A Pilgrimage through Ancient India 1981-2000.
India is the World’s oldest civilization. If you have ever longed to voyage to this of kings and yogis, Lord Krishna and Lord Shiva, then join Patita Pavana on this thrilling ride. The decades since his travels have witnessed some monumental changes in India, with many pilgrimage sites now full of apartment buildings and cars, cars, cars. But this was not the case in the decade from 1980-2000. India was still as it had been for centuries. Patit travels to sacred places off the beaten tracks, and encounters many of the personalities you will not find in more sophisticated cities. Come along for the ride.
“It is a journey for those not feint of heart, rolling on the throttle to realizations of the Supreme soul Sri Krishna, and how we all are so intimately connected. One of the best books I have ever had the pleasure and experience reading, and encourage everyone to saddle up and take the journey also. Hare Krishna.” —Bhushaya dasa
“What a ride! I am greatly fortunate to personally know Patita Pavana and can say that he is one of the most interesting people I have ever known. This book gives an insight to some of the oldest and sacred places in India…all done on two wheels. From almost a road to non-existant, he takes us places that very few Westerners will ever see.” —Gopta dasa
