"In this year of worldwide celebrations of Baba's 100th birthday anniversary, we are Blessed with a unique book about our beloved Guru. Swami Prakashananda has taken us back in time to be with Baba during those inspiring days when Baba toured the world with his message of Love. Baba's "Meditation Revolution" clearly comes to life, once again, in every page of this historical biography. It seems to please Shakti Kundalini so much that She is dancing through time and rekindling in us the Grace that Baba gave so freely to everyone. I couldn't put this book down, I cried from joy as I remembered the many events so lovingly shared and painstakingly researched by Swamiji. I believe Baba has smiled and waved his peacock feathers and touched us all again through this welcome history on the Guru of Gurus, our Baba Muktananda."

Swami Ramananda (aka Ram Zager)

"Dear Swami Prakashananda,

This biography of Baba is a masterpiece.

The extent and quality of information you gathered about Baba’s life, sadhana and studies until August 15, 1947, through your travels and perceptive research is admirable.

After that, you have presented with deep understanding and in a charming style Baba’s role as GURU. You have excellently conveyed his spiritual greatness and his unique ways of making people aware of their divinity and activating their spiritual development…. Kailash and I have not only enjoyed reading it, we experienced the feeling of living with Baba as we did in his physical presence…. May Baba’s kripa be with you always.

With our love and best wishes."

"Here is the book I've been wishing for! BABA MUKTANANDA - A Biography is a most wonderful gift in celebration of Baba's 100th birthday. In the pages of this book, Baba has truly come back to us in his physical form. Written with reverence, devotion, and a delightful honesty by Swami Prakashananda, this biography is a treasure-trove of precious stories - each one a priceless gem, each one a darshan with Baba. This is a book to be cherished, for it enkindles divine longing in the heart and reminds us how blessed we are to have such a great Guru as Baba in our lives.

Thank you, Swamiji, for this beautiful book!"

Indrani Drake (Devotee since 1975)

"Swamiji wonderfully captures the essence of Baba Muktananda - his LOVE, his enthusiasm for life (especially the spiritual path of kundalini yoga) and his awesome Shakti. He articulates with great understanding and dexterity the vital teachings of Baba's Meditation Revolution.

For those who had the great, good fortune of participating in this momentous rasa lila of the last century, get ready for the ultimate nostalgic trip to the magical '70's - back to a time when heaven came down to earth. For those who couldn't be there, you will be soon. And you will laugh as heartily as Baba did. Your heart will dance with rapture, sing with delight and cry tears of joy as you read about this rare, ecstatic and supremely powerful being."

"Dear Swamiji,

I read your biography of Baba, again, as part of my daily contemplation. I must thank you for publishing it, because re-reading about Baba - especially in my present moments here in Ganeshpuri - brought many tears of gladness and gratitude to my eyes.

Om Shanti"

"Dear Swamiji,

I started your books yesterday, and am now on about page 126 of Baba's biography. I'm so grateful for the work you have done. It is like a jewel that is carrying our lineage. It is mind blowing to contemplate the vastness of the Siddha lineage, the power and grace of it. I really feel the darshan of both Baba and Bade Baba from the book, and the experience carries through the day. Can't wait to finish work and go read some more. Thank you so much."

"Namastai!

I just received my copy (of Baba Muktananda - A Biography) and I want to personally thank Swami Prakashananda for making this book available to the Siddha Yoga community. I have stopped reading it for a moment to send you this note. How wonderful a job you have done in telling of Baba's life. My gratitude for this offering. As one who was Blessed to have been with Baba, I can say WELL DONE AND THANK YOU… THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR BOOK. SADGURUNATH MAHARAJ KI JAY!!! OM"

"I recently read the book Baba Muktananda - A Biography by Swami Prakashananda (www.sarasvatiproductions.com). What a wonderful work. If you were with Baba, or are curious about the life of one of the most respected and revered spiritual masters of the 20th century, then please go the link above and read the testimonials. Baba Muktananda is my Guru. I was Blessed to be in His presence many times and respect all his sannyasins who continue to teach and share the joy and profound and deep teachings of the path of Siddha Yoga. Swami Prakashanandaji had been with Baba since 1969 and observed His Divine leela and remembered events with absolute clarity: painting a picture of Baba's life like a master artist. What a joy his telling brings to the heart as he shares the feeling of what it was like to be in the presence of Baba. The telling of events such as the meeting of the 16th Karmapa and the black hat ceremony in Ganeshpuri. And the joy of the meeting between Lama Govinda with Baba. And the kind words expressed in the poem written by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi that seems to sum up the legacy of Baba Muktananda… This book picks up where Play of Consciousness left off. I encourage all Siddha yogis and yoginis to read this book. Buy it. You will be Blessed by Baba's touch through contemplating His life. Remembering the generosity and grace of Baba's effect on my own life I can only say SADGURUNATH MAHARAJ KI JAY - well done Swami Prakashanandaji. With much respect and love, your friend and Baba's own."

"Dear Swami Prakashananda,

Jai Gurudev!

I read Baba Muktananda – A Biography and I just wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart for writing this amazing book. I was born four years after Baba left his mortal body but after receiving Baba Muktananda’s grace I always felt like I have known Baba since many lifetimes. Muktananda was God walking on earth and I always felt emotional when I thought about the atmosphere around Baba which was created due to the intensity of the fire of yoga Baba had created within himself. I have to thank you for capturing those moments exactly like I had imagined them – full of peace, joy, enthusiasm, love, and stillness. There is a feeling of love for the Guru in each word of the book. Every sentence resonates with Baba’s shakti which turns the mind inward. You have written it from your heart and hence it will touch countless hearts. This book is bound to inspire many seekers to practice Siddha Yoga and it has just become another way for Baba to shower his grace on humanity. Thank you once again for this wonderful gift on Baba’s 100th Birthday. Sadgurunath Maharaj Ki Jai!

In Guru Baba Muktananda’s ocean of grace,"
