12 January 2024

HarperCollins India is delighted to announce the forthcoming publication of

SPIRITUAL ANATOMY

Meditation, Chakras, and the Journey to the Center

by  Daaji [Kamlesh D. Patel]

 

 

‘Daaji offers us the path to take our fragmented lives and integrate them to achieve our highest potential.’ ― James R. Doty, bestselling author of Into the Magic Shop

 

‘Utterly charming, and eminently useful.’ ― Robert Thurman, Ph.D., Columbia Professor Emeritus and author of Man of Peace and Wisdom Is Bliss

‘Using awareness and meditation as a tool for health, Daaji’s work brings a most valuable heart into the field of healing science. Daaji gifts readers an important resource for traversing personal transformation.’ ― Sharon Salzberg, New York Times bestselling author of Lovingkindness and Real Life

 

 

ABOUT THE BOOK

From the internationally bestselling author of The Heartfulness Way comes a journey to the center of our consciousness, mapping a path for you to connect to your highest self through Heartfulness meditation and guided chakra practices.

When we think of wellbeing, we often think of our physical and mental health—tending to our bodies and minds to find peace, purpose, and connection in our lives. But as Daaji, spiritual leader of the Heartfulness Organization and fourth in line to the raja yoga tradition illuminates, there is a third system we too often overlook: The Spiritual Anatomy.

Acting as a sort of atlas for consciousness, the chakras—the centers of spiritual energy that comprise our spiritual anatomy—lead us back to our hearts, ourselves, and the sustainable happiness and meaning we crave. Along the way readers will learn:

– The role and importance of the chakras;

-What blocks our chakras and how to clean them;

-Meditation techniques that bring you closer to the heart’s center;

-How connecting deeply with our chakras can open our hearts, minds, and souls.

As grounding as it is groundbreaking, Spiritual Anatomy is a must-read for seekers, meditators, and anyone who wants to cultivate joy in their life.

Talking about the book Daaji says ‘I refer to the grand journey as the spiritual anatomy project. In Sanskrit, the yatra is a sacred journey to the centre within, and you, the traveller, are the abhyasi, the one who practices. No one can force you on the yatra or compel you to meditate, but when you do, the heart sets out to speak to you, and you will learn to master the exceptional ability to listen and muster the courage to abide by the heart’s innate wisdom.’

 

Poulomi Chatterjee, Publisher at HarperCollins India adds, ‘Daaji’s profound words and calm influence have changed many million lives over the years. It’s a privilege and pleasure to be publishing what is perhaps his most impactful book yet. Spiritual Anatomy is what every reader needs today – an effective tool that aids self-awareness, mindful discipline and harnessing one’s own energy to love better, think better and do better. This book is a transformative experience and I can’t wait for readers to discover its power.’
