A Lie and a Truth

The master-student relationship is one that has existed over centuries and across all cultures – in myth as well as in reality. From Krishna and Arjuna, Shams and Rumi, Socrates and Plato to Buddha and Ananda... each of these relationships was unique and rich in depth and complexity.

In this collection of conversations, the author, Nandan Gautam, brings alive the teachings of his master, Bharat Thakur, by allowing the reader a candid view of their intriguing interactions and eclectic encounters.

Deceptively simple and sometimes uncomfortably direct, A Lie and a Truth is a crisp, breezy yet incisive look into the inner workings of a master-student relationship. It is an anthology of spiritual master Bharat Thakur’s insightful ideas and thoughts about various aspects of our lives. This book will change the way you function, giving you an answer when you least expect it and raising a question when you never thought there was one.
