Reviews / Votes
As usual, Easwaran writes of profound truths with a clear and light touch. - Unity Bookstore NewsInspiring passages, words of practical wisdom, anecdotes, everyday tales that hide profound truths... Easwaran's style is lucid, never pedantic; humorous without becoming flippant. - India Currents
Constant Companion [Names of the Lord] is filled with insights we can all use to help us on our quest... Very highly recommended. - SSC Booknews
