In a world increasingly driven by material pursuits, Ishwar Darshan by Ramesh Ramchandra More stands as a deeply introspective and enlightening work — a spiritual memoir that chronicles one man’s transformative journey from curiosity to divine realization. Described by the author as a “short treatise” rather than a fictional account, this book invites readers into the intimate spaces of faith, doubt, and revelation.
The narrative begins in the author’s childhood, where early memories of witnessing his father walk barefoot on fire during the festival of Holi sowed the seeds of wonder and inquiry. As he grows, More’s fascination with the unseen takes him into experiments with planchettes and spirit communication alongside his friend Sudhir Nagle. These youthful explorations of the occult form the foundation of his spiritual curiosity — a search for truth that oscillates between skepticism and belief.
A turning point in the author’s life arrives with the guidance of Acharya Sir, a revered spiritual mentor who helps channel his raw curiosity into purposeful Sadhana (spiritual practice). Under his guru’s influence, More embraces disciplines such as Japa (chanting) and Tratak (meditative gazing), gradually transforming from an experimenter of the occult into a seeker of divine truth.
One of the most striking moments in Ishwar Darshan occurs in the village of Belgaum, where the author describes a miraculous, physical manifestation of Lord Shiva — appearing as a radiant ball of light. This life-changing event leads to the establishment of a local shrine, symbolizing not only divine grace but also the culmination of the author’s long spiritual quest.
Beyond personal experiences, Ishwar Darshan serves as a spiritual and philosophical guide for readers intrigued by the paranormal and mysticism. The author discusses topics such as black magic (Bhanamati), ghosts, and possession, offering rational insights that separate genuine phenomena from superstition. In doing so, he courageously exposes fake godmen and blind rituals that exploit faith. His message is clear — the path to the divine lies not through fear or illusion, but through purity of heart, devotion, and the guidance of a true Guru.
The book also includes specific mantras and yantras, making it a practical resource for spiritual aspirants. What sets Ishwar Darshan apart is its balance between experiential spirituality and critical reasoning — a rare combination that appeals to both believers and rational thinkers.
