Shivani talks about Lessons from the Master:"Back in 1976, in my search for excellence and personal growth, I picked up a book that was outside my usual frame of reference as a suburban wife, mother and psychologist. That book was Autobiography of a Yogi by Parmahansa Yogananda. Maybe you've read it? Within the pages of this book Yogananda described a being and teacher named Babaji, the Master of Masters, a teacher who would appear and disappear to the world . . . a teacher for the true student of spirituality. The whole story sounded like a fairy tale to me. Two years later, I found myself sitting next to Babaji in the foothills of the Himalayas. It is true that when you are ready, the teacher appears."
"For six years from 1978 to 1984, I studied with Babaji, traveling to India twice a year for one to four months. It was a hard training and he was a tough teacher. However, I got to study under one of the greatest healers of our time. He taught very simple tools to love and heal ourselves and to manifest our heart's desires. He gave a simple tool to calm the mind and to create peace inside. And he taught people from all different races, cultures, religions, countries and economic backgrounds how to live together in peace and harmony. Once I had embraced his teachings, beautiful things began unfolding in my life, often feeling like miracles. Not only had most of the desires I held at the time I met Babaji been fulfilled within a few years of meeting him, he also helped me save my own life. Without his teaching, I probably wouldn't be alive today. I have written this book so that you don't have to travel
all the way to the Himalayas and go through all the experiences that
I did to gain the wisdom and blessings. In this book, you can learn
all the lessons I learned from this wise master and reap the benefits
of a happy, prosperous and fulfilling life."
