Kindle My Heart (Rev Syda) [Paperback]

Swami Chidvilasananda (Author), Chidvilasananda (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: May 1996

In this remarkable collection of talks, excerpted from her 1985-86 international tour, Swami Chidvilasananda weaves the wisdom of the Indian scriptures together with anecdotes from contemporary life. In her inimitable style, she renders ancient teachings completely relevant through a blend of humor, compassion, and clarity. We are given glimpses throughout into the master's own spiritual process, offered to illustrate typical stumbling blocks while inspiring the seeker to persevere on the path. For this revised one volume edition, twenty one of the original thirty talks have been selected, and a few of the chapters have been retitled to maintain their harmony with the new thematic arrangement.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book can make your life more serene if you let it., June 14, 1997

This review is from: Kindle My Heart Set (Hardcover)

Gurumayi is my Guru and meditation teacher. I am deeply indepted to her for the inner peace and stability that I enjoy in my life. Read these volumes to learn secrets to meditation. Do not be concerned that Gurumayi is not Jewish or Christian. The truths she speaks are at the core of all the major religions. She is a realized being whose very presence brings peace and joy. Her words can fill your heart, if you let them. Gurumayi begins and ends every public program by saying, "With great respect and love, I welcome you with all my heart." These words of love are the spirit of the meditation she teaches. I offer this book for sale through my personal bookstore: http://www.erols.com/peterbb/bookstor.htm. Peter B.
