 About Kapil Kumar Bhaskar
•Kapil Kumar Bhaskar has been on his spiritual
journey for more than two decades. Blessed by
Adi Gurus, Spiritual Guides and Masters (who
visited him out of their body form).

•Having received divine guidance, his knowledge

and understanding of spiritual matters goes
beyond books and comes from anubhuti…
experience.

• In his own words the experiences he underwent in this sojourn shaped him to become what he is today. His
knowledge does not come from books but from experiences. As he often says, “You have not got birth here,
neither you will get death… The only thing you will get here is Experience…”

• After a successful stint as a businessman, Kapil Kumar Bhaskar has been inspiring and guiding people through
direct interactions and writings; His lifelong experiences have now been shaped in book form, Reminiscences of A
Seeker, which gives in depth information and knowledge of the dark side of the white world.

•A Mentor with a difference, Kapil continues his spiritual quest which he says will last till this life… and maybe
beyond. 3
 About Reminiscences of A Seeker
• Reminiscences of A Seeker – The Dark Face of the White World is Kapil’s true story of his spiritual
journey. It is the unique odyssey where his quest for spiritual enlightenment leads him unwittingly into the
dark world of Dark Arts.

• A series of supernatural experiences lead Kapil to seek help to get out of the problems he was facing
because of his close encounters with the paranormal.These dark encounters lead him from one Master to
another in his quest to get help and with the hope that it may bring him to understand the deepest meaning
of life. What follows next is an incredible series of events which catapults him into the fascinating world of
Dark Arts which suck him into the quagmire of drama, suspense, greed and betrayal.

• This book is to guide all those people who are already on their spiritual journey or are about to embark on
one or are interested in spirituality, paranormal activities. In Kapil’s own words, “I have earnt the hard way
and got trapped in the mystical world but by sharing my experiences with the public I wish my
readers take a prudent approach when they are on this path.”

• This book will also show them the light of hope and guide them how to identify a True Master rather than
getting trapped into the shackles of the ‘flamboyant’ and ‘flashy’ teachers, who in the name of spirituality,
have opened up their shops with hundreds and thousands of followers.

In the second part of the book, we will know how Kapil leaves all his business on his Guru’s one word (Agya).
Second book is all about Bhakti. 4
