Kolkata, Jan 17 : Founding member and former president of the USA Chapter of the Art of Living Foundation, Michael Fischman on Friday released his autobiographical sketch 'Stumbling Into Infinity: An Ordinary Man in the Sphere of Enlightenment', here at The Bengal Club.

Associated with the organization for over two decades now, Fischman narrated his personal encounter and experiences with spiritual leader and founder of the Art of Living Foundation, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar over the years and how these have shaped his life and spiritual journey.

The Art of Living Foundation is a volunteer-based, humanitarian and educational non-governmental organizations which aims to relieve individual stress, societal problems, and violence.

In an intimate account, Fischman throws light on many questions he was asked about the early days around Sri Sri Ravi Shankar.

Through this book, Fischman conveyed some of the magic and mystery of those early years - little-known stories, private moments with Sri Sri, and the extraordinary combination of wisdom and innocence that he saw in Gurudev.

He said that the spiritual journey has not always been easy.

Being on this path has brought out both the finest and worst qualities in him.

However, throughout this journey there has been an underlying sense of grace and many mysteries he can't explain. Fischman has offered this book in gratitude, with the hope that it will inspire others to explore a life of greater fulfilment and unconditional love.

Winner of the Nautilus Silver Award, an Eric Hoffer Prize, and a Finalist in the 'USA Best Books 2011' Awards, 'Stumbling Into Infinity', reveals the unusual chain of events that led Michael Fischman from a challenging childhood in an Orthodox Jewish household to an unexpected role as friend and helper to renowned humanitarian and spiritual leader Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, whose Art of Living Foundation's 25th anniversary event drew more than 2 million people.

With elements of 'Eat, Pray, Love' and 'Autobiography of a Yogi', 'Stumbling Into Infinity' is a personal story that begins with the son of a Holocaust survivor, in an Orthodox Jewish household.
