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.

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; with Multinational & Indian owners. Post Nationalisation he served in different subsidiaries of Coal India Limited, a Govt. of India undertaking (Maharatna). 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; by this time, he became a walking talking database on coal mining in India. He is survived by his wife; they live in Ranchi. His elder daughter resides in the US and his son 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. Post his marriage in 1962; his passion of reading, writing and owning books, periodicals and magazines did not get affected. In last fifty years, he has been writing and reading a lot on various subjects. His articles started getting published as well. He did deep research on scriptures; especially Vedas, Bhagwad Gita and the Samhitas, Brahmanas, Upanishads, Brahmasutras and literatures on various movements. Sir’s Library! Turned out to be the core and due to a life-threatening event and his knowledge of Sanskrit, Hindi & English (diacritical script) made it all happen and come together in his first book now at his age, 87 years.
