Finding Answers through Sadhana- Spiritual Practice

'Inner Quest' is a book for anyone who is seeking something that is `missing' in one's life, in spite of a `successful' life with all material possessions and satisfying relationships. In spite of worldly happiness, one may experience an inner disquiet which keeps on growing. One may not know what he/she is seeking. Scant answers can be found from many sources, but the seeker is not satisfied and wants to know more. This is the beginning of the inner quest. The book gives a plan based on the Himalayan tradition. Step-by step practice leading to a spiritual journey and inner calm can help the seeker find answers. Daily practice of breathing exercises, meditation, self-awareness and study of scriptures are all suggested. Power of will and determination will make the journey easier. The practice is not difficult, but there should be a commitment to it. Realizing one's true identity comes from spiritual revelation, which is the goal of the practice. The book describes a very serious subject in lucid, readable style. The whole book is in a question and answer form, so it is easy to go back to a question to re-read the answer. The answers do become clearer after reading more than once. Spiritual path and sainthood are broadly defined in Eastern philosophy. Every step in the right direction takes one closer to the desired goal. The goal of all goals is ecstasy of the spirit.

Excellent introduction or refresher

Pandit Tigunait offers a clear, uncompromising, and easily assimilated approach to sadhana--spiritual practice--in this book. I have had the honor to meet and work with Pandit Tigunait, and I'm happy to report he is as down to earth, direct, and positive as his writing. A great introduction to the yoga path, and a good refresher for those who have been practicing a while. Very readable!
