The concept of a WhatsApp book is novel in itself and in tune with today’s life and times. But what is even more so is the varied background of the persons who take part in the conversations and the intensity with which they discuss subjects. Twelve friends take part in the discussions and all of them are from the medical profession but follow different specializations. They live across the world from Australia to Delhi and Patiala to Italy ranging unto New Jersey. From this Spiritual Polyclinic in the Cloud emerges vibrant ideas that are worthy of much bigger names in spirituality. Interspersed is a lot of Poetry, Humour and personal statements… a very human document indeed. You would expect cacophony from this but surprisingly what emerges is coherent ideas well-articulated and skilfully argued. The author of this Unputdownable book is Dr. Pallavi Kwatra who is herself an Anaesthetist. She is an ardent devotee of Bhagawan Ramana Maharishi and is doing yeoman service to the Ramana Kendra in Delhi. I am sure this concept will catch on but imitators will have a hard time matching this effort in sheer quality and readability. P.N.Vijay Secretary Ramana Kendra, New Delhi. June 2016. P REFACE NINE MONTHS: F ROM I N V OLUTION TO E V OLUTION This is a unique book ever written in the present times. It is about a magnificent journey of not one, but a Group of Seekers from different corners of the globe who are plagued by many UNANSWERED QUESTIONS and SPIRITUAL RESTLESSNESS in their hearts. Amidst the drag of their real time life, they steal moments to log into their What’s app chat accounts and enter an amazing, virtual world of like-minded ones, to engage in animated discussions on Spirituality, Science, Religion and Philosophy, woven together in a single thread. 20 Years… An epoch of time in which life went through a whole circle… Friends prevailed; only to reunite on a platform purely destined as a sacred sojourn for each one here… with new wings…they learn to fly to uncharted lands…where each of them is on his own soul journey and yet they have a common goal. They all are on a QUEST…A pilgrimage unto themselves… the risk of the effort far outweighs the pain of never undertaking this trial. They cry, they laugh, they fight, they soar, they love, they fear, they roar. Just as a natal process results in the end point of birth, and during this time, life remains supported and growing, an unknown centripetal force brings together these seekers having the seed of spiritual restlessness, to birth anew into a cosmic womb. As a collective whole, they nourish themselves through the placental cord of an URBAN SATSANG that goes through a phenomenal process of involution for 9 months only to be delivered at the other end, ready to embark on their journeys to the beyond. In this cosmic magic of conversations, devotion is questioned by the scientific mind, and religion is dug to its nascent obsoleteness, philosophy Preface and quantum mechanics entwine and rewire the conditioned mind to renew its portals of perception. Spirituality here is a continuum of every possible belief and discovery and yet, it belongs not completely to any or all. Everything is interconnected…There is a beauty to this whole gamut…it breathes of life and pulsates within it…A desire for the soul’s final communion. These medical professionals who are at the peaks of succeses in their respective worlds pine for revelations that will soothe the ache of their souls. The strokes of grey in their hair has not dulled their brevity of a youth that has just fleeted past. Reuniting, after a span of 20 years, this symbiosis is ambience for their SPIRITUAL RENDZEVOUS where they come to pinnacles of realizations that shape, reshape and re model themselves; only to be shunned the very next day.Here, knowledge only triggers the truth of how much one has yet to know. These timeless souls undertake their EMBRYONIC SAGA to the light of a rebirth…a birth of the SPIRITUAL NEOPHYTE who is much more aware, awake and transcendentally real. This compilation has been showcased by a doctor from within this group with the purpose of lending inspiration, aspiration and interconnectedness to spiritual seekers globally. It is a reminder of the value of using a shared forum to progress on the spiritual path, often addressed as SATSANGA. This is a tribute to friendship and merely a humble effort to enliven the spiritual atmosphere in our world. • xvi • A C K NOWLE D GEMENTS To all these friends who participated in making this book happen: 1.
