Transcendence: My Spiritual Experiences with Pramukh Swamiji by A P J Abdul Kalam
Pramukh Swamiji, one of the most inspiring spiritual leaders of modern times and the fifth spiritual successor of Bhagwan Swaminarayan, is the inheritor of a legacy of enlightened gurus that goes back to the early nineteenth century. Pramukh Swamiji became, through a chance meeting, friend to one of India's most eminent citizens, the eleventh president of India, Dr A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, and together they created an unparalleled fellowship of science and spirituality. In Transcendence, Dr Kalam, with his co-author and pupil Arun Tiwari, maps a journey of self-realization reflected in the compassionate eyes of Pramukh Swamiji, painting a delightfully open-hearted portrait of the fusion of spirituality, science and leadership. His candid vignettes from life on the centre stage of Indian technology and societal missions, Indian politics and world affairs are interwoven with revelations of a profound connection with Swamiji. He describes how his path has been illuminated by Swamiji's words and his inspirational, loving presence. Through the life of Pramukh Swamiji and the transnational work of the BAPS Swaminarayan Sanstha, Dr Kalam traces the contemporary concerns of the Indian diaspora across the world and the emerging Indian identity of a capable, right-thinking and hardworking people. Drawing from the lives of great scientists and creative leaders, Transcendence captures the essence of all religions and is as much a fountain of inspiration and a treasury of wisdom as it is a tribute to the multi-faith, pluralistic Indian society.
In the year 1955, Arun Tiwari was born in Meerut, Uttar Pradesh. He graduated from G.B. with a master's degree in mechanical engineering. In 1982, he graduated from Pant University and began working as a missile scientist at the Defence Research and Development Laboratories (DRDL) in Hyderabad. Prof. At the DRDL, Prof. Tiwari invented the first titanium air bottle in India, which was used in the Tirshul and Akash missiles.
In the year 1992, Prof. Dr. Kalam selected Tiwari as the DRDO's program head to produce civilian spin-offs of defense technologies for the benefit of the general public. In the year 1996, Prof. With the help of cardiologist Dr. B. Tiwari, Tiwari created India's first coronary stent.
Kalam-Raju Stent is Soma Raju's moniker. Arun Tiwari, a member of President Abdul Kalam's team, established the first link of Telecommunications Consultants India Ltd (TCIL)'s Pan-Africa e-Network. The network currently connects colleges and hospitals all over Africa with their equivalents in India. Wings of Fire, Dr. A.P.J.'s autobiography, was written by Arun Tiwari in 1999.
Abdul Kalam is now considered a modern classic. Arun Tiwari is an adjunct professor at the University of Hyderabad's School of Management Sciences.
