Laura Kemp – Jai’s Story Part 1

Jai’s Story Part I.

Kieran’s Part 1 of Jai Ram’s story shares the journey through one of the most difficult times a parent can face; the death of their son. But don’t be fooled into expecting a tale of struggle and darkness. Kierans deep and extensive yoga practice allowed him to be a beacon of the fullest love, light and compassion that exposes the possibility of a wholly different way to navigate the hardest of times. This story has not only been a beautiful and joyful book that I would look forward to pick up daily, it became an inspiring and revolutionary example of how I could also face grief with tender love and an open heart.

Brendan Mulhall

“Jai’s story has woven together the strands of the tragic sudden death of a beautiful 8 year old boy, the process of coping with the deep grieving associated with death and dying and the wisdom of the ancient spiritual traditions. These strands have created a colourful healing rug that not only allows grief to move through to a level of acceptance, but also allows the grieving to touch the essential qualities of our true nature, pure love.”

Jai’s Story Part I.

Jai’s Story Part 1 demonstrates how a life focussed on spiritual growth can bring remarkable gifts, including the ability to face major challenges with an open heart and clarity of mind. Readers can draw valuable life lessons from Kieran’s reflections throughout the book. The story is also a moving tribute to Kieran’s son Jairam, and this young boy’s positive influence on those around him in life and beyond.

Jai’s Story – Part 1

This is a beautiful story of a father’s deep love for his son, which continues to grow after his sudden and accidental death. Woven around the emergency situation as it unfolds, we are lead through Kieran’s own personal story to provide insight into what has shaped him and help us understand his own world view – that his relationship with his son continues.

I found this story helped me reflect on my own life, to identify key life experiences that have shaped me and my response patterns. I recommend this book for anyone on the life journey, who is keen to learn and grow and open to enquiry and reflection about who we are.
