A memoir of spiritual seeking and discernment

Blair Glaser’s memoir traces her involvement with Siddha Yoga, a movement led by an Indian guru, and the tensions between the community’s promises and her experience within it. The source describes the ashram as a place where she found healing, confidence, calm, and belonging, while also noting that the group would later be called high-control. After the guru returned to India, depression resurfaced and hypocrisies emerged. The available description ends mid-sentence, so the book’s later developments are not outlined here; what it does establish is a focus on devotion, personal change, and the complexities of spiritual community.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in memoirs about spiritual seeking and religious communities
