"Think Globally, Act Locally"

Written by Vittal Koppal

 2) Theme of the book:

Few voices have been so influential in spreading the knowledge of “One Unified World Vision” around the world as that of great sage Ravindranath Tagore While, espousing the philosophy of the great sage Rabindranath Tagore, this book quite successfully projects the idea that humans must “Awaken” to the ‘Universal self-knowledge’ and remove the limitations of their human nature of personification, in order to transform the world from politically and religiously divided, scattered place to that of the globally unified ‘One Nation’; having unlimited multidimensional possibilities for the growth, evolution and prosperity for the wholesome humankind. Humans can change, they can certainly, know themselves and therefore understand others and live in greater harmony.

 Empowering the human race, to ‘think globally and act locally’ thereby, awaking one, regarding the central issues of planet Earth at stake and one’s localized, self-centered personified mold. People of world over, can be ‘persuaded’ to think outside of the boundaries of their personified consciousness. Human race already has an inborn hidden ability within, to know them and to change the way they currently live, divided amongst themselves and others as if they are enemies to one another. In ending, book portrays universalized central ideas; the last chapter ends with the quotes from important religious, political, and scientific figures around the world. Through these quotes, Author argues that the self-knowledge is the universal phenomenon, that will eventually transform the present politically and religiously divided and scattered world into one of beautiful unified ‘Global Nation’, thus verily one or the other day will change the course of the human history.

 3) World over market analysis, promotion, target audience, and expected duration of sales for this book:

 I wrote this thought provoking literary work for present, as well as future generations, between the ages of 18 and 81 years. The subject matter and information contained in this book intends to inspire and motivate the reader to "Think Globally, Act Locally.” It is of utmost necessity that the youth of today, the world over, understand and act upon this universal approach. This universal approach has all the essential ingredients to succeed world over, and has the special ability to multiply its 'grassroots' readership by means of ‘word of mouth’ advertisement, provided the book properly promoted with the assistance of ‘world mass media’. Further, this writer intends to write another 18 books, each of which will be an elaboration upon each of the chapters of this book. I hope that such endeavors will funded by financial profit created through sales of this book.

 4) Global ‘scope and application’ for the subject matter contained in this book:

 Unfortunately, this humanitarian ‘Universal self-knowledge’ has yet to be recognized by the world's great universities and learning institutions as worthy for mandatory study by all students, through which one successfully graduate as a 'Universal Citizen' or a person with ‘Universalized Thoughts’ who has awakened into his or her inner ‘indomitable’ light of infinite consciousness. In actuality, this 'Universal self-knowledge’ is of primary need in today's world, as a means of educating and transforming the youth of the world who have already been molded by a ‘self-centered, localized, and personified psyche’.

 It has already proved continuing in this direction will lead us nowhere. If we scan the present conditions of world over, it shows that, presently available ‘character building’ ancient scriptures of self-knowledge, which were meant to inspire and educate people, to evolve into good and responsible human beings, have naturally become ‘inadequate’ to penetrate and enlighten the modern minds, because they were not written for the present young generation. Simultaneously, our present living conditions and the worldwide scenarios have too changed substantially. However, now young people do not even have required time and patience to study them deeply enough, to understand and further to digest them properly into wisdom.

 Therefore, out of the necessity of the present market of the most advanced scientific Age. The present young generation more and more educated into the scientific knowledge, having many modern scientific words in their usage. Who feel communication gap of the generations, while trying to understand the eternal ancient self-knowledge discovered more than 5000 years back surprisingly still very much relevant to the present advancements of the scientific age. Hence, to fill the gap and need of this important subject of today’s market, this book has been written using the ‘most modern scientific words and with ‘scientific point of view’. I am equally quite enthusiastic, and wish to educate and impart through my books, about the great ‘character building’ ancient self-knowledge.

 This book can become best tool, to inspire as well as to impart the vision of ‘one unified world, successfully unto young generation. Further, ‘he or she’ will certainly, go on to share it to more other people. Those people will branch out and they too in turn, share with others and naturally the pea-sized ‘snowy ball of words’ is a rolling ‘avalanche of ever increasing demand for the one unified world.
