• "There is no one greater than the Guru, and there is no power greater than faith. Samarpan Yog of the Himalayas (Part-1) penned by his Holiness Shivkrupanand Swamiji narrates the extraordinary journey of a young person on the path of inner search. This book is not about turning pages, but about turning lives. After reading this book, the search for the Guru and Paramatma will end for many sadhaks, because the source of inner knowledge is in this book."--Nitin Gadkari, minister of road transport and highways, Government of India

By now, I have read this book countless times and each time it is like the first time ... only deeper, more profound. It seems to be true that this book is really alive. It seems to change with my own ability to understand. As I become more open, deeper teachings from the book are reaching me."--Sohamji, spiritual teacher, Germany
