Back in 1996 when I was 40 years old somebody gave me a copy of this book for a Christmas present. It stopped me in my tracks. Where WAS I going? What most impressed me initially with Swami Muktananda's writing was how clearly he seemed to understand my existential quandry, as if, without even knowing me, he understood everything about my spiritual predicament, as well as having knowledge of subjects far beyond my grasp. Well, I was hooked. I now have a collection of two big boxes full of Muktananda books and Muktananda-related books. What can I say, Muktananda is one of those rare beings with the ability to impart Shakti to his readers, just with his word.

This is a great book for the beginner starting out on the path to self-realization. It is written in a style that is very easy to understand and contains some simple and yet profound truths towards enlightenment. I particularly liked the chapter on the mantra - om namah shivayah - and how the author recommends chanting it on the commute to work or when you have idle time. It's certainly been working for me and this little book is now a permanent fixture, dipped into regularly, on the bookshelf.

Buy it and do your Self a favour

My daily meditations have greatly improved through the knowledge revealed by this great yogic master on meditation, the mind, the Self, the mantra, Shakti, the Guru, and much, much more. This book is an invaluable guide for anyone on the long and often arduous spiritual journey to God-realization and liberation.

If you are looking for one book that will take you through the ups and downs of life this is it. Baba Muktananda the Master Guide will show you where EXACTLY you are going . This book has been my guide ever since I laid eyes upon it.

"We are all God" is the KEY message of this book and getting ourselves to REALLY REALIZE it is the most difficult part. It is our own disbelief in ourselves being GOD that is stopping us from attaining true, ultimate BLISS and HAPPINESS. Muktananda explains to us how to get rid of our negativity and doubt. He gives us the secrets of sounds (the mantra), breathing technique (our natural mantra that we do every time we take a breath)! Just as "The One Minute Guide to Prosperity and Enlightenment" gives us further, detailed SECRET TECHNIQUES that will SAVE US VALUABLE TIME & ENERGY so we can attain HAPPINESS & BLISS immediately! This book was TERRIFIC, it explains the Eastern Traditions in simple, easily understood and VERY ATTAINABLE terms. It is an awsome look at how we complicate everything ourselves and gives us the solutions to make changes in our life right now!
Thank you Muktananda for revealing these sacred techiques to us!!!

Isn't worth the price, the sections on mantra and meditation are good. You might as well buy conversations with Muktananda it's more thorough.

This book is a life changing book...opening a new pathway of perspective like none other. A teacher had given me this book to borrow, ever since ive become enlightened for the better. This book is (in my opinion) a tool of life that supplements the reader's spiritual side of them...All in all becoming the beautiful person that they are.

This book will get you started on your mystic journey. There are many great saints and their written works referenced so you can continue your study. The book is easy to read and is broken into small pieces that one can read before meditation or sleep on during your coffee break!

Swami Muktananda is a recognized spiritual master who spent many years in the West, including the US, Europe and Australia.

There is so much to learn from reading this book. Then re-read it again and again.
