DESCRIPTION
With a foreword by His Highness Dalai Lama, the book describes the journey of Lakshmi Bandlamudi to Kailash and Mansarovar, viewing them as representation of Purusha and Prakrti or the masculine and the feminine nature of existence, and the journey as attainment of a spiritual quest. Containing mythical stories of Shiva and his consort, it is concerned with her journey as a search for answers that have personal and universal significance. Lakshmi Bundlamudi’s account is an outpouring on the sacred significance of Kailash and Mansarovar for Hindus as well as Tibetan Buddhists. It contains references to writings of Kashmir Shaiva saints and thinkers like Sri Aurobindo among others.
