What is it like to receive training from a gifted spiritual teacher? Like the greatest teachers and coaches, Swamiji guided people individually according to their natures. He was often indirect and gentle. Sometimes he waited years to correct someone, and did so with such subtlety that they might not even notice. Sometimes he was very direct. His students marveled at the sensitivity of his training. On many occasions, he answered someone’s unspoken thoughts. We never met anyone who understood people as deeply. 

Many people know Swamiji from his extraordinary collection of talks available online and from his extensive writings. This book is a contribution to the growing collection of books by his students, about what it was like to receive his training and serve on his projects. This collection of stories is offered to help make his presence more real and accessible to you.

As Swami himself said often, Jesus did not come to Earth to show how great he is, but to show how great we can each become. Swami’s presence is kept alive through stories like these — each one a gem with many facets. May there be many that shine as brightly along your spiritual journey as they have for us.

Testimonials

“It is very hard to put into words how much this book means to me. It keeps Swami alive. It strengthens my own memories of him. I’ve learned much from it. I hope to read it again. I feel people should study this book in order to commune with Swami. Many of the stories from the book have been coming into my mind at the right moments later on, sometimes even days after reading a particular passage. Swami speaks to me through this book. In your own way, you have done for Swami, what he did for Master by writing about him.
—Nayaswami Shankara

“Thank you for this beautiful, devotion-filled book. I was deeply inspired by your stories; the faithful loyalty, the humble self-honesty, the many nuggets of wisdom, and many sprinkles of humor. A real gem of a book.
—Sambhava Burke

“I wanted to share how deeply inspiring and uplifting I found your book. It is bringing Swamiji's presence alive so dynamically that it feels as if I were sitting with him in the room absorbing his love, his wisdom, his joy. He also answered some questions that were on my mind lately, through it. It is also a joy to read. Well written, clear, easy flowing. Thank you for this labor of love and discipleship. It is very deeply appreciated.
—Arudra Slisko

“Thank you for your beautiful book on Swamiji. I loved it. I felt like I was living with him the whole time I was reading it. Most especially, I appreciate the fact that, even though the stories, are personal, they contain teachings and principles that every devotee can relate to and apply. Really well done!”
—Ramesha Nani

“Each one of your stories is precious. I’ve read many of them twice. They are great examples of how to have the right attitude when spiritual lessons are, at first glance, difficult or confusing. They made me feel closer to Swamiji, and to the two of you. I'm so grateful you both took the time to share with all of us.” 
—Satyana Hall
