Reception

Avinash Prabhakar at News Nation mentioned, "Although the ideas presented in the book are quite interesting, a part of their impact is lost due to weak presentation. The reader is made to straightaway dive into the deep waters of thought without much warning, since the book opens without an introduction on what is to follow, and what should one expect. As the reader begins to get used to the ideas from one chapter, he is taken onto another wholly new idea in the next one. While the wealth of knowledge provided is much appreciated but it seems to come out all too quickly and suddenly."

Jagran wrote about his work Sambandh "The best part about the book is that it has been written in the everyday spoken language and contains examples that are easy to understand. It is, however, difficult to keep the pace with his thoughts and writings."

Daily Pioneer published "The book is best described as an anthology of all the existential issues which an individual goes through in his lifetime. While reading the book, one feels that they are going through a journey where progressively complex questions were examined and answered through use of logic, common sense and also a bit of humor!. A better structure and rationing on the information could have helped in building a better rapport with the reader.  The first half of the book is a little more pedantic in nature while in the second-half the author launches on to a series of couplets and poems of the afore-mentioned wisdom teachers."
