Pilgrimage on the Path of Love

Pilgrimage on the Path of Love is a luminous spiritual odyssey through India, following Shantila, a seeker in search of spiritual awakening. Immersed in sacred landscapes and soul-stirring encounters, she faces tests of faith, endurance, and courage. With lyrical beauty and emotional depth, the novel explores the essence of awakening, reminding readers that the true pilgrimage leads inward—to the temple within. As Shantila travels from Delhi to the Himalayas, she navigates cultural challenges, inner transformation, and encounters with both beauty and adversity, ultimately discovering the divine presence within herself. The novel explores how human relationships, especially longing and heartbreak, can be transmuted into pure devotion—a rare theme that blends the romantic and the mystical. Written by an American author who has spent significant time in India, the novel becomes a bridge between East and West.

Arriving in New Delhi, expecting to be her publisher's guest, Shantila finds herself instead in a Buddhist guest house with lamas from Ladakh. There she befriends a lama. Travelling to a Himalayan hill station, and living very simply, she meets people from many different cultures who share their wisdom of life. While staying in a Buddhist monastery, her faith in the eternal harmony of creation deepens. Finally, she embarks on a momentous journey to Ladakh. There, her faith is severely tested, but she emerges as a fuller human being with a more mature understanding of the purpose of her life and the meaning of true love. Ultimately, she discovers a source of happiness within herself that does not depend on outer circumstances. She realizes that the Divine is orchestrating every moment of her life and therefore, the direction is always right.

Pilgrimage on the Path of Love, a spiritual odyssey, takes the reader on an inward journey of self-knowledge and an outward journey to the Himalayas simultaneously.
