Una storia vera, il percorso spirituale di Om Swamiji. Affascinante il suo ritiro in una caverna del Himalaya. Om Swamiji è veramente una Persona illuminata e speciale. Questo libro è un grande insegnamento per un ricercatore spirituale. Apre la mente ed il cuore. Uno dei libri più importanti della mia vita, e ne ho letti tantissimi. With infinite gratitude to Om Swamiji. Irene

fascinating to read - a truly inspiring beigraphy of a living siddha told by himself. In a simple narrative every chapter of his life precisely remembered. Though his judgement of tibetan Buddhism, by the few buddhist monasteries, which he visited, is generalising and may not be right. Nevertheless I loved this book and recomend it wholehaertedly so all the points possible.

Clearly the best book I have ever read. Truth, honesty, and love all come together and form an incessant downpour of sheer bliss. Swami Ji book is that light that dispels the darkness of ignorance, illuminates the heart with love, and washes away the the bed karma. Perseverance where swami Ji is trying to find a job, forgiveness and love towards a person who does you wrong, values above wealth...the book is full of so many pearls, each time you reread you find a new jewel. Over 55 years, I have read medical, science, law and numerous autobiographic books but this book is a class in its own. The descriptions are so vivid, you almost feel the hub bub of Varanasi, you feel the bite of scorpion, you feel Ganges like character of swami ji, as if with its divine touch washing away your bed Karma. Those who are familiar with Hindu epic Ramayana will recall Vibhshan meets Hanuman Ji he exclaims: AAB MOHI BHA BHAROSE HANUMANATA BINU HARI KRIPA MILHEE NAHI SANTA( Oh! dearest Hanuman, now I am totally assured of my salvation for without lord Rama's blessing it is impossible to have privilege of meeting a saint). If you have this book in your hand, it is nothing short of Vibhishan meeting Hanuman ji. Indeed it is by God's grace,and only those who Rama/Krishna/Jesus/Gurunanak/Allaha has chosen to be enlightened will have the fortune to read this book. In this materialistic world, just like Gurunank did "Sacha Sodha", Swami ji's book is "Sacha Sodha". If you harbor hate, malignant thoughts, narrow mindedness,jealousy ,envy, anger...this book is powerful antidote for all...PROVIDED you are willing to let the swami Ji's divine beam come and enlighten the darkness that engulfs our lives, minds and souls.

Extraordinary experiences described in a simple-plane language. The book that can influence your soul in many levels. 🙏💕
