Born into a poor family in Fiji, Saileshwara set out on a quest seeking a cure from a life-threatening condition. Through an extraordinary journey that took him half-way around the world, he not only survived, but transcended his physical and mental limitations, initiating the yogic path to self-realisation. Despite the challenges of having a physical disability, Saileshwara’s mind-blowing and uplifting story reveals some of the superhuman achievements possible on this inward path.
This true, personal and spiritual story, told by his wife Marina, is an up-close and intimate account of a Yogi living a bi-cultural life in the suburbs of Australia. Guided by an ancient and mystical world, Sai Saileshwara is living proof you don’t have to retire to a Himalayan cave to master yourself.

...More about the book
Saileshwara has mastered himself. He has experienced and tapped into his own source. When this happens, life is never the same again. You cannot go back. Most of us experience and engage with our lives as interpreted by our own minds. Everything that could possibly be experienced by the senses can only be experienced inside ourselves. The mind is like a filter through which we see and experience the external world – that which is outside the boundary of our body.
Masters work to waken people up to the treasure that lies within. They do not tell people what to think, rather they remove and dismantle erroneous thinking and harmful habits. Then we naturally turn to direct experiences that are unconditional and not mediated through the mind. We turn within. We listen to the inner voice that has been drowned out by the chattering mind.
This book is about an ordinary person who achieved this freedom despite great trauma and challenges and went on to master himself and teach others to also become free.
About The Author
Marina Chand
Marina is from a bicultural Dutch and Fiji-Indian background, and has credentials in bioscience. Her career has strongly focused on human rights and working with vulnerable populations for health equity and justice. Currently she is an executive manager in a health social enterprise she co-founded ten years ago. She has written articles, conference papers and research papers in a professional capacity and is regarded as a leader in the not-for-profit health sector.
Marina is well travelled, and her true love is trekking in the Himalayas in desolate high-altitude places. Her sense of adventure has taken her to some incredible places and she has led some daring treks.
She is also a qualified homeopath and meditation teacher and she often joins Saileshwara at talks and workshops where they complement each other’s styles – east meets west. She has a deep personal understanding and experience of yogic philosophy that she explains and interprets for a Western audience.
She wanted to bring to life an honest, up-close and personal story of a traditional yogi living a outwardly ordinary life in the suburbs of Australia, while guided by an ancient mystical world. The reader will be touched by the book’s transformational narrative and spiritual guidance at the same time. This is her first book.
What People Are Saying
When it comes to meditation, self-awareness and realisation, there is no one better placed to provide guidance than Sailesh. This biography isn't just a tale about one person's journey, it's a guidebook that will serve many on their own. I am one of the fortunate people who have had the honour and privilege to have spent time with Marina and Sailesh and this book is the next best thing.

This inspirational biography of a great Saint/Soul living in our modern world presents the reader with a fascinating tale of one mans journey to freedom and the far reaching impact that has on a community and the world at large. As the reader dives deep into the life of Saileshwara, a stirring from deep within arises, a feeling that may have been buried for some, during these challenging COVID days. That feeling is love, and it's love that this biography exudes but also draws out of the reader.
A delightful read for the devotional since the teachings within speak directly to the heart.

This book has so many profound and inspiring truths in it. I have been reading spiritual, self-help books for about 5 years. This book is certainly one of the best I have found. It is an inspiring and incredible read. Marina Chand has captured the struggle and triumph of overcoming serious illness, disability, depression and pain in this captivating book of a truly remarkable man, yogi and master with a mission. The book also offers outstanding tools for all kinds of people, including those seeking to develop inner peace, joy and gain clarity about the sweetness of life.
