A Disciple by Feroze Dada
Published by Mensch Publishing & Bloomsbury India 2022
A Disciple describes a singular journey with a universal appeal, on the path of Perennial Wisdom. There are lessons for us all as we recognise the call from our inner spirit, our yearning for ‘something other’ in a materialistic world that so often leaves us dissatisfied.
There is another way for us to live, and A Disciple asks important questions about faith and spirituality and connects us with the power of meditation. The author believes passionately that it is meditation that provides the foundation for a caring and compassionate future.
The story is told with engaging candour, with tales from mythology, quotations from Rumi, and references to Sufi texts all adding colour to the Wisdom Teachings he is receiving. The wise ones spoke in parables and metaphor because that is the form that penetrates and transcends our defenses. We go to some deeper part of ourselves; non-linear and non-cerebral, which is what meditation is.
A Disciple is a fascinating exploration about how meditation can not only awaken our latent potential to live the best lives we can, but also transform the world.

The Art of Meditation
A Disciple’ by Feroze Dada is an exceptional and beautiful book which traces one man’s spiritual journey on a quest for enlightenment. It is the perfect book for the seeker of truth with an enquiring and open mind… I am adding a chapter to my morning meditation every day so I can really appreciate it…This will inspire so many people. I am one of them.
Feroze’s book ‘A Disciple’ is a beacon of light that humbly and joyfully weaves the cloth for the awakening of the human being.
“From the bottom of my heart, I thank you for the very beautiful book you have created and composed. I see and feel the love it holds and wish that many might seek it and read it.
Readers of Feroze Dada’s first book, Children of the Revolution, which focused on his work in Myanmar, will have been inspired by his ability to reinvent himself from tax advisor into philanthropist with a determined mission to improve the world… A Disciple is a meditation on the next stage of a journey which clearly has some distance still to run. That journey is described with humility, with a passionate and inspiring intensity and with the underlying goal of helping others to follow the same path. It is a story which will resonate with many, faced as we are by growing and startling inequality and geopolitical threat.
It is a book for our time, full of lessons as we emerge from the pandemic and listen to our inner voices in a renewed quest for individual and spiritual fulfilment. Read it.”
Your book A Disciple was so especially loving and poetic and moved me on many levels…You are a delightfully joyful, energetic, gifted and mindful representative of a healing Spirit and voyager through the world, mind, body, and time who is helping make others aware of their ability to enjoy life, understand relationships, and build new relationships.
Such an amazing book with such awesome insights and for the courage you took to do this journey… ……hugely inspiring.
It’s more than a good story, it’s the path of one who’s been willing to plant his seeds of experience to build a bridge to us so you can go on to plant your own seeds as seekers, allow them to germinate and build your own bridges to the unknown.
These words will never be a substitute for your own experiences but they can act as a guide for you from another’s journey.”
This book shows us routes to spiritual well-being, via caring for others, meditation and prayer. I have always described Feroze as my Sufi Moslem, Buddhist, Franciscan Christian friend; this book confirms me in that view.
Feroze has much to share and he does it beautifully.
One of the most ‘soul-touching’ book I have ever read. Of immense modern-day relevance, it has the potential of becoming a ‘mooring for the soul’ as we descend deeper into an age of materialism and ‘artificial intelligence.
