Andrew Harvey, an Anglo-Indian novelist and poet, expands on the spiritual transformation that he described in part in Journey in Ladakh. Beginning in 1978 when he first met Meera, the Indian woman who would be his Master, Harvey (who at the time was teaching literature in England and the US), struggled for-- and against-- enlightenment for nine years. With other disciples he followed Meera, who he came to see as Ma, the Divine Mother. In India and then in Germany, under her guidance, he confronted his confused sexuality, his attachment to intellect and reason, his pride and his fears.

Harvey's precise, passionately told story will touch sceptics as well as seekers.

Hidden Journey is a remarkable book for two reasons. First, there is the magnitude of its assertions and of the experiences which Harvey describes... Second, Harvey has brought intellectual rigour and style to a subject - mystical religious experience - which usually makes people feel uncomfortable
