Human life has been considered as the most precious and excellent creations of the Lord, for it is only at this plane of existence that a man can reach the highest level of self-development and self-unfoldment. Howsoever great progress or attainments one may make at the material level, real contentment and happiness will always evade him till his soul gets the nourishment of the spiritual experience. To have experience recollections of his perceptions and teachings are very essential. They charge a devotee, from time to time, to remain steadfast in his journey to the spiritual destination shown by the Sadguru.

Kabir-the great poet saint has said “It is the Guru who is in possession of the Divine Word which leads to the understanding of Gods… Sadguru is like a true warrior who shoots the arrow of the Word. The movement it struck me, I was flat on the ground and a hole was cleaven into my heart (to see God)”. Such is the power of Word!

God World II is a sacred reference of the teachings of Parama Pujya Sri Ganapati Sachchidananda Swamiji. These teachings provide to the reader the richness of spiritual wisdom narrated in a simple and unpretentious style. The contents of the book are spread over to a wide of subjects covering diverse aspects of the Supreme Reality, as unfolded by Pujya Sri Swamiji in his discourses, given at different points of time. The language of Pujya Sri Swamiji is the language of heart – a natural flow of communication filled with sublime and profound spiritual truths.

The Datta Yoga Centre of U.S.A., and particularly its chairman Dr. Prakash Rao & Smt. Nandini Rao have done a great service to thousands of Pujya Sri Swamiji’s devotees all over the world, by collecting the discourses of Pujya Sri Swamiji and putting some of them together through this publication. That, it is their second venture in this direction, goes to show how dedicatedly they have done their follow up by documenting the spoken words of Pujya Sri Swamiji and finally putting them in the book form for the benefit of one and all.

The Datta Peetham lovingly acknowledges their sustained effort we reverentially bow to his Holiness Sri Ganapati Sachchidananda Swamiji – our beloved Sadguru Deva, for inspiring the Datta Yoga Centre in accomplishing this invaluable task.
