Western Sadhus and Sannyasins in India

Meer over het boek

Marcus Allsop explores the lives of Westerners who embrace the Hindu sadhu lifestyle in India, presenting a spiritual travelogue that captures their experiences as expatriates. His observations reveal how deeply India's spirituality influences everyday life, illustrated by anecdotes like finding Krishna's image on a peanut butter jar. While his quest to understand these individuals is engaging, some insights may feel repetitive. The book offers a unique perspective on cultural exchange and the allure of spiritual renunciation.
