The best is the 5 volume "Satsang with Baba" which are transcriptions of Questions and Answers between him and his students from around 1972, which is, I believe, before he ever came to America. What attracts me to Muktananda is his willingness and eagerness to speak of his personal experiences (as well as comment upon those of his devotees). I find it really inspiring.
