"If I am thrown to an abandoned desert and was allowed to carry books, it would definitely be Torkom's books"
That's how much his books impacted me. Every word, every line fed my soul.
A month ago I have celebrated my birthday and a person for whom I am one of the best friends gave me this packet.
As I placed my hand on it, I knew...What else can it be?
"One of the most awaited books of my life!" Torkom's Autobiography!
As I opened the book another surprise awaited me. The book has a personalized wishes from Gita Saraydarian (Torkom Saraydarian's daughter).
I did not have any words to express the joy I had at that moment. The book that was in my hands at that moment, traveled thousands of miles and arrived for the occasion of my birthday.
A 760 pages book with vibrant white cover and a very apt subtitle, "Autobiography of a spiritual renaissance man"
A two year old Torkom's photograph greets you in the starting page and his story starts with the chapter, "First Consciousness" and climaxed in the book with, "Interview : The Future of Humanity". We all know his story never ends, the ripples of spiritual aspiration he created would continue touching millions of lives!
As we go into the book, we start an exciting journey. We see life through his eyes, we feel his intense hunger to understand the mystery of life.
Personally, I needed this book at this point of time, to understand what it is like to be a warrior of light, to know what the choice of being one is like.
Like the sun rays that clear the fog, the book cleared several of my illusions. I travelled with him from his childhood till his death and I was there when he is making decision between an easy life and a striving life. I was there when his father is imparting wisdom to young Torkom and I was there when the Sedona temple was built and during his 35 years of service speech. I listened to his final words with tears in my eyes.
As I completed the book, I told myself, "If Torkom did it, I am going to do it and we all are going to do it"
Many times as I read his books I wondered, "How this man lived, it's definitely not a rosy path". I am sure
many of you would be thinking in similar lines and this book answers you.
"Even in an abandoned desert
Without food, water or a guide
Let his books be my my companions
my friends and teachers!
They feed my soul
clench my thirst for wisdom
And
Guide me to my Self."

There are tears in my eyes! That speaks for itself... :)
