Description
This book conveys the beauty and joy of mystical experience while giving practical suggestions for navigating the search.
This work is created from the writings of Swami Shraddhananda, a prolific writer, with stupendous body of written material, scattered over three continents in a variety of publications.
Swami's writings are illuminating and ennobling. The joy of mystical experience emerges from these articles; they assure us that seeing God everywhere is possible; they tell us that one day we shall have this experience. In a very practical way, we are shown we can begin to make this experience a reality in our own lives.
Swami Shraddhananda writes with gentle sobriety. A teacher of real sweetness, his teaching on the use and power of mantras are particularly fresh and arresting.
The book possesses a quality which exceeds its specific contents; it is evocative as it is informative. Particularly welcome is the discussion of how pain and suffering may be faced both squarely and spiritually.
