They will also benefit from the powerful spiritualteachings, based upon ancient Indian Vedic principles, which the authorlearns from the guru whilst following his 'cosmic caravan' aroundsouthern India.This epic journey is saturated with the sights, sounds and smells ofspiritual India - from spices and incense to sitars and tablas - as wetake in the surreal Kathakala dancers from Kerala, the ancient temple ofthe fish-eyed goddess Meenakshi at Madurai, and the Dravidian-style beachtemples of Mahabalipuram that the gods had tried to drown.But we are not just being taken on an outer passage through paranormalIndia. Lord of the Dance also emboldens and inspires the reader to maketheir own inner journey into the world of myth and mystery and, not least,help them face any difficulties - or demons! - they may meet on theway.
