ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

I bow down in boundless gratitude to the Creator of this beautiful world, solar system, and the universe who is the intelligence behind all that exists.

I bow down to the cosmic energy that gave rise to the sun, moon, stars, and all of nature. I bow down to Cosmic Consciousness who manifests as Souls from Mercury.

I bow down to all the five elements and the resulting five types of life force and vital airs in me without which I will not be here.

I bow down to all my ancestors and parents (my first Gurus) who blessed me with this healthy body and who gave me beautiful DNA and samskaras (i.e., good aptitudes) to be proud of.

I bow down in love and reverence to all the spiritual masters (whom I refer to as "Souls from Mercury herein) from the past, present, and future on whose shoulders I stood and spoke or wrote these words contained within this book. Special mention should be made to His Holiness Sri Sri Ganapathy Sachchidananda of Avadhootha Datta Peetham in Mysore, India, who as the Adi Guru Dattatreya, embodies all other teachers and Masters whose names are numerous. (I better not start this list or I will never finish).

I am so grateful to all my family, relatives, and friends who contributed with commitment and continue to help me in my physical, mental, and spiritual life.

I am also grateful to all the people that lived, are living, and will live in the future for whose needs this book was created. Special mention should be made to my dearest son Arvind Bharathi and his wife Tagrid Akl. They were the ones who requested that I summarize and share what I have been teaching all these years. Kudos to my son and his beautiful wife who contributed all the photographs—captured by them during their globe-trotting over the years — seen in this book.

I am grateful to Jack Pauley who wrote down my speeches in the nineties, Mona Nivose who compiled and edited them in the last decade, and Christina Theophilos who reviewed and commented on my work during the final review. This book would not have seen the light of day without their initiatives, drive, and even sometimes, the courage to push me to its completion.

Last but not least, I would like to thank all my students and my teachers (those out of the millions) which I divide into three categories: Those who taught me 1) what to do, what not to do, 2) what qualities to have and not have, 3) and what to be and not to be. Without these friends, I would not be what I am today.

And to the readers who are still my students, I say to you Feel and Grow Rich, contrary to what Napoleon Hill said, Think and Grow Rich.

FOREWORD

This book is a distilled product of all the author’s teachings provided to hundreds of seekers over many decades. Unlike many other books on chakras, which are either too technical or abstract for most people, this book relates knowledge of bioenergy chakras to common aspects of daily life like food, music, interpersonal relationships and to human values and evolution of life. Written in the style of question and answers, it serves as an easy to understand manual for living an effective and blissful life.

There cannot be a more appropriate time for this book to arrive. Currently, our consciousness is dominated by lop-sided gender identity. It is then no surprise that as society, we are dealing with issues of gender disparity and harassment, especially at work place. This imbalance in gender identity is partly a result of new-age paradigm of ‘Men are from Mars and Women from Venus’, as their neural functions are driven by either masculine or feminine energies. As author describes in this book, people representing ‘souls from Mercury’ have the proper balance of masculine and feminine energies. When this happens, the true spiritual evolution begins as dormant energy channels open up. The book also presents simple-to-follow processes to remove inner conflicts and various forms of psychosomatic stress, which is plaguing our society on an unprecedented scale. For over a decade, working in medical research field at both top- ranking hospital and academic cancer institute in United States, I have witnessed victims of stress in the form of patients, caregivers, researchers, trainees, physicians, nurses and other supporting staff. Thus, this book was released for the benefit of medical community by Dr. Sri Sri Ganapathi Sachchidananda Swamiji, on July 2019 in Dallas, Texas.

Overall, this book belongs to all the demographics, irrespective of nationality, religion, occupation, gender and age. The esoteric knowledge shared in this book is the genuine expression of author’s love to this world.

MY VOYAGE THROUGH LIFE IN A NUT SHELL

I was born during the tenth precious day of the sacred Navarathri ten- day festival in India known as Vijaya Dashami (meaning victory to Divine Mother). This happens in the month of October and celebrated all over India. There was already one older sister in the family by the name of Sita who is a great musician, has sung as a Class A artist in All India Radio and lives in India. My parents performed many spiritual rituals in order to be blessed with the birth of a great divine soul in their family, and when the baby boy was born the entire family rejoiced. My parents gave me the name Raja Ram
