A new review from Kiran Teegala, CEO of Zdango, Feb 23,2016
“The author has beautifully got Kabir back to life from the tides of time from 15th century to the current time. Kabir is a self-realized master and this book is an attempt to put forth the essence of Kabir and how Kabir as a realized master is more relevant to existing times.”
Excerpt of a review by Dr. S.V. Raghavan

The central theme that the author imposes on the reader is that the Self is an illusion or fiction and that if it is not cognized as such, it severely limits or mars our judgement. Mind is a means and if not used in the correct way for one’s course correction it can surely cause problems…”
