Omens, a very debatable topic, has never been discussed or explained in detail, especially to the generation of today. There has always been an element of doubt and a big question mark regarding the truth and authenticity which backs these beliefs. This book is a humble attempt to clear all misconceptions surrounding these age-old beliefs, their role in our day-to-day lives, their connection and relativity with our Vedas and ancient texts and how they have been followed and preached not only by our ancestors but also by our Gods and Goddesses who went through the cycle of birth and death on Earth and dwelt like normal humans only to face the atrocities and realities of life and free the world from the clutches of the evil.

Omens have always helped man to determine and fight the harshness of nature and its calamities and come to terms with it. They have saved people from many a difficult situation by lightening and brightening their path, and warning them to beware of the wilder side of nature and its elements. This handy book by Dr. Puneet Chawla, is a quick guide, a pathway and an eye-opener which lights up the road towards making life simpler, easier, happier and less challenging for people belonging to every caste, creed, sex, or class of society.

When we talk about Omens, it is not restricted to favorable and unfavorable gestures alone. This book reveals the very inception behind this theory, how it holds connectivity with the different elements of nature, its link with our great epics, the Ramayana and the Mahabharata, its mention in our age-old Puranas, Manusmritis and Upanishads and also its importance in the day-to-day life of people belonging to the ancient era.

For the modern man, truth always needs to be backed by proof and scientific explanation, but people in olden times believed in ‘simple living and high thinking’. For them their social and religious constraints laid down their pattern of behavior and activity in everyday life, and Omens were an inseparable part of their livelihood which stood by them as a barrier to protect them from the unknown.
