Close Encounters of the Mystical Kind by Vanitha Vaidialingam
Mystical experiences make ordinary, extraordinary
The universe is a vibrant, dynamic, interactive participant in your daily life. Mystical experiences are nothing but an awareness of the extraordinary in the ordinary. Constant attention to the interplay of varying forces in the events in your life will reveal to you the play of the divine; the mystical in experiences that are dished out to you. It is a non-sensuous awareness that dissolves all boundaries and manifests as grace or whatever you may choose to call it..
What is this book about?
This is an autobiographical account of the extraordinary interventions in the author’s life by mystical forces. All events narrated in this book are presented as they happened with no interpretations, philosophical ruminations or even comments. The reader must interpret the event in accordance with his/her own experience of life.
The book is written in a racy, lucid style and is a first person narrative that is the natural forte of autobiographies. The book begins with early childhood events that shaped the personality of the author and goes on to speak of visitations, visions, dreams and a host of other events that made ordinary events assume a mystical quality. The intensity of a prayer or a deep seated longing seems to activate the mystical and the universe seems to respond in myriad ways.
Who is this book for?
This book is for everyone. The believer, the non-believer, the atheist and the agnostic will find the book interesting. It is not a book about a particular religion or faith (though several words from Hindu mythology are used –that is because the author was born into a Hindu family and was brought up in the Hindu tradition).
However, the book is about personal spiritual experiences of the divine and such experiences are common whatever the religion or faith one is born into. The atheist and agnostic may dismiss the narrated events as mere coincidences, the believers may see the hand of God. Either way, the book speaks to everyone in different ways and is a good read. The style of narration and the organization of the book holds the reader’s attention and one cannot put the book down until one has finished with it!. Happy reading…
