reviews from us
excellent reviews from american professional review bureaus:
Foreword Clarion Reviews – granted the book 4 stars out of 5
“the spiritual wisdom of india, volume i is an invigorating and thought-provoking look into a world bursting with spiritual history and insight.”
“balancing personal experience with an accumulation of research, the book is an enlightening guide and an obvious labour of love.”
“a genial, informal voice makes the text relatable.”
“as intimate as it is educational, this book doubles as a spiritual guidebook and an informative text. it is sure to satisfy readers who are simply curious about india and its religions, as well as those who are searching for their own spiritual enlightenment.”
The US Review of Books – praised the book in many ways …
“the author has a great love for india and the joy with which she writes about her adventures is profound. ejlersten comes to understand the different philosophies between religion and spirituality. she realizes that religion views god as being something outside of human beings, while spirituality sees divine wisdom as living inside each and every one of us.”
“the author does a good job simplifying eastern topics such as sanskrit, mantra, vedas and the bhagavadgita (the hindu “bible”) to name just a few. her easy and unintimidating writing style allows both novices and experts alike to absorb her stories and teachings without feeling naïve or judged.”
“with her extended wealth of information on the spiritual wisdom of india, ejlersten might just be called a master herself.”
Kirkus Reviews – refer to the book as: “… a robust resource of Indian spiritualism”
“taking place over her 20-plus years of exploration of india’s spiritual culture, ejlertsen’s work is not strictly a memoir.”
“the work brims with useful supplemental resources, including extensive citations, photographs and illustrations, locations and contact information for many of the gurus ejlertsen encountered, and most impressively links and qr codes for a full multimedia experience.”
“despite being labeled volume 1, a robust resource of indian spiritualism all on its own.”
Pacific Book Review – awarded the book their honorable Star-prize
”… a pacific book review star is one of the most prestigious honours in the industry …”
“the book will be of great interest to those seeking to delve deeply into indian spirituality. additionally, casual readers can drop into almost any chapter of the spiritual wisdom of india and discover valuable insight.”
“Ms. Ejlertsen begins by relating two powe...
