"I loved that this author explored India the way I might. Wanting to find inspiration/insight but always having a skeptical eye. He went quite slowly, as far as explaining the spirituality of gurus. Then, at the end, he LEAPT to some high spirituality. I wish there had been a medium step to bridge the gap. Brunton has many books and I have just requested about 5 of them. I'll write about them as I read them."
"Demystify India and what it really is! contemporary Indians have gotta read it.. and understand what their real legacy is, where there come from and why one should be proud of our history."
"Unputdownable!! A must read and must own book. I know I will read this book again. The author has shared his invaluable and spellbounding dialogues with Maharishis and Yogi's. Its a great service to a man kind that the author has shared his experience."
"What a long journey this book was. The author went up and down India, into jungles, across desserts, all in search of a rishee. By the time he actually found the rishee, or Maharishee in this case, I was so tired of reading the book that I didn't even realize this was the big deal of the whole story!
Additionally, each page was packed with such dense writing and descriptions that I had to read them over and over again sometimes. But I did learn a lot about India and about the extensive search one goes through, especially in 1937, so find a yogi. And for that alone - that the author showed me how exhausting and extensive such a search is - I have to give the book 3 stars.
But if you're looking for light, quick reading, this might not be the best choice..."
