Rajshree Patel came to the United States as a refugee. Her parents escaped the Idi Amin regime with their life and no belongings. Like any good immigrant from India, she was raised with a dominant left-brain. She grew up to be an attorney and worked for the U.S. Attorney’s office and the Los Angeles District Attorney’s office as a prosecutor. Believing she was going to a sitar concert, she ended up in a program taught by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, a world-renowned spiritual master. She hadn’t engaged in any spiritual or introspection programs before and had no idea of the divine source of energy within and without as the essence of everything in life. 
She left the practice of law and spent hundreds of hours with Sri Sri in personal training learning the ancient wisdom and techniques of the Vedas. This new direction eventually led her to integrate how Vital force and consciousness is fundamental to health, happiness and higher states of living.
Her book – The Power of Vital Force: Fuel Your Energy, Purpose, and Performance with Ancient Secrets of Breath and Meditation –is a compilation of what she has learnt over the last 35 years.
