Details: Born in the year 1902, G.K. Pradhan became Vanijya Visharad from Gujarat Vidyapith. During his Vidyapith days, he had the opportunity of getting into close touch with leaders and intellectuals in India. He joined state service in Madhya Pradesh. He then gave up service and returned to Ahmedabad, to work as editor of an English magazine. Then he turned to business and experienced many vicissitudes in life. Like his earlier book entitled "Towards the Silver Crest of the Himalayas", Shri Pradhan has recorded in this book the discussions he had along with fellow spiritual-seekers, with Master, whom he terms "Swamiji". The discussions proved of great benefit to im and his fellow-seekers in self-realization. The central point in Swamiis teachings, according to Shri Pradhan, is that there is no "becoming," but only "being". Everyone has to find the path for himself and no one can - neither a Guru, nor the Holy Scriptures nor teachings - help one in attaining enlightenment. The scriptures and teachings may be best be pointers to the direction, but the spiritual - seeker has to tread the spiritual path lone by himself. The book is appropriately titled "Know Thy-self". Shri G.K. Pradhan passed away in 1963 at the age of 61.
