Description
In 2002, H.H. Sri Swami Chidananda Mahraj gave an unprecedented series of forty talks on a small book that is very dear to his heart by the great Maharashtrian poet-saint Samartha Ramdas entitled Manache Shlok (Verse Addressed to the Mind).
Written especially for the spiritual aspirant, Manache Shloke contains the highest wisdom teachings. Swami Chidananda has said: “If you follow the instructions given in these verses, you will be moving in the right direction, all will be well with you. Even while in this body-bound state, you will experience inner freedom.”
