Book Review
“Gurudev: On the Plateau of the Peak” by Bhanumathi Narasimhan is an intimate biography of Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, written by his younger sister. The book traces his journey from a joyful and spiritually inclined child to a respected teacher and humanitarian. Because the author knew him closely, the narrative has a personal and affectionate quality.
The book describes his early interest in spirituality, his association with saints and teachers, and the growth of his message of peace, meditation, and inner happiness. It also introduces readers to the ideas behind the Art of Living movement and Sudarshan Kriya. Simple incidents from his life are often connected with deeper lessons about love, wisdom, service, and self-realisation.
This book will appeal especially to readers interested in spirituality, biographies, and the life of Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. Although it presents him with great admiration, it offers an accessible introduction to his personality and teachings.
