- Rishi Chidananda beautifully shares his personal journey from being a successful investment banker and entrepreneur to being called onto a mystical path as a monk. By studying the philosophical traditions of India and gaining deep insights into their hidden meaning, he articulates timeless practices that are particularly relevant in this day.
- He discusses the three obstacles of walking a spiritual path and how to overcome them: love, when we meet resistance from our family and loved ones; karma, inherited through lifetimes of cause and effect; and Source, when we are tested by the universe. Through daily spiritual practice, service, and being part of a community of like-minded people and teachers, we are able to support and strengthen the awakening process.
- “The truth is one, but the wise describe it in many ways.” - Rishi goes beyond the confines of any one religion or philosophy to help us gain an understanding of spirituality which we can integrate into our daily lives, helping us find peace wherever we are in life.
