Journey of the Mind - Pragyananda

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.
