About the Book
This book offers a vivid description of the many sadhus, saints, fakes, and frauds encountered by the authors during their visit to the Kumbha Mela. Written by Dilip Kumar Roy with the joint authorship of his daughter-disciple, Indira Devi, this work is a significant contribution to the field of hagiography (the study of saints).
Amidst the spiritual fervor and vast diversity of the Kumbha, the book provides a unique insight into the world of religious figures. The authors not only highlight the sincerity and devotion of true spiritual seekers but also shed light on those who exploit faith for personal gain.
This authentic account serves as a ray of light in a world where God-denial and skepticism prevail, offering a fresh perspective to those in search of spiritual truth.
Key Themes:
- Authentic Spirituality vs. Falsehood: The book explores the contrasting figures of genuine saints and fraudulent sadhus who deceive the masses.
- Personal Transformation and Yoga: The authors share personal experiences, spiritual insights, and the visionary experiences of Indira Devi, who was deeply involved in yoga and spiritual practices.
- Pilgrimage to the Kumbha Mela: The narrative immerses readers in the spiritual pilgrimage and its significance, detailing the diverse personalities the authors encountered.
About the Authors:
- Dilip Kumar Roy was a prominent figure in the field of spirituality and hagiography. His profound writings on religious figures have made lasting contributions to spiritual literature.
- Indira Devi, a wealthy woman, became Dilip Kumar Roy’s disciple after meeting him. Together, they founded the Hari Krishna Mandir Ashram in Pune. Highly psychic and receptive, she had vivid visions, many of which are described in this book, offering readers a glimpse into her unique spiritual experiences.
