About The Book

Who are you? A stressed-out bundle of emotions and thoughts going up and down the not-so-merry wheel of life? A man, a woman, a doctor, a labourer, a father, a wife, rich, poor...is this your real identity? If you are content in believing this is who you are, if you are happy to lead a life of stress and distress, then perhaps, this book is not for you.
This book is for those, who want to explore the possibility of a higher dimension of existence beyond the confines of the body and mind. Meditation is the gateway for this exploration. To be in meditation is to be who you really are. And the icing on the cake is its by-products viz., peace, bliss, repose, freedom from stress, high energy levels, heightened concentration and the list continues.
This book is a comprehensive guide integrating the theory and practice of meditation. It lucidly answers the what, why and how questions that people have on this topic. And it shows that meditation doesn't have to be a dull or sombre affair. The practical techniques given here are simples and enjoyable. Rejoice in meditation!

About The Author

A mystic, yet contemporary. Anandmurti Gurumaa can be described as both, a modern-day sage and an avant-garde metaphysicist. Born with an exceptionally endowed mind, even as a child she was keen in exploring the fundamental nature of reality.
Besieged by existential questions, she embarked upon an inner voyage which propitiously culminated in the desired objective of self-realisation.
Having consummately accomplished the raison d'être of human existence, the compassionate master generously shares her knowledge, her experiences with the masses so that everyone can see that they too have the potential to taste the nectar of self-realisation, that no one has to wallow in the dark alleys of ignorance driven suffering. And this is the simple driving force that takes her from one place to another, from one continent to another holding meditation retreats, giving erudite discourses, encouraging self-enquiry, and inspiring especially the youth to an evolved way of living.
What makes Gurumaa's teachings even more credible and palatable is the fact that she has awakened to the higher reality and hence not only talks the talk but also walks the talk. Moreover, she is completely secular with no allegiance to any one particular religion or sect. Totally against blind faith, she earnestly encourages rational enquiry. Be an explorer, not a blind believer is her dictum.

This liberal-minded enlightened being carries the beacon of refined wisdom with the intention of spreading self-illuminating knowledge. The author's remarkable creative flair is amply reflected in the huge compilation of multifarious literary and musical compositions and diverse meditation aids that are aimed at reaching out to folk from all over the world.
