A Search in Secret India - Paul Brunton (1934)

The book is about Paul's search for a guru and achieving realization in the end with help of his master Ramana Maharishi, one of the greated seers of modern times. Written in a simple language and aimed towards western audience, I think this book also provides a lot to learn for native Indians to understand their own country.

Must read if someone is trying to get an idea of existence of various forms of yoga that is practiced still in India.
