Teaching Events: How the Guru Dismantled My Illusions is a book about a student's experiences with his Guru, Swami Satchidananda and all he learned from him on the path toward liberation.
"Swami Satchidananda was somehow in absolute personal command of every situation I ever saw him in, even if he was just sitting and watching. There was something like fire around him all the time, which was interesting from a distance. Up close, that fire kindled my being in places that are forever inaccessible to the world and the thinking mind. His eyes looked into the depths of my being with a ceaseless flow of unconditional love, of total acceptance. It shook my perfectionist mindset to the core. And that’s probably where the story would have ended had I not come to him determined to attain the highest goal."
