How About Now? : Satsang With Arjuna

by Arjuna Ardagh

This book is an elegant guide to self-inquiry, perfect for the seasoned adept and the beginner alike. Its contents are taken from transcripts of public meetings (Satsang) conducted by Arjuna. Everything in this book was spoken unrehearsed and in response to whoever was present. Some of the transcripts remain as conversations between Arjuna and the old and new friends who came to talk with him on the couch at the front of the room. Other pieces have become longer discourses that lent themselves to more thorough exploration of a topic and some of the transcripts playfully called out to be transformed into poetry. Many of the best of the dialogues from this book are available on audio and video from Amazon.com.
