Deepak Chopra has been considered by many people as a modern day rishi. A rishi is one who "sees beyond the present time."

Who is Deepak? He's a poet, medical doctor, synthesizer of ideas, lecturer, author, inspirer, ayurvedic messenger, meditation teacher, and so much more!

I have participtaed in many of Deepak's seminars over the past 10 years. I also had the unique opportunity to spend a week at the Chopra Center in California.

Without a doubt, he has literally changed how I see the world. Hopefully, you too will experience a "re-thinking" of how the world operates. Enjoy the journey...once you start, you may not return!

I can endorse much of what Deepak has to say as I have had many spiritual experiences dating from 1969. Read VV's nde and it will cover The light, Bliss, Energy as the cosmic dance. I experienced all these things as a young person with no knowledge of physics. One day all will come to know of the energy, love and connectivity in our universe and selves. Thank you Deepak and thank you nderf.org for giving this knowledge to the world and explaining our spirituality and continuum in comprehending the whole.

Hi Thomas - I adore Deepak. I saw him speak at a bookstore where I live and have almost all his books. Spirituality, his teachings are about power of the mind, the laws of attraction - but there's so much more.
Love to everyone on all planets, Suzann from "InsideTheTarot"

Deepak can write so that mysterious and complicated things see easily doable. His idea of a Law of Least Effort helped me to move forward with writing my book-Eat Yourself Younger Effortlessly in 1 month. Prior to reading His Seven Spiritual Laws of success I hesitated for years,

Primordial Sound Meditation 

What is it?

Primordial Sound Meditation, as introduced by Dr. Deepak Chopra, is a mantra-based practice that systematically allows you to experience quieter, more peaceful levels of the mind. A mantra is a specific sound, which when used silently, serves as a vehicle to connect you with deeper aspects of your consciousness. With its origins in the ancient Vedic tradition of India, Primordial Sound Meditation is the perfect antidote to modern stress.
