Chennai, Oct 16th 2008: Oneness, a spiritual organization launched their book "Awakening Into Oneness" – The Power of Blessing in the Evolution of Consciousness written by Arjuna Ardagh. The book was launched by the honorable and the renowned film actor, Ms Shilpa Shetty at the Bombay Stock Exchange yesterday. Bollywood stars, Film Directors and Industry stalwarts were also present at the launch.
Awakening into Oneness: The Power of Blessing in the Evolution of Consciousness tells the remarkable story of this radical new gateway to personal and global transformation.
The author Arjuna Ardagh, in this book Awakening into Oneness, describes the spiritual phenomenon in India called the Oneness Blessing or “Deeksha” which is a powerful transfer of energy from one person to another. Deeksha which is a non-denominational transfer of energy, that can be given by touch, through the eyes, or through the power of intention, resulting in healing, peace, and overall well-being. The Oneness Blessing has transformed the lives of millions across the world, irrespective of religion or tradition. This book is brought out mainly for those who seek greater awareness of self and a pathway to personal growth and hence Ardagh felt the need to pass on this spiritual fulfillment to the rest of the world.
After visiting the Oneness UniverCity located at Varadaipalayam - AP, and undergoing a process, Ardagh, founder of the Living Essence Foundation in Nevada City, California, was amazed by the impact of this Blessing on his life. He interviewed hundreds who had experienced the Oneness Blessing. They reported a feeling of inner peace, reduced mental chatter, and increased creativity and achievement. The author shares dozens of personal accounts of the impact of the Oneness Blessing, and continues exploration at the Oneness UniverCity under the guidance of Sri Bhagavan and Sri Amma. Ardagh also discusses the positive effect of the Blessing on the body, on relationships, and even in business, adding that “the blessing is something few people will be able to ignore in the years ahead”.
Arjuna Ardagh has captured the fundamental nature of the Oneness Blessing in this book. He objectively addresses both the acknowledgements and criticisms of the Oneness Blessing and lets the reader make up his mind about its merits. He writes in the epilogue: "It may be that what has been written in these pages could inspire you to find out a little more . . . Then, just like me, it might be that something in you is touched, something more eloquent and trustworthy than our armor of cynicism. Finally, you will come to know the truth about this phenomenon, not from the logic of the mind, but from the wisdom of the heart."
According to Shilpa Shetty, renowned Bollywood Actress, “My experience after being introduced to Oneness Univercity, has left a lasting impression on my soul and entire family, there is a lot that I got to learn through my experience at Oneness. Having been graced with so much in my life, I keep asking myself if I have done something good in my life to be blessed with so much of success and a family that has been so supportive to me.” She further added, “I was fortunate to have met Amma Bhagavan
& Shri Namannji who are constantly trying to make a difference to the world and are always around to answer my queries. They have made me realize that in this constant thrist to find peace and harmony, unless one is not at peace from within they cannot find peace in the world outside.”
“Oneness’ movement to intergret people with their inner selves is a fantastic & great movement, as they want people to be successful individuals in both their personal and professional lives. I have been fortunate to have found a great family at Oneness, and this is where you would get answers to all your anxieties and worries, and thus would request that you should experience this feeling by visiting the Oneness UniverCity temple yourself. I Shilpa Oneness Shetty urge & will try spread the word Oneness to lead a path to Happiness.”
