Over the years, I have often been asked what sustains hope in the face of persistent injustice, violence, and suffering. Through every success and failure in my journey, Compassion has been my driving force.
Karuna - the power of Compassion, challenges the centuries-old narrative of Compassion as a soft emotion. It redefines Compassion as a dynamic, disruptive and transformative force that can solve the most complex problems we are facing.
At this moment in history, Compassion is not a choice anymore. It is a necessity. This book is an invitation for readers to awaken their Karuna, move beyond indifference, to become problem solvers.
The book will be launched at the Jaipur Literature Festival on 17 January.
