Raghunandan Mishra is a technocrat. He graduated from the prestigious Indian School of Mines, Dhanbad (now Indian Institute of Technology, Dhanbad) in the year 1960. He started his career in private sector coal mines of Dhanbad-Jharia (in Jharkhand, now) with Multinational & Indian owners. Post Nationalisation he served in different subsidiaries of Coal India Limited, a Govt. of India undertaking (Maharatna). He rose through the corporate ladder, and over the years he became Chairman-cum-Managing Director (CMD) of Central Mine Planning & Design Institute, Ranchi. From there on he moved to different subsidiaries. Northern Coalfields Limited, Singrauli was the next and Eastern Coalfields Limited, Asansol was his final destination as CMD. And come January 1996 he superannuated. His significant contributions to Coal Industry were many. However, his extensive work on best Coal mining practices in different geographies and its relevance to Coal India Limited made him known and gave him a lot of accolades and recognition too. He actually went inside the Coal Mines across multiple geographies. He is survived by his wife and his two children. He lives in Ranchi; Jharkhand. His elder daughter resides in the US and his son lives in Mumbai.
He has been a voracious reader since his school days. He would always utilise his pocket money to buy books and read them too. When he got married in June of 1962 he had more books, periodicals and magazines than his real personal belongings. His interests in reading led him to write. From the late 1970s onwards, he started writing for many newspapers and journals. At one point in time in his home (across all locations, wherever he was transferred) there was a special corner, section or a room that was devoted to his books, periodicals, and magazines – it was called Sir’s Library. Somewhere in early 1980s (due to a life-threatening event) he started getting into religious texts, then leading to serious reading of The Vedas, Bhagwad Gita, etc., etc. From then on, he became a bit religious and spent his spare time, hobby time devoted to reading and writing on religion and scriptures. He did deep research on Samhitas, Brahmanas, Upanishads, Brahmasutra and literatures on Bhakti Movement. Inspiration for compilation of text in diacritical English was drawn from the book “The Principal Upanishads” of Dr. S. Radhakrishnan. And he read each one of them and culminated his research and reading with the History of Dharmashashtra by P.V. Kane from Bhandarkar Research Institute in Pune. His knowledge of Sanskrit, Hindi & English (diacritical script) made it all happen and come together in his first book now. Sir’s Library still exists; however, the size has become smaller. He is only 87 years now.

The Hindu Dharma is Sanatan, eternal. That the Ultimate Reality
is expressed by the Rigvedic expression Tad ekam, That One. It is
without attributes and without form, yet is manifested in many forms

The Hindu Dharma is Sanatan, eternal. That the Ultimate Reality
is expressed by the Rigvedic expression Tad ekam, That One. It is
without attributes and without form, yet is manifested in many forms
with different attributes and names. It is all pervasive and permeates
all animate beings and inanimate matter. Only one fourth of it is the
phenomenal universe and the rest is beyond. It is Purna. Whole, and
that Purna should be realized. The Self-realization is possible with the
grace of the Ishta-devata inhered in the Gurumantra. The guru chooses
the best path of the Self-realization for his disciple, as there are many
paths. Belief in Avatarhood, Rebirth and Karma, divinity of the nature
and ritual worship is integral to the Hindu Dharma. The Rigveda Samhita
is the source book. Other Samhitas, all Brahmanas, all Aranyakas and all
Upanishads are its exegesis. The Gita is one sacred book that all Hindus
must study, being the teaching of Lord Krsna the God incarnate. The
Hindu Dharma is a way of life. The worship of the divine in any form is
the worship of Tad ekam.
The Hindu Dharma is like an ocean into which rivers and streams of
religious beliefs and practices have merged. From very ancient times
different groups of people came, settled down, developed their languages
and religious beliefs. These religious beliefs and practices did not
vanish rather all intermingled and merged into the eternal truth called
Sanatan Dharma.

To work alone you have the right, and not to the fruits. Do not be
impelled by the fruits of work, nor have attachment to inaction.
