New Books: Fire of Freedom! Wake up & Roar! Papaji Amazing Grace!
The Fire of Freedom, Satsang with Papaji, Volume 1 Edited by David Godman. 291 pages with 15 pages of color photos! $18 plus shipping and handling. June 2007 This is a completely new collection of teaching dialogues between Papaji and visitors who came to see him in Lucknow in the middle of 1991. At that time only about fifteen people would come each day, and all the satsangs were held in the living room of Papaji’s house. In these conversations Papaji explains the practical teachings of his Master, Ramana Maharshi, in a simple and forceful way. As he engages his visitors in discussions about the nature of spiritual freedom and the means by which it can be discovered, he is always looking for an opportunity to take his questioners back to the source of their minds so that they can find out for themselves, by direct experience, what he is trying to show them.
