BOOKS-
Bob, India, and more
Mark's "Bob books" are a big part of Mark Sawyer's World.
Master, Swami, Nun, Sinner, Swinger, ONE is about six of the greatest sharers of spirit in the 21st century. Their stories are fascinating, but they would insist tthat their messages, which are both profound and practical, are more important. They show how to bring a focus on the Absolute, on All That Is, on the Dhamma, and on meditation, into our everyday lives. These six are Robert Wolfe of the Ojai Valley, V. Ganesan of Arunachala, Swami Atmananda Udasin of Ajatananda Ashram, Ramesh Balsekar of Mumbai, Captain Bob Nickel (see below), and Maechee Brigitte of Wat Prayong, Bangkok, Thailand.
A Nickel's Worth, is all about my friend Bob Nickel--his life, his spiritual message, and much more. Bob went from being a hippie sailboat captain roaming the seven seas to being an aircraft engineer to being a wonderful giver of Satsang--that is, he led spiritual meetings which meant much to many people, especially in the last year of his life. (His website is www.bobnickelsatsang.com.) "Bob was unforgettable his whole life. He had adventures that mostly we only see in movies," said Dr. John Nasse, a friend for over 40 years. "But it was his ending--that last year of powerful satsangs-- that made his life so deliciously special."
The Shiva Paradox is a spiritual adventure set in India, with Bob ass "Captain Tom." This book is as accurate about India as I could make it. Many of the characters are actual, though I've sometimes changed their names. Bob liked early versions of this book a lot, though we debated whether my depiction of him as Captain Tom was 90 or 95% accurate. He definitely believed anybody interested in India should "give it a read."

Certain persons deserve to be mentioned and recommended for their spiritual sharings.
Randy "Gilana" Goff, giver and teacher of meditations, and superb Mindfulness instructor, is one of these.
Another is Kalidas, a superlative musician ("a premier 21st century wandering minstrel") whose spiritual message and perspectives are also of the highest order.
