Description

When travelling across the Himalaya, it is preferable to avoid unexpected meetings because one can run into a saint, a siddha, a lunatic, or a fraud. Essays on each of them are included in Namita Gokhale's anthology Mystics and Sceptics. The Himalayan mountain range's sacred terrain is traversed by this profoundly insightful anthology, which incorporates various civilizations and religious traditions in its ongoing heritage. It covers tales of wanderers and seekers, gurus and enlightened souls, tricksters and delusionists, through myth, legend, and anecdotal recollection. Guru Milarepa, Neem Karoli Baba, Siddhi Ma, Paramhansa Yogananda, Swami Rama, Guru Nanak, Swami Vivekananda, Haidakhan Baba, Yeshe Tsogyal, Lal Ded, and Sri Madhav Ashish are just a few of the spiritual seekers included in this article. The dhuni people's revered customs are also covered. The stories herein are as varied as the flora and fauna of the mountains. Some of them display the resilient scepticism that is the foundation of true belief; others take a leap of faith. There are encounters and quests, wanderings and lost paths, disappointments and betrayals, but they carry the spirit of the seeker, of the search and the continuing journey within them. This book is a tribute to the mysteries of the Himalaya and the mystic secrets it contains. Authors: Holly Gayley, Andrew Quintman, W.Y. Evan Wentz, Ranjit Hoskote, Navtej Sarna, Makarand R. Paranjape, Alexandra David-Neel, Rajiv Mehrotra, Paramhansa Yogananda, Sujata Prasad, Romola Butalia, Madhu Tandan, Namita Gokhale, Rene von Nebesky-Wojkowitz, Swami Rama, Devyani Mungali, Bhushita Vasistha, Sidharth, Tsering Dondrup, Jono Lineen, Tshering Tashi, Bijoya Sawian, Alka Pande and Vaibhav Kaul.
