This book is the outcome of efforts to make the teachings of Shri Gurudev and other great saints of different paths coupled with the sparks of realization, of Robert Wi(S)ely communicated by Prabhu in emails, be available to common people. Robert Wylie (Prabhu, SOHAM) and Dr MVK Rao (Swami Ishwarananda Saraswati) are Guru Brothers and friends.
