    About this ebook

    Surprised!
    We often hear about KamaSutras, but never about VishwaSutras!
    What is VishwaSutra?
    Successful living in today’s world requires following certain principles (sutras), which are universal and can be adapted by anyone. ‘VishwaSutras’, is a collection of principles for successful living. These sutras were experienced by a now a Science Diplomat, who was born as a slum-boy. In the beginning, he happened to stumble upon these sutras unknowingly which transformed his life. Later, he took conscious decision to adopt them which are helping him to climb the ladder of success.
    In our quest for successful life, positive aspirations and experiences can be self-enriching. Even a mere realization of ‘who are we and our purpose in life?’ can bring enormous sense of freedom, and unbeatable energy and enthusiasm to achieve it.
    VishwaSutras will unfold ways of achieving your dreams. VishwaSutras aims to give you support, inspiration and strategies to make your life a reflection of the authentic you. To help you define success on your own terms. To make sure you’re moving forward manifesting the big dreams and loving every minute of it. To celebrate life authentically and inspire others who dream success and happy living.

      ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

      This book is not an accident. It is a matter of choice. I made a conscious choice to share lessons that I have learnt from life with each one of you. However, this book is also the result of collaborative efforts. Several individuals have contributed to the making of this book. Some of them consciously while others do not realise that they have indeed contributed to a product like this.

      First of all, I would like to thank my publishers CreatiVentures Publishing, India, and AuthorHouse Publishing, United Kingdom who believed in my ability to come up with a book on this topic. I must also mention the unflinching support and encouragement received from Dr. Joji Valli of CreatiVentures Publishing. I appreciate the creative efforts of Ms. Bonnie Poulsen and Mr. Rajiv Karbhal, who transformed the sutras into artistic manifestations through their drawings. I appreciate the contributions of Ms. Nina Nellemann Rasmussen in her capacity as tutor, friend and philosopher. Nina went through each word critically and offered suggestions to enhance the grammatical and literary quality of the book. Thanks are due to Dr. Anil Parkhi for his editorial services.

      I must not forget to mention the guidance and support of two special persons in my life, Drs. Subramanian Krishnan and Nandakumar Dahibhate. I am grateful to my friends from my professional realm for their support, encouragement and advice at various stages of this work. I must mention the help received from Ms. Mandy Cadman, Dr. Peter Schalk, Dr. Leonard Krishtalka, Dr. Arturo Arino, Mr. Juan Bello, Dr. Olaf Banki, and Mr. Samy Gaiji. My thanks also goes to colleagues and friends such as Baban Ingole, Yogendra Sharma, Inderjeet Singh, M. Karthikeyan, G. Prabhakaran, Vinod Mathur for their support and encouragement.

      Women, or shakti as they are called according to the tantric lifestyle, have played a significant role in my life. I will remain indebted to all of them forever. Each one of them has built me bit by bit. Their love, affection and teachings have made it possible for me to be where I am now. My mother has been a lifelong inspiration for my quest to succeed. My wife Pradnya, who has not only offered me the freedom I need but has also shown unshakable confidence in my abilities and trusted me from the core of her heart. My daughter Maitri, who never ceases to surprise me with her occasional and unexpected doses of wisdom, is the reason why I continue to be on this transformational journey of quest for success.

      In addition to my mother, wife and daughter, I am blessed with the love and support of many other shaktis in my life. I would like to express a deep sense of gratitude to them. My sister, Vania Chavan, for standing by me and being a real strength to me and the rest of the family; my mother-in-law, Shahikala Salwe, for being so proud of my achievements; Ms. Majbritt Villadsen for being a source of love and strength; Ms. Visio Riviere-ung for being a fan of my writings; Ms. Angela Ostergaard for being catalytic in connecting the missing dots; Ms. Cleo Lukkarinen, my spiritual daughter, for being a constant source of encouragement.

