Just as the light of a candle has the power to dispel darkness in a room, so also the light developed in one man can help dispel darkness in several others. - Sayagyi U Ba Khin

Goenkaji’s life was a living example of these words. As a Vipassana teacher, he guided vast number of students on this path and through his own conduct he set an example to live in accordance with the principles of Dhamma even in the midst of most adverse conditions.

His humility, unshakable faith in Dhamma, selfless service, and profound understanding of pariyatti (theory), has inspired millions of people around the world, inspiring them to walk on this noble eight-fold path.

This book contains some anecdotes from his life and reminiscence from students of different walks of life on their experiences with Goenkaji & Mataji and guidance they received from them.

This book is ideal for Vipassana meditators as well as non-meditators.
