1.0 out of 5 stars Ultimately disappointing, 22 Jul 1999
By A Customer
What women does he listen to? Where is the evidence?

He tell us how important his relationships with Donna and Alicia are, but he does not let us see those relationships. He does not let the reader hear Donna, nor does he show himself listening to her. He tells us dramatically that Swami Radha talked to him and Donna and Alicia about the deeper possibilities of marriage, but he does not show those. The old rule in theater is that if you drag a cannon on stage, at some point in the play you have to fire it. He dragged in the cannon of possibility then never fired a shot.

Throughout the book he kept himself hidden, and his relationship with Donna, his wife, hidden, and his relationship with Alicia, his daughter, hidden, and his relationship with Swami Radhananda hidden--despite his praise for her in the dedication.

I look forward to the book he will write one day where he stands in the Divine Light and reveals the truth that can help all struggling on their Paths. I pray that when he has truly had a glimpse of the Goddess and seen the stars of enlightenment in her eyes, he will allow his ego to dissolve. Then that rock in his path will indeed fall apart and allow him to pass.

With great respect for his intent, I offer him, Prayers and best wishes.

4.0 out of 5 stars the reader will delight in the simplicity, 17 May 1999
By A Customer
Seami Sivananda was a western woman who took sanyas at the age of 44 in the ancient tradition of Kundalini Yoga, and was encouraged to return to the West to share her teachings. Over the next 40 years, she and her followers established an ashram in British Columbia and many "Radha Houses" in several countries. Forsee became especially close to the master. This is the story of his spiritual development, and the story of his relationship with his beloved teacher. It is well written (journalism was Forsee's first career) and candid. From the unexpectedly sultry picture of a young Radha on the cover, to the stories of love between her and Krishna woven into a spiritually intimate relationship, the reader will delight in the simplicity of a very human tale full of both questioning and light revealed.

5.0 out of 5 stars '..simple and unmistakable sincerity.', 14 May 1999
By A Customer
David tells of his journey from spiritual desert to lush valley, from ego to openess. In this journey the spirit most certainly moves in mysterious ways, it appears where least expected, challenges gender stereotypes, redefines identity and it relentlessly demands response. David's story inspires: it describes a radical transformation, paints a vivid portrait of a charismatic guru, and--perhaps most importantly--it is told with simple and unmistakable sincerity.
