Foreword by Robert Moss
There is a moment when something – a tree, a goddess, a pilot whale – is willing to let you see it, and you realize that it has been looking at you all along. This is the moment of Darshan, of mutual viewing, when you find you are in the world-behind-the world and the sacred and the mundane are interfused. Jacqueline Teoh takes us with her on her remarkable life journey into this deeper way of seeing and being, in which her external adventures become luminous inner awakenings and vice versa.
You wonʼt forget her waking encounter with a shaman ancestor in Mongolia, or the dream when she is filled with grace as she looks close-up into the eye of a whale, and how the dream spills into physical reality. She encourages us to find the extraordinary in the ordinary and recognize that the door to transcendent experience opens from wherever we are.
Not least important, she counsels us on how to buffer ourselves as we come down from spiritual rapture and take care of those who care about us as we change and grow.

Darshan: Behold the Divine.. Refreshing read
This book is so nicely written in simple language and easy to understand format giving a very deep understanding of ‘Darshan’ , a simple yet very powerful process to experience the Divine.
It doesnt complicate with process and rituals but shares the authors own life experiences of Darshan. It throws light on various processes followed in Hindu culture to prepare onself for a Darshan and how can one be invitation to Divine in owns life.
The author takes us through a journey in her life, reminding us along the way that the Divine is all around us and its we the seeker who has to be just Present in that moment to experience the Divine.
This book is all the more inspiring because the author herself despite having a family and full time corporate job has pursued Spirituality to such depths demonstrating that Spirituality is for everyone.
In Ch 6 there is a meditation which is really nice.

Can’t put this book down!
It took me a couple of weeks to finally pick up the book after purchasing it. I started reading it this evening and I literally can’t put it down. It’s going to be a long night!!!! I am already halfway.
It’s absolutely riveting with a captivating storytelling style and a way to simplify what Darshan really is through the authors lived experience. I myself had a profound Darshan once and I found myself touched and resonating with the authors personal and spiritual experiences! Highly recommend this unique and rare gem of a book to anyone!

Touched my heart and spirit
Reading Awaken Your Soul was a deeply moving experience for me. As someone who has just started my own spiritual journey and experienced divine grace many times, Jacqueline’s words truly resonated with my heart. I felt as though I was right there with her through each moment she shared.
There’s a quiet strength in the way she writes, and I found myself reflecting on my own path with new clarity and gratitude. Her experiences felt incredibly real, not just in the telling, but in the energy behind them — I literally felt it.
It’s not just a read, it’s a beautiful reminder of the presence of grace in our lives.
Thank you, Jacqueline, for sharing your journey with such openness.

Brilliant, engaging insight into your purpose here in this reality
When I decided to purchase this book, I was curious to understand what Jacqueline was on about. I had my own so-called ‘Darshans’ during my teen/young adult years but drifted as I succumbed to the materialistic offerings of our physical reality.
My flawed understanding of reaching the Divine was that there can never be a marriage between the physical and the spiritual and therefore, I was never ready. However, there always has been a tug at my heart from some unknown source that my life journey is incomplete without embracing the spiritual aspects of this ‘life’ and to cut a long story short, this book has been an eye-opener for me. It resonates with what I’ve been feeling but missing this whole time.
Jacqueline’s journey to embrace the Divine has been nothing short of a miracle of what a person is capable of; all her trials and tribulations which instead of hindering her to reach her destination to Divinity, they accelerated her growth. Through her experiences, she has given us guides to help us understand how we can reach Divinity which resides in every one of us.
I encourage all to get this book and believe me, it will help with your life’s journey to understand the true meaning of your soul’s quest for Divinity.
Let me help you live a life you will love
I provide an environment to reclaim mental clarity, build lasting happiness, and step into a life that reflects your true self.
