The search
“I genuinely believed I was one of the happiest people I knew. I had my religion, wonderful friends and family, and my new teaching career, teaching French and German near London. Because of my faith, I never imagined I would one day learn meditation.
Then I started writing songs, and something I had never felt before began to surface.”
India
“I bought a round-the-world ticket, planning to perform in Australia. A one-month stop-over in India became almost three years, after I met Guruji, Yogiraj Prakash Shankar Vyas.”
The book
“I used to scour the bookstores in Varanasi, India, but one day realised all the books were written by masters. In the end, Guruji asked me to write the book I’d been looking for: a book filled with his wisdom, written from the perspective of a beginner.”
“Kriya Yoga belongs on the bookshelf alongside classics like Autobiography of a Yogi, to be delved into again and again …”
