Kali Yuga Odyssey: A Spiritual Journey

JT Ross Jackson

If you have any interest in personal anecdotes of being with Sai Baba, Swami Muktananda, Rajneesh, various healers, fortune tellers and other representatives of the mystical world, then I suggest you read Kali Yuga Odyssey by JT Ross. JT has a deep scientific background, having received a degree in Engineering Physics. This is a story of his personal quest, propelled by his deep curiosity for things of the spiritual realm. He begins his story with encounters with the renowned psychiatrist Stanislav Grof. With Grof the author has a powerful experience of elevated consciousness. This dramatic shift causes him to seek answers which lead him to encounters with many varied teachers and exponents of mysticism.

His trips to ashrams in India and to various other power centers such as Findhorn in Scotland, makes this a welcome edition to any spiritual seeker’s library. My favorite sections were the ones in Muktananda’s ashram in India and the intense therapeutic session he encountered with devotees of Rajneesh (Osho).

The writing can be a little dry at times, but the book does maintain one’s interest throughout.

The author is currently one of the founders of Gaia Trust. The trust gives grants to over 80 ecological projects in 20 countries and has established a network of eco-villages.
