Why an autobiography of a forgotten politician of yesteryear? That is natural to come to some people's minds. I was associated with the Satya Sai Seva Organization Odisha in my early years. In those days, Brahmananda Panda was the Odisha organization chairman and was associated with every aspect of the organization. It's natural for anyone to have curiosity about a person of that stature. I read his spiritual autobiography Ras-o-Baisah and was pleasantly surprised with his closeness to the Godhead. That also led me to find that he is an accomplished writer in Odia and has many literary achievements. A Google search gave me a reference to this book. The book has roughly two chapters. The first summarizes his life and the second one explains his literary achievements. I read the first chapter and skimmed through the second one. The second chapter looked like critical acclaim for people who are in the field of Odia literature.
The book is short. Just about a hundred pages but has much less substance and is quite repetitive. I will suggest Ras-o-Baisah over this book.
