Brief description: Paul Mason was introduced to the practice of Transcendental Meditation (TM) in 1970 after having hitchhiked from Britain and visited Maharishi Mahesh Yogi's centre at Rishikesh, India, and after meeting with sadhus, swamis and spiritual seekers, Paul felt spurred to dig deeper into the history of the teaching of meditation, leading to his being commissioned to write Maharishi's lifestory. This highly informative work has since been revised, expanded, and re-published as Maharishi Mahesh Yogi: The Biography of the Man Who Gave Transcendental Meditation to the World.Sustained interest in meditation prompted Paul to also research the lifestory and teachings of Maharishi's master, 'Guru Dev', Swami Brahmananda Saraswati, Shankaracharya of Jyotirmath, the title being that of the most senior and authoritative religious position in Northern India. Paul Mason has produced several books on Guru Dev based on his translation of Hindi works, and has for many years been gathering material for another more expansive volume on the guru.Invited to give a talk about Guru Dev to students of Swami Shantanand Saraswati at Townley Hall in Ireland, Paul felt inspired to compile this brief illustrated account of how Guru Dev and his disciples set about spreading the teaching of meditation.
