Growing up under the sway of a Brooklyn housewife turned guru, Priya Hutner is drawn into a world shaped by bizarre rituals, spiritual promises, and oppressive beliefs. What begins as a quest for enlightenment unravels into a stifling reality as the boundaries between spiritual devotion and control blur-and as Priya becomes an integral part of the ashram community, sharing the guru's teachings, she becomes further entangled in a web of spiritual control and manipulation.   In this deeply personal memoir, Priya shares her struggle to break free from her guru and the cult-like grip to which she falls prey. Priya's traumatic escape from the community marks a profound turning point as she regains personal power, rediscovers herself, and achieves true liberation in the process.    A spiritual adventure story and a cautionary tale, Chasing Nirvana is a story of love, heartbreak, and redemption that offers a powerful reflection on the perils of blind faith and the beauty of reclaiming one's life on one's own terms. Priya's story is a testament to the human spirit's capacity for resilience, self-discovery, and freedom from the bondage of belief.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47925137866910,"sku":"ING-9798896360889","price":28.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9798896360889.jpg?v=1782960582","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9798896360889","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
