Description
In this absorbing portrait, American-born author Sadhvi Bhagawati Saraswati weaves a breathtaking tapestry of exotic journeys, meetings with remarkable people, and practical wisdom from the extraordinary life of a renowned Indian spiritual leader, Pujya Swami Chidanand Saraswati.
The prodigal variety of stories ranges from evocations in a glass of milk to impossible constructions at the mountainous summit of the world, from cacophonous urban battlefields to silent forest retreatsβan impassioned life, a one-man civilization drawn in bold strokes and bright colours. Here is a journey of the enlightened life to be cherished again and again.
Practical wisdom, a connection to the Divine, and global actionβthese are the traits of Pujya Swami Chidanand Saraswati that have made him one of Indiaβs most renowned and beloved spiritual teachers.
This commemorative volume celebrates his sixty years of devotional service to humanity, the environment, and the Supreme. The book traces Pujya Swamiβs journey from childhood in the jungles of India to the company of world leaders, from Himalayan villages to the podiums of the United Nations, the World Economic Forum, and other venues of global change.
His projects are unprecedented, including a cleanup of the 1,560-mile-long Ganges River and a six-million-word encyclopaedia of Hinduism. Swamiji's teachings are profoundly simple, frequently wrapped in humour and applicable to all.
Elaborately illustrated, this is a fascinating portrait of the life, achievements, and teachings of an acclaimed spiritual pioneer.
