Rating:  Summary: ENCOUNTER THE ENLIGHTENED Review: Encounter the Enlightened by Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev is a great reinforcement, enrichment, and remediation tool for initiates on the path to "self-realization". As an educator,self-realization is the goal of my work for every person I am privileged to teach. In Western culture, education is an "outside in proposition" and as a result fails miserably in the overall development of the individual. Education, for me equals self- realization, the foundation for self-actualization, the ultimate product of human evolution, an "inside out proposition"!The Master has given us the practice, Sahaja Sthithi Yoga and the guide (in his absence), Encounter the Enlightened, to help us navigate the road to self-realization. The "choice" is ours to make. It is our God given gift.

Rating:  Summary: Be Careful - This book is Cleverly Deceptive Review: I've met and heard Sandghuru speak on several occasions while he was here in the U.S.A. He is a very charismatic, sage-like being - no question about it, and everything he says "seems" to make perfect sense - blowing away all "isms" as somebody else here said. The concern I have, though, and something that really bothers me, is that he dispells any idea that seekers have anything other than hallucinations and self-deceptions if they have metaphysical experiences along the journey. This would suggest that Sadghuru believes that places such as Fatima, Lourdes, Guadalupe and Medugorie are places of hallucinations from one's own mind (meaning Mary would then be a self-created hallucination to those to whom she appeared in those locations) and that Jesus is not who he said he was. My personally-experienced truth tells me otherwise.
Rating:  Summary: A New Look at the Truth Review: Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev reaches inside you and takes your intellectualizations, your emotional needs and desires, your beliefs, and all the effects of your past experiences on your life and wraps them up like a wet towel and wrings them out. What remains is an exhilarating, liberating freedom. . . - Cindy Martin
Rating:  Summary: Getting to Your Truth & blowing away all distractions Review: Yesterday I finished reading this book for the second time and, once again, at one single sitting. This man blows away all dogmas, all "isms", all religious beliefs and brings us back to WHAT IS. Where are you now? Who are you? What will you do between now and your death, which could very well be immanent? He doesn't tell you what to do, just strips away the whole host of distractions that would prevent us from truly seeing the nature of our ensconcement in our perceived world. Read it! You will feel the kick to your backside that you've been waiting for.
