Book Description

ISBN-10: 0963219413 | ISBN-13: 978-0963219411 | Publication Date: March 1992

This book introduces to the world an extraordinary development. Full awakening is possible here and now for everybody, regardless of background, practice or personal circumstances. This possibility is the teaching and transmission of Sri H. W. L. Poonja.

Many people have experienced glimpses of truth through psychedelics or meditating or unexpected moments of bliss. Yet, because of incorrect understanding, these moments usually get incorporated into the ego as just another experience. There is an unspoken belief that it is not possible to be totally awakened in this lifetime. Wake Up and Roar announces the possibility of true Freedom now. No postponement or practice necessary! This is Sri Poonjaji's gift to the world.

5.0 out of 5 stars Transformation of human consciousness is procedding at a subtle level, May 17, 2006

By 

Cyber Pilgrim "Pilgrim in Cyber" (Hobart, Tasmania Australia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Wake Up and Roar: Satang With H. W. L. Poonja, Vol. 1 (Paperback)

David Godman who edits the series (2 books) has done an excellent labour of love. He has very diligently follwed up Ramana Maharishi's disciples to all corners of India to get an objective account of life and teachings of Ramana - the sage of Arunachala. His other series Power of Presence (3 volumes) is another set I can recommend. There is no hype nor any seemingly over enthusiastic attitude in these documentaries. It is amazing that after seven decades of masters demise, still the seeds are cropping up at unpredictable places. The work of a master does not end with his physical life is very true. In times of conflicts it is of some relief to know that transformation of human consciousness is procedding at a subtle level by many such masters and fortunately it is beyond the reach of political and religous organisations. David Godman has done a great service in providing these books.

5.0 out of 5 stars Profound Wisdom, Extraordinary Sage, June 2, 2008

By 

Katie Davis "Author, Awake Joy" (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Wake up and Roar (Hardcover)

This version of "Wake Up and Roar" is a compilation of two formerly published books, Volume I and II, with the added treasure of photos of this contemporary, extraordinary sage of modern day India, Papaji.

The book is presented in a dialogue manner, so that the reader is able to witness the intuitive manner in which he guided his students in satsang. This is a book that every student who is awakening will eventually read and it will be referred to time and again for clarity and confirmation. It is among the top of my recommended reading for its wisdom on Self-realization, nond-duality and the principles of Advaita.

5.0 out of 5 stars The most simple thing explained as simple as possible, June 16, 2007

Richard - See all my reviews

This review is from: Wake Up and Roar: Satang With H. W. L. Poonja, Vol. 1 (Paperback)

Papaji has an amazing talent with words, one of the best if not the best I have read in my opinion.
His words lead you into the void, while reading it do the "mental acrobatics" which will lead you
directly into the nothingness the stillness that is beyond all thought.
Then again there are no tricks to it; it's your intent that matters.
