In this book, I invite you to join me on a journey through an extraordinary Indian pilgrimage, where the wonders of life unfold in the most unexpected ways. If you haven’t yet read Part 1 of the Jai Story, I highly recommend it. My greatly loved eight-and-a-half-year-old son, Jairam, passed away in an ocean of love after a sudden unexpected accident.
His heartfelt wish had always been to visit India and Amma’s Ashram, a dream my son Shankara and I fulfilled on his behalf.

This book takes the reader on a virtual pilgrimage to places and people in India with great spiritual power. We learn about the extraordinary lives of renowned yogis and have the opportunity to take their profound teachings to heart. The story is uplifting, as simply reading about sacred places and enlightened beings can shift our state to one of greater connection, joy and love. It is also poignant, as the journey is taken on behalf of Kieran's deceased son Jairam. Time and again the story reminded me that "Love is more powerful than death". - Barbara Curnow
"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.” - Brendan Mulhall
Jai’s Story – Part 2 This is a great read for anybody interested in spiritual India and the synchronicity of life. As Kieran and his eldest son, Shankara, embark on an amazing pilgrimage to India in honour of Jairam, we are introduced to some interesting and unexpected characters. Kieran’s telling of his adventures helps us let go of the boundaries of life as we know them, inviting us to open-up to new possibilities. As they wind their way through India, in many cases just following their nose for adventure, we are a witness to a father’s journey to process the loss of his son, finding solace in understanding the interconnectedness of life and how it all works on a deeper, subtler level. This is a wonderful contemporary yogi story. - Seva
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. - Laura Kemp
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.- Seva
