Ashutosh Baba: The Memoirs of Acharya Ramananda Avadhuta

For thirteen years Dada Ramananda served as Shrii Shrii Anandamurti€s personal assistant, giving him unprecedented access to one of the most important and controversial spiritual masters of the modern age. He witnessed these critical years of the master€s life, including his arrest and subsequent persecution by the Indira Gandhi government, from a privileged vantage point that allowed him to see a side of Anandamurti that few disciples ever saw: the personal, intimate details of the master€s daily life. In these memoirs, Dada draws back the curtain and ushers us into the guru€s inner circle, giving us a unique behind-the-scenes view of one of the least-known but most important personalities of our time.

Dada Ramananda's account is a treasure trove of material for historians and future devotees of God.
