Review: Grateful for this guide - I'm grateful to Om Swami for this comprehensive guide to mantra sadhana. When so many spiritual organizations seem to want people to be dependent on them, to come back over and over for "the next step," Om Swami clearly has our best interest in mind, wanting us to be independent, empowered seekers. For a book that handles such complex topics, it's incredibly well organized and easy to follow. I'm excited to apply the practices in my life! Note: I first read the Kindle version. There's some editing and mechanical errors, such as the Gayatri mantra being misprinted and certain instructions in sadhanas pointing to non-existing sections (e.g. It says the Ganesha sadhana will have different ingredients for every night and says the different ingredients will be listed later on. There's no list that follows. It's likely that this is an editing mistake and the sadhana doesn't require different ingredients after all). I got the printed version to see if these mistakes were Kindle-only, but it's in the printed version too. Long story short--The Kindle and print version seem to be the same, so don't bother doing what I did.
Review: A great book by the venerable Swami - A great book by the venerable Swami. This book lays the foundations of the science - all the technicalities involved, the methods of invoking Mantras, the rules of the "game" so to say (not disrespectfully). But, there is some art in it too - and that is the Bhakti, the faith involved. One may think of that as the "axioms" in any scientific subject. Swami claims that if one is ready to believe in the axioms and follows the rules with zeal, results will be forthcoming. Even though, this is all too hard to believe, without doing what he says, one can hardly claim anyways. But the book is a gem - coming from a true adept, a person so steeped in his devotion, that his diction speaks of itself. A must read for the enthusiast. However, rest assured, following Mantra Yoga will be not significantly easier even if you read this book! As Swami says (maybe elsewhere) - "If you do what I did, you will get what I got". But what he did, is in itself a herculean task ....

I'm grateful to Om Swami for this comprehensive guide to mantra sadhana.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ For a novice like a medical intern on call
*by M***S on May 27, 2018*

This book is a manual for walking on a path of self awakening. Many in medical profession will recall the first night of being on call. You are worried, concerned and apprehensive. You have the knowledge but NO experience. But you feel reassured by a small book that you carry in your pocket, and it tells you how to treat various maladies. For a novice like a medical intern on call, for a devotee on a call to find his Rama", this book tells you all the techniques, precautions,almost like a senior surgeon guiding an intern during complex operation. But here the operation is on "Self" to get to know "ReaI I ", the instruments are mantra and swami ji is senior surgeon. Swami ji tells one how to reach: "तू तू करता तू भया, मुझमें रही न हूं। बारी तेरे नाम पर, जित देखूं तित तूं।।". I recommend this book highly for any spiritually oriented person who is interested in ancient Indian wisdom, to have a step wise manual for spiritual awakening. Every book by swami ji thoroughly researched, full of easy to understand examples, and sprinkled with swami ji's wisdom,charm and love. The narration is so beautiful and realistic you feel as if it happening in front of your eyes. If words have power, swami words do, for you get so engrossed that within the lines of the book, you see Shiva, you feel Ma Ganga, you touch Gyatri. Please do not doubt me if I tell you, Swami ji is Tulsi, Dinkar, ShivMangal Sing Suman,Galib, and Wordsworth...all combined in one. Please read his other books like "A fistful of love"...you would be convinced.
