My Guru & I

by Swami Paranthapa

My Guru & I is an absorbing account of the journey of Patrick Neville Booth from his early childhood in Kokstad, KwaZulu-Natal Province, where his life was built around his great-grandmother and the three generations that received her loving guidance to his years searching for purpose and meaning. After many adventures, he arrives at the feet of a 'Mauritian saint' giving darshan in Johannesburg.  Here with candid self-reflection, enthusiasm and sincerity, he depicts his inner voyage of transformation. He takes the reader on a mystical journey across India, England and Europe where he does battle with his ego and his own negative tendencies and connects with the inner divine energy. Under the guidance of Paramahamsa Sri Swami Vishwananda, he emerged from twenty five years of continuous unfolding as a brahmachari and later, Swami Vishwaparanthapananda. My Guru & I  will inspire readers to awaken to their true Self and fulfil their highest potential.
