Product Description
Journey to sacred mountains in the right way, and can they really change your life? Award-winning English author Martin Goodman put them to the test. Starting at the fabled Mount Ararat, where Noah's Ark came to rest, he tackles mountains in Turkey, Ireland, India, Sri Lanka and the United States, with episodes in Germany and England.
The aim was to visit mountains sacred to different traditions, honouring different approaches. Arunachala, in Tamil Nadu, was the core mountain for this journey - other mountains such as Kailas are seen as being the abode of Shiva, but this is seen as being Shiva incarnate: the mountain and Shiva are one. The pilgrimage continues to a series of mountain encounters in the American Southwest. This is a personal journey - for the author, it involved profound lessons in gay relationship. But the insights are large enough to inspire readers to pilgrimages of their own.
