I am delighted to read the book "Ennai Naan Thedukiren" written by Amudha, at one stretch. The flow is so captivating. I couldn't leave the book before I completed it at 1:30 am in the early morning. Love, culture, affection, nation, happiness, sorrow, life, death, action, result - all these phases of life have been beautifully articulated by the author. The innovation is - Amudha has intertwined the whole philosophy in such a way that it makes it appear that the entire phenomena portrayed in the book are true.

// Where Meditation is power

Ganapati Ramakrishnan, Indian Express

Sangamithra Amudha's book, "The Search… that Seeks you", deals with the power and effects of meditation.

Sangamithra Amudha's english version of her tamil book " Ennai Naan Thedukiren" was launched by industrialist N. Mahalingam recently. The first copy of the same was received by DGP (Fire and Rescue) R. Nataraj. Amudha, in association with the Sanmarga Foundation, has been in the field of counseling and Kriya meditation for a number of years now.

"Counselling and meditation are still new fields in India and we cannot expect dramatic results immediately, because a lot still needs to be explored", she says. Her book conveys the message of meditation through the protagonist Karma, who faces various situations in life in a calm and meditative manner. "A major positive outcome of meditation is self control, which enables cool thinking and one does not react thoughtlessly. It's a win-win situation for one always," says Amudha.

Nataraj mentioned that Amudha's methods of teaching meditation has inculcated interest in learning and practicing of meditation among prisoners, as he observed as DGP (Prisons).

Amudha's clientele ranges from a large cross-section of the population. she says, "certain psychological attitudes are important in an individual, for instance, the art of nourishing and cherishing oneself. These attitudes create not just a positive mindset but also a good presence of mind which comes over a period of time. The mind is a very complex phenomenon in itself; it cannot be tamed easily. It is indeed an effective tool, indeed more effective in the case of youngsters".

The message conveyed through her book, in the form of a story, makes it easier for the reader to understand and appreciate the essence of meditation. In his message former President of India A.P.J. Abdul Kalam says that he finished the book at 1:00 am.

According to Amudha, meditation must be accepted voluntarily. "Meditation is a process of inner search. It requires quietude but the society today is so restless", she says.
