The Autobiography of God - ഞാൻ വായിച്ചതു അതിന്റെ ഇംഗ്ലീഷ് ബുക്കിൽ നിന്നും മലയാളത്തിൽ വിവർത്തനം ചെയ്ത -
ദൈവത്തിന്റെ ആത്മകഥ
ആണ്.
ഇംഗ്ലീഷിൽ എഴുതിയത് - ലെനാ കുമാർ
വിവർത്തനം - പി പ്രകാശ്
ഈ അടുത്തിടെ വളരെയേറെ പ്രതീക്ഷയോടെ വാങ്ങി വായിച്ച ഒരു പുസ്തകം. അടുത്തിടെ ഈ പുസ്തകവുമായി ബന്ധപ്പെട്ട ലെനയുടെ ഒരുപാടു യുട്യൂബ് വിഡിയോകൾ കാണാൻ ഇടയായി, അങ്ങനെയാണ് ഞാൻ ഇത് വായിക്കാൻ തീരുമാനിച്ചത്. പക്ഷെ വായിച്ചു കഴിഞ്ഞപ്പോൾ പ്രതീക്ഷകൾ അപ്രത്യക്ഷമായി.
ഒരു അപൂർണമായ പുസ്തകമായി തോന്നി, ഇതിലുള്ള പല ഭാഗങ്ങൾക്കും പൂര്ണതയില്ലായിരുന്നു. ചിലയിടങ്ങളിൽ ചില കാര്യങ്ങൾ പ്രതിപാദിക്കുകയും എന്നാൽ അത് പൂര്ണമാക്കാതിരുന്നതായും തോന്നി. ചില കാര്യങ്ങൾ ചാർട്ടായും, റ്റേബിളായും കൊടുത്തിരിക്കുന്നത് കണ്ടു, എന്നാൽ ഇതെന്തിനാണെന്നോ, എങ്ങനെ അതിനെ മനസിലാക്കണമെന്നോ കൊടുത്തു കണ്ടില്ല. ഒരു പേർസണൽ ജേർണൽ അതേപടി പ്രിന്റു ചെയ്തത് പോലെ. ലേഖഖയ്ക് വായിച്ചാൽ മാത്രം മനസിലാവുന്ന പടി, അങ്ങനെയാണ് എനിക്ക് തോന്നിയത്.
ഈ പുസ്തകത്തിന്റെ ഒരു ഹൈലൈറ് ആയി ഞാൻ കേട്ടത് സാധാരണക്കാരന് മനസിലാവുന്ന ഭാഷയിൽ ആത്മീയതയെ അവതരിച്ചിട്ടുണ്ടെന്നാണ്. എന്നാൽ എനിക്ക് അങ്ങനെയൊന്നും തോന്നിയില്ലെന്നു മാത്രമല്ല, ഒരു സാധാരണക്കാരന് വായിച്ചു മനസിലാക്കാൻ അത്ര എളുപ്പമാവില്ല എന്നും തോന്നി.
റിസർച്ച് ചെയ്തു, ലളിതമായി എഴുതിയിരുന്നെങ്കിൽ കുറച്ചു കൂടെ നന്നായേനെ എന്ന് തോന്നി. എന്തയാലും ഇത്രയും പറഞ്ഞു ഞാൻ ഇതിവിടെ ചുരുക്കുന്നു.
എന്റെ റേറ്റിംഗ് - 2.6 / 5

"The Autobiography of God" by Leena is a book that promises a profound exploration of spirituality and personal transformation, but it falls short of fully delivering on that promise. While it has moments of insightful reflection, the overall execution feels inconsistent, leaving readers wanting more depth and coherence.
The concept of the book is intriguing—an introspective journey that blends elements of autobiography with spiritual musings. Leena's attempt to weave personal experiences with broader spiritual lessons is commendable. However, the narrative often feels disjointed, making it challenging to stay engaged. The transitions between personal anecdotes and philosophical discussions are sometimes abrupt, disrupting the flow of the reading experience.
Leena's writing has its strengths. There are passages that resonate with genuine emotion and thoughtful reflection. These moments provide glimpses into the potential the book had to be truly impactful. Her insights into the human condition and the quest for meaning are thought-provoking when they hit the mark. However, these moments are interspersed with sections that feel repetitive or lack the same level of clarity and impact.
Leena's dual identity as an actress and author adds an interesting layer to the narrative. Her experiences in the entertainment industry provide a unique backdrop to her spiritual journey, offering readers a glimpse into the contrasts between her public persona and private introspections. However, these insights could have been explored more deeply to enrich the overall narrative.
The central theme of finding a connection with the divine within oneself is a powerful one. Leena's personal journey of self-discovery and spiritual awakening has the potential to inspire. Yet, the book's structure and pacing undermine this potential. The narrative sometimes meanders, and certain parts feel overly drawn out, diluting the overall message.
In terms of writing style, Leena's prose is earnest and heartfelt, but it occasionally falls into a didactic tone. While this might appeal to readers looking for direct guidance, it can come across as heavy-handed. A more subtle and nuanced approach could have enhanced the book's appeal and effectiveness.
In summary, "The Autobiography of God" is a book with a noble aim but uneven execution. It offers valuable insights and moments of genuine reflection, but it struggles with consistency and coherence. It's a read that might resonate with those on a similar spiritual path, but for others, it may feel like a missed opportunity. My rating is 2.5 out of 5, reflecting the book's potential and its shortcomings.

First - Ok, so I thot this would be an interesting read based on some of the reels I saw on Instagram. Weird as some of those statements were, I was intrigued.
This book had none of it.
Second - In my earlier self, as a believer and spiritual person, this book would have been interesting read. It aligns well with many of my thoughts I held.
As a book that is meant to help the person who is a believer and looking for some answers, this book provides a nice roadmap. The first few chapters are eloquently written, in simple sentences. And so it is worth a try.

Not inspiring or helpful
Autobiography of some one searching for the ultimate truth... Couldn't feel like she has really figured out what she is searching for... feels like a confused soul has written the book , not an enlightened one.

Brilliant
One out the best books I've read in spirituality, well composed and organised in shortest possible words. Clarity of concepts explained is amazing. Moreover happy that someone around us has become enlightened and came forward to guide others, I'm sure this book will help us in the journey of self inquiry. Thank you Lenaa.

Started the book with much anticipation but the moment I realised who rhe author was, I recalled a video snippet of her where she rambled on about pretty much the same content in the book witbout really making much sense. Most of the book is repeated insights from other spiritual books and not a lot is clarified or explained simply as Leena promises at the start.

March 24, 2024I read this with lots of hope, that best precise way to know the life/consciousness and other stuff..is through meditation. but i am not sure it may achieve..

God! Always an interesting topic. Humans have always been on a quest to discover who God is. Throughout most of our history, we considered God a separate entity—one who helps us, punishes us, preserves us, and ultimately, one who created us. But now, we have begun to realise, or are on the path to realisation, that God is within us. We are God! Or rather, we are part of God.
In this book, Lenaa attempts to convey this idea to the reader. However, it may be a difficult or complex topic for some. This book is meant for those who already understand and embrace the mindset that we are God.
Lenaa discusses manifestations and shares her own experiences with them. She also references The Book of Secrets by Osho. Thanks to these insights, this book becomes a perfect read for spiritual or philosophical enthusiasts who are already on a quest to discover higher consciousness or God.

Many spiritual or similar books tend to offer similar content, but what sets them apart is whether the reader gains new insights or experiences a shift in perspective. Yes it certainly does.
