ONE-ON-ONE EXCLUSIVE By: Calvin Garcia I had the honor and the opportunity to chat with Raju Ramanathan, worldrenowned enlightenment guru and author of Souls from Mercury, to learn more about his book and his message, discover what inspired him to write, and hear what advice he has for aspiring authors. About Raju Ramanathan Raju, popularly referred to as Datta Yogi Raja, is one of the most sought-after life coaches of high profiled individuals, as well as a distinguished improvement champion for major corporations. He is a brilliant scientist of both inner and outer worlds who has been teaching meditation and mediation since he was thirteen. His techniques took the numerous countries by storm, where the diverse cultural backgrounds haven’t hindered to enlighten even modern communities through his spiritual messages. A truly life transforming experience and unique in its ways, his teachings have gained popularity from yoga to medical practices which asked for guesting opportunities on several TV and radio programs in Canada. He has successfully bridged the two debatable realms of science and religion. “I chose Mercury as the golden mean between Mars and Venus because it symbolizes wisdom in the astrological tradition. . .He represents wit, wisdom, and agility. Astrologically, he rules over the solar plexus and the nervous system. Those who are born under the influence of Mercury are highly intelligent and ingenious.” –Raju Ramanathan Read our Exclusive Interview with Author Raju Ramanathan: Calvin: Have you always known that you would become a writer? Have you always wanted to be one? How did you get into writing? What or who inspired you? Raju: I have always wanted to be a writer. When I was just 10 years old, I wrote a huge book of comics with stories written by me and distributed to all my classmates at school. My cousin helped me to draw the pictures. But my preoccupation with Technical education and working at very responsible corporate positions never allowed me the luxury of leisure time to do so. In the last four years my son and daughter in law inspired me to put all my seminars given around the world to be put into a book form for being read by all of their friends. They supplied me with the photographs which they had taken during their global travels. They have been my inspiration. My spiritual Masters gave me further impetus. Do you still remember the first book you loved reading or the one that made the greatest impact on your life? Tell us about it and why do you love it? AUTHORS PRESS authorial magazine | 22 I remember the first books at age eleven which were intentionally put by my uncles at my bed side.. They were, The Bhagwat Gita, the scripture of the Hindus and The Holy Bible, the scripture of the Christians. As I started reading them side by side, I saw a striking similarity between them. When I had difficult moments in my life I will simply open one of the books and Lo and behold, the answer to my issue at
hand was right there. That is why I loved both the book. In fact I memorized many sections of both and shared with friends at school. My book Souls from Mercury actually emerged on those days which is half a century before. The amount of quotations from both the scriptures can be seen all over my book now being published in <strong>2019</strong>, Tell us about your book. Why should people read it? Do you think that it will make a difference in their lives and in what way? My book is about a new dawn and a new hope for mankind even though it is entitled differently. It describes a pathway for mankind like the Celestine Prophecy. I call it as evolution through an inward revolution in every person. The system recommended is through “Chakra purification” which is very much what is recommended by other authors such as Carolyn Myss in the field of the emerging “Energy Medicine”. People of all ages should read my work because they will find answers to so many nagging questions in their minds that they were afraid of asking their parents or even their priests. I am positive that this could transform their relationship with themselves, with the family, and eventually the relationship with a personal God. Tell us something about you that only a few people know. Why is this not known so much? Only a few people know that I am a unique combination of a Scientist, a Mystic and an artist. In the past the scientific community only saw my technical ability to innovate, The spiritual community saw me as a great Yogi and a Master of meditation and my family saw the great inters I have in in Poetry and music. This combination is not known so much because I kept this as a secret and wanted it to be discovered by others. They finally did! My grandchildren address me as “Master Bubloo”, a favorite nickname of their own. This unique combination is what I describe as a SOUL FROM MERCURY. I see this potential in everyone if only they attempt to purify their Chakras. In your perspective what makes a successful author? A successful author should feel like Isaac Newton who said that I am nothing and I am standing on the shoulders of other scientists before my time and looked ahead. A successful author is not there to impose his or her own opinions to be infused into other minds. Recently I read this amazing sentence while reading the Publication Manual of the American Psychological <strong>Magazine</strong>. Section 1.03 of this text reads “The authorship encompasses not only those who do the actual writing but also those who have made substantial scientific contributions to the study. It makes reference to further literature to substantiate this idea. What is the most challenging part of your writing journey? How did you go about it? The most challenging part of my writing journey was to fulfil the requirement of most well-known publishers. They said: “Give us a final product that we can get printed.” In other words they wanted me to produce a manuscript that has already gone through all editorial assessment and grammatical corrections, computer alignment and all the rest. They were unwilling to help me with any of these tasks. One fine morning, I was finally approached by Authors Press who gave me all the help I need and coached me all the way in these tasks. I am so very grateful to all the great men and women in their teams. My book has finally seen the light of the day! What advice would you give you to aspiring authors? Here is a poem that I heard in my childhood. It goes like this. “Work while you work, play while you play, that is the way to be happy and gay. All that you do, do it with your might, things done by halves are never done right.” Here is another one from famous poet HW Longfellow: “The heights by great men reached and kept were not attained by sudden flight. They, while their companions slept, were toiling upwards in the night.” Give us one word that best describes you as an author Here it is! A MYSTIC. Life is a mystery to be lived.
