The Glory of Arunachala pays an ecstatic homage to the rare liberated souls that wandered through the hallowed region of Thiruvannamalai, who showed the ignorant mankind wherein lay the truth of existence. The peregrination of such souls sanctified the places they visited or stayed and lifted up the people from the mire of samsara. The chronicling of the paths traversed by Seshadri Swamigal and his younger fellow- sojourner Bhagawan Ramana creates a veritable galaxy of spiritual luminaries such as Poondi Samiyar, Vallimalai Swamigal, Mouna Swamigal and others. The impassioned account of Ramana’s life from Thiruchuzhi to Thiruvannamalai, is, undoubtedly, the Cereus in the constellation of Orion peopled by countless liberated souls. The textuality of this complex of hagiographies traverses through puranas, sthalapuranas, legends and lore, chronicling the author’s efforts to find testimony and corroboration for them. He is eager to prove that such siddhas truly walked this earth and held a light to Reality for posterity to get enlightened. That is his answer to the question, ‘why do we need hagiographies at all?’ The lofty spirit and style are meant to reiterate the immense possibility for transformation of consciousness that beckons us from the life and teachings of the countless siddhapurushas and jivanmuktas narrated here.

A Search in Secret India is the story of Paul Brunton's journey around India, living among yogis, mystics and gurus, some of whom he found convincing, others not. He finally finds the peace and tranquility which come with self-knowledge when he meets and studies with the great sage Sri Ramana Maharishi. Paul Brunton was a British philosopher, mystic, traveler, and guru. He left a journalistic career to live among yogis, mystics, and holy men, and studied Eastern and Western esoteric teachings. Dedicating his life to an inward and spiritual quest, Brunton felt charged to communicate his experiences about what he learned in the East to others. His works had a major influence on the spread of Eastern mysticism to the West. Taking pains to express his thoughts in layperson's terms, Brunton was able to present what he learned from the Orient and from ancient tradition as a living wisdom. His writings express his view that meditation and the inward quest are not exclusively for monks and hermits, but will also support those living normal, active lives in the Western world.

Places to Be Blessed a deliberate work documenting personally lived experiences that anyone would have interest in. A conscious interpretation of life experiences using folktale to identify and describe painful experiences allows for the freeing of the mind of the burden of those experiences. We all can benefit from using our life experience as spiritual inspiration. Yet among thousands self-help/psychology/inspirational books, none has really been geared to examine themes of social development and discuss sensitive topics like race through a personal lens. Places to Be Blessed offers a liberating source of identity and resistance to oppression through intuitive writing from psychologist and professor, Dr. Valerie Bradley-Holliday. Rather than being a chronological monologue about my life, Places to Be Blessed is a deliberate work documenting lived experiences in a focused way to articulate new learning and new understanding. If a person were interested in a book that uses writing as inquiry to journey from painful experiences and gaining a new perspective, Places to Be Blessed would be it.
