It is the best of its kind that I have read since Yogananda's Autobiography of a Yogi. Adrian Gilbert - Author of 'Blood of Avalon' and 'The Holy Kingdom'. Smita has done a wonderful job of telling the universal story of each of our heroic journey home to our true Selves. Across continents and lifetimes, she encourages us to trust our inner voice, so we can heal, find more peace and happiness, and to show up as who we truly are. Nick Williams - Author of 'The Work We Were Born to Do' and 'Pivotal Moments'. I have never read an autobiography so compelling as this one: beautifully written, emotionally gripping and awe-inspiring. Aside from exquisite story telling, the book illuminates the power and truth of multi-incarnations in our lives in such a way as to bring us to new octaves of understanding who we are from a spiritual, cosmic perspective. To be transported into Smita's present and past lives with such a sense of clarity, opens us to the vista of how conscious awareness can completely change our possibilities. Smita brings us a voice of consciousness, inviting us on a journey that transcends customs and cultures; and delivers us directly into the presence of our own essence that we did not know how to access, or even that it truly exists. This is a gift far beyond the simple telling of a story. Aspects of her journey may trigger points of emotional association, but the real treasure is the myriad of beautiful spiritual concepts the stories bring to us ...For me, one powerful measure pertaining to any source of new information is the sudden rush of energy in the form of goose-bumps arising on my skin ... This physical phenomenon signals to me that something true and real is being illuminated ... So it has been in this fantastic trilogy, in which at various points I have experienced that powerful resonance with Smita's words. Smita opens us to the power of our own Higher Self, the Inner Diamond, and thus transforms herself as a storyteller, into a magnificent teacher-one who can unabashedly introduce spiritual truths such as the phenomenon of reincarnation, and show us its relevance in our business, social and personal lives. We are blessed to learn all this from Smita's engaging wit, clarity, and sense of profound human wisdom. Chris Griscom, Author of 'Ecstasy is a New Frequency', 'Time Is an illusion'. Smita is a bridge and guide for anyone who is on their journey back to the inner light source consciousness within us all. She opens the depth of her own diverse experience to mine the jewels, the pearls of wisdom that is an offering to the modern world from the roots. Shiva Rea - Master Yoga Teacher and Author of 'Tending the Heart Fire'. Along the path of Karma yoga, action with selfless intention, Smita has truly have found a light that will never go out. Stewart Gilchrist - Master Yoga Teacher. It is a gem of a tale to inspire all those seeking to transcend limitation, both inner and outer, and all those seeking to become the ultimate source of their own truth and power. Robert The - Anthropologist. Without ever preaching, Smita inspires and enlightens the reader to connect to their own inner Self and live life fulfilled. She shows how it's possible to collaborate with the inner Self, even in the most dire of circumstances, to create powerful, wholesome outcomes. Read it as just an engrossing story or allow its deeper messages to alter you forever. One thing is for sure, you will not escape being touched and blown away by this unique story. Chris Day - Author of 'Turning your Knowledge into Income'. The path to greater self-awareness and understanding that brings us happiness can be rocky and, at times, even treacherous. Smita has been there and got the T-shirt and came back to share the gems of wisdom so that you don't have to do it the hard way. In the Karma & Diamonds trilogy, Smita shows how the happiness and fulfilment that we seek are often closer to home than we think. Her account is as entertaining as it is frank. Prepare to ride a roller coaster with her. Tom Evans - Author of 'New Magic for a New Era'. Superbly written, deeply emotional and empowering, this trilogy is a delightful gift and a powerful testament of wisdom, self-belief, courage, determination and uncommon grace. Joshi's vivid and honest account of her troubled and brave childhood in India, adolescence in London and her remarkable journeys through holy sites and ashrams is breathtaking and will keep you engrossed. Her lack of bitterness at the traumatic experiences she encountered as a child and how she overcame her life traumas of self- knowledge and actualisation is truly inspiring and healing, and will surely help others to overcome theirs. MonaLisa Chukwuma - Author of 'Define Yourself - and Become the Architect of your Future'. I loved the Karma & Diamonds trilogy. This is a heart-warming and true-to-life account of the life and spiritual journey of a brave and determined young British Indian woman ... All throughout these three books, Smita is deeply connected to her own on board 'Guru', and is always seeking a deeper meaning to her life and existence. While a serious, and at times heart-wrenching book, it also has a wonderful thread of humour woven through. Harmony Kent - Author of 'Elemental Earth' and 'The Glade'. A page turner with a difference. Smita Joshi has given us an absorbing, heart-warming and inspirational account of how it's indeed possible, with vision and self-belief, to rise above the challenges of life and succeed with gusto... A whirlwind storyline packed with travel, action and emotion, it is often funny but will drive most of us to tears as we identify with the characters and witness many tragic events Smita gets confronted with. Yet, her journey is inspiring and optimistic. Arvind Devalia - Author of the Amazon bestseller 'Get the Life you Love'.
