This book is a collection of mesmerizing personal accounts of not just Maharaj’s closest disciples such as Mohan and Jayashri Gaitonde, Saumitra Mullarpattan, Dr. Vanaja Narayanswami, Catherine Boucher, Mai, Anil Chube and Dinkar Kshirsagar but also of seekers like Ramana Maharshi’s grandnephew V. Ganesan, renowned author David Godman, Dutch Advaita Master Alexander Smit and several others.
For over two decades Shri Nisargadatta Maharaj gave discourses at five o’clock every evening at his home in Mumbai. Smt. Jayashri Gaitonde found these talks so interesting that she resolved to try her utmost not to skip a single one. Maharaj spoke in Marathi, the local language of Bombay city, and generally someone reliable would be chosen by Maharaj to translate his words into English.
