Journey Of The Mind

The "Journey of the Mind` is a collection of poems gathered into a little story describing
the voyage of the author. Pragyananda, who prior to this journey was a musician, set out
on a spiritual quest when he was just 20 years of age. He had developed an indifference towards
the life he was living and thus began an exploration into the depths of his own being.
At first he travelled in 1999 to the Sinai dessert where he went into seclusion. This then led
him to the doorway of a spiritual master, the Tantric yogi named Swami Satyananda Saraswati.
Pragyananda stayed with him for ten years in his ashram in India. His journey ends
with this narration 12 years later; but does a spiritual journey ever end?
In 'The Journey of the Mind' Pragyananda depicts, with figurative language, how one is
structured within 'the mind'; the mind that sees, perceives, destroys and recreates a world
of its own perceptions. But how and why does this happen and what can be done about it?
That is the journey that he invites you on, to experience and to reflect upon with this introspective
text that has its roots in the many revelations of saints and sages throughout the
ages.
