Whether rich or poor, spiritual or materialistic, believer or atheist, educated or uneducated-every human being seeks one thing: happiness. Yet, what happiness means differs from person to person. We spend our entire lives chasing it, often in desperation. But ironically, despite all efforts, happiness seems to slip through our fingers. Instead of fulfillment, most people are weighed down by worries, disappointments, failures, and disease.
Even those who lead good, virtuous lives are not exempt from suffering. Why is this so? Why do children born to the same parents-with the same environment-end up so different in intellect, fortune, and ability? Why does peace remain elusive, and insecurity grow even in a world overflowing with knowledge and religion? These are questions that have haunted humanity for ages. Countless saints, prophets, and teachers have tried to guide us, yet the desired transformation has not occurred. What is the cause of this disparity in human experience? Can it be corrected? If so, how, and by whom?
To these eternal questions, Navajyothi Sri Karunakara Guru, the revered Founder of Santhigiri Ashram, offers clear, satisfying answers-answers that resonate not only intellectually but through direct self-experience. According to Guru, humanity stands at the threshold of a great spiritual correction. He is the soul foretold in prophecies across the world-from the Buddha, Jesus Christ, and Sri Narayana Guru to Aurobindo and even Nostradamus.

From a very young age, I was drawn to questions about God, creation, and the mysteries of life and death. I immersed myself in scriptures like the Upanishads, the Bhagavad Gita, and Vedanta. While these texts offered explanations, they did not provide the experience I longed for.
At the age of seventeen or eighteen, I had a profound spiritual encounter. It was twilight, and I sat alone in a quiet place, gazing at the starry sky shimmering with an unusual, divine energy. In that moment, I experienced something indescribable?an inner awakening that filled me with transcendental joy. Though it lasted only a few minutes, it made the material achievements and pleasures of life seem insignificant. I yearned for that experience again and again. My heart was set on pursuing a spiritual life, and the desire to leave everything behind and seek deeper truths grew stronger.
Eventually, this longing led me to Varanasi, known as the spiritual heart of India. Upon arriving, I searched for a guru to guide me, but none matched the image I had in my mind. Disillusioned, I moved to Bengaluru, where I continued my search but began to lose hope. Then, in 1994, something changed. A messenger came to me, telling me about an ashram in Thiruvananthapuram and a Guru named Karunakara Guru, someone I had never heard of before.
It took me thirty-two years to fully realize that Karunakara Guru is none other than the embodiment of Supreme Truth. The Guru opened my inner vision, revealing truths I had never imagined. The years between 1994 and May 6, 1999?when Guru left his physical body?were the most precious of my life. The book "The Battle for Bharat" is based on the revelations of my Guru, Navajyoti Sri Karunakara Guru.
