Sent a message to PM Narendra Modi (and other govt. ministers) about my book, "Who am I? I am I - Ultimate Existential Reality Answer; Vedanta; God and Science conversation"
Just a little while back today, I used the http://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/interact-with-honble-pm/ portal to send a message to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi about my book "Who am I? I am I - Ultimate Existential Reality Answer; Vedanta; God and Science conversation". I attached the free e-book (PDF) version of the book. I also offered to send a complimentary paperback copy if the PM's office would like to have that.
Over the past few days I also sent mails on similar lines to the following chief ministers and ministers on their public email ids (without PDF attachment but providing the free e-book link and also offering to send a complimentary paperback copy if they would like to have it):
* Hon'ble Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, Shri N. Chandrababu Naidu <cm@ap.gov.in>
* Hon'ble Chief Minister of Maharashtra, Shri Devendra Fadnavis <chiefminister@maharashtra.gov.in>
* Hon'ble Union Minister for Human Resource Development (including higher education), Shri Prakash Javadekar, <minister.hrd@gov.in>
* Hon'ble Union Minister for Science and Technology, Dr. Harsh Vardhan, <dr.harshvardhan@sansad.nic.in>
* Hon'ble Union Minister for Comm. & IT, Shri Ravi Shankar Prasad, <mcitoffice@gov.in>
* Hon'ble Union Minister for Railways, Shri Piyush Goyal, <piyushgoyalofficial@gmail.com>
* Hon'ble Andhra Pradesh Minister for Education, Shri Ganta Srinivasa Rao" <min_hrd@ap.gov.in>
* Hon'ble Andhra Pradesh Minister for Information Technology, Shri Nara Lokesh <peshi-it-pr@ap.gov.in>
I also sent similar mails to:
* Andhra Pradesh MLA for Puttaparthi, Dr. Palle Raghunatha Reddy
* MP from Kerala, Dr. Shashi Tharoor
I doubt if I will receive any message from the above ministers, MLA or MP about my free e-book mentioned above or any message from them for me to send them my paperback book copy. But that's OK. I feel I have done my duty as a citizen to inform them about my book on their public contact mail ids or web interface (in case of PM Modi).
Given below is the typical content of the mail/message I sent to the above mentioned persons:
Dear sir,
I have self-published my first proper book (a blog book) titled, "Who am I? I am I - Ultimate Existential Reality Answer; Vedanta; God and Science conversation" which is based on my iami1.wordpress.com blog. It has been self-published on Pothi.com (a Bangalore, India based self-publishing platform company) with the printed (paperback) copy page being: https://pothi.com/pothi/book/ravi-s-iyer-ultimate-existential-reality-answer-vedanta-god-and-science.
Given below is the main text content from the back cover page of the book which gives the reader an idea of the contents and objective of the book:
Some time ago I heard some group sing,
“Love is the answer; Now, what was the question?”
What a Mahavaakya (Great pithy statement)! Perhaps it is at the level of the Great Upanishadic Mahavaakyas like Thath Thwam Asi (You are That).
In spiritual posts, mention of contemporary spiritual leaders is avoided as the attempt is to emphasize spiritual teachings/paths/philosophy/knowledge which may be viewed as universal though the Hindu way of expressing them is used.
It must also be mentioned that a few posts are specific to Hinduism.
"I regard consciousness as fundamental. I regard matter as derivative from consciousness." - Max Planck
"Science cannot solve the ultimate mystery of nature. And that is because, in the last analysis, we ourselves are part of nature and therefore part of the mystery that we are trying to solve." - Max Planck
The God and Science conversation posts may be helpful to scientists and technologists from any religious tradition - Hindu, Christian, Muslim, Jewish, Buddhist, Jain, Sikh, etc. - to courageously counter ridicule of their belief in God from some atheist top scientists and technologists.

I would be very happy to send you, sir, a complimentary/free printed (paperback) copy. If you, sir, are interested, please send me the address (in India) where I should send it to, and an associated telephone number for the courier company to contact in case they face problems in delivery.
I have attached a few pics of the paperback book to this mail.
