INDIA BITES YOU SOMEHOW - TRUE-LIFE TALES of 40 Westerners Discovering the Sacred Within the Chaos of One Magnificent Country
Will your next step lead you to nirvana or land you in cow dung?
INDIA BITES YOU SOMEHOW is a rollicking collection of true stories that take you deep into the heart of the magical, mysterious Indian experience. Forty people from nineteen countries share their journeys -- both worldly and sacred -- from the 1960s to the present, where they encountered such questions as…
Should I follow the yogi into the jungle to pursue man-eating tigers? Should I give this persistent, maimed child even more rupees? Dare I punch the porter who just pinched me on the behind, or argue with the government official who refuses to extend my visa? Is this guru really enlightened? Will I survive this tsunami rushing toward me? Will I ever be able to get off the toilet?
These narratives – moving, terrifying, hilarious, awe-inspiring -- were recorded by the holy mountain Arunachala in South India, considered by many to be the most powerful place on Earth. It is also where the great sage of the 20th century, Ramana Maharshi, lived for most of his life. Both Mountain and sage have had a profound influence on teachers in the past as well as many present well-known spiritual teachers today.
If you have been to India, you might recognize yourself in these pages. If you would like to come to India, this is advance warning, but with lots of encouragement. If you know you’ll never make it to India, this will take you deep into its essence, minus the scary microbes. And you will find out why, as one Canadian woman says, “Anything is possible in India! It really is! You might go crazy in the process, but it is possible!”

I am a cancer patient who has been given the all clear for Stage 4 Lymphoma. India is on my bucket list. In late January I am going for 29 days to Southern India. This book I cannot put down. All stories are true life, whether they are about homeless dogs, funeral pyres or the unending generosity of the Indian heart. This book is a wealth of knowledge. It is not a guide book to the various temples, but a guide to the soul of India. I feel that I have a much better understanding of snippets that comprise India.

I enjoy these types of journeys, made by many different types of personalities. I am also a real India aficionada and feel so immersed in the culture and customs that I can almost smell the curry and envision the colors.

Wonderful and inspiring book. It has made me realize that I cannot put off my trip to India for much longer. A definite must read.
