Summary
A daughter's journey distilling the nectar of the stories and songs she heard as a child. Weaving ancient texts in the fabric of modern life. Rediscovering the land of her childhood, absorbed from her mother, where religion was synonymous with the celebration of life, in all its colours. Journeying from the Himalayas to the Peninsular India, through rivers, mountains, forests, caves. She meets many practitioners. Each conservation reveals unfathomable depths to seeming simple rituals she inherited. The nature of life. Why we born? Why we die? What is change? And what amidst life's constant flux is the One ... constant, unchanging, unmoving?
