Kundalini Awakening: A Visual Journey in Meditation - Softcover

Santosh Sachdeva was born in Sialkot, now in Pakistan. Along
with her parents, two sisters and a brother, she had to flee Sialkot in the
aftermath of partition in 1947. The family eventually settled in Mussoorie,
a hill-station in India, nestled in the Himalayan foothills.
Right from her childhood, Santosh was exposed to mystical subjects as her
father had an affinity for holy men (sadhus) travelling to and fro from the
Himalayas. These men in saffron robes became a familiar sight at her house
and Santosh grew up in an atmosphere graced by them. In the evenings, the
house would resonate with the rhythmic sounds of mantras chanted by these
sadhus. Santosh was thus influenced by them, and also by her parents from
whom she learnt the value of believing that life is only positives. Thus,
Santosh grew up in an environment which was naturally conducive to
spiritual unfoldment.

Santosh was educated at the Convent of Jesus and Mary in Waverly
(Mussoorie) and finished her college education from Delhi University
(India). She was married to the Late Ajeet Sachdeva, a well-known figure in
Indian Advertising. After the death of her husband, Santosh took up the
dual challenge of raising a family and running a business in Mumbai
(India).

It was only as recently as 1995, after her son took over the family
business, that Santosh turned to Mental Physics (Brahma Vidya). She started
attending the course conducted by Justice M. L. Dudhat of the Bombay High
Court. This year marked the beginning of a significant period in her life.
Little did she understand how this would completely change her life,
bringing on a profound obsession with meditation and a surrender to the
Higher Forces. She now continues to live with equanimity, a full life, even
in semi-retirement. She hopes that her story will help validate similar
experiences of others in meditation, and especially inspire young students
to fearlessly undertake the spiritual journey.
