Awesome!
Very concisely written. Few lines-"Indulgence turns the pleasure from these simple acts into pain. Everything done in limit will never cause any harm... MAN IS THE ONLY SPECIES that suffers from the evil of indulgence. Animals are free from this tendency due to their limited mental faculties"....."Due to mind's close association with senses, which in turn are tightly knitted with the world, when intellect gets closer to the mind, it inevitably gets engrossed in the sensory currents and loses the ability to discriminate. Eventually, the intellect surrenders to the mind, becoming a silent spectator to its wizardry."Many such Pearls are available... thank you for narrating it in such a conversational style.When will it be available on kindle?

Will take you to a spiritual ride!
It's a wonderfully written book, fictional yet factual and experiential! If you are looking for a start, a master, a guide to find you a path towards your inner self. There is nothing more relational than how the author scientifically explained the way to happiness, an ultimate destination where every living being sees themselves.I felt ending of the book should not happen, I would like to hear more on the journey of the character after meeting his spiritual master.Great book!

Heartful reading. solved many mysteries and built clarity...thank you Deepakji
One of a kind book which deals with the core principles of existence vividly and in simple contemporary terms. Like a scientist, the book dealt the principles of our existence, consciousness, mind, intellect in such simplified and most logical way as never done before. This was a blessing for me to read. I would suggest everyone to read it and I am sure you will love to gift it too to your deal ones.

Simple and humble expression of spiritual science
The discussion in book is this really good. How nicely steered the discussion from chitti to higher-self. I liked the openness with which Jina accepted scientific views and merged them with his understanding yoga resulting in new possibility. In a science and spirituality are not separate. One research on physical object while explores the inner being. Tool for both research is the human mind. This is a must read for every individual with scientific bent of mind.

Refreshing take on spirituality
Urban Buddha beautifully presents two seemingly contradictory aspects of life- The material and the spiritual. It passionately argues for both perspectives and presents some really convincing arguments. The volley of arguments among the characters creates excitement and keeps the readers hooked because its so relatable..The chapters are arranged in a way which makes it easy to follow the conversation, though I think the names of the chapter at the top would have added more to the charm.Certainly deserves a place at the bedside!Recommend this book for everyone who are constantly in conflict between science and spirituality and the head and heart.

The Bubble of Consciousness, Simply Wow !
What is consciousness, how is it connected with the Intellect, Mind and Ego has always fascinated me. I have gone through some Vedic and Buddhist literature on this matter but I didn't quite get it and then I happen to pick up Urban Buddha on a friend's recommendation. I must say that 'Bubble of Consciousness' is the simplest and most convincing explanation of Consciousness I have come across. It did take me a couple of reads, but I think author has done a good job!

Enlightment served in an urban platter
What a wonderful book❤️❤️. I was skeptical in the beginning but the narrative of this book is spell binding. Author has done a great job in delivering some eye opening lessons through a modern more relatable story line. I loved Jina’s character though the name reminds me of Jinnah😂😂. Great job and looking forward to get few more fresh servings from this creative mind.Cheers!!
