From Change to Transformation & Beyond

Why did I embark on the journey of transformation? I would like to share with you a unique experience I had in my quest for self discovery which led me to embark on the journey:

As a teenager, I became involved in Gandhi’s “Quit India” freedom movement in 1944, and helped in our efforts to prepare communities for the mass migration of population when freedom came. I served as a community organizer for our community and remained involved for the next four years. We mobilized the masses to get involved in the struggle for our freedom using non-violent agitation techniques, similar to the ones used by Martin Luther King Jr. in this country to free his people from the bondage of discrimination (It is an obscure fact of history that before Dr. King started his movement, he made a pilgrimage to India to learn about Gandhian techniques of nonviolent agitation).

As the movement picked up steam, I became very involved and would not come home for days, partly because of the urgency of the situation, and partly because the police were looking for me as a troublemaker and agitator. in the early part of 1947, when my turn came to agitate openly, I was addressing a throng of five hundred people. The police raided the rally and quickly whisked me away. Subsequently, I was imprisoned for six months and released only a few months before the dawn of freedom in India.

While in prison, I had an opportunity to think about my future and what I was going to do with my life when I returned to school. I had learned a simple meditation technique from my mentor, the leader of our group. After one of my meditation practice sessions, I developed an inner awareness of a new vision of my future. The outlines of this vision started to emerge as the time of release from the prison drew near. I knew then that I was going to devote my life to helping others. This transformation had a lifetime impact on me and continues to serve as a guidepost in my life ever since.

The Uniqueness of Transformational Approach to Self Help

I have written this book to share with you the experiences I have had in my journey towards transformation and eventual balance. The approach outlined in this book is unique because it is based on the universal spiritual principles to help you create life style changes based upon the laws of nature.

Since changes are inevitable, they can be adaptive and in moments of reflection, they can transform into life style changes leading to balance in your life. In order to accomplish this goal, transformational approach enables you to:

Bring spirituality in day to day affairs of your life by incorporating the belief in the unity of all living beings and that we are all connected with each other
Establish ‘Oneness’ within yourself by bringing into alignment the internal capabilities of thoughts and feelings and external capabilities of words and action to start the process of change.
Create present moment inner awareness to capture the moment of reflection in making transformational changes by the practice of mindfulness meditation.
Develop an understanding of the process involved in the evolution of change into transformation and how transformation produces lifelong changes.
Enable you to tame your gremlins, the "mind monsters" which sabotage your creativity and help you to learn techniques to overcome your personal and work related stress.

This outline of transformational self-help perspective for enabling you to attain balance in your life is a spiritually based approach and incorporates unique ideas drawn from the wisdom of all the major spiritual traditions of the world. Although this book can be can be helpful in enhancing large realm of personal development, the material in this book will specifically be helpful to those who are motivated to realize their dreams of success and have tried many different approaches without much success and wish to rediscover their potential for success by tapping into their inner resources through this spiritual approach as a personal guide.
