Uma Shankari was born and raised in India. She left India in 1997 to pursue her higher education in the U.S. She has an MS in Electrical Engineering. She chose a career in IT and had worked in the corporate world until 2014. After 16 solid years in the industry, when she thought her life was set in IT, she had a spiritual awakening that would change her future forever in ways that she could not fathom. While contemplating career alternatives, she was led consciously to leave the corporate world without regret and without a plan of action. In her heart she knew she needed time off to pursue her spiritual journey. ‘The Lion’s Wisdom’ is the first book resulting from her new path in life.

In the past decade, there has been a significant increase in the number of channeled books. The channeled spirit in this book is a wise lion, who shares his concerns about the current destruction of Mother Earth. By imparting timeless and relevant information, he encourages the main character, as well as every reader, to explore their beliefs and actions. In the nonfiction work, The Lion’s Wisdom: A Channeled Text Toward Awakening Human Consciousness (Embracing Our Oneness with Mother Earth), written by Uma Shankari, several main themes – Our Oneness and Our Inner Wisdom – are fully explored. There are twenty-one chapters where various topics are further explained. Each one could be a book in itself! For example, the chapters on shame, beauty, surrender, and dignity contain strong tenets, assisting a person to awaken to a higher level of consciousness.
This book is written in a concise, easy to read manner. The best way to read it would be to approach one chapter at each sitting, allowing its messages to be absorbed into one’s being, before reading the next one. The lessons are applied through the lens of one person who realizes how self-centeredness and unwise choices have affected a once-loving marriage and other life decisions. Author Uma Shankari has given the world a beautiful gift in The Lion’s Wisdom: A Channeled Text Toward Awakening Human Consciousness (Embracing Our Oneness with Mother Earth). It is a book to be savored, and one that every reader will want to revisit again and again over the years.
