Arundhathi Subramaniam - Sadhguru: More Than a Life

Comparisons with Autobiography of a Yogi are inevitable but this book touches me even more because it discusses times closer to our own and also because its story continues to unfold even as we breathe... Subramaniam is a disciple but she has clearly not given up doubting. She is in awe of the Sadhguru but does not appear to have gone on the unquestioning horizontal mode. A delicious read. Not a book to be missedSatish Purohit, Life Positive

An incisive, insightful, brutally honest book about a remarkably charismatic man. Completely devoid of myth or heresy. Written by an author who is intelligent and independent enough to get real Prahlad Kakar, ad film-maker

This book is alive. It can change livesAnahita De Vitre, educationist

A superbly astute, insightful and honest account of a remarkable mans remarkable life. The work of a sceptical disciple if you like, this is an informative and exhilarating readIan La Frenais, screenwriter and producer

I came across Sadhgurus interview a few years back, and dismissed him as another Osho-wannabe. I wish this book was available then. It would have prevented the years of desperate search and seeking that followed. The author is a seeker herself, and she echoes many of the questions that a sceptical seeker will have. The answers are illuminating, and chip away at ones constructs about gurus and spiritualityNanyar,Amazon I have very mixed feelings about all this guru business. But halfway through the book, I was inspired to make a trip to Coimbatore from my village in Chittoor District, Andhra Pradesh, just to see this person, Jaggi Vasudev. Brilliantly writtenUma Shankari, farmer and social activist

What I love about this book is how the intelligence, precision and wit perfectly match the logic and clarity of Sadhgurus message. It is the first time I have read anything about him that resonated with me, coming from a place of awe and scepticism at the same time Peter Lanyon, furniture designer

It reads like a whodunit. It makes all seekers want to get on a plane, train, bus, whatever, to get to the Dhyanalinga. Authored by a passionate and truthful writer, this book is a gift not just to Sadhguru disciples but to the uninitiated and curious everywhere. I felt I was holding Life in my handsUrmila Banerjee, writer

I have read the book from cover to coverevery single word, some words, sentences and paragraphs more than once. There is nothing here that I cannot wholeheartedly agree with or that I feel the need to dispute... Beautifully written, with just the right balance of scepticism and beliefJonathan Mosse, writer and photographer

The author is neither a blind believer nor a doubter, neither awestruck nor iconoclastic. The book captures the vibrancy and verve, the strength and integrity, the grit and audacity of a great spiritual masterJyoti Swaroop, educationist

This book has left me humbled. Knowing the richness and enormity of Sadhgurus life through its almost energized words has deepened my own thirst, my own longing to know, to live more than a life Shivani Aggarwal, artist
