Guest guest Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 Please read the book: my life , its legacy and message.. Autor took the same route of Gagotri, Gomukh, tapovan , sundervan to go into deeper sections of Himalayas... Also, next time you go to Gangotri, please look up for Swami Sundaranada ( four kutirs upwards from Garval vikas Nigam Guest house) who has been wondering in Himalayas taking beautiful pictures. He just publsihed a book titled: Himalayas, throught a lens of a Sadhu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yegan Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 I just finished reading the online version(Not full version, but the online version easily take a full day to go through) of Autobiography of a Yogi, by Paramhansa Yogananda. Very nice . Highly recommended. Show very good example of Guru/Disciple relation, the divine powers that can be exhibited by yogi and peaceful messages from Gita and Bible. There are other books available free online as well. The link is http://www.ananda.org/inspiration/books/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vipul Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 If you live in India, you can buy this book from any of the book stores listed on the following web link. http://www.awgp.org/English/Literature/Books/gayatri_svp.html- The original Hindi book is titled" Meri Vasiyat aur Virasat). |IF you live outside of Inida, please send me an email at patelvipulk--at-hotmail.com and I can have it shipped to you. ( These books are not avialalbe on Amazon, I think someone is selling it for extremly high price in hte order of USD 20 or so, while the autor of hte book only wanted to charge the cost for paper and printing-- for all his 3000 books as he worte them for spiritual upliftment of society and ot for making any profit for it) If you live in Inida, you can buy Autobiography of a yogi ( or Yogi Kathamrut in Hindi) from Cross words. outside you can buy it from B&N or Amazon.com. The red soft cover copy of this book in B&N ( typically on the self in Eastern relegions section) for USD $6.00. Swami Rama's book is alos aviaialbe on B&N and Amazon.com Vipul..

vipul Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 You may have to call. many people in India do not use emails frequently.. Also, please do not expect good customer service. most spiritual persons will not steal money but timely service may not be there. ( please check on amamzon if someone selling it or not..) Swami Tadatmanda ( my American gita teacher in NJ, www.arshabodha.org, disciple of Swami Dayandna: www.avgsatsang.org)) told us a stroy once about accpeting sitations around us: One of his freind was on the railway station andhte train was late, After 8 hrs of waintg ( it was common 20 yrs ago), he lost it andwent to the station master and throught the timetable on his desk and asked" why do you even have one" and the station master looked up and with a cool replied" so that one can find out how late the train is).
