“This book basically has three sections,” he said, “One is how to make your brain very powerful, when you get the wisdom, you start looking at things from a very different perspective; the second section of the book tells you how to improve your environment so that it becomes sustainable and better; and the last section is on how to expand your horizon when you have the technology and your powerful brain.”
This book has been inspired by Patanjali’s Yoga sutras where it is shown that a Yogi after attaining supernatural powers can accelerate his path to liberation and everlasting happiness.
Dr Rajvanshi is also responsible for initiating the development of e-rikshaws and the national programme for biomass energy for power generation. He is a decorated academician with several national and international laurels, such as - induction in US based Solar Hall of Fame; Jamnalal Bajaj Award, Distinguished Alumnus Award from University of Florida (he is the only Indian to receive it) and recently the Distinguished Alumnus Award of IIT Kanpur.
