		<description><![CDATA[My Memoirs by Babamama is a book I’ll cherish forever.  It is so fascinating to know about Shri Mataji’s family history.  Babamama was indeed a very good story teller.  All Sahaja Yogis must read this book.  For the first time, I completely understand how universe was created.

		<description><![CDATA[I enjoyed reading Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance by Barack Obama.  His life is indeed interesting.  I have to say that if I were younger and if I had freedom to pursue my dream, I would have loved to try being a community organizer.
