by Acharya Ramananda (Author)
For thirteen years Dada Ramananda served as Shrii Shrii Anandamurti's personal assistant, giving him unprecedented access to one of the most important and controversial spiritual masters of the modern age. He witnessed these critical years of the master's life, including his arrest and subsequent persecution by the Indira Gandhi government, from a privileged vantage point that allowed him to see a side of Anandamurti that few disciples ever saw: the personal, intimate details of the master's daily life. In these memoirs, Dada draws back the curtain and ushers us into the guru's inner circle, giving us a unique behind-the-scenes view of one of the least-known but most important personalities of our time. Dada Ramananda's account is a treasure trove of material for historians and future devotees of God.
