They met at the foot of the steps that climb Chamundi Hill; the young American and the old Indian Sage. As they climb the 1001 steps to the top of Chamundi a journey of a different sort takes place between the two men which quietly and unexpectedly lead to some mind popping moments as they near the top of the hill.

This is a magnificent read for anyone who loves a good story for the Indian sage tells many stories which begin to instruct the American who shortly realizes he is on a spiritual pilgrimage. The stories are the India equivalent to Greet Mythology. The stories explore the pantheon of Indian gods.

The old sage uses the stories to instruct his reluctant student. The sage questions the American on the meaning of each story and quite often uses another story to clarify a point from a previous story.

While these stories are being told, the stories of the sage and the American begin to emerge as well and insights begin to flow.

This is a wonderful book and I highly recommend it. I love it, gobbled in up with delight and a few ahha moments of my own.

The book is called Climbing Chamundi Hill: 1001 Steps with a Storyteller and a Reluctant Pilgrim by Ariel Glucklich.

Quote about Books

Books are the carriers of civilization. Without books, history is silent, literature dumb, science crippled, thought and speculation at a standstill.

Wouldn’t it be great if we each had our own tough guy
to chase away the villains that plague us daily — the
limiting beliefs, the negative thoughts and emotions,
the self-sabotaging habits?
