As the subtitle of this book says, “why” is one of the most important questions we ask of ourselves.  Why is there war?  Why do children die?  Why are there terrorists?  And, because of our own beliefs or the core beliefs passed down for generations, we sometimes struggle to find the answer.

Mandeep Khera, in “Why?,” gently encourages us to look within to discover the answers ourselves. Throughout his book, Khera explains many fundamental concepts that often prevent us from going to higher levels of consciousness because of our own mis-understandings.

Through explanations, history, dialog, stories, and charts, Khera explains the beliefs within major religions and the roles they play in society, Destiny, Karma, God, as well as how to communicate with the Divine.  He also delves into reincarnation, life beyond earth, and the parallel universe.  In the end, Khera gives us “Thirteen Steps to a Contented Life.” However, as Khera explains, and I agree with him, we cannot live a contented life unless we fully understand “why” incidents occur and “why” we handle them the way we do.

“Why?” by Mandeep Khera is an important book for those that are struggling with a religion, for those that have the perpetual question of “why?” and for those that want more to life than they have now.  Khera’s explanations are very easy to understand and apply to one’s own life. Timely, and well written, “Why?” is one of those books you will refer to when you start doubting yourself, or your beliefs.
