About the Author:

Hira Ballabh Joshi is a distinguished member of the Indian Civil Service and a trained sociologist. A significant figure in Sanatan Hindu Dharma, his books on Hindu Dharma, especially those on the Garuda Purana, have gained wide popularity. The many scriptural references in his works reflect his profound understanding of the subject. He seeks to clarify perspectives on key concepts of Hindu philosophy, such as Dharma, Atma (soul), Karma, Moksha (liberation), the cyclical nature of change, and the divine.

Socially active, Joshi is the founder of the Hindu Purohit Sangh, which strives to create a reformed, accessible, and inclusive priesthood. He views the Purohit structure as akin to the nervous system of Hindu Dharma. In addition, he serves as the president of the Shri Varahi Shaktipeeth Trust, dedicating his efforts to spreading Dharma, preserving heritage, and supporting charitable causes. Joshi has also held key positions, including Director of Finance and Managing Director of a major public sector enterprise of the Government of India.

Sanatan dharm future of civilization

Detailed quotes from scriptures like gems strung in a rosary. The book is encyclopedic in nature and describes Hindu, Jain and Buddhist Sanatan Dharma in an institutional sense. The book sets the foundation and direction for those who want to study further. It is a must read for beginners and knowledgeable people. I may not agree with some conclusions, but the book provides a holistic view in a brilliant manner. My salute to the hard work of the author, despite being so busy, he has tied Hindu, Jain and Buddhist religions in one thread by studying its nuances so deeply for the propagation of Sanatan Dharma, it will definitely guide the coming generation.
