The dream-like visions presented by Santosh Sachdeva are very good, and they represent the blessings of the Masters to this generation. Tapasvis like Mahavatar Babaji, who have been engaged in ascetic practices for hundreds of years in the mountains in India, can thus enlighten any jiva. Yet there are hundreds of thousands of beings to choose from, and at least thousands of Sadhus who can be so blessed. The reason for her being singled out for this honour is that she too has been a part of the stream of Sadhus life afterlife, and this is the culmination of her own Punya karma involving hundreds of years of Sadhana. Every single atom of her body has become receptive to the teachings of the Masters, and this book is the result. This is the rarest of rare occurrences, a Maha durlabh (rarerest of rare) yoga in the physical world. I suggest, therefore, that she diligently continues this practice to illustrate the workings of the Kundalini.

Santosh radiates a unified presence, the hallmark of fully actualised Kundalini experience. Her writings are the outcome of many years of Kundalini experience. In this modern world, there are many would-be gurus, some half-baked and some hardly baked at all. True and authentic masters are rare indeed. As you read these rich pages, you will encounter a true and authentic master of Kundalini experience. I encourage you to be grateful for what you have found and to celebrate your most fortunate experience. It is said that when the student is ready, the master comes. If you are reading this book, you are ready. Now, simply open yourself to the authentic master who has come. In doing so, you will come to know Santosh Sachdeva as the adept that she is and you will inevitably love her, as do I, for all that she embodies and so selflessly shares. It is said that the true guru is the one who takes you from the darkness of ignorance into the light of truth. It is my sincere hope that you will flower within this experience. May Santosh Ms shower you with her many blessings while you are reading this most masterful book.

From the Foreword to Kundalini Meditation – Volume 1

H. H. Swami Vivekananda Saraswati

“Who am I?” This is the question that set many masters on their spiritual journey. Renowned sage Ramana Maharshi has answered this question very beautifully: “The physical body, its vital functions, the mind and the state of deep sleep are not “I”. “I” is the knowledge that alone remains after negating all of the above …nature of which is sat-chit-ananda.” No one answered it better. But what actually matters is individual experience in these realms. This varies from person to person and also with the path one chooses – that of knowledge, devotion, or action. I should say Santoshji had the blessings of her Guru accompanying her throughout these commendable practices and experiences. A Guru can guide us through words, deeds, mere presence, or even an awareness of he/she ‘being there’. I am happy that our friend, Santosh Sachdeva, is one of those luckiest few who could ask the question and experience the answer. This book Who am I? is a guide to the infinite possibilities hidden in us and the larger spiritual scape that opens with self-discovery.

The illustrations of the workings of the ascending Kundalini energy are unique and unprecedented. In all the history and all the literature about the Kundalini, there has never been anything like this in detail and delineation of the actual processes. This is a large claim, but a valid one. The book is full of such practical experiential wisdom for all those who are on the path of meditation and Kundalini. It is also worth emphasizing again that another person’s experience will never be precisely duplicated in your meditations, but the book outlines the broad general principles within which you can easily find your specific individual context. Nowhere is this more clear than in the reaction to the manuscript that came from a practitioner of Peruvian shamanism. It just emphasized the point made in Volume II that these experiences are not Hindu or yogic but universal. Indeed, such experiences are almost generic to the mystical tradition, the differences being not in the actual experiences but in interpretations thereof. This is understandable. On a personal note, I wish to conclude with my own testimony as to the worth of this book. Between Volumes II and III something astonishing happened. My spiritual practices, spotty and sporadic then, caused my own Kundalini to awaken and begin its processes. I might add, I was apparently the least likely person this could happen to. Santosh’s book was of incalculable value to me in that it clarified many experiences before they could even begin to darken into doubts and fears. The loneliness of the person who has an active Kundalini cannot be grasped, for normal people either do not understand or are dismissive. The experiences of Santosh however, were a great map to navigate by. I think I was spared all the natural worry that the sheer enormity of the event engenders, and could just relax and enjoy what was unfolding. There is simply no doubt that Santosh’s pioneering work made the path easy for me.

From the Preface to Kundalini Awakening

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. She offers her expertise to you through her second book Kundalini Meditation – Questions and Answers, Vol. 2. Her credentials for the task are impeccable. Santosh herself went through a Kundalini awakening and recorded her experiences meticulously in previous books. That apart, she has been studying the import of her experience through reading available literature. Most important of all, the awakening has manifested into peace, wisdom, and understanding. The book gives ample evidence of all three qualities. The perspective she offers is flawless. For instance: to a question on what causes the Kundalini shakti to get active, she says, “Kundalini can awaken naturally… if one lives a well-balanced life …” The sound common sense, the equable tone, and the caring guidance all add up to an exceptionally useful book for the Kundalini aspirant.

Experiences narrated in the book are but manifestations of the all-pervading eternal spirit.

An important piece of inspired writing. I have carefully gone through this book and its captivating illustrations. The net effect has been a sense of joy and amazement. This is the more remarkable because she has not travelled to the forests or the Himalayas and because awakening the Kundalini is not usually described by women. The author is a gentle and authentic person… indeed the recipient of the Divinity’s very special gifts and graces. Her humility and openness run true. It is my pleasure to warmly recommend the book to anybody who can still be fascinated by the mysterious treasures hidden in the interaction of self and Self.
