#Review: Gyan Yoga by Richa Tilokani

Reading Gyan Yoga felt less like leafing through a book and more like sitting across from a patient, insightful mentor who gently nudges you toward clarity. Richa Tilokani weaves philosophy with relatable, modern-day dilemmas in a way that neither overwhelms nor oversimplifies. What I appreciated most was the book’s ability to make ancient wisdom feel lived, relevant, and quietly transformative.

The exploration of identity, acceptance, and truth is layered with anecdotes and contemporary reflections, making the journey feel personal rather than preachy. At times, the narrative leans a little heavily into abstraction, but even those moments serve as a pause — a reminder to slow down, breathe, and think.

For me, the real strength of Gyan Yoga lies in how it bridges the mystical with the everyday: how to stay centred in a noisy world, how to meet oneself with honesty, and how knowledge becomes a grounding force. It’s not a quick read; it’s a companion for those willing to sit with their thoughts.

Reflective, sincere, and quietly stirring — this book left me with more questions, but in the best possible way.
