DESCRIPTION:
The story of a profound and beautiful guru-shishya relationship In the impoverished village of Rikhia, a forgotten corner of northern India, its primarily aboriginal Santali population subsisted without electricity, water, roads, or sanitation. Malnutrition, disease and illness were par for the course of their collective lives. Until. . . Today, there has been a 360-degree transformation in this community. You can see well-fed toddlers playing on quiet roadsides, calling out 'Namo Narayan!' to passers-by, older children cycling to well-attended schools, and everyone busy in a productive and positive way. How did that come about? That is the story Barbara Pidgeon tellsus and, in doing so, reveals the extraordinary lives of the two people, the principal architects of this change and their relationship to one another. One of them, the guru, Swami Satyananada, a stalwart of yogic philosophy, founder of the Bihar School of Yoga, and the other, his disciple, Swami Satyasangananda, one of the few women
sannyasins. This book gives an insight into both these deeply spiritual and extraordinary people from whose lives we have many lessons to learn.
About the Author
Barbara Pidgeon grew up in Scotland but has spent much of her adult life in several countries around the world. As an expatriate worker she always endeavoured to understand the diverse cultures she felt privileged to work and live amongst and would seek firsthand experience in their cultural and spiritual practices. Her many enriching experiences over the years led her to a rural spot in Jharkand, India where she met her guru Swami Swami Satyasangananda Saraswati who s story she had the great honour to write about in this book.
Currently, she lives in London researching how humans breathe, a topic that she finds incredulous that we know so little of and one that will be the subject of her next book.
