As a Yoga practitioner, I always have questions in my mind- Who am I? What is consciousness? What is the purpose of my life? How does Karma work? The author, Sujata Khanna, has explained all these concepts in a very simple manner.

I always felt the Bhagavad Gita was very difficult to understand. Also, I was confused about the concept of God, or Ishvara, in Hindu Dharma, and also why the rituals. In Hinduism there are so many scriptures like Veda, Upanishad and Purana. There are also many spiritual practices. Truly speaking, it is all very confusing. But when I recently read the book ‘ The Eternal Law’, I understood the fundamental philosophy of Sanatana Dharma clearly.

The book is interesting and logically structured. Every chapter is important, but I think Chapter 3, the concept of Brahman, is the most important, because it is very difficult to grasp. The author has decoded the ‘Sat-Chit-Ananda’ nature of Brahman very well. At the end of this chapter she concludes with some simple lines, “Brahman is The Ultimate reality,” ” Brahman is beginningless and endless, The Eternal”, and so on. If one understands Brahman, one understands Sanatana Dharma philosophy.

Chapter 12 discusses Moksha, or liberation from cycle of birth, death, and rebirth. Moksha is the ultimate goal of any being, according to Hinduism. Before reading this book, I was always afraid of the birth and death cycle. But in this book, I got a very clear meaning of Moksha and it’s nature. Sujata Khanna says, “Moksha is state of Paripurna-Brahma- Anubhav, or oneness with Brahman,” and that reduces the fear.

This book becomes chronologically intense and more interesting as it progresses. I highly recommend this book to every person whose faith lies in Sanatana Dharma. Thank you Sujataji for such a wonderful book. I feel so much gratitude towards you.

‘The Eternal Law’ is an excellent book covering all philosophy of existence in Sanatana Dharma. It is written in a precise, concise, and lucid manner.

It is intellectually appealing as it gives logical hypotheses for all postulates and allows you to think for yourself. Also, it explains the philosophy matter-of-factly and objectively, never at any point of time preaching anything.

I would certainly recommend this book to all who are interested in reading metaphysical material.

‘The Eternal Law’ is a very captivating book. The author has contextualised the book very well. The author’s deep research is evident, as the book depicts philosophical dimensions that fit in the intellectual landscape and written in the manner in which the reader can easily comprehend. The ten line poem after the introduction grabs a reader’s attention.

The 11th Chapter, ‘Darshana’ and 12th chapter ‘Moksha’ catch the reader’s attention. Flow charts and diagrams make the book more attractive and offers insights into the topic. The summary at the end of each chapter gives the gist in a very crisp form.

Highly commendable work as the author’s perfection in writing in the IAST format with dots and bars is evident- for example ‘ahaṅkāra’, ‘mōkṣa’ and many more. To help understand pronunciation, there is a guide and list of terms at the end of the book. One can’t even imagine the depth of the author’s study and efforts put in!

It’s a highly recommended book for understanding the essence of life.

The book, ‘The Eternal Law’, is an introduction to the unfamiliar terminology used in Advait philosophy. This has been well explained and this is the foundation on which our journey towards understanding Advait Vedanta can be based. We have heard these words but do not know what they mean, and the author has very painstakingly explained the concepts. The author has imparted knowledge of Vedanta to those who are seeking it.

We have heard the famous shloka from the Isha Upanishad:
ॐ पूर्णमदः पूर्णमिदं पूर्णात्पूर्णमुदच्यते । पूर्णस्य पूर्णमादाय पूर्णमेवावशिष्यते ॥

Meaning:
“That (Divine Knowledge) is Purna (full with Divine Consciousness);
This (Universal Knowledge) is also Purna (full with Divine Consciousness);
From that Purna is manifested this Purna (from Divine Consciousness the universe is manifested);
Taking Purna from Purna, Purna indeed remains.”

The author, Sujata Khanna, has painstakingly explained the above, imparting knowledge to us through this book. So, when the author imparts her knowledge from the knowledge, knowledge still remains!

We seekers need to understand what the Divine Consciousness, Brahman is. The book, ‘The Eternal Law’ explains concepts like Sat- Chit- Ananda, Guru-Tattva, Worship, and so on. Each chapter is a gem of wisdom, seamlessly blending ancient teachings of Sanatana Dharma with modern times. This book serves as a light for those seeking deeper meaning in life, offering practical guidance on cultivating inner peace and spiritual growth.

A must-read for anyone on the path to enlightenment!

The Eternal Law by Sujata Khanna offers a clear and accessible introduction to the foundations of Sanatana Dharma. Drawing from ancient Indian philosophy, the book guides readers through essential questions about human existence, the nature of death, and the pursuit of happiness. It presents a concise overview of the Astika and Nastika schools of thought, highlighting their differing views on the authority of the Vedas. Central to the text is an explanation of Brahman, the Supreme Divine Principle; Atman, the divine spirit within; and Purushartha, the four aims of life—Dharma, Artha, Kama, and Moksha.

Khanna emphasizes how modern education overlooks these philosophical insights, despite their value in understanding consciousness and purpose. The book interprets the nature of Brahman as Sat, Cit, and Ananda, and explains the relationship between Prakriti (nature), Purusha (spirit), and the emergence of the Jiva, the living being. The five sheaths (koshas) and the three bodies—gross, subtle, and causal—are described to illuminate the soul’s journey between birth and death.

Readers are introduced to the Trigunas—Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas—and their influence on all existence. The text explores rebirth, samskara, and the rare opportunity of human life to achieve self-realization and liberation (Moksha). It also outlines the six major Astika philosophies, the four yogic paths, the Ashrama system, and the essential role of the Guru in spiritual progress.

Structured in 18 chapters, the book provides summaries for clarity. The Eternal Law ultimately offers a thoughtful, comprehensive guide to the philosophical essence of Sanatana Dharma.

I wish all the success in the worldwide popularity of the book.
