Why Books? Sadhguru's view

Why Books? Sadhguru's view

“One afternoon, on 23 September 1982, I rode up Chamundi Hill in Mysore. There, I sat on a huge rock, which was my usual place, with my eyes open. After a few minutes, I had an experience that left me forever transformed. Suddenly, I did not know which was me and which was not me. I was all over the place. Every cell in my body was bursting with a new, indescribable level of ecstasy. All I knew was that I had hit upon a goldmine within myself that was dripping ecstasy, that I did not want to lose even for a moment.

“Since then, my life has been an effort to rub this bliss off on people because every human being can know this. These books are not based on a scripture, religion or philosophy. They come from my experience of life, which gives them a very unique perspective. Our goal is not just to sell books but to inspire and bring transformation in a human being.”

Sadhguru is a New York Times bestselling author whose words open a window to dimensions of life otherwise unavailable to most of us. Over the years, skeptics, seekers, disciples, and devotees have asked Sadhguru burning questions about life, death – and everything in between! His books and poems address these questions, offering life-altering perspectives and a taste of existence the way it is.

Sadhguru has authored over 200 books which have been translated into over 35 languages (25 international and 10 Indian languages). With his ability to shape language into a tool towards self-realization, Sadhguru unveils the deeper intricacies of both the human and the larger cosmos, while igniting the longing for the Ultimate that lies within each of us.
