The new audiobook by Dr. Shankar Subramaniam
WHAT IS AN ADVANCE LISTENER COPY?
An Advance Listener Copy (ALC) is a special, pre-release version of my upcoming audiobook that is free to invited reviewers for a limited time. In the ancient Indic spiritual tradition, the Vedas and Upanishads were transmitted orally, and stories were meant to be shared by listening. I provide these copies to a select group of listeners before the official release date to help build a community of early feedback.
As an Advance Listener, you will receive a complimentary digital copy of the audiobook through Bookfunnel.
While there is no obligation, I am looking for listeners who are excited to share their honest thoughts via a review on Goodreads and other platforms. Details on where and how to provide these reviews will be provided in a future email. You are encouraged to join the community of other invited reviewers on Substack here <Link- I will provide> and share your listening experience.

ABOUT THE AUDIOBOOK
When a vision paralyzes his body and threatens to destroy everything he loves, a scientist must climb a sacred peak to reclaim his life slipping through his hands, before his children lose their father and his career and reputation are ruined by the inexplicable. Thus begins Jiva’s journey through the ancient teachings of advaita vedanta, tantra, and yoga, told through his lived experience of a seeker’s transformation. Like the original Upanishads, which weave philosophical truth into story and dialogue, this book carries its wisdom through narrative: the protagonist Jiva’s journey illustrates the teaching. The Seven Steps, each an aphorism from advaita philosophy, are elucidated through short reflective passages and form the skeleton on which the story is built— but the meat of the book is the fiction.
Bliss is not something to be gained. It is something to be uncovered, and it has always been there. The Seven Steps illustrates a seeker’s path of self-discovery rooted in ancient wisdom that is rediscovered in our present context. For anyone ready to move from restless searching to living truth, The Seven Steps to Bliss is an invitation to experience living a philosophy (based on the advaita vedanta, tantra, and yoga schools of Hindu philosophy) through a work of spiritual fiction. Readers who loved Siddhartha or The Alchemist will find a refreshingly new path through familiar terrain.
