About the book:The book is a
culmination of V Balu’s work as a global peace
activist and lays emphasis on inner peace and the role of individuals in
global peace, the need of the day. The book begins with a peace prayer and
then talks of faith, renunciation, inner peace, mental and global peace and
global peace through art.
More details: Don’t worry, be happy is one of the chapters in this
book where he has reminded the readers that worry never solves any problem.
Worry is a self created mental condition and is the result of factors like
lack of contentment, he says and has given various examples to substantiate his words.
According
to the newspaper, The Asian Age, "In this book the color plates
showcase the art of a brilliant collage artist who has dedicated his
exceptional talent to the cause of promoting peace… The creations wrought
with bits of paper and a pair of scissors exude the stillness that draws
you into an understanding of his message. An understanding that defies verbose
intellectual interpretations. The real bonus of purchasing or gifting Sadaa Shanti to someone is
that you will meet an artist whose collages have the power to communicate
the most esoteric ideas effortlessly.
The
distinctly user-friendly approach of the publication are large and easy to
read type face and break up of chapters that is conducive to partaking of
small doses of the exalted but easy to digest thoughts, perhaps just before
bedtime".

SOPANA:
Steps to Peace
by V.Balu
No of Pages: 108
Illustrations: 38 Pages
Hard Bound Price: Rs. 50 /-
I.S.B.N: 81-7276-303-4
About the book:The author
has advocated twenty two steps to peace in this book. They include curbing
anger, thinking positive, removing ego etc. They take the reader to the
serene waters of the lake of peace. They are all well thought and do not
seem unattainable to anyone who reads them.
More details: There are several anecdotes and stories told in the
book to make the reader understand the steps to peace. There is no
preaching or moralizing, only sharing and listening. One of the interesting
stories is of a man who walked all the way to the next forest from the one
where he lived, along with a lamp, to borrow a match to light cigarette. He
did not realize that he could do so with his own kerosene lamp. People miss
the light of peace within and grope in the darkness of ignorance. Such
stories dot the book making it more interesting to read. Another story is
of a forever-angry father whose son keeps laughing when his father is
angry. When the father angrily asks him the reason for smiling, the son
replies that when he is angry he looks like an ape and brings a mirror to
show the man his face while angry.
