The boy began to apply himself to this meditation practice and became a very unusual saint indeed. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eGajanan Murlidhar Gupte, later known as Gajanana Maharaj, led an unassuming life, to all appearances a normal unmarried man of contemporary society. Crediting his personal transformation to the practice of the Soham mantra, he freely shared this practice with a small number of disciples, whom he simply called his friends. Strictly avoiding the trap of gurudom, he insisted that his friends be self-reliant and not be dependent on him for their spiritual progress. Yet he was uniquely able to assist them in their inner development. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eGajanana Maharaj taught the ajapa-japa of the Soham mantra with the breath. In Light of Soham his teachings for success in Soham sadhana and spiritual life in general have been collected from the writings of himself and his disciples. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAn appendix by Abbot George Burke on the method of Soham Yoga gives detailed instruction on how to practice this method of meditation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Abbot G Burke (Swami Nirmalananda Giri)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1732526672\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781732526679\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Light of the Spirit Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/07\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.01lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.70d","brand":"Abbot G Burke (Swami Nirmalananda Giri)","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44042426482943,"sku":"9781732526679","price":18.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5c52f230-7aa3-453a-b75a-5a0edbd52f6c.jpg?v=1684961451","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/light-of-soham-abbot-g-burke-swami-nirmalananda-giri-9781732526679","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
