A rare find

This book was so inspiring to me that I named my first born after the author 'Yatri'. Yatri (the author's book name) is an Englishman that had spend many years in the highlands of India. He wasn't an anthropologist of anything like that, but he had a vision, or insight, to stop doing what he did and to go to India. It changed his life and the book, the only one he published as far as I know, is a rare treasure. For it's time the book is beautifully composition and well written. Every sentence is absorbing. It was almost written like Kahlil Gibran's The Prophet, from whom by the was I took the name for of my second born Kahlil. It is a serious book on spirituality. It is however spiced with lots of high impact predictions of the future of mankind. It is also humorous. The illustrations and photography is outstanding. The name 'Yatri' comes from Hindi and means 'traveller'. If I had to leave all my books behind bar one, this is the one.

A very good book!

This book eludes to the direction of the evolution of human kind. Highly recommended!

Unknown man helps man be k"now"ing

This book I first bought when it came out in 1988 and since then I have referanced it lovingly. It is written both scientifically and mystically and appeals to my mind. It is a classic text that will guide the reader through the history of mans undenialable shame and violence towards virtually everything. The author then guides through the potential way out of this situation by turning towards the guidance of higher spirituality of yoga, Hinduism, Sufism, kabbalah. He describes the coming of a new species of human that really knows what it takes to live on this sacred planet with the other human becomings/beings. There is alight at the end of the tunnel yet it takes honesty ,courage , a brain and a heart to get to that light. This is a great book and I thank the author for creating such a masterful piece of work. Om and amen.

THIS IS A KEEPER! A book to induce thought.

I love this book.1. The graphics and illustrations are wonderful.2. Yatri compiles a vast quantity of good quotes from knowledgeable and honorable people.3. His speculations for the future of man are not all that out of reach, given the polluted and radiated environment we are living in today, which is becoming more polluted and radiated as the USA TECH wars show their ugly presence.4. Today's life, and death, should be about transcendance, and Yatri's book introduces that to one and strongly compells one to search for a better way to live, a better way to fully live.5. I love this book, for it gives me a unique hope that men will survive their own collective stupidity and nearsightedness.

swirling expansive philosophy and cosmology to make ya think

If this is the one by "Yatri" I cannot recommend it highly enough. I found a copy at a book "warehouse" for two bucks, and even after reading it three times I still have a lot to learn from this book. Meet modern gurus and "messiahs" and learn about your chakras and human potential.
