Late yesterday night (early morning today, 10th Jan), I did some searches on well known search engines using anonymous Chrome browser for search terms about: answer to existential reality question: who am I? The results showed my 'Who am I? I am I ...' book among the top ten results! That was nice to know and I thought I should share this with readers.
'Who am I? I am I ...' book paperback version (link has short book description): https://www.amazon.in/Who-Ultimate-Existential-conversation-iami1-wordpress-com/dp/164650349X/  , free PDF version (link has longer book description and table of contents):  https://archive.org/details/20180424EbookNotPrintColourCoverBWContentsA5WhoAmIIAmINGodNScience.
Given below are screenshots of three search engines (Google, Bing and DuckDuckGo) for search term:
Answer to existential reality question: who am I?

Removing the word reality from the search term causes Google to not show the book in the top fifty results (let alone top ten). But Bing shows it as the 4th result and DuckDuckGo as 14th (4th in 2nd set of 10 results) - related pics are given below.

Search term:
Answer to existential question: who am I?



The Internet is quite a democratic medium for views. Otherwise how could my self-published book which is quite unknown really in the book world given the tiny number of people that have read it or have come across it, get ranked so highly across three well known search engines, even if the search term using generic words (not unique to my book) matches the book title?

I did some more searches today. Google, Bing and DuckDuckGo all give my 'Who am I? I am I ...' book as the top result (excluding Advertisement result marked as 'Ad') for the search term:
Vedanta answer to who am I existential question

[The results are same or similar for search term:
Hindu Vedanta answer to who am I existential question ]

The screenshots below show the results.

When the search term is changed to:
Hinduism answer to who am I existential question
the results are as follows:

Google: 18th result:


Bing - 2nd result excluding Facebook Advertisement result:


DuckDuckGo - 2nd result:


The result above is not region specific. US Region specific search gives the same result:


I find the above results to be very encouraging. Through my book (paperback as well as free ebook versions shared on multiple platforms), the great revelation and interpretation of Hindu scripture of Vedanta, specifically the Tat Tvam Asi (You are That) Mahavakya related part of Chandogya Upanishad from the Sama Veda, by great spiritual masters and scholars, including my revered and beloved Gurudev Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba, is easily accessible to users searching on the Internet for answers in Hindu Vedanta to the big existential reality question of 'who am I?'. However, to avoid readers of the book getting sidetracked by any misconceptions they may have about Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba as he is known more among the public at large as a man of miracles rather than for his brilliant and wonderful explanations of the core messages of the Upanishads (Vedanta), I have not referred to him by name in the key Chandogya Upanishad verse interpretations (Vedanta) part as well as most of the other parts of my above book.

BTW I come family-wise from the Sama Veda tradition and so Chandogya Upanishad has a special attraction for me.
