Searching for Self - In Pursuit of Inner Peace
This book is an internal journey into ourselves in search of our true identity. When we try to find ourselves in either our mind, body, name, gender or any role we may play, we discover that though all of them are in us, our true identity can never be found in any of them. If we deeply realize this truth, we are able to release all our fears associated with any of our identities. This freedom enables us to come to authentic inner peace that is immune to external disturbances!

About the author
K.R.V. Hari
4 books1 followerKondya Radhakrishna Varadaraja Hari was born in 1960 in the rich culture of South India and educated in English. Being exposed to two opposing world views enabled him to achieve synergy and realize true harmony. Belonging to the linguistic community “Saurashtra” of silk weavers patronized by kings of yore, his forbears migrated from the western part of India to Tamil Nadu in the south several centuries ago.
Born to a father who served in the lower ranks of the Indian Central Government and a mother who was less educated, he was brought up by his grandmother, a very traditional woman, in the extended family. With two younger brothers, he was afforded English education from the beginning that enabled him to become fluent in the language right from his childhood. Graduating in Agriculture from the Tamil Nadu Agriculture University in Coimbatore he secured the prestigious position of Probationary Officer in State Bank of India, the premier bank in the country. After a dedicated service of over two decades, he ventured out on his own to learn about real life outside the cocoon of privileged living that his parents and his job had offered him till then.
Growing up in the country as India underwent its pangs of Westernization, he was able to synthesize the self-oriented Western perspective with the community oriented native one to arrive at a wholesome concept of self after considerable efforts and experimentation. His books are the culmination of decades of efforts in discovering his real place in this world.
Married to Vijayashree with a daughter Meenalochani, who has gifted him with a lovely granddaughter, he lives in the Southern cities of Bangalore and Coimbatore.
