    Swami Muktananda is one of the few outstanding disciples who have unalloyed love and devotion for their Gurus.

    From his accounts, it is clear that Swami Nityananda was no easy Guru to learn from. It is very easy to misunderstand his behaviour.

    ▪️ It's a short biography written by Swami Muktanand Paramhansa, a disciple of Avadhuta Nityananda of Ganeshpuri.
    ▪️This book comprises devotional outpourings of a devoted disciple for his God like Guru.
    ▪️This is a short biography of a great Avadhuta and extraordinary Siddha Master lived in Ganeshpuri (Maharashtra). His name was Nityananda.
    He always abided in "SELF", looked the entire world as "SELF", hence always remained engrossed in the transcendental bliss, that's why people around Him started calling Him by the name "Nityananda".
    ▪️This book gives a glimpse of what does it mean to be an "Avadhuta".
    One who has obliterated all boundries of his individuality, ego and transcended the mind and remain as "Pure Consciousness", is an Avadhuta. That's why the stage of being an Avadhuta is the highest stage of spiritual accomplishment.
    ▪️ Important quotes and sentences from the book:
    🔰Shri Gurudev's teachings : Purity of Mind, Purity of Feeling, Faith in God, Meditation, Knowledge
    🔰 _Meditate a lot. When you meditate a lot, true knowledge will spring forth from you. You won't have to read books. Inner knowledge is far superior. Write your own book with your own mind. Meditate. Many books will come out of you."_
    🔰" _People try to purify the Self, which is already pure. They make efforts to attain the Self, which is already attained. The truth is that this world is permeated by the Self. Whatever we see and whatever is seen in this world is only the Self. Because of our wrong understanding we see impurity in purity, imperfection in perfection, bondage in freedom, and then we become miserable even in happiness. This is because we are ignorant of the knowledge of our true Self."_

    There are many pearls of Wisdom in this book. It is not possible to write about all of them over here.

    Whoever came to Him, He usually asked most of them whether they had visited Vajreshwari temple (in a nearby village) and taken bath in the hot spring.
    Today there is Samadhi Mandir of Nityananda in Ganeshpuri town and countless devotees flock there every year.

    This book is a worth read for seekers.
