Rabi R. Maharaj descended from a long line of Brahmin priests and gurus and was trained as a Yogi. He meditated for many hours each day, but gradually disillusionment set in. He describes vividly and honestly his life and customs, tracing his difficult search for meaning and his struggle. At a time when Eastern mysticism, religion and philosophy fascinate many in the West, Maharaj offers fresh and important insights from the perspective of his own experience.
