Day 19 of #AtoZChallenge
Shriman Yogi is not a book. It’s a treasure. It’s a torrent of emotions that lifts you up in the air, twists you in a whirlwind, makes you cry like a baby and leaves you in a state of awe. And this happens every time you read it. When I read this book for the first time at the age of 20, I knew I would come back to this book many times. 8 was the number when I last counted, I lost count after that. I know people who have read it a dozen times and still want to read it again.

Shivaji is one of the most celebrated personalities of Indian history and a lot of books have been written on his life. But Shriman Yogi is undoubtedly the best. It depicts minuscule sentiments of Shivaji in different roles in a sensitive and profound way. Compassion, sympathy, anxiety, passion, anger- all flow through the words of the author and take the reader on a roller-coaster ride of emotions. So many people have confessed to having cried through the last few pages of the book.
It is a must-read. No conditions.
