This book motivates the reader to deepen their practice of meditation and overall quest for God. It is a work of tremendous spiritual vibration.

I can't believe I am the first person to rate this wonderful little book. This book was written by a disciple of the great Indian Avatar, Paramhansa Yogananda. Devi is a very advanced soul himself and recounts his travels throughout India and especially in the Himalayas, meeting many modern Saints. Especially touching are his stories of Anandamoyee Ma, the joy-permeated mother, whom he visited often. I have read this book at least five time, maybe more. I wholeheartedly recommend it to all. I will tease you a little here. In this book, you will learn, through a story (my favorite) of Anandamoyee Ma, the following:

What does God eat?
Why does God weep?
What makes God laugh?
And what actions does God perform?

I am not going to tell you the answers. You will have to read the book to find them out.
