What if the deepest spiritual awakening does not happen in a cave or monastery—but in the middle of ordinary life?
Sanātana Dharma – Lived Experience, Volume III: Shakti Living
Power, Devotion, Courage, and the Feminine Evolution of Consciousness
Not all spiritual journeys begin with belief. Some begin with an unexplained inner shift—moments where the sense of self briefly disappears, where inner images become strangely alive, where action continues but the doer fades, and where consciousness opens with a force too real to dismiss and too vast to fully hold.
This book is the third volume of Sanatana Dharma: A Lived Experience series of five volumes.
This is not a book of borrowed philosophy or secondhand spirituality. It is the unfolding of a lived journey in which spirituality emerges directly through life itself—through relationships, conflict, devotion, attraction, responsibility, suffering, courage, and silent inner transformation.
At the heart of this volume is Shakti—not merely as mythology or worship, but as a living force experienced through emotion, sensitivity, endurance, love, power, and awakening. Here, worldly life is not rejected. It becomes the very field through which consciousness evolves.
As the journey deepens, ordinary experience gradually opens into something extraordinary: dream-state awakenings, dissolving identity, guiding inner presences, nondual awareness, and finally a powerful tantric-style kundalini awakening that marks the beginning of the Shiva phase of life.
Rather than teaching rigid methods or spiritual ideology, Shakti Living invites readers into a different way of seeing—where life itself becomes the practice, where awareness grows through participation rather than escape, and where transformation unfolds naturally when deeply observed.
Blending lived mystical experience, Sanātana Dharma, tantra, kundalini, devotion, philosophy, and psychological depth, this volume offers a rare spiritual narrative grounded not in theory alone, but in direct experience.
Perhaps the most unsettling possibility explored in this book is this:
the extraordinary may already be hidden inside the ordinary—waiting not to be created, but recognized.
Premyogi Vajra is not a conventional teacher—he is a direct explorer of consciousness whose work arises from lived experience rather than formal scholarship or institutional teaching.
Author of more than 60 books in Hindi and English, his writing spans a wide spectrum of inquiry into spirituality, inner awareness, and human perception. Yet, his work is not rooted in abstract theory—it emerges from direct observation and practical exploration of consciousness itself.
His journey into inner transformation has been shaped by deep meditation, tantric understanding, and what he calls practical spiritual research—an approach that places experience above belief. Along this path, he has encountered profound states of awareness, including moments where the sense of individuality dissolves into a unified field of consciousness—states often described in yogic traditions as samadhi.
He has undergone two significant awakenings. The first unfolded spontaneously in a dream state during adolescence. The second arose through deliberate and systematic yogic practice in his forties. He has also reached states approaching keval kumbhak—the spontaneous suspension of breath—associated with nirvikalpa samadhi. Yet, he remains grounded in the understanding that such realization is not fully stabilized, and continues his practice with sincerity and dedication.
Rather than following rigid systems or borrowed doctrines, his path has been intuitive and experiential—focused on directly perceiving truth rather than adopting it from external authorities.
Beyond his inner explorations, Premyogi Vajra lives a balanced and grounded life. He has a deep interest in organic farming and animal welfare, reflecting his connection with nature and sustainable living. He enjoys meaningful cinema with his family, often combining it with travel and shared experiences.
His journeys are not merely recreational—they are driven by curiosity, observation, and a desire to understand life in its diverse expressions. In his quieter moments, he turns to music, playing the flute, harmonium, and guitar. Reading and writing remain his inborn passions.
Through his work, he does not seek followers, nor does he promote fixed doctrines. Instead, he extends an invitation—
to question, to explore, and to discover truth directly.
This book is one such invitation.
