Nearer, My God, To Thee (And Other Heart-to-Heart Talks)

Dada J.P. Vaswani has been admired the world over for his soul-stirring, inspiring addresses to seekers on the path. Many of his English talks have already been published as books. But his beautiful and uplifting talks in Sindhi have, until now, remained inaccessible to the general reading public. We have made a humble attempt to translate these talks into English and have compiled this second volume, for the benefit of fellow aspirants and pilgrims on the path.

Back of the Book

Ask most people this question: “Have you ever attended a satsang?” The answer is bound to be in the negative. It is one of the tragedies of modern life that we find time for the most trivial and insignificant pursuits; but we cannot – will not – set time aside for the sustenance of the soul.

If you are one of those who have not had the beautiful experience of satsang, this book offers you a substitute in print! It offers sustenance to the spirit; it is sure to nourish you with its timeless wisdom, its clear and emphatic articulation of eternal values and its gentle but sure nudge to get you on the right path.

Rev. Dada speaks to us as fellow devotees of the Lord, fellow pilgrims on the path of life. Therefore, his words come from the heart; it is as if he permits us to listen to his reflections and introspections on life, living, God and man. We feel privileged to share his thoughts; we are blessed by the abundant grace, wisdom and blessings that flow from his inspired words.

Let Rev. Dada take you on the road less traveled. The treasures you will discover on this road will be yours now and in the years to come. This book offers you the treasure of wisdom that you can carry with you into the life beyond this earthly life.
