 Spiritualism is a form of higher philosophy that explores the realm of hidden powers within one’s mind. You don’t have to be particularly religious to be spiritual. In fact spiritual awakening can come to a person engaged in perfectly worldly pursuits. This has been exemplified by the story of the author, a physician, who experienced the first awakening of his kundalini even before he had become aware of Sahaj Yoga — he had a strange experience after visiting a Shiva temple. He developed backache and his entire body began to shiver uncontrollably while he was sleeping one winter night. Unable to find any medical reason for this phenomenon he surmised that this must be the sign of his kundalini awakening. In this way he set out on a path that unlocked the powers hidden in his mind.
This book is not just an autobiographical account of the author’s spiritual experiences but a glimpse into and lucid explanation of the development of psychic powers, the phenomenon of Chakras, the sensing of energy blocks, hypnosis and extra-sensory perceptions. Since Kaushik belongs to medical profession, the profusion of medical terminology is understandable. However, it has been used in a manner that the narrative becomes all the more interesting. |
