I read the book after I have had the good fortune of meeting and being close with both Michael Fischman and His Holiness Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. This book opened my heart to the author and his experiences and gives me immense strength in my value for sincerity and integrity in one’s life. Michael’s story is an inspiration for all that I hold true in my life – love, honesty, compassion, fun, joy and peace. After Michael’s book, to put it plainly – I know myself better.
I will be really surprised if this book does not move you. I would recommend this to anyone who is seeking anything in life, no matter what it be. If you need nothing, then and then alone you don’t need to read this. :)
Stumbling into Infinity is a “must read” for all those who are “seeking” spirituality! An amazing book on Michael’s journey on the path of spirituality and Sri Sri’s unconditional love! I finished this book in one day, it was impossible to put it down! A perfect Guru-deciple story! If you are at an airport this is the book you MUST pick to read! Thank you Michael for sharing your life story and experiences with Guruji. You have inspired us, taught us the true meaning of surrender and devotion!
Michael – thank you for sharing such intimate ‘Guru’ experiences. While reading every page, I could relate it to my experiences, I felt as if ‘my’ questions were answered . It brought so much of peace, joy and an overwhelming feeling of gratefulness. Michael’s story inspires us and fills one with hope and love.
This is definitely one of the very few books I read within a span of 24 hours simply because I could not put it down. I was amazed at how personal this book turned out to be; and how easily I could relate to every experience Michael had. I was in tears of gratitude as I was reading the book and it made me reflect on my own relationship with Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. This bond with a spiritual master is indeed very precious and sacred; and that is what Michael talks about in this book. This is a story of faith, love, devotion and deep knowledge. It’s simple, profound and speaks to the heart.
So honest and open in sharing life experiences!
It is not only an inspiring read, but also I can see myself re-reading chapters as and when I stumble on my path as well.
Michael, thank you for lighting up the path.
what an incredible book this is! Because of the beautifully accessible style it is written, this book is sure to appeal to all sorts of audiences, whether you are looking for inspiration, seeking your true purpose in life, or are just a curious shopper looking for a great read.
The story is brutally honest and deeply inspiring, but at the same time is written with a humor and lightness that makes it impossible to put down. I finished the book in one night and felt as though I had experienced the busyness of New York, the tranquil spirituality of India, and most of all the depth of love and peace that Michael experiences being with Guruji.
Thank you to Michael for sharing his amazing experiences!
This is a beautiful, interesting and inspiring account of one man’s journey on the path of spirituality. Michael’s wit, candour and expert story-telling abilities make it an “un-put-downable” read, from start to finish. He takes us from bustling New York, to beautiful California, inspiring India, the capitivating Carribean and enigmatic Israel. He does not hesitate to share his weaknesses or his fears and the personal stories he sharses brings him so close to the reader, you’ve make Michael a friend for life!
While reading Stumbling Into Infinity I was effortlessly taken into a state of peace, gratefulness and happiness. It is a tale of a person who has devoted his life to uplift human values.
Michael Fischman provides an inspiring candid account of his journey on the spiritual path. He shares his spiritual experiences and how his life was transformed in a language that is easy for the nonbeliever to comprehend. This book is a true reflection of integrity, love and devotion. A perfect Guru Story book with lots of inspiration.
Stumbling Into Infinity is the story of an ordinary man’s quest to find his purpose, which through a series of events leads him into something much greater than expected. Michael Fischman meets Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, now a international spiritual leader who has affected the lives of millions, in the late 1980s when there are just a handful of people. He has written a memoir that is humorous, authentic and transparent.
For me, this is one of those books that I read in a day or two because I got so engrossed in the story. I was laughing, crying and reflecting on my own journey as I turned the pages and I found myself wanting to find out what happened next. Honestly, at first glance I thought it would be impossible to understand the relationship between a spiritual master and a devotee, let alone for someone to write about it in a way that would be interesting and truthful; however, I was blown away by how intimately the author looks at himself, shares his mental patterns, and the obstacles he faced on his journey. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good read and especially for those interested in eastern spirituality.
Many of us know of His Holiness Sri Sri Ravi Shankar as a public figure. But this story gives readers a more intimate and personal encounter with this enigmatic person who has become one of the world’s most respected and loved spiritual leaders. The author, Michael Fischman, met Sri Sri Ravi Shankar as early as 1980 and shares with us many beautiful anecdotes and stories from their early days together. These memoirs are well written, inspiring, insightful, very touching, and even quite humorous at times. A great book to read about the power of friendship, faith, and unconditional love.
