  A Note on the Translation
  No
  translation can fully reproduce
  the flavor of a hook
  in
  its original
  language. Swami Muktananda wrote Chitshakti
  Vilas
  in a unique and
  highly personal style, which combines the poetic colloquialism of spoken
  Hindi
  with
  the
  technical language of the
  Indian
  scriptures.
  This new
  translation
  is an attempt to render Baba's writing as literally as possible into
  an English idiom. We have done our best to keep the flavor of the original
  while avoiding constructions which would sound strange to a non- Hindi
  speaking
  reader.
  The
  spirit
  which flows
  through
  this book
  is beyond
  language, and the experience of reading it has little to do wit
