What better book to select than - "Paranormal Experiences - Beyond the Realms of Reason" by Dr. Mehra Shrikhande, a practicing ophthalmologist, based in my own city of Pune.
Before I proceed with my readers review I would like to share with you more about Dr. Mehra Shrikhande.
About the Author
Dr. Mehra Shrikhande, a practicing ophthalmologist, is based in the city of Pune. She passed M.B.B.S. in 1981 and MS in 1985 from a prestigious medical college in Mumbai. She is married to an ophthalmologist and they enjoy a happy family life with their two children. From a very early age Dr. Shrikhande was intrigued by the unexplained occurrences that she had read about from time to time. She began to grope for answers almost from childhood. This book is the result of more than 21 years of research she undertook despite the demands made on her time by her hectic profession. In her quest for answers to questions she had constantly asked herself, Dr. Shrikhande sought and interviewed several people who could provide some understanding of these mysteries.
MY READER REVIEW:
Articulate, Immaculate, Engrossing and Fascinating!
Without a doubt one of the Best Books I have had the privilege to read on this subject.
Having got to read this Author Autographed copy of the book from one of my Friends who is also a Doctor himself and a close colleague / friend of the author herself, it was a privilege for me to read it. As an author myself who has written books on the similar subjects of Clairvoyance and paranormal my own true life experience in this field, I could instantly relate to this book.
Being a Doctor herself, what caught my attention was the structure of the book, with reference to the subject of Paranormal Experiences. She sets out to list out each chapter with such precision and order, supported by relevant Medical Facts, Theories and references of experiences of others that authenticate each factor of the subject with accuracy thereby making each chapter so easy to understand and receive total acceptance.
With due respect, there will be skeptics who without understanding the subject or even having had any such personal experiences; pass off this book as just a “Good Book”, “A great Read”, or some even calling it a “Thesis”. But trust me this is one Book that I can genuinely call a "Page-Turner".
But had it not been for her profession as a Doctor herself, she would not have been able to present this topic in the way she only has done. What caught my attention and made me grip the book to be read from start to finish was the first paragraph of her "Preface". Simple, Honest, Precise and instantly connecting with me personally as an Author and reviving fond memories of my own childhood and journey as an author.
My review would not be complete without quoting her lines...albiet with full attribution and credits to this quote.....which will make you realize what the book is and why I tag it as a true "Page-Turner"
"This has been a difficult book to write. By training and temperament, I am a doctor - a practsing opthalmic surgeon - brought up with the exactitude of things we encounter and anticipate in laboratories. Certaing things beyond the realms of reason have, however, fascinated me from girhood. That I am an Indian, probably entrenched in centuries old beliefs like karma and reincarnation, is no answer to this quest of mine. They are clearly independent of my religious beliefs and sprititual background"
Those lines immediately connected with me in a way very few books have (Not the least to mention others have, indeed in a different way). The only thing that did not match with me was that I was not a Doctor (though I had aspired to be one, but could not due to inevitable circumstances), but apart from that; every word there was having a deep connect.
Let it me known that I was not contacted, asked, or required to leave a review. I have voluntarily read this book, and this is my honest review. But what transpired after reading it left me in awe.
The Meticulous way in which she deals with at lenght and writes about core subjects like Physics and Metaphysics, and some inexplicable phenomena like The Astral Plane, Out-Of-Body Experiences, Near - Death experiences, Reincarnation, Past life recall, and Extra Sensory Perception besides many more connected with Paranormal Experiences leaves you spellbound.
I will not intentionally go into the detail or the book for fear of taking away the suspense and thrill of reading this book, but can assure you that this book is one heck of a gripper.
As the description on the Book so rightly mentions that "True, mankind cannot be privvy to the riddles which leave so many questions unanswered, which in fact leads the subject of the book, it's awe and drawing power to make the reader try and find those answers"
I leave it to you to read and try to find those answers yourself and am sure that you will find yourself in a new realm of thoughts and possibilities that are constantly happening around you, and for want of knowledge or sometimes even superstitious beliefs and thoughts created by others who may be ignorant to the these phenomena tag them as occult happenings. Let us allow better sense to prevail and empower ourselves with the true facts behind each of these phenomena each of which has an authentic science behind them.
Dr. Mehra Shriknande also has one more book - "अतींद्रिय अनुभव : असणे नसणेच्या पलीकडे .. एक मागोवा, एक शोध, एक अभ्यास आणि चिंतन" which I am already reading after my tryst with this book and will be shortly presenting you with the Readers review to that book as well. This book is written by Dr. Mehra Shrikhande and translated by Mr. Niranjan Joshi and published by Rucha Prakashan. Dr. Mehra Shrikhande is a para phycologist. This book is on paranormal things around us.
