    About this ebook

    In Quest of Sadguru is an ultimate guide for all those in search of a true master. It is an insightful book which profoundly explains the deeper truths about the journey of a seeker in finding a true master, and more so about how to be a disciple and different facets of the relationship between the master and the disciple.
    These days almost anyone can be given the label of a Guru - that is the popular perception (read misconception!) by the masses at large. The fact is that understanding the true meaning of the word ‘Guru’ is as rare as the usage of this word is common. And that is why this book comes across as a much needed eye-opener that dispels all myths and misconceptions whilst simultaneously unveiling the true identity of the Guru for one and all.

    This beautiful masterpiece ‘In Quest of Sadguru’ is a collection of talks by the revered master Anandmurti Gurumaa on Gurus, Sadguru and Shishya. It is an eye-opener, a guide and a true companion for every seeker. It presents a comprehensively thorough picture of who a Guru really is. She meticulously describes the attributes, defining features and characteristics of a true Guru. Not only this, but she also elucidates what a Guru is not - enabling us to detect the fraudsters that abound in plenty these days who swindle the guileless public exploiting their blind faith to no end.
    Furthermore, Gurumaa reveals some highly inspiring stories from the lives of such tremendously exalted Gurus like Kabir, Rumi, Milarepa to name but a few. These stories are truly awe-inspiring and spiritually uplifting, stirring the very core of heart. They will undoubtedly provide tremendous motivation and invigorate all those on the spiritual path.
    Who is a Guru? How to identify pseudo-gurus and steer clear of them? How to recognise a true Guru? What is the need of a Guru? Who is a disciple? What is the code of conduct for a disciple? If you have any such query - well, this is the book for you, especially for you.

    Anandmurti Gurumaa

    An embodiment of love, grace, compassion, and empowered with the wisdom of the times, forward thinking and dynamic in her approach and outlook, Anandmurti Gurumaa stands as a constant source of inspiration for all. She is a source of light to those looking for an answer, peace, wisdom, and unconditional love. Defying definitions, pragmatic, realistic, of liberal views, she is open-minded like sky and intense like space. Anandmurti Gurumaa was born on 8th April 1966. She had a wonderful childhood - when other children were learning nursery rhymes, she was listening to the philosophy of Vedanta. While other children dreamt of dolls and cars, she was learning the art of awakening. She was always seen meditating or sitting in silence. She travelled in different parts of India, finally settling in Rishikesh - a holy city on the banks of the Ganges. While in Rishikesh, she went into silence and wanted to remain in this state forever. However, the world needed her presence to show light to the mankind groping in dark; seekers were flocking from everywhere seeking guidance. Out of her compassion for humanity she came out of silence and began to show the way. At a very early age, life groomed her to be a master and a guide to seekers. Soon the fragrance of her spirituality spread and people from all over started coming to her seeking knowledge and guidance. She started travelling to address conferences, meet people and to give them guidance. Later she started her meditation retreats which gave her a working ground. Thousands of people would come to unlearn the worldly ways; to rise above dogmas and doctrines of religion. She simplified meditation for the masses and made it of such ease that no one ever felt that this path was for a chosen few only. As fish to water, so did poetry come naturally to her. Anandmurti Gurumaa has written hundreds of poems. She has also set them to music and sung them in her mellifluous voice. Anandmurti Gurumaa teaches the essential precepts that we must understand and internalize, if we are to progress on the path of spiritual understanding. A pragmatic approach of her teachings empowers the seeker with the wisdom to live with absolution. With her characteristic humility, Anandmurti Gurumaa says, “I have nothing new to offer in terms of words; but much to offer in terms of the essence of truth.” Redefining spirituality: Anandmurti Gurumaa says, “The Spiritual path is a warrior’s path where you have to wage a war against your own darkness, your own ignorance – not to fight with your own mind but to understand it so as to transgress it. It is like the seed that is always there but flowers only in the right climate, rich soil and with the loving nurturing of a gardener.” Gurumaa says she does not belong to any one tradition, religion, path or label. She considers herself a citizen of world and is not limited by narrow considerations. She is a free-spirited, transendentalist and is carving out a path-less path for seekers. She says that no guru can grant you enlightenment; no master can awaken your kundalini; one has to toil hard oneself in the presence of the master- but without making the effort seem a strain. Seek, but with patience; meditate, but without any goal; sharpen your awareness so that you rise above the ‘me-mine-I’ syndrome of identification with the self. Today Anandmurti Gurumaa resides in a beautiful ashram in Gannaur, Haryana, India. Ever welcoming to seekers; ever inviting to all; a hard task master who will not appease your ego, Gurumaa says, “People do not need a living guru; they need a look-alike guru, a toy. As one has to surrender totally to the guru, people, who love their selves so much, find it difficult to do so. Therefore most prefer to stay away!” Anandmurti Gurumaa is a living master who is so ordinary in her extraordinariness! She is a challenge to the intellect, a pleasing sight to the eyes, humorous, and a lively new age Buddha.
