Where Prayer Happens

Where Prayer HappensRamesh Balsekar was truly an extraordinary being. A successful banker, a prolific author and an exceptional spiritual teacher he directly enriched the lives of tens of thousands of people from around the world. His easy spontaneity and effortless lucidity, his clear thinking and compassionate heart, his wry humour and sparkling wit attracted hundreds of spiritual seekers to his home in Mumbai every day of the week.
There, ensconced in his rocking chair, he would converse with them, without dogma or spiritual jargon - clearing cobwebs of doubts, undoing conceptual knots, patiently, relentlessly pointing to the Truth. And he always hit the mark - seekerssitting across him would often bemoved to tears or laughter or they would just heave an enormous sigh of relief as if he had taken a weight off their burdened mind.
In turn, they would shower him with their love and their gratitude. They would write him warm intimate letters sharing with him their spiritual journey or their poems or just simple day-to-day anecdotes from their life. Where Prayer Happensis a wonderful compilation of such letters written by the seekers to their Satguru.
