Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am a physician and am presently working as a Professor of Medicine at the Himalayan Institute of Medical Sciences, Dehradun, India. I experienced the spontaneous awakening of the ‘kundalini’ or the primal energy after Sahaja yoga meditation in 1996. It was a spine-chilling and awe-inspiring experience which is unknown to medical field. It motivated me to explore further the spiritual basis of life. With steadfast perseverance and dedicated application, I succeeded in unfolding the mysteries of supernatural powers. I have been experimenting with various powers like hypnotism, extrasensory perception, energy transfer and distant healing. I thought of sharing my experiences with others and documented them in the form of 2 books.
1. The Midnight Awakening (Rupa);
Anant Ki Khoj (Ahymsin), the Hindi version of The Midnight Awakening
2. Snippets from the Subconscious (Self-published)
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book is “Snippets from the Subconscious”. For past many years, I had been experimenting with hypnosis, and was a witness to the amazing secrets of the subconscious mind. I found that one may be able to extract information concerning the past, present and future by gaining entry into the subconscious. Moreover, there was compelling evidence that the past, present and future exist as a continuum simultaneously. I observed that hypnosis could be immensely helpful in managing common conditions like stress and pain faced in day to day life. So I thought of sharing my unique experiences concerning hypnosis with others and documented them in my latest book.
