RATING:C
This
book contains nine stories from various Indian beings of differing
religious and social standing. The very first story gave me someone
to relate to, in their sharing of my attitude towards death among
other matters. I too am opposed to Western medicine, though not for
the same reasons, and I too wish to die naturally rather than prolong
my ailing body by pill~popping when something arises that cannot be
cured without.
I
related well to this first tale, as I also shared a rejection of
vehicular use, have lived several of my more than 40 years with one
meal a day, and hold ahimsa as higher priority than convention. The
stories continued, traversing such variables as Godly whores, blind
singers and soldier monks.
I
would recommend the book to those interested in seeing a different
side of India from the conventionally seen city life.
