At eighteen, a young man left India for Australia chasing money and success, and within a few years he had built a fortune. Behind that drive was a childhood dream of God that never left him. Despite years of astrology, intense meditation and tantric practice, the divine remained out of reach, and wealth could not fill the emptiness he felt. He returned to India and gave up everything to live as a monk. Alone in the Himalayas, facing hunger, harsh weather and wild animals, he pursued a deeper search that led to a startling discovery about himself. This memoir traces that path through a life of spiritual searching, for readers wondering how to find meaning in a confusing age.
