This timeless mantra is as useful today as it was in times past. The commentary is modernized and simplified to relate to today's culture. The art is original and effective in making the sacred mantra easy to understand and fun to read. Statement from His Holiness Swami Bodhananda Saraswati August 2011: " This mantra from the Isavasya Upanishad captures the essence of Hindu spiritual wisdom. Purnam is the Source of all manifestations. The world emerges from Purnam, flourishes in Purnam and dissolves in Purnam. Hence it is Purnam. God, Purnam and world are nonseparate. The mantra exhorts us to live joyfully in this world with a mindset of worshipful detachment and non-coveteousness. A relevant message for the profligate modern world.""
