This book is a gentle spiritual memoir and inner journey that traces one man's movement from the silence of an ashram into the fullness of ordinary life.
Through the life of Chirkut, the reader enters the world of meditation, devotion, love, marriage, responsibility, and survival. His early years unfold in Osho's Buddha Field, where meditation, celebration, and awareness shape his inner foundation. Yet life does not end at the gates of the ashram. It begins again-this time in the world of work, relationships and commitment.
What Chirkut carries with him is Devotion-not as ritual or belief, but as a lived quality. In troubled times and joyful moments alike, he discovers that devotion can express itself through song, silence, gratitude, movement, and acceptance. Meditation is no longer confined to techniques; it becomes a way of meeting life itself.
His marriage to Parmita becomes a turning point where love awakens deeper awareness. Their closeness brings subtle inner changes-quiet tremors, heightened sensitivity, and a feeling of being alive in a new way. Rather than being explained through philosophy, these experiences are described simply, as moments many seekers quietly recognize but rarely speak about.
Figures such as Limbu Swami, Maa Neelam, Varsha and Bhumika appear not as teachers preaching truths, but as compassionate guides-almost angelic presences-who help Chirkut understand when to hold on and when to let go. Leaving the ashram is not portrayed as failure, but as grace. The message is clear: spirituality is not about withdrawal from life, but participation in it.
Deeply influenced by Osho's vision of "Zorba the Buddha," the book shows how meditation and worldly living can coexist. Chirkut learns to earn, to support a family, to face hardship, and still return to inner silence. His greatest strength becomes the ability to witness-to stay present without bitterness or blame.
Written in simple, accessible language, this book does not attempt to teach spirituality. Instead, it shares lived experience-making it relatable to readers who may have never visited an ashram, yet feel the pull of something deeper within everyday life.
This is a story of:
Spiritual awakening without escapism
Bhakti expressed through ordinary living
Love as a doorway to awareness
Meditation beyond techniques
Integrating silence with responsibility
Ideal for readers interested in Osho, Indian spirituality, meditation, self-discovery, spiritual memoirs, inner transformation, and conscious living.
This book reminds us that one does not have to renounce life to be spiritual.
Sometimes, life itself becomes the meditation.
