LIFE’S AMAZING SECRETS
Gaur Gopal Das studied electrical engineering from the College of Engineering,
Pune. After a brief stint with Hewlett Packard, he decided to live as a monk in an
ashram in downtown Mumbai. He has remained there for twenty-two years,
learning the antiquity of ancient philosophy and the modernity of contemporary
psychology, to become a life coach to thousands in the city.
Gaur Gopal Das has been travelling the world since 2005, sharing his wisdom
with corporate executives, universities and charities. In 2016, his global
popularity exploded as he took his message online. With millions of views on his
videos on social media, he has now begun to lead a movement to help others
achieve happiness and purpose in their lives. Now one of the most famous
monks in the world, Gaur Gopal Das holds the title of ‘The Ideal Young Spiritual
Guru’, conferred upon him by the Indian Student Parliament, MIT Pune.
Advance Praise for the Book
‘Keeping balance in all situations is of utmost importance as it takes you to
happiness and completeness—that’s why Gaur Gopal Das says in Life’s Amazing
Secrets, “Happiness does not come automatically.” We have to choose to live
happily, we have to choose to live with integrity and we have to choose to live
with balance. It is this balance that will make our journey through life smooth
and effective. Life’s Amazing Secrets is a refreshingly accessible guide which can
help man in conquering the daily battle and align him with his purpose in life’—
Devendra Fadnavis, chief minister of Maharashtra
‘Great work. Excellent style. Deep, profound lessons on how to live with
purpose and balance, brought out through an entertaining storyline and
interesting anecdotes. Life’s Amazing Secrets highlights the right human values
and thus can contribute to a stronger and better India’—Nitin Gadkari, Union
minister for road transport and highways
‘Transforming lives through his inspiring words of wisdom—this is what Gaur
Gopal Dasji has been doing as a leading modern-age speaker. His talks and
numerous videos as a life coach have been a positive influence on people all
over the world, of all age groups and all walks of life. It is amazing how he
connects with youngsters as well as the greatest of personalities in the same
manner. His simple and humorous talks guide us in our daily lives as he is able
to explain the most complicated situations and give simple solutions to every
problem. I’m sure that this light-hearted, conversational book called Life’s
Amazing Secrets will help one strike the right balance between work,
relationships, society and spirituality’—Hema Malini, MP, actress and classical
dancer
‘In this increasingly complex world, where placing trust in someone is a
hazardous occupation, here comes a refreshingly simple yet effective guide to
improving our lives and reducing stress. Gaur Gopal Das’s huge popularity is
due to his walking the talk—and therein lies his success. This book is the natural
result of decades of his personal and spiritual development, which, along with
his uncanny knack of understanding human behaviour and a compassionate
heart, leaves the reader feeling aware, optimistic and introspective. A must-
read!’—Hrishikesh Mafatlal, chairman, Mafatlal Group
‘I have had to the privilege of understanding the ancient epics from Gaur Gopal
Das for over a decade. [He] has a deep knowledge and understanding of various
epics, which he combines with his appreciation of contemporary issues and
examples. This is a powerful combination which explains how the learning of
these spiritual values can be lived in our lives today. And he has a great sense of
humour which allows us to remember the lessons. His teachings can be applied
to all people in all walks of life and at all stages in life’—Ajay Piramal,
chairman, Piramal Group.
