Maya: I Bow to Thee, You Cannot be Overcome
by Prashant Acharya, Prashant Acharya
Maya by Acharya Prashant is a book that tells us about the concept of Maya in detail in around 352 pages. Complied with the format of a book now from the interactions and questionnaire he had with the audience earlier, and so the book follows the questionnaire format throughout the book. Divided into three parts and 35 chapters, the book talks in detail about the concept of Maya, the new age spirituality, and wisdom.
We all have heard about the word Maya and thus prejudices, interpretations, and some stereotypes always come with it when we hear this word. And so, a real understanding of the concept of Maya is important. The author has tried to present the concepts in simple words for the readers to understand easily and make them feel connected with the topics. The author has a deep knowledge of the topic and concept which reflects in the book. The quotes and lines at the start and end of each chapter are interesting and give food for thought, and imagination, and help in picking up the interest of the readers. There were many things in some chapters that I liked and some lessons conveyed through the stories were great to read which helps to understand the concepts better.
Although in some places, the information feels overloaded and repetitive, making it a slow read as well. The questionnaire format at places felt underwhelming and the need to articulate it in the form was felt so that people can understand it as a reader instead of understanding it as a listener, which is the original form of the concepts here. The book also wasn’t able to keep up my interest for long.
If you are someone who is looking forward to reading something about this concept, and able to take things useful for you out of all, you can check out the book. I would give this book 3.25 out of 5 stars.
