DOWNLOAD EBOOKBestselling author M.K. Ramachandran is well-known for his unique travelogues. Not only does he beautifully recount his journey but he also delves into history and culture, tying in various threads to show the reader the many elements that make India what it is. The Journey to Adi Kailash is no different. While detailing his trek to one of the most revered mountains of India, Ramachandran includes interpretations of our history, culture, traditions, the Puranas and the Upanishads, as well as contributions by great sadhus, sages and rishis. He weaves in interesting stories—of how the Asuras came to India, the ancient technology of turning metal to gold, the ninety-five-year-old woman who is well-versed in the 144 courses of Kriya Yoga, the yogi who acquires the power to fly into the sky . . . The Journey to Adi Kailash is compelling reading, and a book that holds a mirror to the greatness of India.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn this book the author has come out with an explanation of the age old Socio-culture-Religious, processes of the traditional life style of people who still have formidable beliefs in their kinship and social organization/status. This book has drawn attention to what have in the past been more or less back-waters of the literary main-stream, save for some actions in Gazetteers or in the books left behind by foreign travellers during the British regime, which is still pretty much an unbeaten track for others.
