Many great books have explored the ancient art of yoga, and today thousands around the world practice its teachings. Yet finding and meeting a contemporary realized yogi living in a permanent state of samadhi is almost impossible.
In 1861, the legendary sage Mahavatar Babaji initiated a modest clerk, Lahiri Mahasaya, into the secret art of Kriya Yoga — a practice later brought to the global stage by Paramahansa Yogananda through his beloved classic
Autobiography of a Yogi.
Awakener by Katia Mossin carries that living tradition forward into the 21st century, introducing Shailendra Sharma — the Fifth Guru of the Kriya Yoga lineage — a modern yogi whose extraordinary life shows how this powerful practice still transforms hearts and minds in the 21st century.
Written for contemporary spiritual seekers, this authorized biography follows Shailendra Sharma’s extraordinary journey through mystical initiation, fearless rebellion, and profound mastery. It draws on the author’s many years of close discipleship and personal dialogs with her Guru. Readers are invited deep into the world of authentic yoga, where knowledge is not abstract philosophy but a living force.
Awakener reveals a realized yogi’s remarkable insights on Creation, the consciousness of Time and the Void, the origin of Eternal Sound, the nature of the primordial elements, and the alchemy of yoga. Perhaps for the first time, the elusive state of samadhi is described here without the idealization so common in modern spiritual literature.
Shailendra Sharma’s vision extends beyond personal enlightenment, touching on humanity’s future and challenging our deepest assumptions about reality. This portrait of a contemporary Guru will shift your perspective — offering a rare window into authentic Eastern wisdom and a practical roadmap to spiritual awakening and liberation from the cycle of rebirth.
This book explores universal questions — what is the purpose of life? How can authentic spiritual practice help us navigate a world filled with distraction and uncertainty? Through vivid storytelling and rich philosophical insights,
Awakener answers these questions in a way that is both timeless and urgently relevant.
For readers inspired by Yogananda’s
Autobiography of a Yogi, Awakener stands as a powerful continuation — bridging the ancient wisdom of Kriya Yoga with the spiritual challenges of our own time. It offers inspiration, clarity, and a profound invitation to rediscover what it means to awaken.
