In the Lotus of the Heart: The Essence of Relationships Do you yearn to become a more loving partner? Are you in a relationship you would like to transform? Are you searching for better way to handle conflict? Vedanta teacher Shubhraji was moved to write In the Lotus of the Heart: The Essence of Relationships because, in her words, “people everywhere talk to me about the same relationship issues. Many feel lonely; often they’re cut off from loved ones because of seemingly unresolvable conflicts or communication problems, or they suffer in stale, loveless, or even abusive relationships.” Accessible and practical, In the Lotus of the Heart illuminates how to connect more deeply with our beloveds, parents, children, friends, and co-workers and reveals how relationships help neutralize the effects of past conditioning. Using familiar examples, Shubhraji illuminates how our outer conflicts reflect our inner struggles and why resolving these struggles can propel us toward harmonious relations with others. In the Lotus of the Heart reminds us that we start with ourselves, for that is where we find our wholeness, perfection, and innate capacity to love.

Shubhraji, a contemporary Vedanta teacher with an international following, began her spiritual work at age fourteen as a disciple of the renowned Vedanta master H. H. Swami Chinmayananda. Originally from India, Shubhraji took an early interest in the ancient nondualistic philosophy of Vedanta. Using Sanskrit texts such as the Bhagavad Gita and the Upanishads, she currently lectures on numerous topics, including spiritual unfoldment, the art of relationships, meditation in daily life, the secret to success, the essence of divine love, and managing the mind. Her students, in turn, discover a deeper understanding of their essential natures, the challenges they may face, and how to adjust their attitudes about life. Her good-humored, inspiring talks help people discover their true selves and consequently live more creative and fulfilling lives. Presently based in Woodstock, New York, Shubhraji teaches and travels throughout the United States, Asia, and Europe. She has conducted programs for both Eastern and Western audiences in various centers and institutions, including the Harvard Business School in Cambridge, Massachusetts; London Business School in London, England; St. John's College in Santa Fe, New Mexico; and the Ross Institute in East Hampton, New York. She also offers weekend intensives that include yoga asanas and has been interviewed live on several radio and TV stations in the United States and abroad. Shubhraji’s first book, In the Lotus of the Heart: The Essence of Relationships (September 2014), was inspired by the desire of everyone she meets to skillfully communicate with others and have loving, fulfilling relationships.
