Saga of Divine Love (Prema Gaathaa)

About the Book "Devour the `I'- stand in for me. I have no use of mediated or indirect knowledge! Mother, I want you to come and tell me to my face, "Everything is me." Show it to me.

... Come, Ma! Be visible to me. Give me the intense longing to have your vision. When I say I will 'see' you, I don't mean to just be in mouna and see you. I wish to see you face-to-face."

ese words from Sri Sitaramdas Omkarnath's samadhi-lled pen come from a penance when he was conned to a cave in mouna on the banks of river Narmada.

He mainly preached the chanting of Naam or the Mahamantra i.e. Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Hare Hare, Hare Ram Hare Ram Ram Ram Hare Hare. His teachings had a universal appeal.
