India is known as the Melting Pot for World Religions, but this assumed a whole new meaning when in our Batch of less than 100 students at IRMA, Anand, Gujarat (Institute of Rural Management, founded by Dr. Verghese Kurien, World Food Prize and Ramon Magsaysay Awardee and the Father of the White Revolution), I encountered batch mates who represents every major religion in the world based on their birth in that very faith, including the contributor of Judaism, born of a Jewish mother (traditional Judaism uses matrilineal descent to determine Jewish status). Hence was born, ‘Project Revelation’- where we decided to seek out answers to the greatest questions of life as answered by Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Jainism, Judaism and Sikhism, where each of us would try to let our respective scriptures talk for itself. The questions were: 1. Who am I 2. Where did I come from 3. Where am I going 4. What is the purpose of (My) life 5. Is there a God, who is God? Each of these questions was answered by the religions one after the other (in alphabetical order). Scriptural reference was given wherever possible to ensure validity and we tried to limit ourselves to the literal interpretation of the scriptures to the extent possible. The contributors are as follows: · On Buddhism: Stanzin Tsephal & Dipankar k (the Buddist monk) · On Christianity: Aju John Varghese (contributor & Editor of the project) · On Hinduism: Bhagirath Iyer · On Islam: Mohammad Shadique Rajjaque · On Jainism: Nitin Jain · On Judaism: Mathew V · On Sikhism: Gaganpreet Singh Kalra We are all on a journey, a journey to illumination, illumination of our souls and our beings as a whole. This endeavour was termed ‘Project Revelation’ and it seeks to reveal truths that might take you closer to Illumination of your being and to give you a perspective of these major religious thoughts of the world. May this resource act as a guiding post in your quest for meaning in this life and of the divine, with this hope and prayer I submit to you this digital replica of the printed book published by me in April 2003 at IRMA with the help of fellow IRMAns who are named above as contributors. Though this content is being made available in digital format ten years after it was published in book format, the contents have been preserved as such to preserve the integrity of the original work.

About the Author:
I have an active interest in anything that is interesting to me-that would include Spirituality, World Religions in 1 spectrum and in the opposite spectrum- Management and the arts and science of making money! So in a way you can see the diversity that is self-existent in me, which can be perceived as contradictory, but not so! Hence you would find works such as this of the first category and more on the 2nd category at www.mysmartmba.com - which is more on Management, essentially the business I do for a living. Management is about optimization and that fascinates me, also it is a tool to elevate a person from a present level to a higher level in his/her career; whereas Spirituality raises a person, from their present planes to a much higher level- Since humans are capable of going higher, and they have a God-given ability in them to Win, in this race of life. I believe in Win-Win and in helping each other and thus help ourselves. I have had the benefit of having good mentors in Career and Life and I want to be so for someone else. I believe in the grace of God, and that you are reading this very message because of a divine purpose, just as everything else in this World I believe has a purpose. In most of what I have written above, you would find 'I' cropping up many times, which is again slightly contradictory for someone who is spiritually inclined to tend to have an obsession with the Ego- 'I' state, the same contradiction that is present in me. Hopefully I have confused you enough! It was good interacting with your mind, hopefully we will engage more personally some other time, you can reach out to me at ajujohnvarghese@gmail.com. God Bless! P.S: Any incoherence or mistakes in language/grammar if present in the above piece is intentional! P.P.S: The following statement is true. The preceding statement is false.
