About this listen

"If you won't get her vision, who will?"
With these words from Bhairavi Ma echoing in his heart, a young monk who had renounced a multimillion-dollar business empire retreated into the Himalayas. For thirteen months, he engaged in intense meditation, seeking the finest reward there is: self-realization.
But what truly unfolded in those serene yet desolate mountains? Faced with biting cold, prowling wild animals, crippling hunger and overwhelming isolation, Om Swami tested the limits of his mind and body. Struggling to sit in sadhana for hours, he oscillated between moments of transcendent joy and crushing despair. What spiritual practices did he adopt? How did he keep the spark of sadhana alive? Were the rituals enough to reach the Divine, or did doubt and fear creep in, even for one so wise?
Thirteen Months in the Himalayas offers a rare and mesmerizing glimpse into Om Swami's extraordinary journey of self-realization. A sequel to the bestselling If Truth Be Told, it takes you deeper into the heart of a monk's spiritual practice and his unwavering quest for the Divine.

Great

Liked the vivid event descriptions, journey details, simple English, emotional bliss explained, vedic chants in between and reverence of connection with the Divine, However, i did not like the self-praise (like the long durations of tasks and daily time table emphasised quite often) as the accomplished Swami has no one to prove to. Physical and worldly austerities are a given for the seekers of enlightenment. Overall, the book is well written/explained and enlightens the reader with unseen facets of the journey of enlightenment. Jai ho.
