 Abundant Mantras May by Dr GEETHA KARIAPPA | Book Review

You are encouraged to rediscover the extraordinary in the ordinary by this compilation of 31 mindful mantras. They call forth your inner wealth of emotional fortitude, tranquillity, and calm.

This book serves as a guide through development, silence, and uncertainty by drawing on rainy Coorg afternoons, gentle reflections, and straightforward practices. Every page encourages you to take a deep breath, to appreciate the here and now, and to see emotional abundance, beauty, and resiliency in the everyday.

A few verses from the book that piqued me:

🌸 "I spoke out about my fears, onto paper, word by word, tear by tear. I sipped herbal tea, steam curling like a prayer, and discovered, in these tiny rituals, my constant companions. Not loud. Not dramatic. But mine."

Usually, we speak about my fears on paper or word by word and finish up tearing all emotions. The sipping of tea is like a companion who hears us loud and firm. This longevity relieves the pain inside us.

🌸 "The sun rises. No demand, no applause. No bargains. No need for thanks. It is a golden offering of warmth, of life, of silent, steady grace." 

The sun rises daily with no demands and no bargains. It is simply a golden offering of warmth, love and grace. Like the Sun, all humans should spread positivity and happiness throughout.

🌸 "Life does not walk upright; it bends, dances, sways, trips over roots we don’t see, and takes shapes we don’t suppose. The unimaginable waits in unlikely places, in open spaces, where we may not venture to enter."

Life is a mixture of ups and downs, joys and sorrows. It takes twists and turns and unexpected shocks. It is always unimaginable that it opens up where it feels hard to venture out.

🌸 "The simplest things conceal the most sacred knowledge. A grain of sand, so small, so easily overlooked, holds the story of earth, time, and tide. A wildflower, blooming without permission or praise, carries the essence of heaven in its petals." 

Knowledge is to be sought even from the minute grains of sand. We need to learn from Earth and blossom like a wildflower.

The author has meticulously blended the harmony of nature and life’s harsh realities in a modest way. Her unique way of reflecting on things and facts is praiseworthy. The pictures are extremely palpable.

I enjoyed the subtle manner of jotting things for guiding through the darkness of life. The reflections shared on each day are splendid in nature.

Overall, it is a light and refreshing read. I enjoyed reading this book and would recommend this book to all.
