Kundalini Awakening: A Visual Journey In Meditation - Softcover

“The experiences recounted in this book bring to a peak the mystical events associated with the awakening of the Kundalini energy.” – Rohit Arya ‘from his preface to this book’ In all the literature about the Kundalini, there has never been anything like this book and its illustrations in the delineation of the actual processes of its awakening. The illustrations of the workings of the ascending Kundalini energy are unique. The experiences recounted in this third volume are a culmination of Santosh’s spiritual journals, and bring to a peak the mystical events associated with the awakening of the Kundalini as described by her in Volumes I and II of her Kundalini books. The forms and scenes encountered by the inner eye are depicted with clarity and simplicity, and resonate with spiritual energy. A typical example of the great merits of Santosh’s book lies in its pointing out that the chakra or chakras which need activation will be energized first, even if apparently out of linear sequence. This is of immense significance as many people spend inordinate amounts of time worrying that the process has gone awry. This book helps you understand that another person’s experience will never be precisely duplicated in your own meditations. This third volume in the Kundalini journey is full of experiences underwritten by a universal context. These are not Hindu or yogic, but universal; such experiences are generic to the mystical tradition. Welcome to the path of transcendence that is the universal Kundalini.

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.
