A significant addition to the literary world, Reflections of Ram Sewak, authored by senior IAS officer Anirudh Tewari, was unveiled at an exclusive event held at the prestigious Delhi Gymkhana Club. Published by TreeShade Books, the work dives deep into the philosophical treasures of two of India’s timeless spiritual texts—The Gita and Shri Ramcharitmanas.
The book seamlessly integrates the profound wisdom of these scriptures, pairing the shlokas of The Gita with the chaupais and dohas of Shri Ramcharitmanas to highlight their enduring relevance. It aims to inspire readers to embrace lives rooted in integrity, compassion, and purpose.
Tribute and Insights
In a heartfelt address, Anirudh Tewari dedicated the book to his late father, Shri Ram Sewak Tewari, whose values deeply influenced him. Reflecting on the book’s essence, he said,
“This book explores the philosophical confluence of The Gita and Shri Ramcharitmanas—texts that have shaped our cultural and moral identity. While Vedanta offers the framework for an ideal life, Shri Ram’s life exemplifies how to live by these ideals, embodying the concept of Maryada Purushottam—the ideal man.”
He also spoke about how the teachings of these texts have guided him in his personal and professional journey, emphasizing virtues like truth, forgiveness, and compassion.
