Synopsis

"Evolving a peaceful co-existence between people, societies and cultures. ""The idea of this book came out of an irrepressible urge, which lay dormant in the subconscious, probably since early childhood-the urge to alleviate the sufferings of people. It was etched in my mind by two fine people-achan and valiammaman (father and older uncle)...From their random dialogues I gather that: Positive detachment, by not getting into the plot, is very essential for anyone genuinely interested in finding a solution to a problem, and Ambrosia is not just for gods alone; it is available right there on earth for every human who can garner it. National security, in theory and practice, is about governing a nation for the well-being of the people. It is a group subject and is not the domain of a single expert of a kind. It is teamwork under leadership of excellence. What is important is the consistency of purpose—providing comfort to the people of a national and thereby the people of the world in their physical, mental and emotional domains as an ongoing process throughout their lives. The book will be useful to leaders and citizens."
