What can a minion like me comment about Lahiri Mahasya, the great Yogi of the late 19th century....
No words can describe his life..As is said in Gita, the Lord advents every time there is a decadence of Dharma. Yogiraj is one such advent of the Supreme Soul..

Blessed are the people who were able to see him in physical body. Even more blessed are the people who were his disciples and were able to serve him from close quarters. Supremely blessed are the people who with their unwavering faith in him (their guru) were able to attain salvation at his lotus feet (like Krishnaram)...

The book itself is immensely difficult to read. One of the more difficult books that I have read..However, it took me a while as the content is very deep and had to pause ever so often.. The last few chapters were a breeze as the final days of the great GURU and some of his disciples were laid out..

Overall, if you are spiritually inclined, and a believer of Santana Dharma, this is a must read. It is a very rare book as there are very few books written about Lahiri Mahasaya in English. Whatever is available, they are mostly in Bengali...

My sincere pranams to this great GURU, Yogiraj and complete prostrations to the lotus feet of this giant among Yogis...May I and all those whose endeavor to read this book obtain his blessings in their own spiritual quest.
