Journey to Ecstasy

Santa Cruz, CA, February 10, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Journey to Ecstasy: Vaishnava Viewpoint, by Jeff Ratner, distributed by Select Silver, is now out in softcover as well as an Amazon Kindle version. The author is a long-time practitioner of bhakti-yoga and has also successfully managed his own business since 1986. Written for both spiritual novices as well as more experienced practioners, the book comprises three sections: 1.) an overview of the basic tenets of bhakti yoga; 2.) commentary on current issues from a bhakti yoga practitioner's perspective; and 3.) an autobiography with emphasis on the spiritual aspects of the author's life.

The autobiography depicts what happened after Jeff became complacent, neglecting his spiritual practice and getting involved in motorcycling. After a nearly fatal motorcycle accident in April, 2008, emergency surgery was performed. After surgery, the nurses began giving morphine for pain relief. A severe reaction to the morphine ensued, and the author began having hellacious visions, becoming entrapped in a grisly realm of negative energy. Suddenly and quite without warning, he was saved by divine intervention and what happened next is truly fantastic, and comprises the heart of the book.

The soft-cover version, 80 pages, including 10 black & white photos, is available exclusively at www.journeytoecstasy.com. The Amazon Kindle version, which works only with the Kindle electronic book reader, is available on Amazon.
