Spiritual Anatomy: Meditation, Chakras, and the Journey to the Center

A path-breaking book for all enthusiasts of Spirituality! It depicts in simple terms how the soul practically travels back to the Source in an ‘inventure’. Since you are reading this, I’m sure, you are familiar with or knowledgeable about the 7 chakras in a human body – a concept that has been existing right from the Vedic period of 1500-500 BCE. Much has been written and researched on these chakras. What this book reveals is far beyond the traditional chakras and it identifies a total of 16 chakras in the human body. The author, Daaji, derives inspiration from his own Master’s treatises on spirituality and explains in commoner’s language how to precisely locate them in the body. Rather than delve deep into the theoretical aspects and complex terminologies, the book keeps a single-minded focus on the journey of the soul back to its original Source. It describes how you can realize your true potential by elevating your consciousness, with a balanced appraoch to both material and spiritual life. Daaji helps you figure out your “as-is” state through a simple questionnaire which could be used at any time to measure how far you have travelled in the transformation inventure. He divides the journey into 3 Regions: Heart, Mind and Central. It is a surprise to note that the Heart is not represented by just one chakra but the region has a constellation of 5 chakras characterized by “duality”. The Mind region has 7 chakras some of which have not been traditionally reported earlier. One has to carefully note that only attributes such as Selflessness, Surrender and Humility help you navigate the Mind region. The Central Region has just one chakra but has 7 rings of splendor and the soul is then supposed to keep on swimming towards the Infinity. Surprisingly, the lower 3 chakras (Moolaadhaar, Swadishtana and Manipura) have not been considered as a part of the road map, since the system believes that energy from the higher chakras naturally flows down and nourishes them anyway. Each of the other 13 chakras has been elucidated in detail with respect to its condition, what one experiences, how to work on them and how to mitigate the possible challenges that may arise, before moving on to the next chakra. Of course, there is an abundant caution that the journey is not a linear one and all the chakras are interconnected and they have mutual influence over the others. There is a “Do and Feel” section where the author describes the Heartfulness practices and how they practically help one undertake the transformational journey. It also explains how the karmic samskaras are formed and how they condition our emotions. I smiled when I read “If you think the Center is far out of reach and wonder, if you need to know all this, you do. You belong there. It is the rightful place, and your real inheritance awaits you.” Wow. Such encouragement! What are you waiting for? A long journey starts with a single step. Ready, Set, Go!!

I have just finished my first reading of the book ‘Spiritual Anatomy’ by Kamlesh Patel, ( Daaji) , Global Guide of Heartfulness Movement. My first reaction as I read the book, was ‘As an Indian, as a Hindu, I had no knowledge of the Chakras in the human system. What a revelation this book is! ‘ As I continued reading it I could not help thinking, ‘ Every Indian, every Hindu, who claims to be follower of Sanatana Dharma, probably should have knowledge the Chakra System.’ But really speaking Daaji’s writing goes much beyond the scope of the seven traditional Chakras and even the traditionalists would appreciate the new ideas beyond the ancient concepts contained in this book. As one continues to read, the simplicity of the ideas and language, backed by serious research, keeps one fascinated. But when I really reflect, I have no doubt, that this book goes beyond narrow channels of religion, culture community etc. It’s applicability is universal and in that I think lies the beauty of the book.

Wonderful
