4.0 out of 5 stars Time to be Holy : Reflecting on daily Life, March 26, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Time to Be Holy: Reflecting on Daily Life (Paperback)

I felt a connection with the content of this book. It helped in sorting my thoughts and establishing a firm understanding of where I was and where I wished to be. Most importantly I felt it allowed me the room to feel okay about where I chose to be for now as long as I was honest with myself.

This review is from: Time to Be Holy: Reflecting on Daily Life (Paperback)

This is a lovely book. Beautifully presented, with lots of lovely photographs. A great gift item to someone who is interested in finding deeper meaning to life. It is written in very short chapters, which are suitable for daily reflection. There is a great range of topics and you will find a theme for every occassion and for every mood, I'd even say. This book is suitable both for people who are new to Swami Radha's books as well as those who have been following her teachings for some time.

What is good about this book is that it can be read over and over again and I always find something new to reflect on. With this book there is never such point when one feels one knows it. It is a timless book, its wisdom will never be out of date. And this is what I find so valuable about this book.

Swami Radha says: "Take time to reflect, take time to be holy." Through these words she teaches us the importance of reflections. And for me this has been the most important tool I got from her teachings. Daily reflection has become the key to my life. What I like so much about this sentence is that it is so true; taking time to reflect, to think deeply, is taking the time to be holy in a true meaning of this word. It is a simple tool, yet so effective. It doesn't take much time, yet benefits are great.
