A seeker's life encounters many difficulties and doubts that can only be redressed by the wisdom and instruction from a Guru. With Guru's precise and practical guidance a sincere student can clear mind's obstacles and complexities.

Much of Poojya Swamiji's time is dedicated to replying thousands of letters received from seekers sharing spiritual, personal and professional enquiries. This book, the third in the series, contains Swamiji's replies to 35 letters. The topics are wide in range and relevance: test of Self-realization. attitude of students, motherhood, prosperity, efficacy of mantra-japa, meditation, worship, etc. Those interested in a comprehensive exposition of life and the subtle intricacies of spiritual sadhana, would find this book a great friend. benefactor, and guide.

Swami Bhoomananda Tirtha

Poojya Swamiji's divine nature and mission soon unfolded after receiving initiation into Brahma-vidya from Baba Gangadhara Paramahamsa. A period of intense experiential sadhana swept him to the ultimate realization and fulfilment, and at the young age of 23, he embraced sannyasa.

For over six decades now, Poojya Swamiji has been dedicated to the welfare of humanity showing the path to enlightenment, peace and fulfilment not only to seeking individuals but also to the society as a whole through various mass-awakening endeavours. Poojya Swamiji's exposition of Bhagavadgita Srimad Bhagavatam, and other spiritual texts arising from direct experiential depth and authority, has been a refuge and inspiration for all sections of people - from innocent poor villagers to learned intellectuals and administrators.

Many readers of our monthly journal "Vicharasethu - The Path of Introspection" have mentioned about the uniqueness of the "Correspondence" section of the journal. Whatever be the spiritual worth and loftiness of the other articles, many readers find the correspondence more appealing in that they can easily relate to themselves the doubts and problems of the seekers' minds and the corresponding enlightening replies and inspiring guidance given by Poojya Swamiji.

After all, more than a subject of philosophical study, Brahmavidya is a sadhana to be practised, a truth to be understood and lived. That is why the direct guidance of a realized Teacher becomes indispensable on this path. Doubts and questions crop up in the seeker's mind because of some basic ignorance about the real nature of our mind and its fulfillment. And this ignorance being ever the same, the answers and solutions mostly have a universal and eternal appeal.

The second book on correspondence "Divinizing Every Moment" was published in October 2003. We are able to bring out the third book after fourteen years. The collections cover various important aspects of human life, apart from the secrets of meditational and non-meditational sadhana. Facts and truths of human life and its ultimate pursuit have been communicated with stunning openness, force and clarity.

Book-3 particularly contains a number of letters written to the youth and students. Precious thoughts and directions are there regarding their individual life as well as their role in ensuring the prosperity and welfare of the society.

Many devotees have participated in the preparation of this book. The effort will be amply rewarded if the book reaches the aspiring hearts and gives them light and inspiration.
