Ajayan Borys Whispers of the Himalaya

Annotation

In 1996 meditation teacher Ajayan Borys journeyed to the source of the Ganges River high in India's Himalayas. Intent on Self-realization, he discovered a deserted cave in a Himalayan forest and for two months lived there alone, meditating in silence, surviving on one sparse meal a day. Through unexpected friendships with holy men, encounters with madmen and the Indian army, surviving harsh mountain conditions (including scorpions and mind-numbing cold), he was opened to the depths of the human Spiritand to universal insights, the ';whispers' of the Himalayas. A riveting read, this true-life account will inspire you with insight born of the clash between the human ego and its striving for the highest of human ideals.
