Demystifying Kundalini
Published by Life Positive, January 2011
First, a disclosure. Santosh happens to be a friend of mine. Having said that I would still
recommend this book strongly to those on the kundalini path.
Santosh and I shared a meditation teacher, Justice Dudhat, who taught a form of deep breath-
ing and meditation practice called Brahma Vidya. Many of those who pursued this practice with
any form of dedication were rewarded with a kundalini awakening. All around me, people’s
chakras were popping awake like so many mushrooms. Friends would talk about the discomfort
of having the energy stuck in one particular chakra or the tornados of energy whirling inside,
or the euphoria of having their heart chakra open. At meditation, they reported many visions
and experiences. To me, a dogged pursuer of the jnana path, all this sounded alien and even a
little intimidating.

Caution: Hairpin Bend Ahead

In August 1995, I was introduced by
a friend to a course in self—develop-
ment conducted by late Justice ML
Dudhat. The course comprised Of lec-
tures, scientific spiritual breathing exer-
cises, and affirmations. My life, for the
last decade, had passed through a series
Of crisis-filled events. course seemed
like a peaceful, healing exercise. Little did

maelstrom that would rip apart the very
fabric Of my existence, shatter every belief
system, propel me into the most amaz-

being I could not even have remotely
imagined I could be.
As I started the course I was consumed
With a strange inner compulsion to mas-

intensity With which I moved into the
practice awakened the sleeping kun-
dalini with an earth-shattering explo-
sion, akin to a cloudburst and blinding

Into The Vortex
Published by Life Positive, January 2005
Chakras are very subtle and high-
powered vortices of energy, which
receive the cosmic prana and act as
transformers to reduce the voltage, so
that it can be used by the different
organs and parts of the body. As well as
providing the prana for specific areas
and functions of the body, they can also
be used as trigger-points for awakening
the higher faculties and dimensions of
consciousness,” says Swami Niranjan-
ananda Saraswati in Prana Pranayama
Prana Vidya.
Chakras are located in the etheric
body. The etheric body is a transmit-
ter and receiver of telepathic impulses
of an intuitive, mental or emotional
nature; and it provides the channel for
the physically focused consciousness to register the subtler worlds. “The etheric body is a body composed entirely of
lines of force and of points where these
lines of force cross each other and thus
form (in crossing) centres of energy,”
says Alice Bailey.
Walking The Path In Companionship
Published by Life Positive, October 2003
It is this tendency that gets enhanced
through satsangs, creating emotional
energy, strength, even faith and trust.
You are either going up spiritually or
you are going down—there is no such
thing as remaining in stasis. Satsangs
reverse the process of entropy.”
The role of the guru
It is here that the presence of the guru, for those groups lucky enough to have one, is all-important. The guru is the embodiment of our goal, the role model for behaviour, attitude and values, and our guide and support on the way.

Creative Kundalini

Creative Kundalini
Meditating with her guru, Santosh Sachdeva underwent a series of extraordinary experiences
with the activation of her Kundalini. She kept a detailed, illustrated diary of each
stage in her journey, which has now been collated in a significant book that
can serve as a reference map on the ‘Kundalini journey’.
I see a crown of chakras on my head.
They rotate in different directions
Looking back, I notice that until now, I was drawing a
complete head of my figure in meditation. Now, the
heads are open at the top signifying a fully operating
Sahasrar chakra.
The divinity of my Guru is brought to my
knowledge time and again.

Kundalini Uncoiled

When the kundalini is awakened, the positive and
the negative aspects in an individual will be magni-

In The Name Of The Mother
Savvy, April 2000
Santosh Sachdeva, a student of spirituality and author of a book on mental physics called, ‘Conscious Flight into the Empyrean’, also insists that spirituality is not an excuse for escapism. She says, “I have had friends who have neglected their families to attend spiritual classes but one can be truly at peace with oneself only if one has done his/her duty. Even Gautam Buddha realised that a person doesn’t have to leave his home and family to gain realisation. Putting your soul into whatever you do is what gives most fulfilment.”

It is called Mental Physics and is a meditation course conducted by Justice Mt Dudhat of the Mumbai High Court. Inspired by it, Santosh Sachdeva stoned a journey of self-discovery and has written a book called Conscious Flight into The Empyrean. The book is a visual journey in meditation and talks about a fantastic world within us where pillars of light flower within, snakes twirl on top of your head and you travel through tunnels of light. This is an un-folding of the kunclalini energy and the at book challenges conventional experiences and perception. Are the perceptions presented in the book real? The author invites the brave hearted on a journey of self discovery.

What Do I Live For?
Life Positive, 1998
I believe that I completed my karmic
cycle in my last birth. While in medita-
tion. I remember seeing myself as a happy
farmer boy to whom Brahma holds out his
hands. and who willingly enters them.
As a child, I don’t remember wanting
anything. During my stay at Mussoorie, I
was used to swamis visiting our house. I
was initiated into a Shiva mantra and the
Gayatri mantra early in life.
At 20, I was attracted to a guy Who
was involved with another girl. Nothing
much came of it. I remember missing the
guy but I wasn’t devastated. I don’t know
why people cry when they part. For me,
out of sight is out of mind. What matters
is the present.

Book Reviews - Conscious Flight Into The Empyrean
By: Subhamoy Das Source: Www.Hinduism.About.Com
This is nothing like I have ever read before. It’s an amazing book on meditation… a first-hand life-changing experience retold in every detail in the form of a journal, with supporting illustrations on every page by the author herself.
The first chapter traces the author’s life through childhood, youth and family along with life’s joys, traumas and tragedies till the point when she joined the course of ‘Mental Physics’ in 1995 that changes her life forever.
Mrs. Sachdeva takes to meditation and in a flash she is catapulted into a world where pillars of light flower within, twinkling stars encircle her form, snakes twirl on top of her head, and invisible hands clean out the inside of her head with tiny brushes and other instruments.
Written in simple narrative style with meticulous details that bring forth the author’s sense of wonder as the series of visions unfurl inside her self.
She travels through tunnels of light, has brief glimpses of past lives, and zooms into the incredible experience of oneness with the universe, becoming the sky, the river and the sea! This rare depiction of the visual unfolding of the Kundalini energy challenges conventional views of perception and experience.
These touching revelations of mystical experience take you on an extraordinary voyage into the subtle realms of the higher self. It is authentic as well as illuminating – a true story of self-realization written in first person by an ordinary woman of our times. You got to believe it… very few realize it! But it happens… it can happen to you!
