LIVING AT ARUNACHALA – In the Foothills of a Sacred Mountain in South India

Read the Introduction to ‘Living at Arunachala’

Purchase ‘Living at Arunachala’

In my collection of stories, ‘Living at Arunachala,’ I share my experiences living in India for six years, four and a half of which were spent in Tiruvannamalai (Tiru). This holy city is one of the five in Southern India that represent the five elements of life: Fire, Earth, Water, Air, and Space. The extinguished volcano of the sacred Mount Arunachala in Tiru symbolizes the Fire element, the “Fire Energy of Shiva,”. Tiru is famous for its many temples, adheenams, and ashrams, full-moon walks around the mountain, and enlightened beings many of them still in the body and visiting every year. It’s a place of profound devotion to spirituality.

Mother India has something for every heart and soul. I invite you to come and discover Arunachala and the incredible culture of South India.

It has a balance of both lighthearted topics and the more serious which will satisfy both travelers who are less experienced and those who would like to expand their knowledge and understanding of this fascinating country and its people.” – Shankari, Sound Therapist and author of ‘Racing the Storm’

“I feel that there will be many potential readers who have not been to India – and who may be inspired to read your book.” – Armand Altman Ph.D. Psychology, Yoga and Meditation Teacher
