Main Kya Hoon - Pandit Shri Ram Sharma Acharya

Today I finished reading a very good book "Main Kya Hoon" by Pandit Shri Ram Sharma Acharya of Shantikuj, Haridwar.

In the book, Gurudev provides the practical methods of "Sadhana" for self attainment. He takes the readers from the knowledge of self: "What am I? my source of strength; place, time needs, means of resources and friends for me" to self realisation "So'ahamasmi-I am that " meaning My immortal soul is an inseparable and indivisible portion of the absolute spirit (Parmatman) in its ultimate state.

Reality at Dawn

Just completed reading "Reality at Dawn", a book by great spiritual master Mahatma Ram Chandra of Shahjahanpur or Revered Babuji Maharaj (1899-1983) as everyone so lovingly calls him.

This book explains the purpose and goal of life and how one can attain this goal by sincerely following his Guru. Book also explains why one should find a Guru, who can be the Guru as all the preachers cannot be a Sadguru. The book is a must read by those having inclination towards spirituality or those who are perplexed with the mystique of religion and spirituality. Author Shri Ramchandra ji was an exponent of Raja Yoga and he taught the simple way or Sahaj Marg system to realise or experience the truth hidden behind the complexities of the teachings of great ancient Rishis.
