“In clear and thoughtful prose, Suparna combines metaphysical reflection with the spirit of a self-help manual. Above all, she invites us to remember that the slow journey of an idea from intellect to bloodstream can be a deeply worthwhile one. Here is a reminder that abstraction doesn't have to be abstruse. That philosophy can be pragmatic. That a concept – when deeply internalized – can become a powerful catalyst for change.” —Arundhathi Subramaniam Sahitya Akademi Award-winning Poet & Writer “While writing the book Suparna was personally impacted by Adi Shankara’s teachings, as she states. She aims to make the reader also undergo a similar state of well-being of the body, mind and soul. The snippets presented from the vast work of Adi Shankara are bound to make the reader wish to explore. The book is a great introduction to the works of Adi Shankara.” —Veena Sharma Author of Advaita Vedanta and Akan
