Touched by Fire

Pandit Tigunait’s autobiography recounts his remarkable journey from his boyhood home in Amar Garh, a traditional village in northern India, to his current life as the spiritual head of the Himalayan Institute. Along the way, you’ll share in his immersion in the Sanskrit scriptures, meet the saints and spiritual masters who teach him valuable meditation techniques, and witness some astonishing miracles and mystical events. Although this book is not a “how to” guide to enlightenment, by describing the challenges he faced―the years of disciplined study, the setbacks, the triumphs, and the struggle to master emotions like anger, pride, and despair―the author gives us the keys to finding our own way to happiness and spiritual fulfillment.
