Celebrating Culture and Philosophy: Amish Tripathi Meets Dr. S. Jaishankar
Famous author Amish Tripathi recently had the honor of meeting India’s External Affairs Minister, Dr. S. Jaishankar. During their meeting, Amish gifted Dr. Jaishankar the Hindi edition of his latest book, मूर्ति पूजा, which he co-authored with his sister Bhavna Roy. This book is a companion to their previous bestseller, Dharma.
The conversation between Amish and Dr. Jaishankar covered a wide range of interesting topics, including the impact of AI on humanity and the timeless relevance of great fiction from the 1960s. This meeting showed Amish’s commitment to connecting culture and intellectual ideas, reinforcing his position as a key voice in modern Indian literature.
The Essence of मूर्ति पूजा
मूर्ति पूजा explores the deep meaning of idol worship—a practice that has continued despite centuries of criticism and misunderstanding. Through an engaging and thoughtful approach, Amish and Bhavna explain the importance of Ishta Devata (personal gods) and the spiritual significance of bhakti (devotion).
The book asks important questions like:
- Why do people worship idols?
- Why does this practice continue despite opposition?
- Can idol worship lead us to peace, prosperity, and a better understanding of life?
Using stories and religious teachings, Amish and Bhavna share insights that help readers understand the broader philosophy behind idol worship. Their explanations show how idol worship can bring about change, acceptance, and love, helping people experience the Oneness of God.
