She grew up in an environment where she was exposed to stimulating conversation and literature and the windows of the mind opened to a much wider world. She began seeking answers about the true meaning of existence; why things are the way they are and not how they should be.She began expressing her thoughts in poetry. Kadambari learnt early in life that moments of suffering are in truth moments of Grace, as she turned towards the ancient wisdom of the scriptures for guidance. A Sociology Honours graduate from Elphinstone College, Bombay,Kadambari Kaul is the author of 'Gautama Buddha - A Noble life,' published in 2003, followed by 'Verses from the Dhammapada,' published in 2007. Both the aforementioned books received positive reviews in the national press, with the latter now included in the library collections of the Heidelberg University, Germany and the National Taiwan University. Verses from the Dhammapada was also selected by the reviewers of Karuna Bodhisattva Order for originality. In 2010, at the recommendation of Sahitya Academy, Kadambari's poem ' Peace' was published in Literary Paritantra, an international journal published by Dayalbagh University, Agra. Kadambari's latest book the 'Brihadaarnayaka - the Great Upanishad - Understanding Brahman and the Ultimate Reality' published by Leadstart Publishing under their Celestial Books Imprint, is the outcome of several years of intensive research. Writing the numerous poems and commentaries has been a kind of meditative excercise for her. It is Kadambari's earnest endeavour to show people through this ancient Upanishad, that while living in this world characterized by the suffering of change, it is possible to work towards higher degrees of spiritual happiness, and ulitmately liberation and immortal life.
