At present I am reading the book: A Search in secret India, New Delhi, B.I. Publications Pvt Ltd, (1934), Reprint 1989 by Dr Paul Brunton, who claimed to be the one who introduced Yoga in the West. He came in 1920 to India to hunt for a true Yogi who could give answer to his question which is daunting him because of materialism in the west. In that search he met so many true and fake Yogis, sannyasis. He says when he began the book that, ‘When I saw the cataract of credulity which covers so many Eastern eyes, I thanked Heaven for such scientific training as the West has given me and for the common sense attitude which journalistic experience had instilled in me. There is a basis of fact underlying much Oriental superstition, but vigilance is needed to discover it. I was compelled to keep a critical but not hostile eye widely open wherever I went….
But some of his records look more like investing journalism than presenting what his scientific training in the West has given me. I will quote them in a separate article which I am going to write. However his encounter with some sincere and serious gurus like Sri Chandrasekara Saraswati Swamini of Kanchi Mutt and Sri Ramana Maharashi though reflect their true nature, still what he gained from such encounters looks more like his own personal experiment on their experience than sincerely reflecting his scientific training. I know that those who go to another culture to understand it often end up using it to experiment with their own projects rather than sincerely learning or recording their investigation. To me he looks more like a journalist than a serious searcher about Yoga or Yogis, however it is claimed that he introduced Yoga in the West. However this reading forced me to reflect on certain claims by some Yogis or gurus and Sannyasis. Then I wrote one article in Tamil which I posted in the blog [Question without answer, posted on December 15th, 2021]. As I continue to reflect on this night I wrote this song expressing my search for the answer which I found in the Lord. Though He became my answer, I still face lots of questions regularly in my life.
