Guest guest Posted August 4, 2005 Report Share Posted August 4, 2005 Om amriteshvaryai namah I have only read two books about Amma. Awaken Children in which Swami Amritaswarupananda journals conversations and experiences with Ammachi. I read Volume 1 and loved it. There are 9 volumes. The Path to the Mother by Savitri Bess (an American devotee). I think I'd recommend sticking with the Beloved Swamiji.

Guest guest Posted August 4, 2005 Report Share Posted August 4, 2005 Beyond Big Swami's biography of Amma and the Awaken Children series (dialogues from years ago between Amma and Her children), I really strongly recommend the two books by Ramakrishnananda Swami, "Racing Along the Razor's Edge" and "Ultimate Success." Both of these books of his resonated so deeply with me. His writing is so powerful and moving.

Guest guest Posted August 4, 2005 Report Share Posted August 4, 2005 Ditto on all of the Awaken Children series of books, for starters. All of the books containing experiences with Amma written by swami(ini)s, are especially enjoyable, in addition the experiences recorded Dayalu. --- ammasiswari <ammasiswari wrote: > Beyond Big Swami's biography of Amma and the Awaken > Children series (dialogues from > years ago between Amma and Her children), I really > strongly recommend the two books by > Ramakrishnananda Swami, "Racing Along the Razor's > Edge" and "Ultimate Success."

Guest guest Posted August 4, 2005 Report Share Posted August 4, 2005 Speaking of books, I noticed on eBay that someone is selling a six-tape set of Swamijji's satsangs, and also a lot that includes several of the Awaken Children volumes, the commentary on The Thousand Names of the Divine Mother, and several of the Getting to Joy series. I personally have enjoyed all of the spiritual journeys with Amma written by devotees -- but among them, Come Quickly My Darling Children is an especially nice collection of stories, as is My First Darshan. love, prashanti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 5, 2005 Report Share Posted August 5, 2005 I definitely recommend the Awaken Children series. They were the very first books I ever read about Amma!

Guest guest Posted August 5, 2005 Report Share Posted August 5, 2005 The Awaken Children volumes show Amma more in the light of a guru, more so than the way she seems now (IMHO), maybe because of the larger group of devotees and ashramites nowadays. The same with Swami P's satsang tapes, they're great, but I hardly see anyone applying such "old school sadhana" these days. I mean, why go through all that work when all you have to do it do IAM and go for darshan? It's as if that Amma was replaced by simply a "world mother" figure. Swami P's autobiography volumes are good. His second volume is interesting because it gives a different view of some of the same events detailed in some of the other books like Awaken Children or the other 2 similar ones(Eternal Wisdom, I think). For example, in the Awaken Children volume account, Amma levitates off the ground at one visit, while Swami P recalls her only bouncing around. > --- naaraayana_iyer <jaimini.upadesa@g...> wrote: > > > OM amriteshvaryai namaH > > > > Namaste Friends, > > > > Can you suggest some good books that I as a beginner > > can start with? > > > > I just got one book ... the biography by > > AmritaSwarupananda. > > > > Thanks > > Warm Regards > > Narayan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
