Congrats Ram! It takes immense strength in going off-beat and writing your experiences on these topics that penetrate with great difficulty.
Wishing you Vivekananda's grace that this book reaches the most needy.
When the whole world is running behind money-making, name, fame, you are going in the opposite direction! I really feel strength.

Beyond the hues and shades is a beautifully written book that is easy for anyone to understand. Reading it feels like having a heartfelt conversation with the author, making it very relatable and engaging.
The language is simple, and the examples are thoughtfully connected to real-life situations, which makes the concepts easy to grasp. I especially loved the chapters on karma—they were insightful and beautifully explained.
Chapter 7 was my absolute favorite. The way the author connects the stories from the Mahabharata with real-life experiences is truly remarkable. Those references added so much depth and meaning to the book.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and would highly recommend it. It’s definitely a must-read for anyone looking for a simple yet meaningful book that leaves you with valuable life lessons.

"Beyond the hues and shades” beautifully reminds us that life—and our minds—cannot always be understood at first glance. Sometimes we need to look beyond our perceptions, question our mind games, and discover a deeper clarity within. A thought-provoking journey toward understanding ourselves and seeing life with greater awareness. Wishing Ram Iyer great success with this meaningful work.

Beyond the hues and shades is a practical guide to deal with the ever-troubling mind.
I'm impressed with the sequence and the connection between subsequent chapters, making the reading intriguing and thought-provoking.
Vivekananda's principles, Mahabharat stories, new perspective about Karma and the role of big-four hormones, with all these elements the author shows us renewed hope that calming and handling the mind is not impossible.
