Dear Mr. Amar Nath Wadehra, please allow me to thank you for the review of my book One Master One Disciple in The Sunday Tribune (http://www.tribuneindia.com/2008/20080518/spectrum/book5.htm AND http://savantsallies.blogspot.com/2008/05/journey-to-redemption-by-amar-nath.html). I was really touched that you compared it to Paramahamsa Yogananda's Autobiography of a Yogi as that is an all time classic writing of this genre of books. Since you dwelled so much on the personal I must tell you that this chapter was not in the original draft that went to the publisher but was pulled out of me by the Editor who thought the reader might want to know where the author was coming from.
I would like to point out though, that your understanding that Gurunath is in control of the publishing house Yogiimpressions is incorrect. My book was selected by the publishers through submission online. They are an independent publishing house and have nothing whatsoever to do with the Hamsa Yoga Sangh which is Gurunaths organisation. In fact Gurunaths own book "Wings to Freedom' is self published and facing lots of difficulties in marketing. Far from being a new age guru he reminds one of sages of ancient India and his wisdom is comparable to the wisdom of sages such as Vasisth and Vyasa. You can see some of his videos on www.youtube.com/hamsayogi . He was selected to address the United Nations Global Ethics Committee purely on the basis of these videos as we dont have the funds or talent for lobbying for such appearances.
I felt I must put the record straight on these points. With much warm regards, Jyotii Subramanian
