Why Start with the Right Book?

What About the Original Lal Kitab?
The original Lal Kitab was authored by Pt. Roop Chand Joshi and published in five volumes between 1939 and 1952. These are written in Urdu/Punjabi and are extremely difficult for beginners. Dr. Sharma's books make the same knowledge accessible in simple Hindi and English.
