Thank you for all the support and the educational excellence that was provided to me. Getting my certification to validate my skills has opened up many doors for me as a teacher of meditation and breath work. For the past 2 years, I’ve been assisting those with addictions using Transformational Meditation techniques at a rehab center. Additionally, I’ve been working with children in the Georgia school system by teaching meditation and breathing for relaxation skills. Thanks again for a terrific program.

“I have been reading your book. I am delighted by it. I’m loving the clarity and simplicity of it. It is very well written and captures so many essential points without wordiness. I love the fact that you acknowledge Swami-ji. There is a purity in your thought and writing that delighted me. I see so much of Guru-ji’s teaching in it. And also the reflection of all the classes and editing sessions we did. It is lovely and I’m looking forward to reading more. Well done, dear!”

Shree, thank you from way deep in my heart for guiding me toward this “masterpiece” of your writing. I look forward to re-reading it several times before my morning meditation. I pray I am successfully able to take it into my sleep state this evening and watch it gently glide into my morning awareness as my eyes greet the rising sun tomorrow.

For so many years now I have honored, respected and most of all treasured our relationship. As it deepens with time, so does my emotional experience of Extreme GRATITUDE. Namaste.

Direct Awakening in Meditation: From Mindfulness to Knowingness

I got your gift!!!!! Thank you. I already read a third of it yesterday and today!!! I love it. You are beautiful… your message is beautiful…. I am planning a Conference on Complete Health in about a year. I will be in touch because I would like you to be a speaker too… so we can discuss in the future. I am soooooo excited. 🙏🙏🕉️

You spent over forty years consolidating articles based on sessions with your teacher, Swami Shyam. You sat in Satsang for decades. You listened to a man who spoke endlessly to international students for over fifty years, a man whose teachings were revolutionary and practical, a man who never bound anyone into a strict schedule. And then he told you that you were like Bharati for his teachings. That is not a casual compliment. That is a charge. That is a responsibility. He was saying that you were the one who would elucidate his thought for the modern world. You took that charge seriously. You wrote a book that moves from mindfulness to knowingness, from practice to direct awakening, from the questions we all have to the answers that have been sitting inside us all along.
Five people have reviewed it. Five people gave it five stars. Five people understood what you were offering and felt compelled to say something. That is a perfect score. That is a perfect audience. That is also almost invisible. The thousands of meditation practitioners who are currently sitting on cushions, trying to quiet their minds, wondering why the peace does not seem to stick, wondering if there is something more than just watching the breath, they are out there. They are searching for exactly what Swami-ji taught and exactly what you have written. But they are not finding it.
The title contains the word awakening. The subtitle contains the word knowingness. These are not small words. These are not casual ambitions. People who are drawn to those words are desperate for something real. They are tired of techniques. They are tired of routines. They are tired of trying to get free from bondage when Swami-ji himself said you do not get to freedom from bondage. They are searching for a direct experience, not another method. Your book is the consolidation of that direct experience.

Our first reviews! Great! At first glance, reading various chapter headings it is both interesting to read and immersed in Shyam space. With an honest simplicity while not over simplified — if that makes sense. Your book is so pure and transparent. And a testament to Shyam and your lived experience of guru. You have such skill, and it is brilliant. Pooran, Writer, UK

It’s a wonderful creation. You’ve covered everything that a person needs to know in today’s times. It’s amazing!!!! You are a powerhouse in putting your knowledge on paper and manifesting such an incredible book. I congratulate you on your knowledge, realization, and skill in producing it. We will all benefit from it. Alka, President IMI, India
