Book Cover & Preview Text
My name is Sadhu. My prana emanated from distant India. My ancestors arrived on the Caribbean island of Trinidad as laborers for sugar-cane plantations. I was born in Trinidad. As an obedient teenager encouraged by my parents, I left the island of Trinidad to seek wisdom from the ashrams of India…
…I was asked by an old monk at the entrance to the shrine to remove my sandals, wash my hands, my face and my feet and then enter the waiting room. The little room was lit by cotton wicks dancing in shining brass bowls. The room smelt like a field of spring blossoms. Small burners floated delicately perfumed waves of incense.
Covering the entire wall opposite to where I sat was a large oriental fan.
…Like the egret which gracefully touched and blessed the bow of the boat on the morning I was leaving the mangrove marshes of Trinidad, my soul and my songs of peace will travel the valleys and alleys of the world, touching lives.
