The ultimate guide to seeking out the best gurus and spiritual communities in India - giving the lowdown on food, facilities and bringing your own mosquito net, as well as when to go, what to pack and how to get there - from the foothills of the Himalayas to the Malabar coast.
A traditional handbook may help you with your vaccinations and visa, and get you from palace to restaurant or monument, but until now there has been no in-depth guide to spiritual India. With detailed descriptions of ashrams, yoga schools and meditation centres as well as quotes from sadhus and masters and local legends, this is as inspiring, funny and fascinating as it is useful, whether you're a curious beginner or a seasoned pilgrim.
