ABOUT THE AUTHOR Mahanidhi Swami
Mahanidhi Swami’s spiritual journey began in his early years when he was raised in a Christian family. His early education included an extensive study of the Bible. However, he found Christian theology leaving many of his questions unanswered. So, in his late teenage years, he set out in pursuit of these answers by gaining knowledge and understanding of other religions and philosophies from around the world. His relentless search for knowledge also spawned other disciplines such as theosophy, psychology, alternative medicine, spiritual teachings of the East, Astanga-yoga, and a variety of occult sciences & mysticism. His search for that last piece of the puzzle that encapsulated his research finally ended after his first reading of the Bhagavad-gita, Also known as 'The Song of God'. In this classic summary of Vedic philosophy, Sri Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead reveals the profound truths of prema dharma to His friend Arjuna.
