But as I came closer and closer to the last chapter, fundamentalism seem to have overcome the loving yogi. So in 90% of the book he is a peace loving, solve it all with care kinda´ guy. But in the last chapter he goes mental over meat eating. Throwing curses here and there.
It truly shocked me. That this man so full of love could suddenly change into an ´angry pastor´ so to speak. No calm solution to help people realize the error of their ways, no, plain old catholic chock-treatment.
Final verdict?
He is a master of his line, and hands out a ton of information. There is a lot to learn from him - in more ways than one. But for my taste, I did not like the sudden change of personality towards the end.
That said, this is sometimes a tactic used by the mystery schools to frighten people away from their books (just check out the old testament). But it would be too risky to poll that trick with only one man left in the world that holds the secrets.
He was no doubt a very good man. But the time has come to drop the threats and the invisible walls of the mystery schools - so I can not tollerate threats and give a high score.. And summed up by saying Never been more let-down in my life. Currently Self Realization in Kashmir Shaivism : The Oral Teachings of Swami Lakshmanjoo has an overall rating of 8 over 10.
