P.J. Mazumdar holds an MBBS and MS from Guwahati Medical College in
Assam, northeastern India. He works as an ENT surgeon and has
published his poetry in India, the UK, and the US.
He is a member of the Assamese community of the northeastern part
of India. Originally from Hajo, a town centered on the famous
Hayagrib Madhob temple of which his family has been part of the
traditional administrators, he has been brought up in the rich
traditions of Hinduism.
Mazumdar's influences include the saints Sankardeva of Assam and
Ramakrishna Paramahamsa of Bengal, whose syncretic teachings
combine the unbending rationalism of Advaita philosophy with the
devotion of the Bhakti tradition.
"This superb book tackles the difficult questions contained in the
metaphysics of Yoga with great clarity, so that to-day's educated
laymen, eager to understand these great truths, will find it
comparatively easy to comprehend them. P.J. Mazumdar is a
distinguished Indian surgeon, and is thus able to bring, through
his knowledge of modern science, the necessary lucidity to find the
satisfactory congruence with contemporary knowledge and the ancient
hallowed teachings of Advaita Vedanta and Non-Dualism.… I am
confident that this book will serve as an indispensible guide for
all those earnest readers keen to follow and understand the
essential wisdom of the major Upanashadic Truths, still applicable
more than ever for the modern man and woman."
—Alan Jacobs , President of the Ramana Maharshi Foundation UK
