She walks this path with deep gratitude to three Divine Masters.

- With gratitude to Lord Hanuman. For the lesson of soul awareness, which she has been learning since 2019 through Immortal Talks and the experiences of her own life. This journey led her to collaborate with her husband, Bhargava Reddy, in recording, editing and publishing the teachings for a wider audience.

Keep the book beside you for all 25 days
Each evening, we explore one chapter of Immortal Talks by Shunya together. When you read the chapter before the session, the questions begin working on you early, and the live session goes deeper. Many seekers find the book becomes a companion long after the course ends. They return to a chapter whenever a question stays with them.
The book is available in English and Hindi. Choose the language you think and feel in.
For the full 25-day journey in English, you will need both books: Parts 1 and 2, and Part 3.
