The pristine flow of the stream of spirituality
Pujya Dr. Tarulatabai Mahasatiji, the luminary disciple of Adhyatma Yogini Pujya Lalitabai Mahasatiji, has obtained a Doctorate in Philosophy from the Mumbai University on her thesis that covered the literature of the Yugpurush Srimad Rajachandra, Avadhoot Yogi Shri Anandghanji, the great poet Banarasidass and the saintly poet Kabir.
During the course of her research work for the thesis, Pujya Mahasatiji had done considerable and deep contemplation, study and analysis of Atmasiddhi Shastra. In Samwat 2042 she gave the discourses on 'Atmasiddhi Shastra' and those were first published in the form of the volume 'हुं आत्मा छु'.
Today, amidst our mundane life style, there is a dire need of superior spiritual literature. This volume carries the virtues of Mahasatiji's deep study, an enlightened pen, a sensitive poet's heart in full bloom and the advantage of a different viewpoint resulting from research. Through these divine discourses, Pujya Mahasatiji has unraveled the mysteries of the Soul in such a way that they deeply touch our spirituality. The discourses also reflect Srimadji's inner state. The unique combination of knowledge with simplicity and utility has brought about the Kanchanmani yoga -- like a gem studded in gold.
This book has attained such immense popularity here and abroad, that the second and third editions of the Gujarati version has gone into a print run of 2,500 and 2,000 sets respectively. The second edition of the Hindi version too is in press.
In several Upashrayas and devout organisations, this book is taken as the medium of self-study - swadhyaya. If these discourses which take us on a tour of Atmadharma were to be analysed, they would set forth a new direction to our spiritual life.
