Product Description: The awe-inspiring adventures of an advanced seeker in the Himalayas and plains of India reveal profound truths about the role of the Satguru and the Yoga path to Enlightenment. This classic Story of a Truth Seeker, written as a novel, was written in the Himalayas and includes many personal experiences as well as those of seekers the author encountered. This is a sublimely inspiring account of one soul's path to Liberation told with depth and compassion. SWAMI AMAR JYOTI began writing Spirit of Himalaya-The Story of a Truth Seeker in 1978 while staying in the Kullu Valley of Himachal Pradesh, India. Based partly upon the author's personal experiences while doing sadhana [spiritual practices] in the Himalayas in the 1950s and that of the other holy men there at that time, it presents the timeless story of a spiritual seeker aspiring for Liberation-Mukti. The wisdom and resplendent presence of the immortal Himalayan sages shines within these pages, yet the author has woven the narrative into a contemporary context, fitting its sublime message to be relevant to modern day seekers. - from Amzon
