Description

India is a land where spiritual masters and mystics have blossomed from time to time, sharing their spiritual experience and knowledge for the benefit of all. They have explored a variety of spiritual, religious, and philosophical dimensions to unravel the meaning of existence and the significance of life.

This book sheds light on a rarely studied aspect of Indian spirituality—its women mystics. It presents the life of a master mystic, Shiva Yogini Amma, a woman who embarked on an extraordinary spiritual journey. The book chronicles her life from birth to her attainment of nirvikalpa samadhi and beyond, highlighting her teachings and unique spiritual realization.

It delves into her understanding of spiritual concepts such as form and formlessness, maya, and reality. The book also explains how she used the body and mind to achieve spiritual goals. Based on the recollections of Satyananda Yogini, one of her first female disciples, the narrative explores life in Shiva Yogini Amma’s ashram—her daily activities, spiritual trances, interactions with disciples, and yoga teachings.

This book is an insightful resource for anyone interested in spirituality, mysticism, or the study of Indian spiritual traditions.
