About this title

Synopsis

Retired bank president, golfer, husband, and father doesn't fit the stereotype of an Indian guru?which may account for Ramesh Balsekar's enormous popularity. His background and education, combined with his profound spiritual studies, make him an ideal bridge between East and West, the spiritual and the material. Regarded as the world's greatest living sage, Balsekar is the primary exponent of the teaching of Advaita, which holds that everything is one, that all humanity is an intrinsic part of the universe rather than split from it: in short, that nonduality is the all-encompassing truth. This anthology comprises thematic extracts from all the master’s written works to date. Approved by Balsekar, as well as by his leading disciple, Wayne Liquorman, it is powerful, accessible, witty, and always to the point.

About the Author

Ramesh S. Balsekar is known and loved by seekers from around the world as an eloquent Master of Advaita, or Nonduality. After retiring as President of the Bank of India, Ramesh translated many of the daily talks given in Marathi by his Guru Nisargadatta Maharaj. The teaching began in 1982 after Maharaj had twice directed him to talk, and since then he has written over twenty books on Advaita. Ramesh is widely regarded as undeniably unique and uncompromising in his presentation of the concepts, and for the clarity and 'purity' of the teaching. He lives in Mumbai, India.
