Journey Continues, The: A sequel to Appr

This book is a sequel to Sri M’s much appreciated and loved book “Apprenticed to Himalayan Master”. Like the previous book, this is a collection of Sri M’s spiritual journey, his interactions with Babaji laden with multiple spiritual discourses, his journey across the world and more importantly, his recollections of his previous births. For readers, this book could come across multiple hues based on their perspectives. Human mind’s perception is shaped by its experiences and sensory perception. However, what remains unknown beyond the realms of human understanding is usually termed as extra-terrestrial or too fantastic to be true. Bharatha has a rich heritage of Rsis, Munis, Yogis who have explored and explained these dimensions typically unknown to the mankind. In this book, one would come across many such instances which would appear outlandish to the human thought, but could be a reality in the dominions of the unknown. Though there are many chapters of interest, I would particularly like to highlight the chapter on Guruvayoorappan with references to Narayaneeyam and Jnanappana. The experience of Swami Satchidananda of Kanhangad is another experience of interest. There are some profound quotes stemming from the conversations of the author with Babaji. Quoting one such interesting one, “World is real only in relative sense, but it can’t be real in absolute sense”. The explanation of this concept through Colours, Shape, Mass is very education and informative. For me, the highlight of the book is the portion on the explanation of the Upanishadic shanti mantra पूर्णमदः पूर्णमिदं . This is one definite must read portion of the book. In the last chapter of the book, there are some additional books referred for reading only with a caution included that any practice should be performed under strict supervision of a guru. There are some speeches of Sri M included as an epilogue to the book which make for equally invigorating reading. While the vedantic and spiritual concepts will pique the interest of many, some of the previous life experiences may not appeal to all. However, as the age old wisdom says, one needs to let go and be ready to accept the unthinkable, unacceptable for the reality may be quite different than what we think. I would definitely recommend this book to everyone, specially to those who would like delve deeper into spirituality and mysticism and learn a little more about our Himalayan masters.

A rather wonderful and quite amusing journey pf a soul through many lifetimes right from the Age of Krishan to the modern day… and the final salvation of a longing soul… what a beautiful and breathtaking story… coming here after reading the first book that is ‘Apprenticed to a Himalayan Master’ is even more relatable and fascinating. Must read for anyone having sincere interest in Autobiographies.

Very good book

The glimpse of unknown through the one who can see, a continuity to the autobiography of a yogi, may it pave the path to many who wants to walk

Book review - The Journey Continues by Sri M , ISBN: 9789382585244, 9382585249 This book is a sequel to "Apprenticed To A Himalayan Master" by Sri M. Sequel all right, it though makes a bit of background to read his 1st book prior embarking on reading "The Journey Continues". This book does have cross references to his 1st book. I had earlier read "Apprenticed To A Himalayan Master" and was deeply intrigued. Was waiting to read "The Journey Continues". Please note : It is all about belief system. To many readers, the two books from this author may not much sense. Regardless and as also suggested by author, it is up to the reader what to make out of the narratives. I surely was intrigued and having read his two books, I have more questions than answers. I would some day be keen to meet author in person and ask. What amazes me are following aspects that Sri M has narrated in "The Journey Continues" :- (a) He very vividly narrates his past life interactions with Lord Krishna , Buddha & others. Just as he narrates meeting Himalayan Masters and Saints (Shirdi Sainath & others) in previous book "Apprenticed To A Himalayan Master". (b) A few other reincarnations narratives that I had read earlier mention of being a prostitute in preceding birth. Very surprisingly the author too mentions him being a Calcutta based young Bengali prostitute in a previous birth. (c) I am completely baffled- in all his previous births (including current) there was always a protective & guiding hand from his spiritual guru's. Why doesn't same happen to all ? Why only a very few chosen one ? (d) Author vividly recounts the names of persons he met , interactions he had with them in all his preceding births (few names & relations he doesn't divulge). Overall -- esoteric , intriguing. Just the kind that falls in my interest zone. Leaves with a feeling of "yeh dil maange more".

A must read to understand purpose in life. Sri M shares wonderful stories from his life allowing our own minds to think towards a bigger purpose.

Good sequel to the Friday book

After reading his first book in his Autobiography I was desperate to read this one too. Here too he included his other experiences. Mostly the conversations with his Guru baba jee was very insiteful. Then I learnt the Walk of Hope he had accomplished in 2015 from Kanyakumari to Kashmir and he was invited in Parliament so very inspiring. I now follow him through youtube and listen to him everyday. Thank you Swami Sri M ....
