Book Description

About the Book

 

In this book, Swami Bhoomananda Tirtha in his irrefutable style declares that in the whole Universe, Consciousness alone is, and that Consciousness is verily our real nature. Shedding light on the path of actualizing It, he exhorts us to abide in It, attuning our mind to It always. The Knowledge and subsequent realization of this Supreme Reality, sublimates our mind, illumines our intelligence and adorns our personality with peace harmony and fulfilment.

 

With dexterity, Poojya Swamiji lifts us to that lofty state of supreme delight, where we can remain unaffected by the torments of worldly turmoils. Needless to say, the message is greatly relevant to one and all.

 

About the Author

 

Swami Bhoomananda Tirtha, a knower of Supreme Truth, has guided numerous seekers to the invaluable goal of self-realization transforming their life into one of joy and contentment.

 

Swamiji’s interpretation of Bhagavadgita Srimad Bhagavatam Upanishads and other spiritual texts, coming from his experiential depth and mastery of Self-realization, inspires seekers with the liberating touch of transcendental knowledge. Receiving diksa (spiritual initiation) from Baba Gangadhara Paramhamsa of Dakshinkhada, West Bengal, Swamiji embraced Sannyasa at the age of 23. Dedicating his life for the welfare of mankind, he has been disseminating with rare clarity, practically and openness, spiritual wisdom of Vedanta to the seekers all over the world for over 50 years.
