Mandaviya unveils Daaji’s book on ancient wisdom, modern healing
Union Minister Mansukh Mandaviya launched Daaji’s book Five Prescriptions from the Ashtavakra Mahagita. The work reinterprets ancient wisdom from the Ashtavakra Gita as a guide for modern leadership, inner healing and spiritual growth, blending philosophy with practical life applications.
Hyderabad: Union Minister Dr Mansukh Mandaviya unveiled the new book “Five Prescriptions from the Ashtavakra Mahagita: Ancient Wisdom for the Modern Heart,” authored by Daaji, the global guide of Heartfulness.
This event brought together policymakers, spiritual seekers, academicians, and thought leaders to explore a unique synthesis of administrative leadership and profound spiritual wisdom.
Dr Mansukh Mandaviya said, “Heartfulness is a science that helps us connect within and understand the power within. When we try to master knowledge, we reflect it in others, which is precisely how Daaji has been shining his light passed down from his Guru.”
Drawing from his background as both a contemporary spiritual master and a former pharmacist in New York City, Daaji has approached this timeless dialogue of the ancient Ashtavakra Gita as a living, practical protocol for human healing and modern leadership.
“Twenty-six centuries ago, a sage named Ashtavakra wrote a prescription for the human heart, with five medicines, taken in order, each preparing the system for the next,” writes Daaji. “This book is an attempt to fill those prescriptions.” In this new work, Daaji unpacks a singular, revolutionary verse from the ancient text in which Sage Ashtavakra answers King Janaka’s questions about attaining liberation and peace.
