Unfolding the Goddess Within There is an excellent book titled "Yogini - Unfolding the Goddess Within" by Shambhavi Lorain Chopra (Publisher: Wisdom Tree, New Delhi http://www.wisdomtreeindia.com/ ). Shambhavi means serenity (sham) and the beauty of being (bhava) that humans dream about. No wonder that her book is a playground of the immortals where earthly cares disappears like dust. She gathers the blossoms of divinity that live in the cusp of her deep being - her experiences with the play of Shakti arising as inner impulses or inspirations. She expresses her self-discovery in the unprocessed ore of her simple prose that enriches the mind in universality and becomes a compelling transformation of the riptide of the spiritual realm. Contents of her excellent book include: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11.
Anubhava, Inner Experience, Leads Me to Ma Tara Shiva Brings Transcendence into My Life Shakti Sadhana Creates My Scared Space Bhakti Yoga: The Strains of Love Tantric Rhythms of the Cosmos Timelessness of Life and Death on the Ghats of Kashi Angels, Devas and Higher Frequencies Siddhas, Yogis and Sadhakas Ma Kali, Mahaprakriti, the Beautiful Goddess Jai Ma Guru Kamakhya and Beyond
Her personal experiences in the book become the surging river of contemplation, when we resolve to cross the waters and abandon the limitations of physical existence so that now and then, here and beyond, become the purest of shadows in the harmony of body and mind, stillness and movement, you and me, and the Universe and me.
