Over the last two decades, Sashi and Raghu have offered the practice of SaptaSvara to several seekers, yoga practitioners, people from diverse backgrounds, institutions, and business organisations.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe fictional narrative of the book is a contemplative conversation between the two protagonists – Ramya and Bharat, and their inner journeys, which grounds the narrative framework svara by svara. The narrative unfolds as a seamless conversation between the two characters through their internal reflections and sharing of their contextual reality, and the core of each Svara is explored through conversations.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRaghu Ananthanarayanan, Dr Nandini Murali and Ankush Vij, the authors of SaptaSvara: Discovering the rhythm of life, are SaptaSvara practitioners. They bring together a self-reflective and contemplative conversation between two characters as they explore the SaptaSvara and embrace the struggles and challenges in their quest for a meaningful life in a world that is increasingly volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous (VUCA).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBoth characters are on an exploratory quest. Their free, frank and fearless conversations are like that between two best friends in the true sense of the term. This deep engagement enables “sticky” issues to surface. Each of the characters is a mirror that reflects the other and in the process enables them to “see” each oneself completely—warts and all—perhaps for the first time.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRamya and Bharat are metaphors for the light and shadow aspects of the psyche. In a mature psyche, both light and shadow are complementary and integrated. It is an invitation to experiment with oneself and delve into the depths of the invisible, the unarticulated, and the disowned parts of oneself by confronting the disowned “other.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MLBD PUBLICATION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51272659894570,"sku":"CRAZY-9789368535942","price":34.42,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0693\/1218\/4618\/files\/936853814X.jpg?v=1773917103","url":"https:\/\/crazyshelf.com\/products\/sapta-svara-discovering-the-rhythm-of-life","provider":"Crazyshelf.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
