Book Reviews of Miracle of LoveBook Review: Baba Maharajji Summary: 5 Stars
What can I say, when you read the stories of Maharajji, it moves you on the deepest of levels. Grace and love are the messages of this great saint. I cried and and laughed, and am still laughing 7 years later. He is a wonderful teacher, and will play with you if you get to know him. Blessings.
Book Review: Beautifully captures the essence of a great Sage. Summary: 5 Stars
This book is a marvelous collection of anecdotes and teaching stories from the devotees of Neem Karoli Baba, a true "Avadhoot" (one who has "shaken off" the world, to exist as a wandering vessel of God) of the Hindu tradition, but who transcended all traditional spiritual paths. He was impossible to classify or pin down. Maharaji, as he was lovingly called, would simply wander into a village and stay awhile, while people offered fruits and sat at his feet, then he would abruptly disappear into the jungle. He would laugh, scold, hug, talk briefly, or just sit. Miracles occurred often in his presence. Maharaji's only teachings seemed to be love, serve and see God in everything. No one could keep him in one place, not even police or jail cells. When the time came to leave a place, he just left. He was simply an old man in a plaid blanket, full of humor and love, who shone the Light of Eternal Consciousness.
Book Review: The Essence of Unconditional Love and Devotion Summary: 5 Stars
Of the greatest spiritual teachers in living memory, Neemkaroli Baba was the essential teacher of unconditional love. This love and the deep devotion it inspired shines through all the short stories of this book, all gems of simplicity, immense kindness and of an abolute mastery of life.
If you want to be inspired by this great soul and connect with your own purity of heart, then this book is for you. Today, as in the past, Maharaji touches many directly in profound and life-changing ways. This book has been a vehicle to allow many people to make this connection.
Book Review: What is to be learned? Summary: 3 Stars
I read this book a few years ago and while the stories of this Baba where fascinating I found little that could have been considered actual teaching. I actually never completed the book as it is so focused on the siddhis, the phenomena around him with little that could be applied to better one's own practice or journey through life. So many people think that the ability to perform miracles is the goal. Perhaps it is the focus of the compiler of the book and should not be considered a reflection of who this individual really was, hopefully he was more than a magic show.
Book Review: a facinating read Summary: 5 Stars
I thought this book was really interesting. I didn't know a lot about Neem Karoli Baba before I read this - now I wish I was old enough to have traveled to India and met him myself. The book is broken up in individual stories so it's easy to read a little at a time ( a great boon to anyone who is busy!)
