Hi guys, I was wondering if someone else has read this book (I am still reading it) and what the impressions are that you have from it. For me many stories of the book are hard to believe for me. Especially those about Babaji. No wonder people get the impression that someone who is enlightened is almost perfect... I mean someone who can manipulate matter in any way he wants it read minds and whatever else they are supposed to do. I wouldn't even try to argue with someone like that. Oh and I was wondering about those guys who are supposed to be enlightened today. Like Adyashanti, Ekhart Tolle etc. Those never seems to show any of those miracles. Well feel free to throw in your thoughts.
this a great book and it is all true..those siddhis are true too...notice that in the book those miracles are only showed by the guru to his devotees who are serious in the path of yoga
but in reality the enlightened dont have to show or proof anyhting..he has no ego ..he does not exist..he does not care..it just happens spontaneouslly..things get done through him by the Self
keep in mind that siddhis are not a criteria .. a person may have them but may NOT be enlightened
The Matrix is everywhere. It is all around us. Even now, in this very room. You can see it when you look out your window or when you turn on your television. You can feel it when you go to work... when you go to church... when you pay your taxes. It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth. ~ Morpheus (The Matrix)
I'm still not finished with that book. Can only read a couple of pages at a time - then I'm off to what is described...
I've been sharing time with a master like that: enlightened - and with those siddhis. It's absolutely mind-blowing.
I was so happy to read the book, and find out that some of what happened in my life could actually be described by someone else experiencing similar stuff!
Thats one the great book to hold in one's hand..read through sometime some will feel conencted to it others will feel like what you said but when you get an experience then you can relate it...
Well when I read the book I read it with open mind and didnt believe many stuffs said there but Now I DO I DO
The book is like of reference now..lol

LOL. My name is Mani and I am big fan of Enigma (Michael Cretu).
The urban dictionary has some cool meanings for manigma:
- An individual who discovers and embraces the complexities that make them who they are; flawed and fantastic but thoroughly unique. Someone who comes to terms with the antithetical within them.
- A celebration of one's polarities.
- A quality that possesses danger and daintiness, chaos and calm.
and what is the meaning of Mani? my real name is maha...in arabic it means a white deer with big black eyes... did u go to Gangotri? i only went to rishikesh twice so far Love
Mani means Jewel. Oh thats nice to know it means white deer in arabic but Mahaeshwari in sanskrit means Great(maha)Eshawari (refers to Godess especially it means wife of lord SHIVA..when Lord Shiva is called Eshwar His partner is called Eshwari.
