This book is an account of my journey in search of the ultimate truth and a sincere desire to share some of the spiritual experiences I have had in my life. There will be many readers who might scoff at these experiences as figments of my imagination, and there will be yet others who might look at me suspiciously. But more importantly, there will also be a few who may share this most sacred passion for the absolute truth and recognize the reality in these experiences. This book is dedicated to those few, but above all it is a tribute to my Gurudev, Swami Rama, and the unsurpassed love I have received and am still receiving from him.

It is a journey that must have started several lifetimes ago. I wish I could recall those lifetimes in all their totality but being a mere mortal such powers are beyond me. And the Gods will not reveal that which we do not need to know. I wonder if I will be able to reach the end of my journey in this lifetime or if I will need to take more births. I can only hope that my Gurudev will give me the grace to reach the end of the journey in this life.
