Inner Trek - A Reluctant pilgrim in the Himalayas.
By Mohan Ranga Rao
In this book the author tells us he has gone to many treks in the Himalayas but none was like the powerful place of Kailash. It is a travelogue that again is thought provoking where he shares why this trek was a changing point in his life for this adventure in a strange land of ancestral vedic hindu sages, great intellectuals, spiritual leaders where they performed rituals acted like a mirror into his soul, becoming an inner journey and a transformation.
First we get to know an event that torments the author for sometime when a land mafia almost takes control of his wellbeing. Slowly we get to know about his family and other members alongside his personality and others traits.
Mamatha inspires him to visit Kailash and manasarover. Here we learn why he was first reluctant towards prayers and it's healing power. How will his journey through the spiritual lands dawn him with spiritual enlightenment? I liked reading about the various places, rituals and their particular significances in Indian mythology. I enjoyed the scenic beauty of the places shared in pictures in chapter.
Travels not only add enjoyment to our lives by escaping mundanity but change our perspective towards the world.
This is one of those travelogues. Go check it out.
