Rising Sun Melting Mists: Knowledge of Self dispels Ignorance

The astounding first intimation to the effect that, by the word GOD, all saints and sages of all times have implied the realizable truth of oneself, was received by the author when he was a 35 years old man-of-the-world. The realisation broke upon him with explosive wonderment and delight. How could such a inheritance be forfeited through indifference? He questioned, searched for answers, contemplated, and tried to shape his life as prompted by the ascending reality of self-enquiry. Rising Sun Melting Mists is a collection of articles written over a period of few years and later put together.

Dwaraknath Reddy was a post-graduate in Science (USA 1948) successfully promoting a personally owned food industry. Uninitiated into spiritual enquiry, he was thirty-five when questions regarding life and death, fate and free will, time and eternity, creator and cosmos became paramount. Without striving to know the right answers, life would be a wasted gift. As he listened, studied and contemplated, revelations broke upon him with explosive wonderment and delight. Life had a glorious purpose and a new focus. What he felt, pursued, questioned and understood, analysed and accepted, are the contents of this collection of articles.
