Book Overview
About the Book NAMITA DEVIDAYAL JOURNEYS INTO THE VERY HEART OF HINDUISM TO FIND HER BALANCE AND HER FAITH. A chance encounter in Rishikesh with a practitioner of a Hindu spiritual tradition turns journalist, musician, free spirit Namita Devidayal on an unexpected journey. It is not one she had expected to embark on, and not one she expects people in her life to fully understand. But walk she does on the path to discovering the ancient texts and universal truths embedded in a religion that she has thus far only nominally belonged to. It turns out to be just the immersion Namita needs at a time that she’s struggling with the decision to dissolve a long marriage, and finding herself restless and unnerved. She is soon neck-deep in the Upanishads and the gospels of thinkers like Ramakrishna Paramahamsa and her teacher’s guru, Dayananda Saraswati. This accidental pilgrim begins to discover the boundless reserves of wisdom that have somehow got drowned out in the cacophony that has consumed Hinduism, leading her both to an understanding of the self and of how to unself herself. Candid and open-hearted, this is one woman’s journey into the very heart of Hinduism to discover peace within herself in a fast-unravelling and increasingly turbulent world. About the Author Namita Devidayal is the author of The Music Room, Aftertaste and The Sixth String of Vilayat Khan. She is a journalist with The Times of India. She lives in Mumbai. Read more
