Jill and I edited the book together, and the author was a personal friend.
As publishers, we submitted all our new books to the pre-publications reviewers, hoping someday to get a review. This book landed on the front of the Sunday New York Times Book Review, probably the most coveted spot in American book reviews. It never made much income, but Kherdian is a natural storyteller and evokes the atmosphere and the dynamics of the guru-student relationship in the residential spiritual communities of the twentieth century.

This is an excellent and careful examination of aspects of the chakra system of energy centers across Buddhist, Hindu and other traditions. It sold very well when it was first published.

The book combines sayings of Nisargadatta with some photos Powell had available of the sage. I found these photos fascinating. Nisargadatta would meet with people in a room above his bindi (Indian cigarette) factory, and it always seemed a very exotic and aromatic location for the purity of his advaita vedanta teachings. I recommend it if you can find a copy.(less)
