A personal account of R. Venkatesan, "Three Decades of Being a Sahaja Yogi – a Yogi’s Diary" recounts his experiences and the essence of Sahaja Yoga. Sahaja Yoga is the spontaneous union of one’s own consciousness with the Paramathma, through the ‘awakening’ of the powerful Kundalini energy that lies dormant within us. Once awakened, Kundalini energy enables the individual to holistically function with increased efficiency, thus attaining success in life. Giving us a glimpse of Sahaja Yoga, its benefits and the chakra system, the author arouses our interest in this yoga which is an effective tool in modern times to combat chronic stress and its related illnesses. R. Venkatesan has also, through his book, introduced the founder of Sahaja Yoga, HH Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi – again just enough for us to ‘seek’ her out and her form of yoga that has practitioners worldwide.
