Praise for A DISCIPLE'S JOURNAL
|
| "This new book by Sister Gargi is the ideal
companion to her notable biography of Swami Ashokananda.
Its heartfelt firsthand accounts pass the impact he had
on her on to the lives of her readers. Sister Gargi is
to be thanked for another important entry in the archives
of world spirituality." |
—HUSTON SMITH, internationally renowned
author of The World's Religions and Why Religion
Matters |
| |
| "This book takes the
reader on a powerful journey of self-discovery as Sister
Gargi relates her own revealing story as Swami Ashokananda's
disciple." |
—Leading Edge Review |
| |
| “A Disciple’s Journal
is Gargi’s memoir of the time spent in the company
of her beloved teacher, Swami Ashokananda, between 1950
and 1970 . . . Sister Gargi uses journal entries to tell
the inspiring story of her life-changing relationship
with a great teacher. The humor and wisdom of Ashokananda
is evident . . . from Gargi’s journal. Those who
are interested in reading more of this engaging story
of East meets West will not be disappointed.” |
