More About the Author

Baba Hari Dass was initiated in the Vairagi Vaishnava order in 1942 by Baba Raghubar Dassji Maharaj, a renunciate and Sanskrit scholar. Baba Hari Dass has practiced continual silence since 1952, and has developed a deep understanding and compassion for the human condition. Born in a village near Almora, India, he was classically trained in the authentic traditions of yoga that have been passed from guru to disciple over thousands of years. Babaji teaches through writing and by example. Babaji and his teachings have inspired several yoga centers and children's schools. Baba Hari Dass receives no money from the sale of his books; his publications are dedicated instead to the needy and homeless children of India.

This review is from: Everyday Peace : Letters for Life (Paperback)

A beautiful book that allows each person who picks it up to have access to the wisdom and compassion of a master teacher. The topics are universal and highly relevant to each human being who has matured enough to ponder them. This is the distilled wisdom of the ages delivered in response to a genuine seeking.

It is also amazing to me in this day and age that Babaji still gives all the proceeds from his books to the Shri Ram Orphanage. Another example of the generosity of heart that permeates this book.
