In Days of Great Peace

by Mouni Sadhu

For several years Mouni Sadhu steeped himself in the teachings of the foremost Hindu ascetic, Sri Ramana Maharshi. This book, first published in 1957, is the best attempt by a European to describe without technicalities what such teachings entail, what meditation is about, and why Indians worship their gurus. Mouni Sadhu's rare facility for describing his own mental and spiritual states enables him to pass on to the reader his knowledge and enthusiasm. It is an authentic account of life with an inspired Hindu yogi and spiritual teacher.

Reviews

[John · Rating 5 out of 5]

Beautiful book about how Mouni Sadhu spend time with the Great Maharishi, not long before he died. Mouni Sadhu, as a previous cultivator in Hermeticism and concentration, had a ton of great perspective to bring to the table with his encounter with one of the greatest just recently before our times. Very few western cultivators are as serious as Mouni Sadhu, so this is a great book to read if you aspire to be one as well.

Muy interesante

Se siente la sinceridad profunda del autor. El aspecto devocional, quizá demasiado destacado en relación a la indagación misma, parece ser una impronta propia de Mouni Sadhu. De mucha utilidad para los que amamos la enseñanza de Ramana Maharshi
