5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful introduction to the greatest Master!, July 16, 2003

By	Abhay Joshi (Atlanta, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar is truly the greatest living spiritual Master of today. This book presents him in a very enchanting way, with stories and experiences of seekers who have been with Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. It's incredible to notice how simple and natural a Master can be and how he can bring profound changes in the life of a true seeker.

A must read ~ Just go for it.
