Fortunate will be those who read and practice the principles of metaphysics explained and simplified in this unique book, Merging with Siva, based on the 50 years of practical experience and sadhana of Jagadacharya Satguru Sivaya Sri Subramuniyaswamigal of Kauai Aadheenam. In my opinion, this is God’s boon for modern society living in complexity and confusion. This book is a guiding light which illuminates the path to peace, prosperity and happiness by integration and harmony of mind, body and soul to lead towards the ultimate purpose and goal of human life. I highly recommend the precious work, Merging with Siva, to every serious-minded person.§

Satguru Sivaya Subramuniyaswami has done an excellent work in explaining yoga, meditation and mystical arts in a way accessible to the younger generation as it has been written in a modern out-look. By reading 365 lessons in this book, seekers can achieve good character, best concentration of mind, powerful endurance, best discipline and become good citizens. Hindu ideas are deeply explained to achieve the spiritual way of life. The book is the best result of Swamiji’s vast experience in spreading Hinduism among the public for the half century. Shortly speaking, the book is an encyclopedia about Hinduism containing all the details of Hindu religion. This valuable book is to be made available to all Hindu families and to be read daily by them. We are proud to record our congratulations to Gurudeva for his sincere works in writing this book and for his other activities done by him for Hinduism. ¶In this connection, we also pray our Almighty God to give long and healthy, peaceful life to his swamis, yogis and sadhakas for their kind services to Hinduism by assisting Gurudeva in his Herculean task.§

Satguru Sivaya Subramuniyaswami has brought out this extraordinary book, Merging with Siva, presenting 365 daily lessons for Hindu families and their children to build character, understand the mind and strive for God Realization. It is stated how wisdom, or the burst of knowledge, begins to unfold and express itself. Such a burst of knowledge can happen only in the lives of those who strive hard to tread the spiritual path. Those who seek the path of enlightenment will surely be benefitted by these lessons. The spiritual experiences narrated in this book will perhaps change one’s life forever. Merging with Siva will no doubt serve the cause of Global Hindu Renaissance.§

The new book, Merging with Siva, has much information and inspiration to offer to spiritual seekers around the world. H.H. Satguru Sivaya Subramuniyaswami has once more given a great gift to humanity: to Hindus, to know their heritage better and to non-Hindus, to appreciate the glory of the great Sanatana Dharma. The voluminous work has rich theories and concrete practices. Based on his own personal experiences, on authentic texts of Hinduism in general and of the Nandinatha Sampradaya (tradition) in particular, the guidance here boosts the morale of any devotee on the path. May Lord Siva bless every reader with great spiritual progress!§
