Description
We are fortunate to be holding this rare autobiographical treasure on the guru–disciple relationship in our hands, penned by a spiritual teacher who has dedicated her life to the work of her own guru, Sri Swami Satyananda Saraswati.
Following his mandate, Swami Sivamurti came to Greece in the late 1970s and has since been spreading the teachings of this great luminary of the twentieth-century both in Greece and abroad. A Western-trained, contemporary woman provides a powerful testimony to the deep connection that develops between a disciple and her guru, as well as attesting to its pure and spiritual nature. It becomes evident that the guru–disciple relationship concerns any and all who seek the true nature of their existence, regardless of gender, age, religion or ethnicity.
In this book, Swami Sivamurti, Yogacharya (Master of Yoga) and a modern-day yogini, delves into the essence of discipleship and the role of the guru, as well as describing the trials and profound experiences alike which the disciple encounters on their spiritual path. It provides answers to a wide range of questions regarding the guru–disciple relationship and refers to lesser-known and more subtle aspects of it, knowable only to one who has experienced it earnestly and in depth. Throughout the book the reader is engaged with the writer and follows her in her guru’s footsteps feeling the living presence and guidance of the guru.
