“I received an Advance Copy of the audiobook version of The Three Essentials, written and narrated by Devarshi Steven Hartmann. Wow…as a student of Devarshi’s, I was struck by how genuine and generous a book he’s managed to write! His openness and sincerity captivated me from start to finish. I know him as a learned, gentle, and inspirational teacher, and these qualities are deeply embodied in The Three Essentials. I was captivated by how seamlessly he’s weaved together the spiritual experiences of his life with the yogic principles and “A Course in Miracles” teachings that have fueled his journey. Although he’s a masterful yoga practitioner, Devarshi has presented his readers with an exceedingly accessible memoir/spiritual guide. The Three Essentials is sure to resonate with every listener and reader regardless of where they are on their own path. I cant wait to get my hands on a hardcopy of Devarshi’s book so I can reread it, highlight it, make notes, and have it as a lifelong reference!”
WHAT READERS ARE SAYING
“I had the joyful opportunity to listen to Devarshi’s audio edition of The Three Essentials, and I’m truly looking forward to having the hard copy so I can return to it again and again. I especially appreciated hearing the book in his own voice, which adds a sense of intimacy and depth to the experience.
I was especially moved by the way Devarshi shares deeply personal stories from his own life, weaving them together with lessons from a variety of spiritual traditions. His insights will resonate with anyone on a spiritual path or seeking personal growth.
His ability to connect ancient wisdom with the inevitable messiness of contemporary human life is particularly meaningful, addressing the common existential questions most people have, providing accessibility to the journey of spiritual growth. He skillfully integrates yogic philosophy with the teachings of A Course in Miracles, while reflecting on the meaning and growth that can emerge from traumatic experiences. A thoughtful and inspiring book.”

“Having known Steven since childhood but going our separate ways as we became adults, I was curious to see where his life had led him and what insights he had learned. This book (which I listened to, as he narrated it in his own voice) was truly a delight! It is contemplative, enlightening and profound in its simplicity. I found myself nodding my head at the revelations, and appreciated the real life stories that brought his three principles to life. It’s one of those books that you will think about for days and weeks to come. Since I finished the book, I have found his words and principles showing themselves to me at odd moments, causing me to reflect and smile at how the gentle, artistic, and loving young boy I knew has grown up and become a spiritual guide for so many! Kudos to you Steven!”

“I received an advance copy of this timeless, inspirational audio book read by the author himself, Devarshi Steven Hartman. This book has been a lifetime in the making and encompasses all of the invaluable teachings that Devarshi has gathered and truly embodied during his journey as a yoga Acharya teacher, a teacher of A Course In Miracles and so many more areas of his spiritual and life journey. I have had the priviledge of knowing and studying with Devarshi for many years and I can honestly say, these teachings have changed my life in ways I could never have imagined. His reading of this book, "The Three Essentials: Timeless Principles for Inner Peace and Self-Transfomation" is captivating.
Read or listen to this book, practice these principles and enjoy your journey!”

“This book is captivating and beautifully written. Its simple message is both transformative and accessible. I was able to put these three essential principles into practice right away in my life, with astonishing results - thank you so much Devarshi. The book is also a page-turner - with so many powerful stories - I could not put it down.
I first encountered Steven Hartman 20 years ago at the Kripalu Yoga Center where I was introduced to his audio book - The Essence of the Bhagavad-Gita: Every Person's Guide to the All-Time Spiritual Classic - another amazing offering by the author. Steven's new book was well worth the wait, and I will definitely be rereading this many times over - as a practical guide to living life full with love and peace and joy.”

“I’ve listened to this book twice so far while driving. I’ve spent the last 5 years making my way back from prolonged grief / dark night of the soul. I am a seeker who deeply believes the dark is the place to ripen into life yet I’ve been suck in muddy waters for to long. I’ve listened to this book twice so far while driving. Each time I receive different gifts that light my way to gaining insight and inspiration with practical guidance into a heart full braver joy NOW. How to do my own work with a laser focus embracing god consciousness. I am deeply grateful to have Steven’s stories so honestly told touching my memory system in astounding ways that opened me to hidden deeper pains and liberation from my stuckness.”
