The Book of Faith: True Inspirational Stories of Om Swami
Compiled and edited by Sadhvi Vrinda Om
True inspirational stories to help you transform your life
The unalloyed truth told by twelve people like you and I.
As the river of life dries up, with each passing moment, our dreams of childhood give way to the reality of life, which is not always pleasant or fair. There is so much we don’t control and can’t change. In these difficult and lonely moments, we wonder if there is anyone in this world or any other whom we can count on. If faith moves mountains, then how do we build such faith and how do we know it will work for us? What is faith, anyway?
From a physicist to a physician, an injured bird to an erudite Brahmin, people from different walks of life and religions share their incredible stories of rapid transformation, all united by the common thread of faith in one person – Om Swami. Every story makes you think and dares you to see the world differently. The Book of Faith is unlike anything ever written in the modern times.
NAVJOT GAUTAM is a postgraduate in Journalism and Mass Communication from Punjabi University, Patiala. She has worked with top organizations in the fields of health, education, IT and hospitality.
SADHVI VRINDA OM is an award-winning poet and author. She graduated from Sophia College, Ajmer, and went on to pursue an MBA. The turning point of her life though was to pen a mesmerizing non-fiction, Om Swami: As We Know Him. It has been hailed transformational by readers.

I can't write a review of this book.
Instead, I leave Rumi's words which I came across today:
"Although I may try to describe Love, when I experience it, I am speechless."

We are baby birds in Swami's hands
I always have this tendency to review books written about Om Swami a bit late. Why? Because the emotions are overwhelming! I end up shedding tears when I read about Him. Each page in this beautiful book is my worship towards Om Swami.
How (and where) do I begin to sing His Glories? This beautiful book has stories of faith and devotion, compiled in a wonderful manner. To each devotee, Swami appears like the Beloved Lord He is, tending carefully like a parent would.
'Parent' is indeed a small word to describe Him as He is everything to me - He is my mother, father, God, Guru and everything. He is my entire Universe.
So, even if you don't know who Swami is, it is a great book to know Him (As all the stories are first-hand unalloyed truths of miracle and love). All the experiences about Swamiji will connect to your innermost being. Why? Because He sets us free. His love is Divine. He is an embodiment of Love Himself.
Hence, 'The book of faith' isn't just a book to me! It is my object of affection, my strength and hope.
Hope you'll find your truth in these pages too :)
Happy reading!

✨ Life changing book and stories about a real saint
I cannot even explain how much this book has changed my life.
Have you met a living saint? A real one? What are the chances that you will ever meet one? Having traveled through different parts of India, I did not see many.
But I was very blessed to meet Om Swami (and it all started with the book).
This book is about him. Filled with true stories of different kinds of people (like you and me).
This is very rare.
Let this book be your first meeting with Om Swami through the eyes of others. After you finish the book, you will likely board a plane (as I did) to see him in person in his ashram at the foothills of the Indian Himalayas (my first meeting with him happened in October 2021).
Do this now, as you are holding a gem in front of you.
Immense gratitude to Sadhviji and Navjotji, as well as to the authors of the stories and other people for putting this gift together for all of us 🙏🙏🙏

All the stories in this book only grow your faith about Swamiji and I came to understand that Swamiji is nothing less than God after reading this. The final story from Mahabharata about faith (which is from his blog) really clarifies what faith is.
Bonus: There were photos of Swamiji before renunciation and he looked super smart in suit

Faith can move mountains I read and cannot be more true after the book took me in somewhat a roller coaster ride. What is and what is not possible after you read this book. Thank you for sharing the experiences and stories 🙏🏼🙏🏼

A soul moving masterpiece, brimming true accounts of pure love and devotion. Each story is an ode to how unconditional affection and care can permanently destroy ignorance and align us with the divine source. Reverence to the great master - Om Swami.

Pure bliss
I've been reading and following Om Swami for about a year now and this book has made me realise why his voice and his words make me forget everything I'm going through.
Just pray to be able to in his presence once

Mesmerizing,Magical,Miraculous powers of Grace!
First of all my humble obeisance at the divine lotus feet of Swamiji.
Since I have been following Swamiji for several years now, this book just strengthens faith about him and sheds much more light on his early life events filled with divine grace. He is nothing less than Divine himself. Those who came in his contact in this lives and touched by his grace have undoubtedly received Moksha(liberation) in this life. It gives goosebumps while reading several events filled with laughter,cries,devotion and surrender. Its like knowing nothing about him even after reading so much.For one cannot really measure the vastness of ocean filled with divine grace. With such books we can get just a glimpse of his infinite glory and just do our bit to offer ourselves at his lotus feet.
Thanks Sadhvi Vrinda Om and Navjot ji for giving these experiences. Jai Sri Hari _/\_
