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.
