ABOUT THIS BOOK

In Krishna: The 7th Sense, well-known author and globally acclaimed management professor, Debashis Chatterjee offers an allegorical view into the lives of a teacher (Keshav) and his old students (Neel, Kaya and others), and conjures up some unforgettable lessons in love.

This is a magnificent saga of passion and pain, acceptance and affection, faith and fulfilment—a story that is at once ancient and contemporary.
In a world where romance ignites and fades, we often find asking ourselves ‘what went wrong?’ But what if you were given another chance to discover the flame of ecstatic love? Imagine being in love all over again, or seeing your love from a timeless horizon. What if you had Shri Krishna as your mentor to help you navigate the passion and perils of your life?
Keshav thus said, ‘The ultimate destiny of a human being is to complete himself. It is the art of putting your whole life together—connecting yourself to your source. This is where you started. Your original nature is love…your seventh sense.’
