When my first book Arise Arjun': Awaken my Hindu Nation was published in 2003, some reader-admirers asked me as to what brought me into this field (i.e., writing on matters of national and social importance that have been vastly ignored) leaving behind my career and life style in corporate environment.
The same question was asked to me again by those who had not read Arise Arjun' but came in contact with my next major publication in 2004 titled as Christianity in a different Light: face behind the Mask that became eye-opener to many. In those days, there was little awareness among Hindoos about hidden face of Christianity. Therefore, it was more of a shocker to many and a major relief to those who knew about it but had no access to well documented work of this kind.
All those people who asked me such questions did get some or other answer from me but all that happened to be only proverbial tip of the iceberg. For, I believed, that 'Time' hadn't yet come to reveal all; though it had been pre-documented even before the work on Arise Arjun' began.
It was published in print more than 7 years later when I decided to stop writing in English any more, so that I could resume work in Hindi which would be needed for mass mobilization at a later date.
If I were to summarize what brought me into this field...
It were the Spiritual attainments those formed the foundation of my current
activities
Education and Work experience that I bid goodbye to, at a point of time, when I could have continued
for another 17 years of gainful employment before normal retirement date in Canada
Intense spiritual experience that I went through, for about 3 years in Canada, before bidding
goodbye to Canada with no intention to return
A budding resolve to establish the edifice
of a Hindoo Raashtr' sometime by 2030

Shri Naaraayan' Sharanam श्री नारायण शरणम्
Years ago, I had lived in a totally different world, beyond the ambit of
Maya, visiting occasionally in and out of it
That is when I was prompted to document the events of my life relating to that period
Had it not been done then, may be it would have never been done later
For, it would have been extremely difficult for me to live through those experiences again that
were soon going to be a matter of Past
I, however, did not know this
They were close to my heart but I never felt sharing them with any one.
He, however, knew that
He, who held my hand and, took me through this journey
I know that now
But I did not know this, then.
Once it was done, He gradually brought me back to the awareness of this world
The world that is full of deception
The world that is full of hatred
The world that is full of conspiracies.
I hated my return
Return from a world full of faith and dedication
Return from a world full of love and compassion
Return from a world full of loyalty and integrity.
I did not know why I was being forced to return
He, however, knew that
He had a job for me to do
But I had no inkling of that.
No task can be completed without being equipped for it
And I was certainly not in that state
I had to be brought face to face with crude realities
I had to be equipped with a vision to look beyond the smoke screen
I had to be armed with ammunitions for battle with the evil.
He equipped me with resources that I would need later
But nothing came in at once
For I needed to develop the ability to acquire and retain all that.
He trained me slowly and patiently
I was a willing learner.
He changed my outlook
He changed my understanding of the world
He taught me to look at the world as it is
Plain, black and white.
He entrusted me with the vision that would penetrate the smoke screen
A vision that would touch upon the bigger Truth that envelopes this world of Maya.
What follows is the story of an extraordinary journey through bliss and agony...
