5.0 out of 5 stars The best book I know for the True seeker, February 12, 2005

This review is from: Divine Play, the Silent Teaching of Shivabalayogi (Paperback)

The Divine Play offers a very real insight into the True experiences the seeker derives from faithfully following the self-realised Yogi, Shri Shivabalayogi Maharaj!

I have not known of another book in modern times which offers such a concise and comprehensive account of what it means to be really on the Spirtual Path.

Tom Palotas has evidently been very Blessed by his Guru to be able to write about Him in such a manner that has the reader riveted to the book till all 288 pages of the beautifully bound and well illustrated book has been completely read.

The book reflects Shri Shivabalayogi Maharaj's Teachings in the best possible light that any new or existing Sadhaka or spirtual aspirant will find it an eye-opening experience.

Meditation is indeed the way to reach the Truth and this book i daresay provides an authoritative guide on the Divine Yogi who has made it possible for the multitudes to find It regardless of the Path they follow!

5.0 out of 5 stars Biography a real winner!!!, February 7, 2005

Just finished reading Tom Palotas' new book Divine Play: Silent Teachings of Shivabalayogi
The writing style is exciting and terrific. The book is very interesting, inspiring, and attention grabbing. The reader feels so involved that he can't put down the book. It was not an easy job to condense the 900 page resource rersearch notes into a 300 page readable book. But the author Tom Palotas with intense devotion to his spiritual meditation teacher Shivabalayogi, has produced a really fascinating book. Bravo!!!
Tom Palotas really did a great job in putting in all those many beautiful pictures of Shivabalayogi throughout the book. The print, binding, and paper quality is superior to any Indian edition.
You really get tuned into Shivabalayogi's living presence by reading this inspired book. The one consistent theme of the book is to meditate to experience the highest truth within. This book will certainly encourage numerous truth seekers to practice and follow the universal path of meditation.
To read about the life story of a realized yogi such as Shivabalyogi is to catch a glimpse of the glory of God's presence among humanity.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Yogi's life can never be described in Words, March 27, 2005

This review is from: Divine Play, the Silent Teaching of Shivabalayogi (Paperback)

Shiva Bala Yogi is amongst the greatest Yogis who have blessed this earth with their existence.

The purpose of this book is to offer a mere glimpse of His Glory and Life so that the reader can come in touch with this Great Master.

Tom Palotas has faithfully assimilated the experiences of so many devotees who have felt the profound Divine Grace of Swamiji. The conversations with Swamiji provide insight to the great love that Swamiji has for each one of us and also make us aware of our limitations to comprehend the Divine.

Shiva Bala Yogi is to be experienced to be understood. The greatest truth is He is there to be experienced for everyone irrespective of caste, creed, religion and race.

Please feel free to read this book with a open mind and experience Shiva Bala Yogi enrich your lives and understanding
