Souls from Mercury is a wide-reaching text that Ramanathan writes to address how people can discover their souls from Mercury, the balance between the masculine Mars and feminine Venus. Ramanathan also writes about how readers can align their chakras, or as he writes, “pathways through which consciousness evolves.” He also writes about how readers can meditate and practice yoga to raise their consciousness. In addition to spiritual relationships with higher powers, Souls from Mercury also offers relationship advice to readers. Ramanathan writes how readers can bring spirituality and deeper to their romantic lives by understanding their chakras.
Ramanathan’s writing has a mixture of personal and professional, spiritual and scientific. He writes about how different religions can be used to impact people’s lives, such as the Ten Commandments and Eastern religious texts as well. Ramanathan also references philosophers and scientists to back up his theories.
In a refreshing change from self-help texts such as Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus, there is no generalization of the genders. Ramanathan advocates readers to get in touch with their masculine and feminine sides to achieve balance in their lives. He also details how he believes in the Divine Mother of Eastern religions and the Holy Father of Western faiths to find inner peace. He also writes about the Eastern belief that God dwells in each reader. Ramanathan’s writing is personable and academic, making the text relatable. In addition to his teachings, Ramanathan also shares his personal biography that led to his spiritual enlightenment that led to his becoming a “Mercurian.” He also has testimonials from his students, who testify about how he helped them live their best lives. The testimonials offer insight into how his teachings have helped them realize their inner divinity.
Souls from Mercury would be best for fans of New Age self-help books, like Deepak Chopra’s The Healing Self and Marianne Willliamson. Ramanathan’s work also be ideal for readers of self-help romantic texts from authors like John Gray. The text could also be taught in spiritual self-help or spiritual groups as well.
