Description

An incredible compilation of a thousand stories and fifty-one extraordinary photographs of Neem Karoli Baba.

“He gave no discourses: the briefest, simplest stories were his teachings. Usually he sat or lay on a wooden bench wrapped in a plaid blanket while a few devotees sat around him. Visitors came and went; they were given food, a few words, a nod, a slap on the head or back, and they were sent away. There was gossip and laughter for he loved to joke. Orders for running the ashram were given, usually in a piercing yell across the compound. Sometimes he sat in silence. absorbed in another world to which we could not follow, but bliss and peace poured down on us. Who he was no more than the experience of him, the nectar of his presence, the totality of his absence – enveloping us now like his plaid blanket.”

A beautifully redesigned new edition.
