Preface - Vangamaya

The Complete Work of Pandit Shriram Sharma Acharya – Key to the Art of Living

The life of Pandit Shriram Sharma Acharya reflects the nitid glow of divinity indwelling in the eternal origin of spirituality. His personality was a harmonious conjugation of a devoted saint, spiritual scientist, yogi, eminent scholar and visionary. His contributions in the freedom movement of India and in social reformation from the religious platform stand as the monuments of dedication to truth, love and justice.
His enlightened wisdom and spirituality had a reach into the deepest depth of human mind. He had felt the pains of humanity through heart. He could therefore identify the root cause of the ailing state of the world today as –– the crisis of faith, people’s ignorance of the powers of the inner self, and the lack of righteous attitude.
Realizing the potential of literature and its relevance in the present era of intellectual evolution, he had chosen writing as the principal mode towards uprooting the malice and illusions of human mind and simultaneously arousing its pure intellect, hidden strength and spiritual radiance. His distinct qualities as eloquent writer and inspiring orator had helped natural expansion of his noble mission –– of ethical, intellectual and social reformation and elevation –– with viable impact.
Pandit Shriram Sharma Acharya wrote a record number of over 2700 books in Hindi on almost all aspects of human life. This covered wide-ranging topics pertaining to –– in-depth analysis of Spirituality, Psychology and Religion in scientific light; Yoga, as an Art of Living; Foundational Elements of Indian Culture; Science and Philosophy of Gayatri and Yagya; the Science of Tantra and Mantra; Evolution of vital energy; Activation of extrasensory power centres in the endocrine system; Unconscious and Superconscious domains of Mind; Total Psychology; Power of Intrinsic Faith and Sentiments…; Science of Entertainment; Total Health, Bioelectricity and Biomagnetism, Ancient and Modern Sciences of Alternate Medicine; Education and Initiation of True Knowledge; Absolute Education in the Laboratory of Life; Personality Development and Refinement of Talents; Self-reliant education; Viable Economics linked with Welfare and Progress; Agriculture and Non conventional sources of energy; Reinvestigation of scriptures with modern perspectives; Ancient sciences of Astrology and Astronomy; Moral, Cultural and Social revolutions; Ascent of Women in the 21st Century; Origin and expansion of divine culture for new world order; Future of the world in the next millennium and beyond; ……,etc.
Erudite reviewers state that the perception, conception and realisation of different dimensions of Science, Philosophy, Religion and Spirituality are expressed most vividly in Gurudev Shriram Sharma’s literature. The depth and expansion of his knowledge seem to have a natural coherence with every impulse of human mind and the subliminal cores of sentiments charged with divine force.….
The book “Key to the Art of Living” is an attempt to present a brief introduction to his monumental works published in “Pandit Shriram Sharma Acharya Vangmaya” series of 108 volumes. Out of the 108 volumes, 70 volumes are available here in Hindi language. The remaining 38 volumes are still in press. Although it is difficult to preserve the intimacy and lucidity of the original in the translations, it is hoped that the glimpses of the Vangmaya volumes given in this book would guide the minds and hearts of the readers to what they were looking for in their quest and desire for completeness.
