Kindle My Heart

by Chidvilasananda

In this remarkable collection of talks, excerpted from her 1985-86 international tour, Swami Chidvilasananda weaves the wisdom of the Indian scriptures together with anecdotes from contemporary life. In her inimitable style, she renders ancient teachings completely relevant through a blend of humor, compassion, and clarity. We are given glimpses throughout into the master's own spiritual process, offered to illustrate typical stumbling blocks while inspiring the seeker to persevere on the path. For this revised one volume edition, twenty one of the original thirty talks have been selected, and a few of the chapters have been retitled to maintain their harmony with the new thematic arrangement.

I'm not sure why I suddenly decided to add this book, and the others before it.

I have been studying Siddha Yoga off and on for about 15 years now. When I first came to this spiritual path, "Kindle My Heart" was the first book I bought. I had to special order it from Brentano's books at Scottsdale Fashion Square, because it was something not ordinarily stocked. Furthermore, at the time, this book was split into two volumes, and it is now available in one simple volume.

It's a series of talks given by Gurumayi in the early 90's at her Ashram in South Fallsburg NY. They are themed, and can be likened to the kind of sermons given by more western spiritualists.

She is brilliant, wise, funny, and irresistible.
