​

Here is a new book, a compilation of messages on spiritual sadhana, coming from a variety of Mahatmas, books, etc.  Prof.VK ji has arranged them in a manner that is very convenient for one to read and assimilate the teachings.  The messages are crisp, printed just one on a page.  I am sure this will be a fine companion book for a spiritual seeker.

 

The book is very nicely printed, with a good get up and has a very useful index too at the end. Spanning 380 pages, the book is published by Notion Press, Chennai.

 

Apart from keeping a copy for one's study and practice, the book is a fine piece of gift for all occasions.  I think the book can be procured by contacting the publishers at:  Old No.38, New No.6, McNichols Road, Chetpet, Chennai 600 031. Phone 9840474398
