Sadhguru, More Than a Life by Arundhathi Subramaniam

 I don't remember the last time when I read a book in under 3 days! To confess, I hadn't planned on reading this book, and it was wife's choice and she liked it a lot. I happened to glance hither and thither inside and found random pages riveting. So decided then and there that I too will read it. Although there was no reason to hasten and finish the book early, I still went all in and read it before the library due date. But then, this I felt is a book - like all of Sadhguru's - to own, not borrow. While the author seems to be extremely literate and has used many words which needs a layman to open dictionary to understand the meaning, there are instances when the choice of words and the language is just perfect and ideal to explain the intricate parts - for not everything is logical when it comes to the mystic's world. Added to this, one can sense the author's outpouring (as well as its esteemed suppression) of the grudged-ness for Sadhguru and all that he is. Overall, a beautiful narration. But more importantly - Sadhguru's life story is even more fascinating and this combination makes this book "unputdownable"!!
