In a warm and meaningful exchange at Raj Bhavan, Hyderabad, renowned industrialist, philanthropist, and author Dr. Dinesh Shahra presented his latest book, 'Dalai Lama's Secret to Happiness,' to the Hon'ble Governor of Telangana, Shri Jishnu Dev Varma, as part of the ongoing celebrations commemorating the 90th birth anniversary of His Holiness the Dalai Lama.
The interaction was enriched with profound reflections on the universal values of compassion, humanity, inner peace, joy, and brotherhood — ideals that form the essence of His Holiness's teachings.
Governor Dev Varma, himself an accomplished author and admirer of spiritual thought, commended the core message of the book and lauded Dr. Shahra's unwavering commitment to promoting compassion, harmony, and happiness through literature, music, and public engagement.
'In today's fragmented and fast-paced world, voices like His Holiness the Dalai Lama — and efforts like Dr. Shahra's — are crucial reminders of our shared humanity and the need to cultivate inner peace,' remarked Governor Dev Varma.
During the meeting, the Governor was particularly touched by the soulful musical tribute composed by Dr. Shahra, titled Love, Compassion, Joy, Peace, dedicated to His Holiness. As a connoisseur of music, he appreciated how such profound spiritual emotions were beautifully conveyed through melody and verse.
Dr. Shahra also shared his perspective on the global relevance of the Dalai Lama's teachings, especially in an age marked by increasing emotional disconnection, anxiety, and unrest.
'His Holiness the Dalai Lama is not merely a spiritual figure, but a living embodiment of humility, inner joy, and hope. This book is my humble offering to spread his timeless message — particularly among today's youth,' said Dr. Shahra.
The Governor also took note of the Dinesh Shahra Foundation's ongoing initiatives focused on sustainability and holistic well-being, expressing appreciation for its commitment to nation-building. He conveyed his willingness to extend support for such meaningful efforts in Telangana's welfare, whenever needed.
The meeting concluded with a shared sentiment that India must continue to serve as a spiritual torchbearer, leading global efforts to disseminate the universal values of Sanatan Dharma, Buddhist wisdom, and unconditional love, to inspire collective consciousness and inner transformation.
'Dalai Lama's Secret to Happiness' is now available on leading platforms and continues to receive acclaim from spiritual seekers, educators, and thought leaders across the globe.
