ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Rajinder Singh
The real treasures are within you. Meditation helps you discover them.
Spiritual Guide
Author & Educator
Global Humanitarian
Rajinder Singh is the author of numerous books for adults and children. He is dedicated to helping people realize the treasures within themselves through meditation, a life of ethical living, selfless service, kindness, and respect for all.
Rajinder Singh is internationally recognized for his work toward promoting inner and outer peace through spirituality and meditation on the inner Light and Sound. He emphasizes the fundamental unity and harmony of all faiths and emphasizes meditation as the basis for peace.
As founder of Darshan Education Foundation, he has established Darshan Academies throughout India (schools that teach students from Pre-K-Grade 12). Integrating both meditation and a spiritual curriculum into a traditional academic environment, the foundation's goal is twofold: first, to produce students whose spiritual potential is developed along with their intellect and physical well-being; and second, to inspire in each student a global view of the world, unobstructed by distinctions of race, nationality, religion, or economic status.
Other books by the author through Radiance Publishers include Meditation as Medication for the Soul, Empowering the Soul through Meditation, Inner and Outer Peace through Meditation, and Building Bridges through Meditation, available at the SOS Media Store, Amazon, and Barnes and Noble Books.
