Tirtha is a Sanskrit word that refers to pilgrimage sites that inspire the soul to cross over from worldly engagement to infinite states of bliss, knowledge and perception. That is exactly what Dana Scott Westering experienced when what began as an artistic foray to India turned into a full-blown emotional and intellectual journey. Included in the introduction is the author's overall reaction to his travels; he then proceeds to identify through art and text 41 locations that he visits. Paintings are presented in a stylistic form that represents not only the architecture and landscapes, but also how he feels each is best represented in terms of the medium: in watercolor, pen and ink, or charcoal--all in an effort to convey the emotional essence of what he has encountered on his journey through this astonishing country.

Through an analysis of the rhetorical strategies of those who have written about his life (his hagiographers), the book argues that the reporting of the experience of being in Swami Rama Tirtha's presence is a central feature of these hagiographies. The nature of the experiences of close disciples of the Swami as opposed to those of followers of a later period helps account for the radical changes in the portrayal of the Swami in the hagiographical tradition.
