Just like a bee that gathers the sweetest of nectar from various flowers, this book of empowering thoughts, aimed towards the elevation of human consciousness, has gathered wisdom hidden in thousands of spiritual traditions in the vast garden of human thought ever since the Homo sapiens questioned the full extent of his self - awareness. For ages. the human spirit has sought the truth beyond the diktats of limited perceptions, as envisaged by various belief systems. These belief systems had their roots in the archaic, consciousness of man. Today, science, especially quantum physics, cosmology and discoveries in evolutionary biology and cognitive sciences, as well as in-depth knowledge in other fields such as Jungian psychology, interpretation through allegorical synthesis of mythology by stalwarts such as Joseph Campbell, has enabled us to construct a new level of understanding. When this knowledge is mapped on to ancient scriptures, a new understanding emerges to grasp our own spiritual nature This book , of 75 articles, is a beehive of spiritual nectar, which is characterized by its non-dual, undifferentiated attributes provided for your nourishment.

In this information age, the need for explicit meaning in scriptures and rituals is a vital ingredient that is lacking. The literal interpretations and obligatory rituals have left a void in the individual's spiritual journey and hence, the increasing disappointment in organized religions. There are 50 articles in this book whose contents aim to provide a deeper spiritual meaning that is conveyed through certain specific symbols and themes such as Agni or Fire, Cave, Cloud, twice-born, Four beasts, Dragon, Trilogy, Hero, Charioteer, Hostile brothers, Inner demon, East, Nakedness, Reincarnation, Redemption, Deluge, Sword, and Twins. These common symbols and themes, across many mythologies and the spiritual significance they convey, are brought out so that the higher nature of man and the spiritual path one has to traverse can be indicated. The very fact that man seeks a higher and more meaningful knowledge denotes that he is on a path to exploring his true nature or awake to his true self. These symbols and themes cut across all dominant spiritual traditions such as Vedic, Buddhist, Hebraic, Christian, and Islamic religions. Symbols and Themes in Sacred Texts contain the key to unlock the spiritual treasure hidden from humanity through literal and archaic cultural interpretations.

This is the second volume in the series of books published under the title 'Self Empowering Wisdom -Through Deeper Interpretations of Mythologies, Sciences and Spiritual Texts.' It contains 85 short articles on various spiritual and existential themes aimed at the elevation of human consciousness to a higher level. The purpose of this book is to collate the wisdom, which is increasingly revealing itself in our lives, as the consciousness of Homo Sapiens is being peeled open like the opening of a bud into a fragrant flower or the metamorphosis of the pupae into a lovely butterfly. This is an ongoing journey of human consciousness ascending through the wisdom of the ancients which was enclosed in mythological narrations, then through the deep insight of spiritual masters more explicitly expressed in sacred texts and now, in the present age, through scientific discoveries unravelling the cosmic dimension and the nature of our existence. The content of each article is to bring to light the interconnectivity so that the esoteric and mystical dimensions of mythologies and scriptures are made easy for grasping through current knowledge in the area of sciences, psychology and arts. I am sure that this book will be an empowering tool for all seekers as to the true purpose of our creation and the multiverse in which we live.
