Bhagawan Nityananda of Ganeshpuri

The author, Swami Muktananda did a great job in sharing his stories and love of his guru. I love this book. It is very well put together. It is definately a page turner. I have a ton of books on yoga, and it's Saints of India. This book about Shree Gurudev (Bhagawan Nityanada) is amazing. With in every paragraph you learn so much. Every page holds it's own. It was an enjoyable read but most of all it was an education. I still can't believe how much is shared about Shree Gurudev in this book. No stone is left unturned. Shree Gurudev is all and all is given to you in this easy to read and powerful book about an amazing Sage. If you are thinking about getting this book, don't think, just get it! Om Namo Bhagawan Nityananda.

What I expected when I got this book was to read Nityananda's biography - however, the book is written more in a form of Muktananda's adoration of his guru, and in between the lines of Muktananda's outpouring of love for his guru, Muktananda inserts a little bit of information about Nityananda's life and teachings. Whatever little of that information is offered it is still priceless. Nityananda urged everyone to meditate on the immortal, eternal, universal Self. "Nityananda loved solitude and he lived alone. He usually travelled on foot, moving through the woods and mountains with lightning speed. People say he could move from one place to another at the speed of thought." "He built many caves and houses without taking money from anyone. He would tell the workers to take their wages from under any stone in the jungle, and they used to get the right amount. When the ashram was being built in Kanhangad, the police came to investigate. They wanted to know where Gurudev (Nityananda) was getting the money. He led the police through the wild jungle to a lake full of crocodiles, jumped into the water, and pulled out bundle after bundle of brand-new rupee notes, which he tossed to the police. Frightened and astonished, the policed bowed to him and ran away." "Occasionally Gurudev would get on a tain. If he was asked for a ticket, he would produce thousands of tickets from his loincloth. If he was asked to get off, the train would stop and not run anymore." "Local people saw him walking on the waters of the Pavanja River. Many times he fed thousands of people with sweets, and no one had the slightest idea where the sweets came from." Nityananda thought that one should cultivate the purity of mind, the purity of feeling and faith in God. "One becomes exactly what one's mind dwells on intensely and with firm resolve."

I lost this book and had to order it again, it's so good. When I wake up early in the morning I walk outside my house with a cup of coffe reading the book slowly without any hurry; it really helps me to start the day with good vibes

Amazing book! Muktananda and Nityananda are such blessings in life,,, their teachings and example fills me with love and hope of one day being able to realize like they did!!!

A most excellent read. Any one interested in Eastern thought, spirituality or even curious, this is one of those must reads.....enjoyable to reread as well.

Wish I had read these while taking my Yoga Teacher Training- amazing and mind opening... A good read for anyone

Yes! I am enjoying learning about Bhagwan very much.

This is an amazing personality. Book is good and tries to do justice to the life of Bhagawan Nityananda.
