“These women Indian women mystics teach me how to claim the present moment, how to live guilt-free, how to celebrate the body, how to find the magical in the mundane, how to sing my own song even if the world doesn’t seem to care…. ‘Hope, they tell us, lies in standing tall, in reclaiming our spine, in taking responsibility for our lives and our planet. In becoming more fully and deeply ourselves. They give me the octane to enter 2025. The world isn’t going to get any wiser. But we can.”

“For the deepest acts of creation and renewal happen in invisible realms that require a subtle mix of intensity and non-doing, alertness and grace. Fallow fields are far from lifeless, for much churning happens deep within the soil. Here was an insight about the alchemy of waiting and the power of living stillness. Conscious ‘being’, I began to understand, could be far more significant than ‘becoming’.”

In life, spiritual paths are often as unique as we are. Bringing together the voices of four women mystics walking very different spiritual paths, poet and seeker Arundhathi Subramaniam reveals the expansive potential of forging an intimate personal connection with the divine.

A powerful dialogue, filled with poetic nuances, we meet four stunningly diverse female spiritual travelers. Arundhathi bathes us in the kind of mystery that feels deeply familiar and invites us to connect with our spiritual fire.
