Short description

"This man is my Guru, he is totally mad and we go a pilgrimage together." Quoting Kipling at a rural constable in order to spare herself a night in the cells, Dianne Sharma-Winter begins a story tellers quest across the spiritual landscape of India.

Extended description

No Shoes, No Money and No Sex. These are the rules laid down when Dianne Sharma-Winter opts out of the tourist trail and onto the highway of life in modern day India. Weaving humor and wisdom with unflinching honesty, Sharma-Winter explores the landscape of India through the stories of Shiva and his tempestuous relationship with the Goddess Ganga.
"I knew when I met Chandon Giri that this Naga Baba was a living story, little did I know it would become the story of my life."

Review by: Benjamin Fritz on Sep. 20, 2011 :
I became very sad and compassionate. I had to laugh out loud. And I overthought my whole beeing, our whole beeing. And that all within a few minutes while reading the first few pages on a boring morning-train-ride. Excellent!
I love Dianne Winters writing style: a pinch of sarcasm on the surface but through the twinkling eye offering a deep view of emotions, feelings and explanations.
And last but not least of course a very interesting book about one of Indias most fascinating and least accessible misteries: the sadhus «baba-life».

Stimulation for the senses, you can almost taste India.
