FAQ

Glossary and FAQ

To fully maximize the benefits of your Celestial Love Letters subscription, understanding the terminology I use to refer to different sections in my newsletter is crucial. Equally important is knowing what to anticipate and when to expect it. Therefore, I have created a glossary and FAQ to assist you in navigating the newsletter.

Glossary

Analysis

This is the featured story for the week, which will provide my analysis on a chosen topic within spirituality. Typically, these topics are derived from my daily spiritual messages that were posted throughout 2020-21. However, I also reserve the freedom to include other compelling topics that catch my attention.

Quiz

The section referred to as the Multipath Quiz for Uplifting Your Spirituality Quotient aims to test your knowledge on world religions and interfaith spirituality through a lighthearted quiz each week. Please note that the answers to the quiz will not be immediately provided, as they will be revealed in the subsequent issue. Thank you for your patience!

News

This section is truly one-of-a-kind, as it offers curated news stories from around the world. Although my primary focus will be on India and the USA, as most of my readers hail from these countries, I will also feature noteworthy stories from every country in between. My selection will also include a few environmental news items.

In this section, I present a balanced blend of positive and not-so-positive news stories, as we cannot evolve spiritually by solely consuming positive news. It is divided into two subsections:

  • Spiritually Positive: Inspirational News to Brighten Your Day

  • Spiritually Negative: Provocative News to Spark Deep Reflection

Quotes

Explore some of the most profound quotes on interfaith harmony in this section, which I have titled Inspiring and Thought-Provoking Words for Reflection.

Q and A

Engage in an interactive section where you can ask any questions you may have. While I do not consider myself a spiritual master, I will provide my best attempt to answer your queries based on my knowledge and personal experiences with spirituality. This section is aptly named Ask Ranjit. If you are a paid subscriber, you can submit your questions by filling out a Google Form, which can be accessed from a paid-only newsletter issue.

Book summary

In this section, I will provide weekly book summaries that delve into how reading can foster interfaith understanding and bridge gaps between various religions. Each week, I will focus on a renowned book from different religious faiths and denominations. This section is aptly titled Reading Across Religions: Uniting Faiths Through the Power of Books.

Editorial

The Editorial is the space where I will directly communicate with you, my valued reader. There are no strict guidelines as to the topics I will cover or the length of the piece. Some days, I may use this space to make announcements, while other days, I may use it to express grievances or to recognize someone or something.

Book review

This is an optional section that may not be included every week. As the name implies, it will feature my reviews of books authored by individuals who are either known to me personally or who I hold in high regard.

Real-life application / case study

This is another exceptional section that holds a special place in my heart. It features the success story of individuals who have achieved remarkable success by embracing interfaith harmony and syncretism. This section showcases the transformative potential of interpath spirituality and syncretism, and how applying these practices in our lives lead to personal and spiritual growth.
