Editorial Reviews

Review

The Light of Ten Thousand Suns is the first book of poetry by this great scholar and teacher. These pages are a self-revelation, full of wisdom. They shine upon his personal life as well, his growth, his moments of darkness, his commitment to the master, and his s teps into the brightness of spiritual unity. Through these pages we walk in the burning light that purified Swami Veda s life. There are days, of course, when we feel that the sun has abandoned us, and when the cold struggles of life seem to overwhelm our sincere efforts. At such moments we are offered a ray of light from one who has tread our path. From the words of Swami Veda we can be assured that the glory of life and the way to the divine is beckoning us. --Justin O Brien, Ph.D., Yes News & View, Fall 1998
