It So Happened That

Ramesh Balsekar has given talks and seminars in the US, Europe, and South India. Though he always addresses the same subject—Consciousness and the teachings of pure Advaita (or non-duality)—he never speaks about it in exactly the same way twice. But one thing remains constant: his wit, humor, and smart comic timing, as well as his deep wisdom. Here, in one collection, are his engaging stories, jokes, quotes, and anecdotes: the heart of Balsekar's inspirational Advaitic teachings. Among the writing included are essays discussing free will, the thinking and the working mind, children and their understanding, and self-inquiry, as well as prayers and personal tales about Ramesh’s own life.
