A friend of mine motivated me to know about this great guru Mukund lal ghosh (now called Paramahamsa yoganandha). I was in station to catch train from Hyd to Pune and as still time left out for the trian to arrive, I just went and looking at the magazines and books in a shop. Its my usual habit to buy swathi weekly (telugu magazine) and spend time in the train. As I asked the shopkeeper he said swathi weekly is not available. My eyes were staring at the only book which was lying to my sight straight. I ignored and looking at something in telugu. Again my eyes focused on the book and small zeal in my blood forced me to pick that up. The book is “Autobiography of a Yogi”. I turned the book upside down and the price is just 75 bucks. Not being sure whether I can read or not, I bought it and started reading in the train. The book has opened my mind to know about the real spiritual world which is far away to be understood by a normal man. The book portrays every phase in humans life and its spiritual background. It also refers bible. bhagavadgeeta and ellaborates few healthy statements. I was surprised to see that it is all the same which is written in all these books. But the interpretations by ignorant people varies and hence we have different opnions on them. It also explains the sincere relationship between guru and disciple. I liked every line of the book. I can write more, more and more here but I suggest anybody to read the book to open up your spiritual eye. Its a myth that people should abandon worldy stuff to know and pursue spiritual path. This has also been debunked in this book.
