Dr Mansukh Mandaviya said, “Heartfulness is a science that helps us connect within and understand the power within. When we try to master knowledge, we reflect it in others, which is precisely how Daaji has been shining his light passed down from his Guru.”

Drawing from his background as both a contemporary spiritual master and a former pharmacist in New York City, Daaji has approached this timeless dialogue of the ancient Ashtavakra Gita as a living, practical protocol for human healing and modern leadership.

“Twenty-six centuries ago, a sage named Ashtavakra wrote a prescription for the human heart, with five medicines, taken in order, each preparing the system for the next,” writes Daaji. “This book is an attempt to fill those prescriptions.” In this new work, Daaji unpacks a singular, revolutionary verse from the ancient text in which Sage Ashtavakra answers King Janaka’s questions about attaining liberation and peace.
