Dear Readers, my latest book, “The Hilltop Temple” has been published (Sept 2025). This book is a fiction novel with an underlying aim of introducing the readers to the basic ideas in various Darshanas (Philosophies) that evolved in Ancient India over thousands of years.
In his Foreword to this book, Padma Sri Awardee Jonas Masetti (Vedanta Acharya and the ambassador of Vedanta in the Americas, heading his Gurukulam in Brazil), says the following:
Professor Rajiv K. Saxena presents us, through an engaging narrative, more than a simple fiction: he offers a profound journey through India’s philosophical traditions, culminating in a synthesis that reveals the perennial wisdom of Vedanta. I recommend this work not only to students of Indian philosophy, but to all those who face the tensions inherent in modern life: the search for meaning in a materialistic age, the need to reconcile scientific knowledge with spiritual wisdom, and the challenge of maintaining cultural integrity in a globalized world.
