RANJIT SINGH KUMAT
One, who sees the hell, sees the animal kingdom One, who sees the animal kingdom, sees the suffering
Shri Kumat shows us that Meditation is, in one form or the other, a method of Self-awareness, Self-purification and Self-realization. In this pursuit, the Indian tradition has excelled through the ages and continues to be a guide to the right knowledge, the right perspective, and the right conduct. I am of the view that Shri Kumat has rendered rare yeomen's service to the loftiest and the noblest summits of excellence in Indian heritage.
I commend this book to one and all, especially to scholars and Sadhakas' who wish to understand the intricacies and the nuances of Meditation in the Indian tradition and who wish to practise them to make their lives and the life of the society noble and sublime.