      I thank my amazing brothers, Vivek and Vinay, my brother-in-law Prashant Salwe and his wife Ms. Swati for their support; my younger brother-in-law, Manoj, for being a friend. My spiritual sons and daughter-in-laws, Dr. Jitendra and Preetam Gaikwad, Mr. Vitthal and Vaishali Kudal, and Mr. Gurushant and Tejashri Upase, for being inspiring and hopeful about tomorrow.

      In closing, I wish to express my gratitude to my wonderful parents, Shravan and Narmada Chavan. They brought me into this world. Irrespective of the situations they were in, they infused me with rich doses of optimism, hope, determination, a spirit of rising up, honesty, truth, transparency and, most importantly, godliness

      VishwaSutras: Universal Principles for Living

      Each one of us has a story to tell; a story that is unique and different from others; a story that has its own excitement, highs and lows, lessons and messages. However, very few dare to share this story with others. I for one have always wanted to share my story because I believe that my lifescape can resonate with a few others. I believe that it has messages that can inspire if not millions then at least a few thousand individuals.

      So far my life has been a continuously transforming love affair with success. This success has been a matter of choice for me. I chose to fall in love with it, flow with it, and feel the bliss of it. My journey from a slum boy to a science diplomat at an international organization, has been an exciting one and a reason to celebrate life itself. To date, this journey of success has been a roller coaster ride of experiences, and these experiences of success. These sutras are basically responsible for the success in my life, which is why I decided to share them with you so that you can cherish them, resonate with them, and hopefully learn from them. I decided to share them because if they can shape my life, they can shape the life of anyone willing to embrace these sutras and incorporate them into his or her life.

      The reason I believe these sutras are useful for others too is because they were unfolded to me by life itself. I did not have the luxury of learning about them in a coaching class nor the belief that that is how they should be acquired. I also wasn’t fortunate enough to learn them from ‘self-help gurus.’ These success sutras were demonstrated to me by people from common walks of life. As I look at these unassuming individuals through my own privileged lenses, I realize that we tend to underestimate the potential of commoners to teach essential and universal lessons needed to shape our lives.

      It was in early 2005 that I started writing a blog called ‘Sutras for Success.’ I was determined not to share these sutras the way so many modern pop-psychology books on being ‘successful’ are doing it. I wanted to share them differently but in a simple and easy-to-grasp manner. I also did not want to limit the writings to advice on how to ‘succeed’ in a modern material world. On the contrary, I wanted to them to include advice on how to achieve purpose in life. This is the key reason why I chose to cite stories and instances that happened in reality to real-life people from all walks of life. I felt that these real-life incidents would make sense to most of us because I believe they are heartfelt and soulful.

      This book presents 50 sutras, but there are many more sutras for success that could not be listed and exemplified here. Also, it is not necessary for someone to follow all 50 sutras to be successful. A person may want to adopt as many as realistically possible to help him or her achieve a larger purpose in life with or without accompanying materialistic success.

      There are different reasons why I have chosen the sutras I have included in this book. Since the sutras have revealed themselves through real-life experiences, I have chosen to call them ‘VishwaSutra.’ Vishwa, coincidentally means ‘universe’ in Sanskrit, and since these sutras are universal in nature, I thought the name ‘VishwaSutra’ was suitable.

      I have included sutras like Blessings of Shakti, Tantric Lifestyle and Being a Rich Monk, which fall under the category of Success through Spirituality. Being universal, these sutras contribute towards our understanding of the purpose of life itself. These sutras encourage humans to strive far beyond materialistic success towards spiritual attainment or enlightenment. Many would ask how a quest for enlightenment is possible in a world obsessed with material success. I for one strongly believe that both ‘Zorba and Buddha’ or ‘Monk and Rich’ can co-exist. In fact, they are complementary and essential to each other; they are two sides of the same coin.

      It has been my attempt to demonstrate that each individual is born with the potential to succeed. It might be challenging at times but with the adoption of relevant sutras, it is and will be an exciting journey; a journey that is full of rewards and moments
