Bruton has recorded his experiences while searching for a Guru (Holy Teacher) who can initiate him into Yoga. Its a marvelous account of how he traveled the whole country as a critical seeker and found some great Yogi’s and spiritual teachers but could not accept any of them as his Guru until he find Raman Maharshi.

My own Guru Pt. Sriram Sharma Acharya, who is the founder of All World Gayatri Parivar used to say, “when you are going out in the market to but vegetables etc you check thoroughly for quality, so why can’t you do the same when you go in search of a Guru“. The best part I like about Brunton is the critical questions he asked various spiritual leaders in order to test whether they are actually spiritual or merely taking advantage of the people in the name of religion.

This is a great book which presents multiple faces of India at those times and I would highly recommend it to all spiritual seekers.

This book is a collection of 28 questions as asked by one of the disciples of Sri Raman Maharshi. The questions focus on self inquiry. Although this book is only 16 pages but there is a huge depth in the answer to each questions. If studied carefully and practiced as mentioned in the book, one can reach the Goal.

This book is a collection of message giving short stories. As written in the book, Sri Ramana Maharshi used to narrate these stories in order to explain some of his teachings in more depth. My mother has told me some of these stories during my childhood, so it was a pleasure to read them again here especially this time as a lesson/message rather than a plain story.
