I take pride in calling myself a Book Lover. Books have played a great role in my life. This blog is devoted to books that enlighten, elevate and uplift. I shall try to provide links to good and great books, besides discussing about them.(Grateful thanks to Jon Sullivan and Public-Domain-Photos.com for freely providing the background photo).

This books takes you on a journey to the charming Mayavati. It records some of the great visitors' visit to this place. Swami Vivekananda's going to this place and his stay for a fortnight has been captured in a commendable fashion that one feels the presence of that great leader there.
It also takes you through different seasons and how this ashram has been in existence for more than 100 years.
It is a must read book for Swamiji's devotees.
Thank you Mr.Chowdhury, thank you very much for your comments.
