The Walking Shiva of Varanasi

Monumental, Brick, mortar and steel could not restrain Him, nor can a wooden casket at the bottom of the Ganges, off the Panchangangaghats in Varanasi. Mahatma Triailingaswami breaks free again out of compassion for His children. Much averse to publicity during is times, this book is a rare feast. His life and teachings come through with chakra piercing force, through the digital din of our times.

During his physical embodiment Paramahamsas sought his satsang. Here is the rare opportunity to drink deep off the fountain of spirituality. A must read for every earnest spiritual seeker groping his way about in this cyber age of truth benumbing distractions.

Swami Gokulananda of Ramakrishna Mission, New Delhi, Wrote: Among the great souls and seers who have sanctified the earth of this country, Trailingaswami Maharaj is one of the foremost. His spiritual attainment and his life are legendary. Sri Ramakrishna who met him in Varanasi….. Though one is familiar with the legends about Trailingaswami, there is dearth of dependable literature about his life and teachings. I am happy to find that Dr. Rama Rao's book filled this vacuum.
