review by Michael Laughrin, awarding five stars
"The
most important and BEST spiritual book written in the last 100 years, "
December
23, 2009
By
Michael Laughrin (North Royalton, OH USA)
"108
Discourses of Guru Dev by Paul Mason is, in my opinion, the most
important and BEST spiritual book written in the last 100 years. Swami
Brahmananda Saraswati was affectionately known as Guru Dev.
Guru
Dev was the Shankaracharya of Jyotir Math, the northernmost of the 4
seats of the Shankaracharyas established by Shankara between 1500 and
2000 years ago. This northernmost seat was vacant for many years until
Guru Dev, who had been leading the life of a solitary saint living in
the forest and mountains, finally agreed to take the seat.
These
little 'sermons' (none is longer than 4 pages) are exceedingly clear,
uplifting, and to the point. This volume has the discourses in the
original Hindi and also in English (thank God, as my Hindi is not what
is used to be). Of all the modern spiritual books that I have read,
this one cuts through the junk like a sword and reveals the diamond
truth that is at the core of the Vedic teachings. Most of the important
topics are mentioned, such as Enlightenment (moksha), meditation,
karma, the caste system, possessions, obstacles on the Path, Maya,
dharma, and many, many others.
In
my opinion, you must buy this book."

ROOTS OF TM
Five
Stars The Book Of a Lifetime!
By James A. Lynch
Jr. on August 23, 2015
Format: Paperback Verified
Purchase
This tome by Paul Mason is
truly a remarkable book of great depth and tremendous compassion.
It is like taking a retreat in the 1960’s directly with
Maharishi
Mahesh Yogi as your guide. The book definitely shows the very roots of
TM and the significance and power of the TM technique itself.
Indeed in the very first few pages of the book you get a wonderful
overview, in Maharishi’s own words, on the TM methodology
itself.
For someone like me who was initiated into my sitting mantra by my
fantastic and late Aunt Initiator Effie Neville in 1976 it was like
taking a shower in a cool stream. It reawakened in me the whole
approach of effortlessness and naturalism that is at the very root of
TM. Immediately upon absorbing the words that Paul relayed I found my
meditation progressing at a much deeper level than before. These first
few pages would be worth ten times the price of the book alone they
were that valuable!
As if this wasn’t enough the book touches on the greatness,
majesty and compassion of the late Shankaracharya of Jyotirmath Swami
Brahmanand (better known as “Guru Dev”). The book
shows
just what type of devoted devotee Maharishi was to Guru Dev and that
his love of Guru Dev motivated his entire effort at spreading the
“TM technique”. Mr. Mason shows that
Maharishi’s
whole being and life was devoted to distilling the truth as espoused by
Guru Dev and not just his “own” cobbled together
theories.
In this way the author subtly address Maharishi’s various
detractors with aplomb. Those who frequently claim that
“Maharishi just made up the TM technique as some kind of pop
meditation technique which is designed to lure the uniformed and to
enrich his own personal fortune.“ That by showing the deep
spiritual connection that Maharishi had with Guru Dev and that he could
have hardly started such activities without other authorized devotees
of Guru Dev knowing precisely what Maharishi was teaching.
Through Mr. Mason’s exposition we gain an appreciation of the
deep power of Guru Dev in a way that finds him very approachable but
still awe inspiring. In this way Mr. Mason, without interjecting his
own interpretations, skillfully distills from the very words of Guru
Dev and Maharishi their deep and unbounded love for all of humanity.
I was and am so moved by this book and cannot recommend it highly
enough for any devotee of Maharishi, TM or even a practitioner of
Buddhist Mindfulness, for there is something for all in this book that
is sure to enrich your life and spiritual practice.
