My Visit to Agharta

Rating:
Summary: Not convinced
Review: Being in possession of 15 Rampa books, I am very suspicious about the authenticity of this publication. The writing is not in Rampa's usual style and there are so many incongruities in the phrasing.
For example, he always referred to the Lama Minyar Dondup as his "beloved guide" or just "guide". In this book the Lama is continually called Master.
If, as it seems to be portrayed, Lobsang commenced his journey after an astral visit by the Lama, it suggests this was when he was in the West. How could the Lama physically join Lobsang on the journey to Agharta as the Lama died when Lobsang was in China, before travelling to the West? (See chapter 5 "Doctor from Lhasa")
Once in the tunnels, both the Lama and Lobsang were seemingly almost seduced by woman dancing before them. This is totally unrealistic for such high Lamas, as is seen in other books.
There are more inconsistences to numerous to mention. Don't be fooled into thinking this is genuine. Someone out there is laughing all the way to the bank.
The only good point (hence my one star award) about this edition is that it holds excerpts from true Rampa books after the Agharta story.

Summary: Rampa continues to fascinate
Review: I have read most of Rampa's earlier books. (At least the ones I have been able to find.) Now a lost chapter in Rampa's life has been discovered and printed at last.

My Visit to Agharta is a great book and a fantastic read. One of the early reviews said he had his doubts that Rampa actually wrote this book, but if you know Rampa's writing style and love of details, you will be convinced, as was I, that Rampa did write this book.

It is unfortunate that in Rampa's final years he could no longer find a publisher and many of his books remain unpublished.

Since My Visit to Agharta has been so successful, maybe this will spur publishers to reconsider and finally publish the other lost books of Rampa at last.

Until then, read this book and discover the incredible person that was T. Lobsang Rampa.

Summary: A long lost work by Lobsang Rampa? I think not!
Review: It was obvious even in the first page that this was not a genuine work by Lobsang Rampa. It just does not read like a Rampa book. I spent many, many years 'living and breathing' all 19 books by 'TLR' and (if I say so myself!) know the contents - as well as his writing style - inside out. This book seems to be penned by someone who has read some of the Rampa books (not very thoroughly at that!) and who has a certain knowledge of some spiritual traditions... but Lobsang it ain't! There are so many blunders that give the game away I hardly know where to start, but here are a few:

In places (page8) the narrative is from the perspective of Cyril Hoskins. Rampa never wrote like this; he made the whole business of 'the takeover' crystal clear yet the writer of "My Visit..." obviously didn't quite get it! The Lama Mingyar Dondup is constantly referred to as 'master' yet this title was never used for Mingyar Dondup in any of Rampa's books, indeed TLR specifically mentioned his dislike of this word more than once. The reference to extra-terrestrials that seek to exploit mankind's divine nature for their own benefit is in complete contradiction to everything TLR wrote on the subject, most notably in 'The Hermit'. There is much more that is obviously uncharacteristic of Rampa's writing: references to ascended masters, language such as 'my amazing life', the meaning ascribed to 'elementals' on p12...

I could go on! Having said all that, the 'long lost material' does contain a modicum of mildly inspiring content. I suppose it could, just possibly, be very doctored Rampa that has been added to by another writer but everything points to this being totally bogus. In addition to the 'newly discovered chapter' the book contains sections from 4 genuine Rampa books. I notice that these passages have been slightly altered from the originals in places (I have early Corgi editions) though not to the extent of making them 'un-Rampa-like'.

It would appear likely that this book was cynically conceived as a money making venture and I therefore strongly recommend you do not buy it.

Summary: A fascinating journey to the hollow Earth
Review: My first exposure to the works of T. Lobsang Rampa was with his book THE THIRD EYE. After reading that book I had to read the rest. Rampa was the first to bring Eastern spirituality to the Western world in a way that was understandable to those who were still wrapped up in crass materialism. There are still many people today who could use some lessons on how to get along with our fellow humans - that is why I am so excited over this lost book of Rampa, recently discovered and released by Inner Light Publications. This book details Rampa's physical journey through the secret caves and tunnels that criss-cross this planet where he finally joins thousands of his fellow "enlightened beings" in the sacred land of Agharta that is located not only in the hollow exterior of Earth, but in the exterior of millions of other planets throughout the universe. In Agharta Rampa is given a personal message from the Creator for all of mankind that details the beautiful and incredible goal that the Creator has in store for us. This is a wonderful book that will open your eyes to the potential of our species and how we have been chosen to lead other species throughout the universe to find their spiritual side.
