Spirit of Himalaya — The Story of a Truth Seeker |
Like Hesse’s Siddhartha, Spirit of Himalaya is the fictionalized journey of a spiritually advanced individual through his last incarnation. Swami Amar Jyoti has an original talent, not just for telling a story, but also for enlightening his readers as he heightens their curiosity and enthusiasm. For its sincerity, originality and philosophical clarity, this book deserves to be read, again and again. Don’t miss it.
—John Dan Reib, author of Transformations
I just now finished reading Spirit of Himalaya and am still wrapped in its warm glow. It is a beautiful, inspiring treatise.
—Ruth Montgomery, author of The World to Come: The Guides’ Long-Awaited Predictions for the Dawning Age
Spiritual quest is a perennial feature of human life. This quest has led man to contemplation in solitude, to yogic Sadhana, to the awakening of the Kundalini and the like. It is the quest for self-realization (Atmanubhuti). Beginning with the Vedas down to the present, different ways have been shown by sages. Swami Amar Jyoti presents in this work the same quest, but in the form of a story. The Himalaya is the symbol of Eternal Wisdom. It is symbolic of Mother Nature, of the oneness of Shiva and Shakti. The author employs Himalaya and the pilgrimage there to “unfold the spirit of Man” in accordance with the Eternal Cosmic Reality. The story is impressive. Satyakam passes through various experiences in life until at last he attains spiritual maturity, becomes an illumined sage and dedicates himself to the sacred mission of bringing spiritual peace to mankind. Powerful truths are communicated here.
