Publisher Description
Papaji Amazing Grace contains 15 profoundly beautiful and powerful spiritual interviews conducted by Premananda with seekers for Truth who sought out Papaji in the period from 1990 to 1997. An intimate look at the Master- desciple relationship.
They are stories of a housewife, a businessman, even an officer of a nuclear powered aircraft carrier. Each person, whatever their background, had the common longing to discover the eternal Truth of who they are. When this longing is strong enough a Master appears.
The interviews were conducted by Premananda with seekers for Truth who sought out Papaji in the period from 1990 to 1997, when his old age finally allowed a community to grow up around him in Lucknow, North India.

A Gift
The presence of Papaji continues. One of the greatest masters of our times. A valuable insight that can further guide us on our journey home.
A great book about Papaji and devotion
H.W.L. Poonja (known affectionately as Papaji) held satsangs in Lucknow between 1990 and his death in 1997, and elsewhere in earlier years when smaller numbers congregated around him. This book gives us transcripts of interviews with 15 people who experienced awakening at these satsangs. The interviewer/author, Premananda, was also a member of this sangha which numbered up to 100 semi-permanent members with another 100-200 during times of more comfortable weather. I knew little about the path of devotion to a guru so the book made fascinating reading. Each interview revisits the subject's childhood before moving on to the often circuitous adult search and its culmination in the prescence of Papaji. Really interesting.
I can recommend the book as a useful insight into a man who influenced so many. It was a great read, and enjoyable to dip into again later.
