A book which has covered the essence of spiritual practice so beautifully。 If you want to know and understand the relevance of Spiritual practice, know the correct way of practicing meditation, and know if you are meditating right, and the best part if you want to stay motivated to practice stillness every day consistently。 This is the book you should go for。 All the best。

I have been practicing meditation on and off since a long time。 The only issue was consistency。 But the book resolved the issue。 After reading the book I find myself quite regular with my practices。Lots of love to the author for writing this fantastic book。 Also, I gifted this book to one of my friend , whom I really want to start meditating。 This book is apt for a beginner and as well as for an advanced practitioner。 Loved it!

It’s a very written book that clearly conveys the importance of meditation。 The author has the depth of experience to describe how inner peace can be attained。 Swamiji is a meditation teacher and a guide to many。 His simple personal style make the subtle subject of meditation easy to understand。 This is an encouraging book that gives confidence that one can gain access to inner strength and poise through meditation, breath work and a good attitude towards life。

Shreya Nupur

The beauty of this book lies in the simplicity with which an expert meditation trainer like Swamiji has laid out a path for beginners, intermediate and advanced practitioners of meditation alike leading them to a better understanding of why and how meditation can work for them

Very rarely does a book come, to which anybody from any walk of life can easily relate to, and this is one of them。 And once the reader gets connected, Swamiji step by step dispells misconceptions around the modern day twisted and commercialised concept of mindfulness (mind you, that's not meditation :P), makes us scientifically understand and realise that how and why meditation is what can get you that everlasting contentment and joy that majority of us are sadly looking for in the wrong places Very rarely does a book come, to which anybody from any walk of life can easily relate to, and this is one of them。 And once the reader gets connected, Swamiji step by step dispells misconceptions around the modern day twisted and commercialised concept of mindfulness (mind you, that's not meditation :P), makes us scientifically understand and realise that how and why meditation is what can get you that everlasting contentment and joy that majority of us are sadly looking for in the wrong places (jobs/relationships/hobbies etc)。He finally helps the readers who might want to try or have dropped or are already doing meditation, get great takeaways to go ahead in their journey。 It is an easy must read for anyone, specially in the current age of pandemic uncertainty, that we are living in。 。。。more

This book has very simply explained how to follow meditation and simple technique to make life happier。 His personal anecdotes are also been given。 I personally a huge admirer of Swamiji and his journey from Netherlands to being a Swamiji amazes me。 His chants are so soulful。

I thank Swami ji for sharing his knowledge on the meditation , being a follower of Art of living I too sometimes find difficult to meditate。 Although he has given a good insight how to get ride of unnecessary thoughts which are beyond our control。 I have done a part -01 yoga program with him and still remember how easily he has brought everyone attention and interest in the Asanas, he is a pure soul and wishing I could also contribute to the mission guruji Sri Sri Ravi Shankar has started for th I thank Swami ji for sharing his knowledge on the meditation , being a follower of Art of living I too sometimes find difficult to meditate。 Although he has given a good insight how to get ride of unnecessary thoughts which are beyond our control。 I have done a part -01 yoga program with him and still remember how easily he has brought everyone attention and interest in the Asanas, he is a pure soul and wishing I could also contribute to the mission guruji Sri Sri Ravi Shankar has started for the wellbeing of mankind。Merci Swami Ji 。。。more

I am glad to pick up to read this wonderfully written book - Looking Inward, by one of my most inspiring mentors and a very senior faculty at the Art of Living - Swami Purnachaitanya。 He is a fabulous trainer at any of the programs that he conducts of Yoga or Meditation。 The amazing writer in him has given mankind an opportunity to practice authentic Meditation just by reading this super lucid book。 The unique thing in the writing style is how such a deep learning subject like meditation is real I am glad to pick up to read this wonderfully written book - Looking Inward, by one of my most inspiring mentors and a very senior faculty at the Art of Living - Swami Purnachaitanya。 He is a fabulous trainer at any of the programs that he conducts of Yoga or Meditation。 The amazing writer in him has given mankind an opportunity to practice authentic Meditation just by reading this super lucid book。 The unique thing in the writing style is how such a deep learning subject like meditation is really broken into amazing step by step guide with practical tips throughout the book。 I have learned the techniques discussed in the book over the last decade and am super proud to be practicing the mentioned yoga, breathing techniques/pranayama and of course meditation in different programs at the Art of Living with a variety of faculties。 It was so exciting to really read, imbibe and cherish each of the practices that I have been practicing regularly being narrated in a beautiful flow。 The parables used to draw analogy and explain such intrinsic topics with great ease is sincerely admired!I will call it a Guide Book or a Manual to Authentic Meditation which contain answers to all possible FAQs that can come to any mind about Meditation。 The structure of the book is very relevant to our generation of readers, since as each chapter concludes there is a recap to the primary takeaways from the chapter under the heading "Wisdom Surtas", this gives an opportunity to consolidate the learnings and move ahead into reading the next chapter to explore deeper and further。 Also, each chapter contains a "10 Minute Exercise" which enables a reader to practically experience each of the tips shared in the chapter to experience meditation by managing the mind and the flow of thoughts! Doing this exercise for sure gives confidence to proceed with reading further since the effectiveness of the techniques speak for itself by the experience it provides to the one who really gives a 100% to read, learn, experience and continue! I am super grateful to have read LOOKING INWARD around Guru Purnima 2021 and go deeper within myself to explore the deeper realms of my consciousness! I am more determined to regularly continue my practices with reverence and transcend from effort to effortlessness! 。。。more

It’s written in a simple way for almost anyone and everyone to understand。 Written to motivate people to adopt meditation in their daily lives。 The book dispels lot of myths about meditation what generally people think。 It’s a beautiful book about the simplicity of the practice and how to find inner strength, peace and happiness with this age old wisdom。 Book of simple truths of life。

I am of the third category of people, as Swami Purnachaitanya mentions towards the end of the book,who have been practising meditation and I read books on Meditation by people I believe who can add value to my daily practice。As a follower of Gurudev Sri Sri Ravishankar, I was obviously very curious to read Swami Purnachaitanya’s book on meditation。 The book is an easy read , full of wisdom and written to motivate people to cultivate the habit of meditation。There are stories from his life, anecdo I am of the third category of people, as Swami Purnachaitanya mentions towards the end of the book,who have been practising meditation and I read books on Meditation by people I believe who can add value to my daily practice。As a follower of Gurudev Sri Sri Ravishankar, I was obviously very curious to read Swami Purnachaitanya’s book on meditation。 The book is an easy read , full of wisdom and written to motivate people to cultivate the habit of meditation。There are stories from his life, anecdotes from literature ,wisdom sutras and short exercises。On the whole a great read 。 JGD。 。。。more
