"The most important and BEST spiritual book written in the last 100 years, "
December 23, 2009
By  Michael Laughrin (North Royalton, OH USA)

    
"108 Discourses of Guru Dev by Paul Mason is, in my opinion, the most important and BEST spiritual book written in the last 100 years. Swami Brahmananda Saraswati was affectionately known as Guru Dev.

Guru Dev was the Shankaracharya of Jyotir Math, the northernmost of the 4 seats of the Shankaracharyas established by Shankara between 1500 and 2000 years ago. This northernmost seat was vacant for many years until Guru Dev, who had been leading the life of a solitary saint living in the forest and mountains, finally agreed to take the seat.

These little 'sermons' (none is longer than 4 pages) are exceedingly clear, uplifting, and to the point. This volume has the discourses in the original Hindi and also in English (thank God, as my Hindi is not what is used to be). Of all the modern spiritual books that I have read, this one cuts through the junk like a sword and reveals the diamond truth that is at the core of the Vedic teachings. Most of the important topics are mentioned, such as Enlightenment (moksha), meditation, karma, the caste system, possessions, obstacles on the Path, Maya, dharma, and many, many others.

In my opinion, you must buy this book."

'The Maharishi:
The Biography of the Man Who Gave Transcendental Meditation to the World'

by
Paul Mason

Paul Mason's ground-breaking biography of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi is now available once more, in a new and revised paperback edition from Evolution Publishing UK.

The Maharishi Mahesh Yogi leapt to prominence in the 1960s when his teaching of Transcendental Meditation (TM) and his widely-reported involvement with The Beatles and the Beach Boys provoked reactions ranging from reverence to mockery. Now Paul Mason takes us behind the scenes, drawing on scarce and previously unpublished material.

Much more than just a biography, this is a seminal enquiry into the aims and methods of the Maharishi Movement. We are taken deep into the Indian tradition of the Vedic scriptures, the Upanishads and the Bhagavad Gita.

He describes the early days of the teachings in the 1950s, through the development of a sprawling bureaucracy, to the attempts to enter mainstream politics with the Natural Law Party.

'Maharishi Mahesh Yogi: Die Biographie'
by
Paul Mason

Kein Meister der östlichen Tradition hat derart die Gemüter bewegt wie Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. Seit den Tagen der Beatles, in den 60er Jahren, der Hippie- und Flower-Power-Bewegung, bis hin zur Verkündung des ""Zeitalters der Erleuchtung"" und der ""Naturgesetz Partei"", immer wieder forderte der Maharishi die Gesellschaft heraus.

 Erstmals legt nun der Engländer Paul Mason, selbst langjähriger Meditierender, eine Insider-Biographie vor, die trotz aller Sympathie und Anerkennung auch einige kritische Anfragen stellt.

   Mason zeichnet den abenteuerlichen Weg eines indischen Yogis nach, der völlig mittellos, nur mit einer Botschaft seines Meisters im Gepäck, in Los Angeles landet und in wenigen Jahren eine weltumspannende Bewegung ins Leben ruft. Niemand hat im Westen das Bewußtsein für die Notwendigkeit eines meditativen Weges stärker erweckt als Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. Er hat dabei nicht selten partisiert, auch provoziert, aber er hat auch die Gralshüter der Orthodoxie aus ihrem Tiefshlaf geweckt.

'O MAHARISHI' - Paul Mason

A biografia do homem que trouxe a Meditação Transcendental para o Ocidente
Nova Era - 1997 - 413pg.

Homem santo profundamente humilde, guru dos ricos e famosos, conquistador dos corações e espíritos de milhões de pessoas, o Maharishi Mahesh Yogi foi guindado à fama no início dos anos setenta, quando sua técnica singular da Meditação Transcendental (MT) e seu tão difundido envolvimento com os Beatles e os Beach Boys causaram uma revolução popular no Ocidente.

Apesar disto, o que sabemos sobre este suave e influente revolucionário se resume às manchetes dos jornais e revistas. Agora, Paul Mason nos leva para os bastidores de toda esta movimentação, através de um vasto material inédito sobre sua vida. O autor revela detalhes do caráter deste extraordinário homem santo, desde suas origens humildes na Índia até suas intermináveis viagens pelo mundo, que acabaram por transformá-lo numa figura popular em qualquer canto do planeta. Conhecemos o poder da espiritualidade que repousa na base do seu ensinamento e a força impulsionadora que o leva a criar o Movimento de Regeneração Espiritual, primeiro estágio da atual Sociedade Internacional de Meditação.

Mais do que apenas uma biografia, o livro de Paul Mason é um questionamento corajoso a respeito dos objetivos e métodos da sociedade que se estruturou ao redor do Maharishi. Ele nos leva aos primeiros tempos da MT no Ocidente, e mostra de que forma ela se desenvolveu até se tornar uma força política, através do Partido da Lei Natural. Somos levados a conhecer as tradições hindus dos sadhus ou homens santos, as escrituras védicas, os Upanishads e o Bhagavad Gita.

Por tudo isto, O Maharishi é um livro essencial para todos os estudiosos da filosofia védica e da Raja Yoga, e que deverá ser esclarecedor para todos os que já praticaram ou pensam em praticar a técnica da Meditação Transcendental.
