Summary: A good book
Comment: Overall I found this to be a very good book, worth many rereads, mainly because the author has written about many fascinating personalities who lived in the early 20th century India. However, one of the minus points of this book is that Paul Brunton takes himself too seriously. I think the pride and arrogance of being a "genuine" spiritual seeker comes out too strongly in his narrative.

Summary: OH- MEN YOU POSSESS SOMETHING
Comment: One of my GURU asked me to read this book. when I start to read I do not know someone keeps on telling me that do not stop reading.
After finished my reading Iam fully convinced that there is something in our GOD given life not only work/eat/sleep. you are the GOD and you can see GOD in others.

Summary: A western journalist's truth-seeking trip in India (1900s)
Comment: The author has written many books in spirituality; This is one of earlier books. It records his experiences in India, when he met many kind of peoples of various spiritual inclinations. This India is in sense ' secret India' to a typical modern indian also. He is not a impartial traveller. He is also personally seeking, but skeptical and cautious. He discusses about Mehar Baba who claimed himself as Messiah (avatar). He gives details of their discussions. He introduces us to different yogis, their life styles and their world views. Sage-head of Kanchi mutt directs him to Ramana of the Hill of the Holy Beacon. In the conversions with Ramana, Burton is quite clear about skeptical views. He stays for some time with Ramana and later leaves for further travel. He meets magicians (siddhas) and astrologers. He decides to leave India, books for his ship in Bomabay. Suddenly, he evalutes his experiences and decide to return to Ramana for further guidance. He goes to Ramana, learns about " Who am I?" enquiry and practices it with his support. He leaves India with a positive outlook of spiritual nature of man. Later he continues his search; wirtes many books; guides people; (Recently critized in a book for his guru role). The book is highly readable. It is true is that his pride and judgements distort the true picture, but it is seeker's book.
