What does this book offer?
‘Sanyas In The City’ has much to say about transcending the mind boundaries free from ego to practice liberation and being omnipresent in urbanized life. Adhering to the SIX gunas of sanyasi, one must enact the society’s emancipation.
The author (s) strongly believe in the concept of attaining an urban monk attitude through yogic practices and thereby upholding the Body-Soul connection. However, with vast available yogic practices, we fall prey to perplexity about the path of salvation and solitude. Beyond the demands of materialistic pleasure, this book is an immaculate mentor.
Book Motif..!?!
Spread across seven chapters, this book deals with spiritual path finding plus a storehouse of knowledge and wisdom. Authors offer tools, self-assessment techniques, examples, and practices for readers that are viable and equally adaptable in day-to-day life.
My take…!!!
With self-perception as a key ingredient, authors weave a meaningful path well-stuffed with use cases, yogic practices, and exercises. As an addendum, the authors emphasize mental wellness and mind control.
My favorite chapter is Spiritual Consciousness and Realistic Manifestation, which I spent most of my reading time on. The author(s) deduce yogic well-being and states of consciousness beyond the caste and religious rituals. I thank the author(s) for furnishing the Soul Mind Kriya framework for the readers’ benefit.
Conclusion..!!
Sanyas In The City is about finding salvation in the chaotic urban life through respectable practices and rituals accentuating well-being. This is an ought book for every individual seeking peace and inner freedom.
This isn’t another shelved Self-help book; this is a path-finding toolkit towards body/soul liberation, delving into the clutches of urbanization.
