    Hi book-lovers!

    I heard there is a travelogue written by an European 'Paul Brandon' on the holy men in India and more so his experiences with Kanchi Maha Periyaval. I couldn't locate this author on Amazon. Is anyone aware of the title of the book?

    Thanks! Latha

    hi latha,
    i think the one you are searching for is 'Paul Brunton'
    The book is " A search in secret India"
    the book describes about his experiences with many sages and swamis in India,
    among them Kanchi Periyava and Ramana Maharishi...

    try this link Paul Brunton

    Thanks a ton, Sowparnika (what a beautiful name!). I read an article in the latest 'Sakthi vikatan' and wanted to order this book for my parents. I'll look for it immediately:)

    Hi Latha,
    The writer's name is Paul Brunton...the title of the book is The secret life of India. One of the best books that I have ever read. You can google and know many more details about him. He is a German, comes to india in 1930s in search of spirituality and Godmen of India. He roams all over India...meets many God men, some genuine and some not so genuine. Atlast he visits Arunachalam and visits Ramana Maharshi and finds his peace just by seeing him and sitting in front of him, not a single word spoken. He sats for five months, goes back to Germany and makes many visits to Ramana Maharshi. I think it is available on Amazon.com.
