Mystical Girnar is a book that will take you on a spiritual journey which will help you understand the world outside and the one within yourself. This book is an interesting tale of Grihastha and his journey with accomplished saints which will quench your thirst of the spiritual knowledge and Vedic wisdom.

Usually, I don’t read spiritual books, but when Megha told us about the book and asked us to review it, I got interested to see what mystical things I will find in the book. The book is written as a narration by Anantrai G. Raval where she has beautifully explained her time with the saints of Girnar and their learnings.

“𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝗮 𝗴𝗲𝗺 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗼𝗻𝗲'𝘀 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘁𝗵.”
.
This book by Megha is a translation of the original Gujrati book by the author and she has done a great job in capturing the essence of the book and has beautifully preserved the knowledge of the author and the saints for the entire world to read.
.
For me, the book was like a roller coaster which had its ups and downs. Some of the teachings and experiences will always be with me for my entire life while I didn’t understand a few things at all. I loved how the author has used science to explain mystical things time and again. Sometimes, the book was truly unputdownable.

“𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗻𝗼 𝘀𝗶𝗻𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗰𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗯𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘀𝗵𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝗯𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲.”
.
All in all, the book has the magic to take you places and answer your unasked questions. It is a spiritual book, so my suggestion will be to read it with an open mind and absorb as much as you can.

RATING: 3.5/5
