5.0 out of 5 stars A Moment of Joy, September 9, 2005

By	Gavin G. Dillard "poet/songwright" (Ha'iku, HI) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Bliss Now is a beautifully rendered, intimate tale of one of the great saints of our age. Swami Ramananda's account of his salvation within the forest of Vrindaban has flushed me with tears more than once. And anything that brings me closer to Sri Sri Ma is worth the rewards of a lifetime. Everyone must read this Joyful account.

3.0 out of 5 stars He is so full of himself, January 5, 2009

By	Corinna "ulli344" - See all my reviews

I have read many many spiritual books. I have never met any 'spiritual teacher' who is so full of himself, so vain and so patronizing as this swami. I am sorry if that sounds harsh but I just couldn't take his spiritual boasting any more. He even has the cheek to say in his introduction, 'may I give you permission to be happy and to laugh?' Errh,..no, I neither need nor want to have your permission for anything. Most of this book reads as if the author is on acid or manic-depressive. He is either on cloud nine in thrilling enthusiasm or suicidal and about to starve himself to death.
I give this book 3 stars soley for his description of Anandamayi Ma which I enjoyed. The rest was simply awful. Sorry.

5.0 out of 5 stars BLISS NOW by Swami Ramanada, July 23, 2003

By	Larry Castonguay (San Francisco, CA) - See all my reviews

Great book from a great man/Swami! I would highly recommend anything by this man and Swami.

His latest CD, Wings of a Dawn is amazing. The CD he wrote in memory of his friend the Indian female astronaut who died in the Shuttle accident. This song he sang at the service.

If you are able to see Swamiji perform anywhere, go you'll love him. Swami Ramananda spent much of his life with Anandamayi Ma. To be near Swami Ramananda is to be near Ma. Ma is a true Saint!
