![]() ![]() I felt like a secret door to inner exploration had opened. It gave me enormous strength to face the world and its challenges. It made me realize that I am a part of an infinite wholeness and can’t be separated from it. Identifying with this observer self or Sakshi (witness) was a great relief. I was in Tuticorin, Tamil Nadu for my semester holidays and I saw that there is a part of ‘self’ in me which is just pure conscious witness and it was unchanging. Sometime during the end of 2002, I went through an experience which changed my worldview and my life completely. The second option led me into spiritual seeking I somehow got the trust that I can find the way out by getting the help of the saints of the past and the wisdom that they have left for the world. There were only two choices: 1) Suicide 2) Survive, seek and find the way out. When my peers were spending their time in understanding people and the world and learning the survival skills that are necessary to survive in this cruel, competitive world, I was spending all my energy to find out how to cope up with my emotional issues and be happy. I felt like I didn’t belong to this world and its people, and this huge lack of a sense of belonging was very depressing.

I wrote this book when I was beginning to understand what was happening to me, two years after spiritual enlightenment. It has received many positive reviews, mainly highlighting the honesty and clarity they found in the book. My book “ The Truth About Spiritual Enlightenment: Bridging Science, Buddhism and Advaita Vedanta” has been helping seekers around the world to reduce the confusion and get more clarity on the path. Also, this is the age when seemingly contradicting and confusing theories in spiritual science confuse the clueless seeker and leave him in despair. This is also an age when many so-called gurus use the weaknesses of the spiritual seekers to their own advantage, become spiritual entrepreneurs and earn millions in their spiritual business. This is also an age when the general public seem to have no idea about the true authentic spirituality, the science which explores the mechanics of human suffering and the way out of it. We are living in an age when spiritual wisdom has been demystified enough, though “spiritual enlightenment” or ‘self-realization’ still remains a mystery for people who are seeking it. ![]()
