Powerful Prose and Poetry
This, is a collection of prose and poetry by Sri H W L Poonja during gatherings with his students in North India. The discourses flow from his impeccable experience of the highest and yet simplest Truth: That we are pure Consciousness, the totality of Existence.
Papaji, as his loved ones call him, was born in the Punjab in 1910 to the sister of Swami Rama Tirtha, one of India's most respected Saints. He realised Truth when he was 8 years old. This realisation infinitely blossomed in his early 30's when he met his Guru, Sri Ramana Maharishi, the Sage of Arunachala. When he left his body in September 1997 this power exploded and is felt around the world now more than ever.
