Description

This book is of a journey through a land where everything is sacred; where peaks are worshipped; where lakes are held in awe; where tree-cutting is considered a sin.

This book is of a journey through a land where everything is sacred; where peaks are worshipped; where lakes are held in awe; where tree-cutting is considered a sin;
where birds carry the wisdom of saints; where Hindu, Sikh and Buddhist seers share the same pantheon; where politicians reconcile themselves to dharma; where independence of the soul rather than the body is paramount; where people belong to antiquity and eternally wait for that ultimate journey that will take them to their Promised Land
