Bliss Now! Is a beautiful and captivating story through which the love and unalloyed beauty of Sri Anandamayi Ma flows; it is such a lovely tale. This novel is enchanting and intriguing, and offers numerous tips on how to live a more spiritual life. It provides lucid spiritual advice, along with an incredible memior.

Bliss Now is a beautifully rendered, intimate tale of one of the great saints of our age. Swami Ramananda's account of his salvation within the forest of Vrindaban has flushed me with tears more than once. And anything that brings me closer to Sri Sri Ma is worth the rewards of a lifetime. Everyone must read this Joyful account.

An exceptional book that has left a smile imprinted on my soul. Thank you Swamaji Ramananda for reminding me how to connect with the Bliss that is within us all. Jai Ma!

Great book from a great man/Swami! I would highly recommend anything by this man and Swami.

His latest CD, Wings of a Dawn is amazing. The CD he wrote in memory of his friend the Indian female astronaut who died in the Shuttle accident. This song he sang at the service.

If you are able to see Swamiji perform anywhere, go you'll love him. Swami Ramananda spent much of his life with Anandamayi Ma. To be near Swami Ramananda is to be near Ma. Ma is a true Saint!

I enjoyed BLISS NOW and Swami's journey to meet MA. Much of the book reads like poetry. Unlike the negative unfair review advanced here, Swami is the most humble of people who only seeks to share his wonderful journey in India, spiritual poetry, beautiful pictures of MA, and a book on how to get on the spiritual path with pictures of yoga asanas, mantras, a glossary of Sanskrit terms. Its great!

I just wanted to let you know that I tried to place an order several weeks ago for "BLISS NOW": With Sri Anandamayi Ma by Dr. Swami Ramanda but you were out of his books. I finally found a store that carried Swami's books. "BLISS NOW" and "From India With Love". I ordered three sets. One set for a friend, one for my son and one set for me. Swami's books are beautifully written, timeless, uplifting and amazing and his CDs have touched my soul. I can hardly wait to purchase his newest book. His works have been an inspiration to many and especially to my son that is incarcerated and will be released soon.
I hope you will have Swami's works available soon as I appreciate ordering and referring my friends to your company.
Thank you for continuing to be such a great company!
Sincerely,

I have read many many spiritual books. I have never met any 'spiritual teacher' who is so full of himself, so vain and so patronizing as this swami. I am sorry if that sounds harsh but I just couldn't take his spiritual boasting any more. He even has the cheek to say in his introduction, 'may I give you permission to be happy and to laugh?' Errh,..no, I neither need nor want to have your permission for anything. Most of this book reads as if the author is on acid or manic-depressive. He is either on cloud nine in thrilling enthusiasm or suicidal and about to starve himself to death.
I give this book 3 stars soley for his description of Anandamayi Ma which I enjoyed. The rest was simply awful. Sorry.

Swami Ramananda is one or the most generous and humble spirits I have been privileged to know in my life. This generosity of Spirit is why he chose to share his intimate journey with Anandamayi Ma in India.

To read his account of his spiritual journey with Ma is to be blessed with the Darshan of this great Indian saint.

I also had the privilege to know Swami Ramananda personally in Las Vegas. Swamaji's spiritual attainments are manifest and he is so kind as to invite spiritual aspirants to his abode which is like stepping into a great temple in India. Swamiji has lovingly assembled many spiritual artifacts direct from the Ganges and temples in India and has generously shared them with all who seek enlightenment. In his home, he has generously shared with spiritual seekers the direct experience of Anandamayi Ma's Darshan through a Murti of Ma.

I have seen the proof of his wonderous journey with Ma as expressed in Bliss Now in Swamiji Ramananda's freely sharing his being, wisdom, time, knowledge and spiritual power with friends, seekers and those in need.

I cannot recommend his book more highly for those who want to know what the Indian spiritual experience is like when a great soul meets up with his Guru/Saint in the form of Anandamayi Ma. We are all blessed to experience this with Swamaji Ramananda as he brings it to life for us in the pages of "Bliss Now" as if we were there too.

With Much Love to Swamiji Ramananda and All His Brother and Sisters Who Seek the Light,

This is by far one of the best books I have ever read. I am a yoga teacher and have an interest for women's roles in spirituality. Books discussing India's great saint Ma were few and far between. I loved reading Swamiji's personal experience. Plus the book has some really great advice and yummy bits of honesty. It is truly a must read for anybody interested in Ma, India, or Yoga.

Reading Bliss Now will change your life. Sri Anandamayi Ma's love for the world comes to us through Swami Ramananada's writings and songs. Whether you read his poetry, hear his voice in a song or vicariously travel with him in "From India With Love", you will find Ma's love, see her smile, hear her laughter and know her peace. Bliss Now, in your life, is only a book away. Thank you Swami for your eternal devotion to share Ma's message with the world.
