Timeless Years With Shri Ramakant Maharaj 2012 - 2022 is the story of a couple who travel to India to meet their Guru, Shri Ramakant Maharaj, a rare Self-Realized Master, (Jnani). Unbeknown to them, they would become the propagators of his Teachings. Shri Ramakant Maharaj spent almost twenty years with the world-famous Guru, Shri Nisargadatta Maharaj. Sitting in the presence of an authentic Guru is like bathing in sacred sunshine. The sun’s rays of truth and love illuminate the disciple. Listening to the transcendental knowledge and experiencing the transmission of the Guru’s shining, loving presence, purifies the disciple’s heart. With each bow, the ego is stripped back, heralding a timeless bond between them. This book outlines the process of Self-Realization, under the guidance of Shri Ramakant Maharaj, (including extracts from the couple's diaries and journals), as well as many of Shri Ramakant's discourses. This fascinating, down-to-earth account, peppered with humour, offers a unique insight into the paradoxical nature of the Guru-disciple relationship, which is at once, both personal and impersonal. “In the Guru’s Presence, the earnest disciple undergoes a magical-mystical transformation. The illusory knot of separation is untied and a deep longing to bow to the Guru arises spontaneously.”

Discourses of a Hindu religious leader of the Navnath sampradaya.

Tabla virtuoso, composer and percussionist Zakir Hussain is an international music phenomenon. The eldest son of the legendary Ustad Allarakha, Zakir gave his first public concert at the age of seven and was immediately hailed a child prodigy. In later years, his masterful dexterity and creative genius led to his becoming one of the most sought-after accompanists to the very best of Hindustani classical musicians and dancers. Zakir Hussain is equally recognized as one of the foremost contemporary jazz and world music percussionists; he has performed at innumerable concerts both as a solo artist and with renowned jazz musicians on the grand stages of the world, from the Royal Albert Hall to Madison Square Garden. With John McLaughlin, L. Shankar and T.H. Vinayakram, Zakir Hussain created music history with the band Shakti. He has acted in James Ivory's Heat and Dust and Sai Paranjpye's Saaz, and scored music for directors such as Bernardo Bertolucci (Little Buddha), Aparna Sen (Mr. & Mrs. Iyer) and Ismail Merchant (In Custody, The Mystic Masseur); he has also played the tabla for countless 1960s Hindi film soundtracks. In an in-depth conversation with Zakir Hussain, Nasreen Munni Kabir takes the readers through the story of his life: how he was deemed an 'unlucky' child; the early years of growing up in Mahim; his training from age four with his extraordinary father; and his experiences and memories working with a host of legendary musicians, including Pandit Ravi Shankar, Ustad Ali Akbar Khan and Ustad Vilayat Khan. A born storyteller, Zakir speaks with humour and humility of his understanding of music, his relationship with his students, his dedication and love for the tabla, and the way he negotiates life as an acclaimed celebrity living in both America and India. Zakir Hussain: A Life in Music is a brilliant introduction to the life and times of a huge music star, a revered role model and a visionary world musician.

Madhusudana Sarasvati's most famous work, Advaitasiddhi, helped to establish monism on a logical basis by refuting all criticisms of it by other schools. In his commentary on the Bhagavad Gita, however, he set forth a philosophy of life which also recognised other ways of spiritual development -- such as Yoga, devotion to God, and the analytical penetration of Samkhya. Here, Madhusudana gave the highest place to the cultivation of devotion. The present work of Madhusudana, the Gudhartha Dipika (an Annotation Revealing the True Import of the Gita) is probably the greatest of his many literary works. Though there are many classical commentaries on the Gita, this work stands next only to Sri Shankaracharya's commentary as regards clarity, depth, and originality.

Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj (1897-1981), a revered master of the Tantric Nath Lineage, is an inspiring example of an ordinary family man who attained complete realization of the Infinte. Living the absolute nonduality of Being in every moment, he taught that true freedom is a possiblity open to everyone of us. These discourses are about Transcendence. The massage is clear: Return to what you were before before your so-called birth. Be in that eternity, a state of wholeness. It is changeless reality from which all change has sprung. Maharaj`s wisdom is truely partaking of the Gods, because it restores us to our original pristine and blissful condition, the rediscovery of our Source.
