"The guru is a story of the holy or mystic life in India, as told by a discipline reminiscing upon many years of association with his beloved Hindu teacher. It is a narrative blend of actual incidents in the lives of several disciplies, in the time of their receiving instruction in the ageless doctrine of the Namelsss One who abides in timeless space. The author has personally known the principal characters of the story but has made changes in names and places, in deference to the wish of the Oriental mystics, that their good works shall continue as ever to be performed without any holy man being singled out for personal credit." -- Dust jacket inside flap.
This is the story of the holy or mystic life in India, as told by a disciple reminiscing upon many years of association with his beloved Hindu teacher. Though a narrative blend of actual incidents in the lives of several disciples, Mr. Hall has personally known the principal characters of the story but has made changes in names and places, in deference to the wish of the Oriental mystics. Here the Eastern way of life is made comprehensible so Westerners may learn the great truths in the same simple and beautiful way they are taught in India.
Among the myriad of relationships in life, the one between a Guru and disciple is most sacred and unique. In the book “Guru and Disciple”, Gnani Purush (embodiment of Self knowledge) Dada Bhagwan provides insight into the nature of the Guru-disciple relationship and offers in-depth answers to questions such as: “What is spirituality and spiritual transformation, and how is a Guru necessary in this?” “What is the definition of Guru, and what is disciple?” “How does a spiritual Guru differ from a spiritual teacher, a spiritual advisor, or from spiritual people in general?” “A spiritual life requires spiritual awakening into self realization. How do I find a Guru with the spiritual power to grant me spiritual enlightenment?” “Among the many spiritual teachers accessible today, do I need to find a Guru with a certain level of spiritual development or spiritual awareness?” For those on a spiritual quest, seeking spiritual growth, or simply desirous of spiritual guidance, this book provides an invaluable resource among the spiritual books available on the Guru-disciple topic.

Swami Abhishiktananda (Henri Le Saux, 1910-1973) was one of the most fascinating spiritual figures of the 20th century and a bridge-builder between East and West. In his extraordinary book Guru and Disciple, Swami Abhishiktananda gives a vivid and magnificent account of his meeting with Sri Gnanananda Giri, an Advaitic sage whom he met at his ashram in Tamil Nadu. He regarded this encounter as one of the high points of his life in India, for it was at that time that he recognized him as his guru. Through the intense upadesha (teaching) and unreserved grace of Sri Gnanananda, Swami Abhishiktananda was led closer to the heart of Advaita. He spoke of his retreat with him as days of grace, "days of peace and fulfilment... when one was conscious of living at a spiritual depth in which the whole world of outward appearance has been left behind and one has come close to what is Real." Indeed, he received from his guru the purest teaching of a jnani (realized sage)-which was none other than the timeless message of the Upanishads: Behind the appearance of the phenomenal ego is the Ultimate Reality, the eternal Self of All, which can be directly realized. Guru and Disciple has been praised by many as a classic and as being one of the most remarkable introductions in recent times to the importance of meditation (dhyana) and the essential nature of the spiritual master-the guru tattva-of which Sri Gnanananda Giri was the perfect embodiment.
An indispensable memoir by one of the most prominent writers of his generation Originally published in 1976, Christopher and His Kind covers the most memorable ten years in the writer's life—from 1928, when Christopher Isherwood left England to spend a week in Berlin and decided to stay there indefinitely, to 1939, when he arrived in America. His friends and colleagues during this time included W. H. Auden, Stephen Spender, and E. M. Forster, as well as colorful figures he met in Germany and later fictionalized in his two Berlin novels—and who appeared again, fictionalized to an even greater degree, in I Am a Camera and Cabaret. What most impressed the first readers of this memoir, however, was the candor with which he describes his life in gay Berlin of the 1930s and his struggles to save his companion, a German man named Heinz, from the Nazis. An engrossing and dramatic story and a fascinating glimpse into a little-known world, Christopher and His Kind remains one of Isherwood's greatest achievements.
