Just unputdownable. In search for the eternal question Who am I, the Swamiji renounces all the materialistic pleasures and careers and commits himself to the profound belief of finding the truth. After a fairly long search he finds the eternal truth of I am Sunya. The ego-less state of existence, where God is everywhere and man is just nothing.
The book describes the presence various means of approaching the truth like Karma yoga, Bhakti yoga, Jnana yoga and Raja yoga. Swamiji has described his practical experience with Jnana and Raja yoga while also cited examples of others following the paths of Bhakti and Karma to achieve the truth.
The description of a Bhakti yogi in the epilogue is quite an interesting read.
More details about the books and other works of Swamiji can be found in:

hari OM bandho, i completely agree with the view that the book is un-put-down-able. nice to see your review.
I have met Swami Virajeshwara and had been seeing him for the past 10 years or more.His teaching is simple---do prayers regularly;all the different Gods are one and the smae..Does not matter whether you worship Shiva,Vishnu or Kali...speak the truth"He leads a spartan life in a remote village without phone,TV etc.He is a beacon-light of knowledge of Hinduism,with a smile.
Hi, Just wanted to check if you have met Swami recently. Thanks. Please email me at sree_krishna2000@yahoo.com
I met him almost 3-4 years back. Have not met him very recently though.
I met him just a few days back. I had gone there with the intent of asking a few questions. I sat at his feet for 2 hours, and didn't utter a single word!
