Global Spiritual Healer Hitesh Chakraworty Unveils His New Book…

Decoding The Mystery Behind 3, 6 & 9

Unlocking the Secrets of Human Existence, Spirituality, and Consciousness

New Delhi, 25th September, 2023: Renowned global spiritual healer and thinker, Hitesh Chakraworty, has announced the launch of his groundbreaking book, titled “Decoding the Mystery of 3, 6 & 9.” This highly anticipated work delves into the profound depths of human consciousness, shedding light on the enigmatic interplay between family conscience, group dynamics, and the path to true self-discovery.
Nikola Tesla, the visionary inventor, was once known for coining the mystery surrounding the numbers 3, 6, and 9. Inspired by Tesla’s insights, Hitesh Chakraworty embarked on extensive research and experimentation with these numbers. His relentless pursuit has led to the unraveling of a hidden mystery, and through his new book, he aims to share his findings with mankind.

Beyond the intricate web of family conscience and societal dynamics, Chakraworty’s revelations unveil a captivating narrative of encounters with beings from dimensions beyond our own. These revelations stem from Chakraworty’s firsthand experiences, providing an intriguing glimpse into the vast diversity of existence. Through personal accounts of venturing into their dimensions, he unravels the complexities of these interactions, shedding light on the challenges and insights they entail.

As Chakraworty navigates the uncharted waters of cosmic encounters, readers will get to contemplate the intricacies of these connections. His revelations prompt a reevaluation of humanity’s place in the universe and challenge conventional perspectives on life, existence, and the realms that lie beyond.

In “Decoding the Mystery of 3, 6 & 9,” Hitesh Chakraworty also reveals a startling revelation – the human mind, which is intrinsically connected to the source of human existence, operates in an unconscious state due to the influence of family and group conscience. By unraveling the mysteries hidden within the numbers 3, 6, and 9, Chakraworty demonstrates that transcending the constraints of the mind can lead to liberation from the cycles of life and death.

Hitesh Chakraworty’s profound insights are accompanied by a poignant understanding of societal dynamics. He explores how the experiences of women, including hatred, violence, abuse, inequality, and injustice, contribute to creating a depressive environment in both society and nature. Chakraworty’s book presents a thought-provoking perspective on the interconnectedness of human emotions and the environment we inhabit.

According to Hitesh Chakraworty, “The journey of self-discovery and spiritual awakening is a deeply personal one. We must look within ourselves to unlock the mysteries of our existence and find true freedom. My book aims to guide readers on this transformative journey, offering insights that challenge conventional wisdom and open the doors to a higher understanding of life.”

Hailing from India, Hitesh Chakraworty is a revered Global Spiritual Healer who has seamlessly integrated his vast experience into the realms of healing and wellness. Formerly a corporate professional, Chakraworty’s quest for deeper meaning led him to explore the mysteries of spirituality. His journey culminated in the creation of “Decoding the Mystery of 3,6 & 9,” a testament to his unwavering dedication to unlocking the secrets of human consciousness.

“Decoding the Mystery of 3, 6 & 9” is poised to become a cornerstone in the realm of spiritual literature, guiding readers towards a deeper understanding of themselves and the world around them. For those seeking enlightenment and a fresh perspective on human existence, this book is a must-read. The book is available on Amazon, Flipkart, and NotionPress.com. It’s also accessible in 130 countries, including the US and UK, priced at INR 1500 and $45, respectively.

GREEN GANESHA RELOADED: A Sustainable Celebration of Creativity at Nahar’s Amrit Shakti

 

Mumbai, 23rd September 2023– Nahar Group, a pioneer in championing green initiatives, once again demonstrates its unwavering commitment to environmental sustainability and community engagement. The renowned real estate developer recently organized a two-day workshop, titled “Eco-friendly Ganesha & Makhar Workshop,” at Nahar’s Nectarfield Club on September 16th and 17th, 2023.

Ganesh Chaturthi, a festival celebrated with great enthusiasm across India, often involves the use of non-biodegradable materials in the creation of Ganesha idols and decorations, leading to environmental concerns. In response to this, Nahar’s Nectarfield Club took the initiative to host this innovative workshop, with the aim of promoting eco-consciousness and nurturing artistic talents within its community.

The workshop, attended by approximately 250 residents of Nahar’s Amrit Shakti community, offered an immersive experience in crafting eco-friendly Ganesha idols and Makhar while emphasizing the use of sustainable materials. Key highlights of the event included:

1. Workshop Dates :

– Makhar Workshop: September 16, 2023

– Eco-friendly Ganesha Idol Workshop: September 17, 2023

2. Venue: Nahar’s Nectarfield Club, Nahar’s Amrit Shakti

3. Attendance: Approximately 150 participants on Day 1 and 200 participants on Day 2

4. Workshop Focus:

– Eco-friendly Ganesha Idol Crafting: Participants learned to create Ganesha idols using Shadu Miti, an eco-friendly clay that is free from harmful chemicals and degrades rapidly in water. This sustainable alternative ensures that the immersion of Ganesha idols does not harm the environment.

– Makhar Making: The workshop also featured the creation of Makhar (decorative arches) using newspaper and cardboard, promoting the use of recycled materials in festive decorations.

One of the remarkable additions to this year’s celebration was the installation of an artificial immersion pond, designed to facilitate the eco-friendly immersion of Ganesha idols. This pond not only provided a safe and convenient space for residents to perform Visarjan (immersion) but also served as a testament to Nahar Group’s steadfast commitment to sustainable traditions.

Ms. Manju Yagnik, Vice Chairperson of Nahar Group and Senior Vice President of NAREDCO said that, “At Nahar Group, we believe in fostering a sense of community while also being responsible stewards of the environment. The Green Ganesha project is a perfect embodiment of these principles. We are thrilled to see the enthusiastic participation of our residents in embracing eco-consciousness and artistic expression.”

Nahar Group’s Green Ganesha Reloaded initiative stands as a shining example of how traditional festivals can be celebrated with creativity and eco-consciousness at the forefront. The company continues to lead the way in promoting sustainable living and responsible community engagement.
