A journey of self-discoveryYou may have conquered the whole world,but if you have not mastered yourself...Do you know where you are going? And perhaps the more important question is, where do you wish to go?'Tatah kim? Tatah kim?' asked Adi Shankara, centuries ago. What then? Is making money the be-all and end-all of life?The answer to that question cannot really be found in our diary entries or our schedule of appointments! Our activities cannot indicate the answer either. It is a question that forces one to reflect on the ultimate goal one has set for oneself. In What Then, J.P. Vaswani expertly illustrates the importance of taking a step back and evaluating life. Are we living in order to die? Or are we living to exist? Or to eat, drink and be merry for we may die soon?

Where does one go from here?J.P. Vaswani was one of the leading spiritual luminaries of India.
