'Deepam Chatterjee is the rare army officer who has taken the road less travelled. He has been teaching mysticism and meditation for many years. In The Millennial Yogi, he has poured a lifetime of his life experiences. Deepam has woven a beautiful parable about Jay, a young man whose intense ambition to attain success at any cost leads him to complete ruin. However, in a serendipitous moment, he meets his mentor Vini, who helps Jay find meaning and purpose. Life is beautiful and we must learn to make the best of what we have, rather than focusing on what we don't. Deepam's book compels us to ponder the deepest of questions-what is the purpose of our lives? We all struggle with adversities. How we deal with them makes or breaks us. Nothing is impossible. Through The Millennial Yogi, Deepam has underlined this message. Where there's will, there's a way. If we have the will, we can find our inner strength and conquer the whole
world'

'I am very happy and excited about my friend Deepam's debut book, The Millennial Yogi. It's the kind of book that arrives rarely and leaves an everlasting imprint on the landscape of literary fiction. In the tradition of The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari and The Alchemist, Deepam has woven a very powerful message about clawing back from the brink, when one is completely down and out, and reclaiming one's life. For me, the ease with which Deepam writes the visually
engrossing story demonstrates his grasp of story structure, and it has a huge potential to be adapted for the large screen. I am eager to read more interesting stories from Deepam Chatterjee. Keep 'em coming, my dear friend!'

Deepam Chatterjee is a retired Indian Army captain. He took up film-making after a debilitating spinal injury compelled him to leave the army.

Later, he trained under Sri Sri Ravi Shankar and taught the Art of Living courses before embarking on a journey of self-exploration.

A keen researcher as well as a chronicler of oral narratives, Deepam writes and lectures on Hindu thought, meditation, spirituality, mysticism, mythology and wellness. He has translated a signifi-cant body of Sanskrit works into easily readable literature for young readers and mainstream audi-ences.
