We are happy to announce that An Eagle’s Flight: A Yogi’s Spiritual Autobiography by Swami Nirmalananda Giri (Abbot George Burke) has been published and is available on Amazon and other online bookstores in paperback and ebook. The ebook is on sale this week for only 99¢.
In this autobiography Swamiji shares with rare honesty the struggles, insights, and blessings that have shaped his spiritual life.
Raised in a small Midwest town, fervent in his observance of evangelical Christianity, his sudden and unexpected spiritual awakening at the age of 20 set him on a path that would lead him to the other side of the world – to Holy India, which he immediately recognized as the true home of his spirit.
Written with his usual insight, vividness, and humor, this book presents new stories of his encounters with Anandamayi Ma, Swami Sivananda of Rishikesh and many other saints and yogis.
In these pages, you will discover:
- The discoveries that come from a focus on the highest ideals
- Some of the inner and outer obstacles a yogi must overcome
- Insights into reincarnation, meditation, and the science of yoga
At once an intimate memoir and a spiritual guidebook, An Eagle’s Flight invites readers to recognize the timeless call of the soul: to “arise and go” back to its Eternal Source.
Whether you are a lifelong student of yoga or simply seeking an authentic spiritual testimony, this book offers inspiration, guidance, and a glimpse of what it means to live as a yogi in the modern world.
What Readers Say:
“I read the book with deep delight. It offers a fascinating journey of a rational Western youth of the 1960s venturing into the profound realms of Eastern philosophy and mysticism. Having read many life stories of saints and monks from the East, I found the author’s perspective remarkably refreshing – balanced, discerning, and sincere. Swami Nirmalananda’s journey feels deeply personal, yet universal, offering truth seekers a mirror to their own struggles and joys on the spiritual path.” ~Nabin Baral
“I’m willing to bet you’ve never read an autobiography quite like this one! [Swamiji] tells the story beginning with his childhood fascination with religion, which develops into his lifelong search for truth. His childhood experiences are some of the most fascinating and inspiring details in this story.” ~Carolyn Porzilli
“Once the book gets going it draws the reader in, each chapter bringing new spiritual adventures. It is relatable and captivating.” ~Rodney Owen
