TESTIMONIALS
Hello Jason,
I woke up with sore eyes this morning after reading your book within a span of three sittings in less than 24 hours. I found it hard to put down. You're a wonderful writer, funny and sincere, and I identified completely with your spiritual search for, of course, I'm on one myself, and there are some interesting parallels. Thank you for sharing your experience and for introducing me to Arathi Ma in a way, perhaps, that her humility and non attachment would have prevented her from doing herself.
I am repeating "Om Gum Shrim Maha Lakshmiyei Namaha" with a vengeance (and facility acquired, I believe, as a result of our interchange about the accumulation of energy from mantra chanting.
This with the intent of generating income so that I can avail myself of your services and Arathi Ma's. I live with my twin brother in a condo we purchased for our retirement. My monthly social security income covers my basis needs with not a lot left over at this time; hence, my mantra practice.
At 62 years, I have a pretty long life story. Suffice it to say here that your book has made me question whether my inability to realize a promising musical career (an opera conductor echoed what teachers and adjudicators had said before that I could go anywhere and as far as I wanted in the music field with my voice) may have had to do with blocked energy and past trauma. And like you, something stronger was driving me that outweighed the desire for a career for the sake of career; i.e., the urge to end my emotional pain and achieve enlightenment.
I have been on a fortunate course this past while. I discovered your youtube videos, which complement my mantra disciplines so beautifully with the addition of your helpful descriptions and insights based on your life experiences and awakening.
I don't know what the future holds, but I am excited, and I thank you. A million thank-you's to you and a million more to your mother for giving birth to you.
Namaste,
Margaret

"I finished Jason's book!!! WOW. Sooo incredible.Wow, wow, wow. Before reading Jason's book I book I thought I was well versed in the realm of the "spiritual world". I have done a lot of reading and listening to audio tapes over the last several years about self-growth and spiritual principles. What I realized, only about 15 pages into Jason's book, is that if "Spiritual Knowledge" was a school, I would not have even made it into Kindergarten. My old perception of what is 'truly' possible and what people are 'truly' capable of has been blown out of the water. I would recommend this book to anyone who is choosing to find their 'true self', this book is awe-inspiring. I literally couldn't put it down, and I still carry it with me. "

I just finished reading Awakening with Arathi Ma. Thanks so much to Jason for providing a most engaging and valuable account of his spiritual journey. The book certainly captures the mystique, power and saintliness of Sri Arathi Ma and attests to Jason's courage and tenacity in the pursuit of his spiritual evolution. Jason, Sri Arathi Ma and the book are truly inspirational.
With immense gratitude,

"The best book I've ever read!" -- Ida Toth
"This book is a funny, informative, and easy-to-understand rendition about the awakening process within human consciousness."
"A capturing true story from beginning to end, and it helps anyone to fathom that "waking up" is possible for him or herself. The writer is poignantly describing complex processes in an easy language in a backdrop of travel, magic, romance, and everyday life."
