Guest guest Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 I guess you really think they're important since you cross posted this at many groups. How many here have read them, (hand up).

Guest guest Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 Please note that, while the the Svoboda books can offer an entertaining read, they should not be considered as authoritative. Svoboda is an old hippie who did the India thing back in the 70's, and has since forged a lucrative career talking and writing about Indian mysticism. While he deserves some credit for popularizing the topic and making it accessible to a wide Western (and Indian) audience, I do not know of a single serious sadhaka who considers Svoboda's work as more than a fictionalized memoir. He recycles the same old myths, exagerrations and stereotypes -- only this time for a more sympathetic, culturally sensitive generation of readers. This is not necessarily a condemnation. I have read Svoboda's work and it is okay -- better than remaining totally ignorant on the topic. The books have their value, and Svoboda does well for himself lecturing at various New Age and Yoga retreats and conferences. Feel free to support him if you like; no harm done. But don't give his books too much weight. Again, to a large extent they are simply sensationalized fiction.
