Rudi: In His Own Words

Rating:
Summary: The essential companion to "Spiritual Cannabalism"
Review: With a foreword by Swami Chetanananda, head of the Nityananda Institute and one of Rudi's four senior students from the Brooklyn ashram days, "Rudi" is a collection of pithy short essays on a large range of subjects. In some ways, "Rudi" is a more practical book than "Spiritual Cannabalism", and its scope is more here-and-now. Frankly, it is a humbling book to read---all of one's own foibles are exposed in the reading. As an aside, all four senior students have gone on to be great figures in the contemporary spiritual world (I am happy to correspond on this matter).

As well, because of its somewhat segmented structure (in comparison to SC), it is a book that one can have handy at any time, to read a paragraph or two---and be woken up yet again (isn't it irritating how quickly we fall asleep!).

Unreservedly recommended.
