It includes many easy and practical sadhanas for the aspirants who desire to follow the divine path while working and living in the world—the sadhanas picked up by the author by sitting at the feet of saints and seers like Bhagavan Raman Maharshi, Swami Sivananda Saraswati, Maharshi Mahesh Yogi and many others.
