What does destiny mean in the course of our lives?
What is fixed and what can change?
How can we design our own destiny?

These are questions that some of the world’s greatest philosophers have asked since time immemorial. In this groundbreaking book, Daaji addresses such questions with simple solutions and practical wisdom. He leads us on to the next stage of the journey after The Heartfulness Way, guiding us on how to use the Heartfulness practices to refine our lifestyle and design our destiny, including our destiny in the afterlife. He elaborates on the subject of consciousness, the role of evolution, and explains what happens to us at the time of birth and death—and how we can act in those pivotal moments when life takes a turn.
Daaji inspires us to believe in ourselves and find a way forward, no matter what the challenge, and look at even the most difficult situation as an opportunity to grow. He emphasises that, with a few simple practices, a heart full of enthusiasm and an expanded consciousness, we can all discover our potential and the destiny we were born to fulfil.



COVER PAGE

 The cover page of the book is very attractive in subtle shades. It is a kind of page which calms a person. I has a very beautiful image of a flower opening in bright pink colour. A very simple cover page.



 REVIEW
I have heard about Kamlesh Patel known as ‘Daaji.’ So, when I got the opportunity to read his book I was not able to stop myself. Designing Destiny by Kamlesh Patel is a must read book. I got this book at the right moment and is a very interesting and a wonderful self help book.

Through this book, author has highlighted on the aspect of ‘Destiny’ which holds a very crucial part in our lives. And, it is believed that everything is destined, but the author has explained how one can create and change own destiny.  Through this book, he answers the major questions which are asked by many people- What does destiny mean in the course of our lives?, What is fixed and what can be changed?,  and how can we design our own destiny? For these questions, he provides us with simple solutions wherein he elaborated on the subject of consciousness, the role of evolution and even explains what happens at the time of birth.

Designing Destiny bought a lot of positivity within me when I was reading it. The book is written in a very simple manner with each and everything explained in great detail supported with various examples which made the reading experience very interesting and light. The book took me on an insightful journey, totally away from the reality making my reading experience very intense. For me, this book was for self realisation as it made me realise a lot of mistakes that I had committed. It truly changed my perspective towards life.

We all face many problems and the author has given the solution in a simple way in this book. I really liked the fact that the author has very systematically divided the book into four parts- introduction, practice, lifestyle and destiny, free will and freedom of choice.  And, the best solution to fight with any problem is Meditation as it makes our mind clear, takes us away from our past and makes us realize who we are.  So, the main focus is by practicing meditation one can achieve anything in the world.


Overall, this book is a must read. The author in a very simple way has given us a very practical solution to our problems. This book is very important in today’s time.
