Great Reviews for Close Your Eyes and Open Your Mind
The Renaissance Magazine gave a review and said about the author, "Dada has a rare quality of conveying some of the world's deepest truths in simple, clear language. He takes us into the depths of a rich world of deeper spiritual realities but he always takes us by the hand so we never stray too far from its eloquently simple message."

And what is that simple message that instills peace and happiness? Close Your Eyes and Open Your Mind reveals the answer.
