Description

W B Yeats considered this autobiography of Shree Purohit Swami of comparable importance to Tagore’s Gitanjali. The book describes Shree Purohit Swami’s life and adventures. In fact, in his own words, it is about his concrete life, not an abstract philosophy.

The Swami is like a minstrel and story-teller. In his belief he can only offer to God the service learnt in service of man or woman. Shree Purohit Swami possessed heroic ecstatic passion prolonged through years, through many vicissitudes. In his description of his journey up seven thousand steps at Mount Girnar, Yeats claims one will find a philosophy that will satisfy the intellect and will be all one wants.
