See all formats and editions
These five speeches impart the teachings of the Siddha Yoga path for modern seekers with eloquence, erudition, and compassionate humor, making an ancient tradition deeply engaging and vibrantly alive. Each talk, originally addressed to a global audience as a traditional greeting to the new year in the period 1995–1999, offers guidance—both practical and philosophical—for progressing on the spiritual path in today's world and living a noble and purposeful life. The book teaches with illustrative stories and anecdotes and urges all people to make the best use of their lives, to discover the divinity in their own hearts, and to let the joy of the divine suffuse the world.

5.0 out of 5 stars "With Great Respect, With Great Love" ~ Blazing The Trail Of Equipose
Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2011

What better way to start out a New Year than with a introspective, loving message on life, time and the divine nature within. Siddha guru and master Gurumayi Chidvilasanda delivers just such a message in `Sadana of the Heart', a collection of five New Years talks delivered to a group of Siddha yoga students from 1995 through 1999 at the Shree Muktananda Ashram in South Fallsburg, New York.

Gurumayi begins each presentation with the phrase "With great respect, with great love", a phrase that isn't just some platitude, but a heartfelt desire that exudes from every word placed on the printed page. Gurumayi's words will immediately strike the reader with both their simplicity and intimacy, putting you at ease and into an almost meditative state. The goal of this book is to provide the reader with an evening of joy and interior celebration so no need to take notes here, just go with the flow and enjoy the blissful energy sent your way from the heart and mind of Gurumayi.

'Sadana of the Heart' is a profound meditation providing hope, strength, and encouragement, a beautiful guidebook for those on the path to enlightenment. This is definitely a book you will return to again and again for spiritual sustenance.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sadhana of the Heart is an Awesome book!
Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2007

I have been reading this book and using the study guide for it chapter by chapter. I have just finished reading the chapter "Wake up to your inner courage and become steeped in divine contentment" I can honestly say a shift has happened within me. I feel more centered, calm, and trusting that I am with God and God is with me.

Some part of me use to always "worry" that I wasn't doing enough. If I was doing one thing, I always felt I "should" be doing something else. Now I feel that I am grounded in what I "am" doing and it is where I need to be. Also, I don't have to do it all in one day. I can see that if I do a little each day, it all gets done.

If you truly study and imbibe this book, be prepared for change in your life!

5.0 out of 5 stars A magic carpet ride to your own inner beauty
Reviewed in the United States on April 1, 2007
I'm reading slow to savor every wise word of this poetic book. Every page, including the intro, is filling me with the clarity and peace.

It's a magic carpet ride to your own inner beauty.
